Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita 5057KB 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Dust Collector
Customer Review: Not perfect, but good
Summary: 4 Stars
Be prepared to invest some time practicing with this saw. The first thing I'd recommend is remove the blade Makita gives you and buy a good diamond 4 or 6-tooth blade. Cutting speed increased and dust/chips were greatly reduced. Tried cutting with and without a vacuum hose attached. If you can set up a tight cutting area/station, the hose may work for you. When it came to ripping a plank, it took two people (one person babysat the hose). The saw is heavy and not user friendly with a hose attached. We eventually put the wind to the back of the cut-man and went without the hose. I'd say the saw picks up 60-70% of the dust w/o the hose; slightly better with the vac. Cuts are clean and quite effortless. Rated to cut up to 5 planks...we tried up to 3 with no problems. If you have to watch the cut line, say on a rip, expect chips and dust coming right up into your face...recommend a face shield vs regular safety glasses. A dust mask was used on calm wind days. This saw won't be your saving grace but it will nicely compliment Snapper or Kett shears.
