I like it even more now! (Revisiting the Makita Rail Saw)

I wasn't satisfied with my review of the Makita rail saw, as I thought it should have performed better.

That's one hell of a T'shirt. Well done.

The facial expression on the thumbnail sold me on the video. :) Thanks for the review on the Makita Rail Saw, I've thought about getting one.

It's a bit odd that cordless tools have become ever more powerful to emulate corded but they started supplying narrow kerf blades. Festool have done similar. Saxon blades work fine for me. But it does help to use the correct blades: I have rip cut, cross cut, general purpose, and laminate cut blades for all my circular saws. If a cut is absolutely critical, like my daughter's second-hand ex-pub table top last week and her Ikea wardrobe doors this week, cut to within 1 or 2mm of the line then shave off the last mm

Great video! Appreciate all the details and problem solving!

I have the corded version of this saw. I switched to a Freud blade and my results have improved. My Makita blade came from China and would burn on the inside surface.

I have a corded 165mm Makita saw with a plastic attachment for working on Makita rails. I also have 4 blades: rip, general, cross, laminate cut. Works perfectly, even with my 1.5mm Saxon blades

Yep, had the same problem on 40mm oak worktops (finished using a router in the end) and had better hope on 35mm soft wood doors but no such luck. Was using the standard 2.2mm kerf on the 18V version. Annoying for £300+ of kit that was otherwise very good on sheet material like you say.

those blades are not recommended for wood. its best use on laminate and other boards like osb, plywood, plyboard etc. anything more than an inch will cause deflection since its very thing less than 2mm
