So as promised short review saws Makita SP 6000.
For a long time I looked closely at her, no, not like that ...
For a long time I pressed the toad in myself, I need it - I don’t need it, etc.
In principle, I order the entire sawing at the production site, so I did not need a saw for cutting chipboard. But due to some perverse inclinations when creating furniture, namely bent MDF elements, I needed a saw.
You can, of course, buy postforming and not take a steam bath, rot to your health and glue on the matrix.
But postforming turns out to be too dry in most offices (it dubs in their warehouses) and it is not an option to bend small radii out of it.
Plus, the last assembly of the chest of drawers required the additions to the design right along the way, for which a saw was very required. And this was the last straw that overpowered the scales in the direction of the purchase.
I ordered it and went to pick it up, plus I immediately took a 1,400 mm guide rail to it.
Do not take the clamps, full of garbage. They can only be applied along the edges of the tire, and this requires a table of exactly 1.4 meters. I fastened through wooden blocks conventional clamps.
So what else?
Why Makita? Well, DeWalt is just as expensive, plus there is an ambush with guides, in short supply. At the prices it turned out like this, I give it in dollars, so that people do not break their heads, otherwise the team here is international)))
12 560 RUB ($ 351.6),
DeWALT DWS520K 15 600 RUB ($ 436.7)
BOSCH GKT 55 GCE Proffessional 16,364 p. ($ 458)
Bosch is more powerful, but Egger saws very calmly, so Makita has enough power. Well, I think there is no need to explain to anyone why Festul is not present in the review. Furniture for me is a hobby and nothing more.
Although a hobby that sometimes brings money)))
The box itself.
The saw was made in England, which could not but please.
So, I drank myself.
It weighs quite a bit, just over 4 kg.
This is a guide bar. 1 400 mm.
Anti-slip strips on the back and an anti-chipping strip on the right.
This is a saw on a tire.
The blue retainer keeps the saw in place and prevents it from tipping over when sawing at an angle.
And two black lambs remove the longitudinal backlash when the saw moves along the ruler.
This is an adjustment of the cutting angle, up to 47 degrees.
This is the cutting depth, in my opinion, 56 mm.
And now the saw itself cut.
I do not recommend cutting without a vacuum cleaner, you will get nano-dust.
And then again go through the whole part to full depth.
More from a little experience. The saw must be positioned so that you would immerse it to the depth of cut to the part itself and then lead to the part and cut it. After cutting off the part, do not raise the saw, but continue on until the cut part ends. Otherwise, you will get baked saw rings on the ends of the part. Not scary, but not beautiful.
This is exactly this 2-3 mm of the preliminary cut.
Egger material 16 mm.
The saw exit is visible on the right. You can't do this !!!
And this is already a sawn-off bar. The sidewall is simply polished.
What is the bottom line.
The saw cuts chipboard easily. But to be honest, you only need to use it for cutting in the workshop, where it will stand on the workbench and you won't have to carry it anywhere.
I took it for occasional use because I put supports under the tire, expose all this, etc. very dreary and time consuming. But if necessary, she saws great.
Thanks to all!
The Makita plunge-cut saw is a hand-held electrified tool, saw blade which, in the off state, is flush with the support platform, and when the electric motor is turned on, it smoothly lowers to a predetermined depth. This allows you to accurately position the circular at the place of the future cut, which is necessary when performing delicate carpentry operations - grooving, cutting tenons and others. In addition, the hidden disc reduces the risk of injury.

Makita SP6000 plunge-cut saw for professional tasks. Depending on the installed disc, it works with wood, plywood, chipboard and MDF, laminate, composite materials, plastic, agglomerates (artificial stone).
The plunge saw has the advantage of how it works. In saws of this type the saw blade is located at the top of the tool and goes down only when working.
This design feature allows you to cut into the work surface at any point. That is, it is not necessary to start sawing from the edge, as is done with conventional circular saws.
The makita SP6000 plunge-cut saw is designed for straight cuts and is widely used for longitudinal and cross cuts, plunge cuts and grooving. The base tilt function allows you to make inclined cuts, as well as to process end faces.
The SP6000 circular saw is indispensable for overhaul, carpentry, installation in the worktop of mortise and surface-mounted sinks, built-in household appliances etc.
An important property of this saw is the high-quality cutting result. High power and smooth starting results in clean, neat cutting lines.
The best results are obtained using guides that securely hold the saw in relation to the workpiece being cut.
To prevent the tool from tipping over, especially when used in an inclined position, a slider clasp is provided in the saw base design.
The makit saw SP6000SET is equipped with a 2mm depth lock for marking cuts. Pre-cut with a depth of 2mm allows you to get the cleanest edge possible without chips or burrs. This function is used when working with a guide.
To select the immersion depth, there is a scale with a lock, which allows you to set values with an accuracy of 1 mm. The maximum depth of vertical processing is 56mm, with an inclination of 45 degrees - 40mm, 48 degrees - 38mm.
Makita SP6000 can cut at an angle with a tilt to the right up to 48 degrees, which allows you to cut the material at the desired angle, as well as handle the ends of the workpieces. Also, the saw can tilt in the opposite (left) direction by 1 degree.
For a comfortable and quick installation the required angle of inclination of the saw is a series of clamps with positions of 22.5, 45, 48 and -1 degrees.
There are quick tilt levers to select between 45, 48 and -1 degrees.
The narrow cover of the SP6000 plunge-cut saw allows you to work close to walls from a distance of 18mm.
The safety of the plunge-cut saw is ensured by electronic and mechanical systems... There is a function of braking the motor when the saw jams in the workpiece, protection against overheating (the fuse turns off the tool during overload), blocking against accidental start-up and double insulation.
Makita SP6000 SET is equipped with modern electronic systems responsible for stabilizing the engine speed, smooth starting and adjusting the disc rotation speed.
The plunge-cut saw speed can be adjusted from 2000 to 5200 rpm. For this, a rotary knob with a scale from 1 to 6 is provided.
In addition, the plunge-cut saw is just as comfortable to work with. The design contains two ergonomic handles with soft cover, a compartment in the upper handle for storing a hexagon, clear scales with risks, external access to the brushes, clear controls.
Replacing the disc is as easy as possible and is performed in three steps. To replace, it is necessary to activate the unlock button and turn the locking lever, lower the handle down and with the fixed shaft, using the hexagon, unscrew the fastening bolt.
The SP6000 is equipped with a dust extraction system. The dust outlet is located in opposite direction saw movement. It is possible to connect construction vacuum cleaner as well as their synchronous operation.

The Makita SP6000 plunge-cut circular saw is a professional tool designed for cutting sheet materials made of wood, aluminum, artificial stone... Of course, such a wide range of materials can be cut by the saw if the corresponding blades are installed. Due to their design, Makita SP6000 saws are also often used to trim sub-floor near a wall to create a gap between the floor and the wall, as the distance between the wall and the blade is only 18 mm. The maximum diameter of the disc that is installed on the Makita SP6000 saw is 165 mm. With this blade, the saw can cut material up to 56 mm thick.
The disc is mounted on a spindle, which is connected by a motor shaft through a gear and is fixed with a screw and a washer. To replace the blade on a Makita SP6000 circular saw, press the release button at the top of the handle. The locking pin will sink into the body and the saw can be tilted downward. Lowering the saw downwards, align the locking pin with the groove in the depth gauge. The groove on the depth gauge is formed by rotating the spring-loaded scale plate by a certain angle. After the locking pin enters the groove and locks in there, a window on the protective casing will open access to the disc mount. The disc mounting screw is loosened with a hex wrench, which is stored in the front handle. To prevent the disc from rotating when unscrewing the screw, the shaft on which the disc is installed must be blocked. This is done with a button located between the handle and the protective casing.
Basically, cutting is always done with the saw base plate on the material (0 degrees) and the blade at 90 degrees to the material. But often it is required to cut the workpiece at an angle. For these purposes, the Makita SP6000 circular saw has the ability to tilt the base plate at an angle from -1 to 48 degrees. To tilt the plate, you need to turn the thumbscrew in the front and rear of the saw, set the desired tilt angle, and tighten the screw back.
For the convenience of the operator, there is a scale near the screw in the front part, which shows the angle at which the base plate is tilted. Markings on the scale are applied every 5 degrees and additionally markings for setting the saw at an angle of 22.5 degrees (needed to form octagonal structures made of wood). There is an additional lock on the tilt scale that helps to install exact value angle of inclination at a value of 22.5 degrees. An angle of inclination of -1 degree is required when filing subfloors near a wall. The saw can be positioned at this angle using two clips located on the base plate at the bottom of the saw.
The Makita SP6000 plunge-cut circular saw is specially designed to work with a guide bar. The saw base plate has a groove that connects to a counterpart on the bar. To reduce backlash when the saw moves along the tire, there are two regulators on the base plate. They allow you to press the base plate against the shoulder on the tire and slide over it, eliminating even the slightest sideways vibrations. There is also a retainer on the base plate that allows you to hook the saw onto the tire and prevent it from tipping over. Makita guide bars can be of different lengths: 1400 mm (art. 194368-5) 1900 mm (art. 194925-9) 3000 mm (art. 194367-7). The bars can be extended using the guide rail connector (P-45777). The 196664-7 protractor can also be used with the guide rail, which is attached to the rail and allows it to be turned at a precisely specified angle.
The Makita SP6000 circular saw is called submersible, since in the idle position the saw blade is in position 0, and when turned on, the operator plunges (lowers) the saw down to the level preset on the diving depth adjustment jackal. The immersion depth is set using the thumb screw on the adjustment scale. Thus, the cutting depth is set in the range from 0 to 56 mm, and when sawing at an angle of 45 degrees from 0 to 40 mm, and at an angle of 48 degrees from 0 to 38 mm. It should be noted that when the saw is mounted on the bar, the cutting depth must be increased by the height of the bar, that is, by 5 mm.
Often the cut needs to be done without chipping on the front surface. To ensure clean, chip-free cuts, the Makita SP6000 plunge-cut circular saw is equipped with a stop. This stop sets the maximum immersion depth of the saw to 2 mm. The teeth of the blade do not sink completely into the material and do not pull it out, ensuring a chip-free cut. When a cut is made in the material along the entire length, the restriction is removed, the sawing is performed at full depth.
The SP6000 Protective Shroud completely covers the disc and protects the operator from injury. In the back there is a connection for a vacuum cleaner. On the side there is a window for access to the disk mount. Since the blade is completely hidden from the operator under the guard, there are marks on the guard to identify the leading edge of the cut. They show where the disc and material come into contact. These marks are necessary when it is necessary to cut the material not completely, but to stop cutting at a predetermined mark.
The saw is activated by a trigger switch located on the upper saw handle. The switch is equipped with a protective unlock button. To turn on the saw, you first need to press the unlock button, then press the switch. The trigger switch starts the motor at a speed of 2000-5200 rpm. Speed adjustment is possible with the red knob located at the bottom of the handle.
The Makita SP6000 saw uses a mechanical brake to quickly stop the blade after turning off the tool. Its principle of operation is similar to that of car drum brakes. A hard rubber pad presses against the disc mounted on the rotor shaft and stops it. Each time the operator presses the enable button, the brake releases the shaft and rotation begins.
To make very precise cuts or cut material into uniform strips without using a guide bar, you can use the guide fence ( parallel emphasis) 165447-6. It fits into the grooves in the front and rear of the base plate in special grooves and is clamped with thumbscrews.
For more convenient maintenance, the Makita SP6000 circular saw has quick access to the carbon brushes. To replace the brushes, just unscrew slotted screwdriver plugs on the motor housing.
