Makita SP6000J1 110 V Plunge Saw - Blue

Well made. Ergonomic. Precise. Powerful. User-friendly. Makita excel in cutting tools and this bit of kit is no exception. Used to cut 20mm like a knife through butter. Lines were smoother than the factory cut. Connected to a vacuum and created hardly any mess. Pre-scoring feature means splinter free cuts on both sides of ply—another outstanding feature on a product with so much going for it. (Tip: just remember to keep the machine moving at a consistent pace or it will burn the wood!)

Indispensable bit of kit

Would help if they told you that you will need a transformer and suggestions welcome on cheapest option

Da descrizione è previsto il binario guida che invece non viene consegnato. Il packaging della spedizione a dir poco inappropriato, il prodotto è arrivato ammaccato. Diffidate e prendetela altrove.

You will be 100% happy how it performs

Prenez garde ! À se demander si Makita ne tenterait pas d’escroquer les clients d’Amazon… La scie Sp6000J est indiquée fournie avec la coulisse 194368 (1400mm de longueur), mais le rail est manquant ! J’ai pris le risque de commander malgré un avis qui en faisait état. Je me disais qu’il devait s’agir d’une exception, d’un simple oubli. Mal m’en a pris ! Manifestement c’est plutôt la norme. Mais ça n’est pas tout… Au déballage, les notices étaient froissées et certaines rangées dessous la semelle de la scie… Parlons-en de la semelle. Celle-ci présente des traces de gras, de rayures et de nombreux petits impacts laissant douter de l’état neuf du produit ainsi que de qualité de la glisse sur les rails… Autres éléments à déplorer : - contrairement à la photo, il n’y avait pas d’emballage carton autour de la caisse plastic Makita, elle est donc assez rayée ; - l’emballage Amazon ne protège peut être donc pas assez cette caisse plastic, ce qui expliquerait pourquoi celle-ci était enfoncée (pour pouvoir l’ouvrir j’ai dû la redresser…) ; - la vis de serrage servant à bloquer l’angle de biseau se promenait dans la boîte ; - service client injoignable ; - finition douteuse… - description erronée car il ne s’agit pas d’un appareil de 110 volts de tension et il manque le rail promis ; Bref, à croire qu’il s’agit d’un produit reconditionné. Même les outils LIDL bénéficient d’un rangement mieux soigné… Enfin, j’ai signalé le produit comme non conforme.

I recently purchased this saw from Amazon. I'm quite happy with it in spite of a couple of problems. First, upon receipt the base was warped. When I set the saw on the track there was a pronounced rocking chair effect. Turns out a couple of screws in the base had been over tightened. Since I (knowingly) bought a saw that had been previously purchased and then returned to Amazon, it's possible this problem did not originate with the manufacturer (although the saw did not appear to have been used). It took me a while to figure out what the problem was, but once I did, it was an easy fix. Second, there is a button/pin you push in to use the saw's pre-cut feature and then pull back out to make the final cut. It pushes in just fine but when you try to pull it back out the small red rubbery cap pulls off. This is a real annoyance. You have to pinch the sides of the button to hold it in place while you pull. There doesn't seem to be an easy fix for this. Since the button is soft, I don't think any glue of cement will help. You just have to remember to pinch as you pull. You could remove the pin from the saw, drill a small hole in it, tap it, and install a screw to hold the cap on but this would be a lot of bother. Third, and last, the blade I received does not cut melamine well. It chips badly on the underside. I replaced it with a Tenryu melamine blade which cuts beautifully with virtually no chipping. The Tenryu blade is slightly smaller than the Makita blade but the pre-cut feature still works although you may need to press down in the saw a little to keep the pre-cut from occasionally skipping. I sharpen my own saw blades so, when I next sharpen blades, I'll resharpen the Makita blade and see if I can get it to cut better. So far I've cut 45 melamine cabinet doors with this saw. I've not yet cut anything but melamine. The chipping caused by the Makita blade resulted in a great deal of ugliness an it all needed fixing which was tedious. Anyway, after a little tweaking, I love the SP6000. I can't well compare it to other track saws since it's the only one I've used. I love how I can accurately cut full 4x8 sheets w/o a lot of lifting and fighting with bulk and weight. My great wish is that I could find a VERY ACCURATE square with which I could easily and accurately layout four foot cross cuts in full sheets. There are gizmos you can attach to the track that are supposed to help you do this but they are so short that I can't see how they could be accurate over a four foot span. There are large collapsible four foot squares but they are for laying out floor tile or other similar tasks where "close enough" is all you need. "Close enough" won't work for cabinetry. Framing squares are neither accurate enough or long enough to work well. Does anyone have any helpful comments they might make?

Comme indiqué, le titre induit en erreur puisqu'il est indiqué scie + coulisses... mais le rail n'est pas livré. Décevant, je mets donc la note la plus basse, en espérant que MAKITA lise ce message et puisse faire un geste commercial.
