Competitiveness


Reasons to pay £500 for the 5103: it’s slightly more ergonomic, has a riving knife, and has soft start and a blade break.


Also, no riving knife to prevent kick back.


The us 120v versions seem to both be available and maintain a similar price differential.

    This is quite wordy –sorry but as there are no other amazon reviews i have droned on

    The information on amazon is not that great and i had to scour the internet to get some of the specs and more to the point work out the difference apart from huge price between this and makita’s other 270mm saw –the 5103r


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 5103r is available and is on amazon in the uk through third party sellers but i think it’s basically a newer model that makita has decided not to sell in the uk just yet 2022 i think makita are themselves now distributing the 5103r in the uk

    The one thing i don’t understand is the weight differenceamazon lists this 5103 as being 12


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    January 2022 listing for the 5103 now says 9


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unboxed and without the rip fence or dust port i can confirm that the hso600 weighs in at 7
