                  Lightweight for the size but very powerful cut
                  Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Rear Handle 10-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit, AWS Capable (4.0Ah). This is a big saw for big jobs and relatively easy to handle. It is also surprisingly light weight with a very compact but powerful motor. The saw has a lot of nice features but for me it looked like it might be better suited for left hand operators. Even with the handed issue I still found it easy to control with a built-in forward handle and easy push control handle at the rear of the saw. At times I found it hard to line up my cut line but once I got the cut started it was easy to follow. There is a tool to change the blade with a slot to store the tool when not needed so it is always with the saw. Removing and installing the blade is aided with a push button lock. I found it a little acquired using the blade tool and pressing the lock button when changing the blade. The deck adjustment for depth of cut is graduated with the settings and a quick release lever makes it easy to change the depth. There is also a quick release lever for angle adjustments. The 10-inch cut is really handy when cutting thicker wood like 4x4 post eliminating the need for two cuts. There is a port for vacuum attachment but no dust collection bag. The 40v lithium-ion battery fits nicely out of the way on the side of the saw and is easy to access. The kit comes with a battery charging station. There is a removable handle than can be added to the left side of the forward handle making it easier for right-handed users to control the saw. Overall, a very nice saw with a wide range of cutting potential.

                  Great tool- lighter than my corded saw!
                  I have a couple of corded skill saws and am excited to have added this to my collection. With the battery installed, it is still 1.2lbs lighter than my 7 1/4" corded skillsaw and I am not dragging around any extension cords. I would never have predicted that it would also be quieter because they are both electric, but it is noticeably more quiet than my corded saw. Working on installing a post light and it made quick work of cutting a 4 x 4. It has all the bells & whistles: Wrench for blade changing stowed under the handle, hanging hook that can hang on framing up to 3 1/4" wide, quick setting for changing cut angle, can be synced with a vacuum for indoor clean work, and it has a stop that locks the blade so it won't rotate when you change it. I can't wait to rip some plywood without worrying about snagging or cutting a cord. Probably will make quick work when cutting the sheathing out of window openings.

                  Powerful Cordless Saw
                  I have some other Makita tools that are corded but this is my first cordless Makita. Makita is a top tool brand and this 40v saw is no exception. This is my first 10-1/4 inch circular saw which makes cutting through a 4x4 a breeze. The power of this saw is amazing and didn't flinch during multiple cuts. I used it to cut landscape timbers which normally would take 2 cuts, not anymore. The size of this blade allows for 1 cut. The battery held up to multiple cuts on first use and didn't consume even a bar of battery life. Of course there is a power difference between battery powered and corded, but that is on every tool. Even with the difference in power, this saw delivers. It was easy to assemble. Out of the box, all that you need to do is charge the battery, put on the left side handle, and the blade. The blade was a pretty simple install. There is a blade lock button, then just use the included wrench to put it on. The saw is well made which accounts for the weight. It is a solid construction that is more metal than plastic. The blade is 24 tooth that gives a nice consistent cut. It also has the ability to bevel and cut an angle. There is also a quick stop blade brake when you let go of the trigger. Great safety feature. The only downside to a saw this size is the weight. It is heavy for one hand. When working by myself, which is most of the time, it created quite a challenge. But with a little effort and ingenuity, you can make it work well. On 4x4's, I pulled back the blade guard a bit and went into the wood from an angle instead of head on. This kept the wood from scooting away from me. I even quick clamped the wood to the saw horse which gave some added stability. This set includes, 40v battery and charger, 24 tooth saw blade, blade wrench, and a nice Makita bag to put it in. I am completely compressed with the Makita Cordless saw. I recommend to everyone.

                  This thing is a beast
                  My review of the Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Rear Handle 10-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit, AWS Capable (4.0Ah). First impressions. This saw is built well. Very little plastic as compared to alot of other cordless saws . The complete guard is made of magnesium which is probably why this saw is also much lighter than I would have thought. It comes with a quick charger and one 4.0 mah 40 volt battery. This saw is obviously not for everyone but I would think with the ability to cut 4x4s and more angles cuts than with a smaller saw it will work well for building decks or other framing work. I usually do not use Makita but this saw may change my mind.

                  Wow!
                  First of all a couple of tips. 1- The arbor bolt and the horizontal handle both are left hand threads. (CCW to tighten). 2- The arbor has TWO washers. The more flat washer goes under the blade and the beveled washer goes on top. The bottom washer has a ridge on one side for blades with larger holes, otherwise the ridge goes away from the blade. I have always used 7-1/4" circular saws on the job site and always had to make multiple cuts on thick stock (i.e. 4" x 4"). Well this thing zips right through a 4x4 in one pass with a nice clean end cut. The saw is a bit heavy, but it's a heavy duty saw with a 10-1/4 in blade! The beefy battery is really nice too. Forty volts at 4 amp hour. It didn't even slow down going through a 4x4 cedar post. Being a Makita, the saw quality is top notch. They even thought about blade changing. The top of the saw is flat, so you can flip it over, rest it on a flat surface so you can easily get to the blade lock and the arbor bolt. I love it !

                  Fantastic saw
                  I just think this saw is great. I have other circular saws but only 7 1/4 inch. This 10 1/4 inch great it can cut through a 4x4 without having to rotate it and make two cuts. It's heavy duty and yet it's not heavy. Magnesium body makes it light weight and strong. It comes with a 40 volt battery, charger a blade and a carry bag. rear handle makes it easier to control plus it has a handle on the top or you can screw in one on the left side if you need to. Very powerful as well. Has an onboard wrench for quick blade change. bevel adjustments. It has positive stop at 22.5 45 and 56 degrees. you can also hook up a vac to it.

                  Solid, Powerful, Timing Saving
                  I love the quality build of this saw and its features. Brushless motor, XGT protection against dirt and water, electronic brake stops it quickly and it only needs ONE 40v battery. You can cut 3-3/4" deep at 90°, 2-3/4" at 45° and 2-1/8" at 56°. That means making one pass in a lot of your cuts, instead of cutting one side and then the other to cut all the way through. It's a must have on headers, 4x4s and some LVLs. RPMs are up to 4000rpm and the Automatic Torque Drive Technology adjusts the cutting speed to give you the best performance. The thin .085" kerf, 24 tooth carbide tipped blade that came with it helps to power you through at what they say id 55% faster. I do like the look and performance of it and will be buying more to have on hand. I really like the Positive Stopper for bevel cuts. That is very nice and says a lot of time too, instantly taking you to the desired angle without a lot of adjustment. It also has AWS available to operate something like your dust collector wirelessly. This brute comes with a side handle and it really helps to keep you going straight with this big saw. You can add an optional rip fence too. All goes into the included, very well-made canvas bag. It is a very nice bag. It also comes with one 40v 4ah battery and a fast charger. The charger has a cooling system keeping everything cool. It takes about 45 minutes on the 4ah. This is one of the nicest overall kits I've seen, with the cooling fast charger, max efficiency saw blade, battery, bag and of course the saw. No complaints from me. I love taking this thing out. It's a pleasure to use. At 13ish pounds it's heavy, but I bet you'll never complain once you use it. The instruction manuals and inserts are clear and easy to understand.

                  Great addition to my tool set!
                  This is a must for all framers and builders!. This is a very powerful and durable saw. The heaviness of the saw makes it for easier cutting with less off center pull. The 10 1/4" blade means longer life with cutting of materials. Has a blue tooth hook up for a blue tooth vacuum system. Has a hook for hanging up, and a nice storage bag. Charger and one battery comes with the kit.
