Brushless Motor

Less wear, greater performance

The advantage that brushless motors have over brushed ones is that they have no friction since there are no carbon brushes. Without carbon brushes, the motors are more efficient and have a longer lifespan as there is no wear and tear (the carbon brushes in brushed motors wear out with use). They produce less noise, maintain their torque at all speeds, do not overheat, and require no maintenance.

  • This review is about the kit contents: Solo

    For its size, you don't expect this kind of power. With a fresh disc, your hand just follows. Makita has recently compromised a bit on quality, but this does not apply to this particular tool, very good and high quality.

    This review is about the kit contents: Solo

    I've had it for a few years.
    Very convenient but also powerful, so be careful when handling it because you won't even have time to feel pain.
    It cuts whole beams easily, cleanly, and quickly at 45°/90°, and at any angle with the help of an American roofer's square, and melamine sheets easily with a simple guide made from any rod and two clamps, or you can make wooden guides for it to slide in for better cutting accuracy on smaller pieces.
    It comes with a very thin 1.5mm blade, which is good so it doesn't struggle and doesn't eat up too much material, but it only has 24 teeth, which means that on melamine it can cause small chips on the top side when cutting. For better results, get a blade with more teeth.
    At the outlet, I wedged a simple PVC angle Φ40 Valsir with the gasket and turn it as needed so the sawdust doesn't come at me.

    Guys, it seems a bit flimsy in its construction, but in the 27 years that I've been working, I haven't worked with a better small circular saw.
