Makita 5402NA 16-5/16-Inch Circular Saw Reviews
It cuts through the 6by12. I am still in the process of building my home. This saw was the work horse for my new log home. and would recommend this saw to anyone who is doing the same. logs and beams with ease.
I am a professional remodeler and for increasing the size of door and window openings I used to have to cut one side and then try to cut the other with a recipro saw or take another cut with a circular saw from the other side, NO MORE.only thing the saw needs are reigns and a saddle. this BIG saw is just what it takes to cut all the way through a stud wall.
only draw back is plate is to narrow the saw performs great.plenty of power great for timber framing and post and beam.
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. It is hard to push with the edge of your thumb I modified mine with a half-inch ebony plug epoxied to it. This is a great saw for cutting larger dimension material. It looks like it came from the factory like that and is, in my opinion, safer to use. The only thing that I did not like about this saw is the safety button.
