Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The makita is well made, easy to use, smooth and accuarate. It cuts first at 3 centimeters prior to full cut to eliminate chipping. For some reason i feel it runs smoother on the makita guide than the powertec guide.

Dust collection is good when hooked to a shop vac. Doggone, that is the best collection bag i've ever dreamed of. Great accessories to go with it, a square guide from a company like tso.

The plunge cut function is very smooth and almost would say too smooth and could have a bit more resistance. Used it to break down full and smaller sheets of plywood. Cuts a glassy smooth surface. Use primarily for 2” wood slabs and other thick boards... Read More

The track is reliable and the soft start on the saw really improves confidence that the track is reliably still where you put it. That's when i stumbled on plunge/track saws - i have no idea why they aren't more common.

This saw barely bogged down. Made in england. Straight line rips on rough lumber. A very slick and accurate saw with no sins.

Cons

The depth adjuster does not work properly. Even with adjustment it cuts at a negative angle that cannot be corrected with the angle adjustment. Saw makes a strange sound when attached.

Quality

I use this for solid surface countertop manufacturing and it has worked excellent, butter smooth cuts and no complaints!

It’s very accurate and the blade makes very clean cuts on plywood, virtually no chip out.

Before i was able to determine this, i experienced cutting resistance, burning, and a ragged cut.

If i already had makita batteries, i likely would have gone for the battery version but after using it for a while the cord doe... Read More

Price

I bought an inexpensive rail square to help with that which works wonderfully.

I was always skeptical mainly due to the high cost of these types of track saws.

Amazon rep offered me $20 credit pshaw the track costs $90 on their site!

Long cord that doesn't bother me for the price difference.

Shipping

Ordered again, let's see if the amazon folks understand this is 2 boxes that must be shipped

Received my makita 6000j track saw in a timely manner.

Amazon shipped out another order which arrived in perfect condition.

Competitiveness

In fact, this blade, along with the rubber strip on the rail prevents tear-out better than some of my very expensive blades use... Read More

I've owned a custom cabinet shop for 20 years and this rivals my $5,000 table saw.

The sales price of the 6000j saw plus a 55” guide rail purchased separately was less expensive than when purchased as a combo p... Read More

I purchased a 110" track from another vendor - way cheaper than makita.
