Title: disappointing performance
Review: I'm afraid that I can't agree with the 5 star ratings some of the other reviewers have given this tool. My intended use was to cut 3/4 inch birch plywood to rough size to make the parts easier to handle on the table saw. I usually cut 1 sheet of plywood in half. The saw is grossly underpowered and can barely make it through 2 passes. I never expected it to replace a corded circular saw, but this barely qualifies as a saw. The blade typically slows dramatically and frequently stops during the 2nd cut - and this is with a fully charged battery. My model is a 12V - maybe the 14V version will do a little better for you. This is not a rugged tool, and it simply doesn't have the power to produce anything but frustration - and it's way overpriced. It's OK for the occasional DIYer looking to cut nothing thicker than 3/4 material. If you're used to handling pro tools, skip this model. Makita got this one all wrong.
