What is the maximum depth of cut of the 5.5" saw at 90 degrees position? Thanks

So far we have used the saw to cut 2x4's. It cut like butter at that depth. Not sure about anything larger than that as far as ease of cutting.

Hello there! The depth of cut at a 45 degree angle is 1-15/16in and the depth of cut at a 90 degree angle is 2-7/16in.

The specs for the saw list a cutting height of 4 5/8" I believe but I think the max may be more like 4 1/2" tall wood.

Ask the manufacturer about the depth of cut. The unit I bought was .500" max on a 90 degree cut. I used the machine for production cuts of Delrin tubing - very accurate and repeatable. VERY good machine. They have a machine that will take your cut. For the buck, believe you should try it.

I just measured my saw 3 1/2" max thickness. That's from the table to the bottom of the saw guard/motor housing.

Yes,It's max cut is 6 1/4 inches. However, If you have to cut steel tho, find a blade for a 7 1/4 saw or even better sawzall blade. Infinitely cheaper ,easier and will not put makita at risk. Even if you need to cut at bevel, I would find another way. Not sure if metal blade exists and if it does it's gonna be a fortune.

yes you can put the blade in 90 degrees to normal position in the saw I got with this kit

It will be very snug. The 5 1/2 inches would be the snug part. There is no protection from the rivets to the cutting edge.

The working depth is 8 inches. That is from the floor to the bottom of the handle well. I carry a 71/2 inch circular saw in mine. I have three circular saws of three different brands and they all fit. Each fits in a different manner.

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.

Nope. The idea is to make the saw blade cut are your required angle relative to the work surface. Even if that surface is not level. So you first set the Angle Guage on the sufface and press Zero. Then place the Guage on the blade to adjust for the angle (true angle relative to the surface). I've found that the adjustment markings on my table saw and chop saw are not accurate enough to eliminate minor gaps in longer pieces like picture frame corners or door fronts. Very nice little device.

This saw has several positive lock stops both sides, including 45 degrees. I'm not sure what's missing from the description, but they're there. I have owned 2 of these and been very satisfied with both.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question, for at this time I've only used my saw for cutting 10" wide boards.

Sorry I can't answer that question as I sent the saw back to Amazon. It was so poorly made I did not want to own it.

Max. cut depth is 1 1\2". Also,the saw is surprisingly quiet for a circular sawWorldGoodsCorp

You basically have to adjust it based on the thickness of the material your cutting,less pressure thicker material,im not sure on the exact #'s never over 90psi

The cutting head tilts to about 80 - 85 degrees. I don't find, by not tilting to a full 90 degrees, creates a problem trimming higher shrubs flat on top.
