home maker:

This saw was the work horse for my new log home. It cuts through the 6by12
logs and beams with ease. I am still in the process of building my home
and would recommend this saw to anyone who is doing the same.

Big Beam, Makita-Momma-Jama !!:

This is my second beam saw from Makita. It is much better than earlier versions that were a tad sloppy by design and very under powered. This one gets it right, well mostly. The trigger button is very oddly placed and requires two hands to crank it up. I will glue an extension on the button when I can. It's a lot like trying to saw with a VW engine, you really need to be awake and have both hands on the saw. Forget the line drawing, clamp a metal speed square to the work and use it as a guide for the cut... more info

mans saw:

the saw performs great.plenty of power great for timber framing and post and beam. only draw back is plate is to narrow

Super-size-saw:

This is a great saw for cutting larger dimension material. I have used the older saws that were gold in color and they were not bad but this new model has a better platform and adjustments.I have been cutting 16/quarter mahogany with this saw and it does not bog at a reasonable cutting speed.The blade that comes with the saw is decent, however,I purchased a 60 tooth blade (Amana), from a local tool supply for about $130 and this blade cuts a little smoother.
The only thing that I did not like about... more info
