I recently was given a Makita Hypoid Drive saw for Christmas, will this work with that or is it better for direct drive sidewinding saws?

sorry i can't tell you that i prefer to use mine with a Dewalt 18V 6.5" sidewinder because its half the weight of my worm drive saw. i a lover not a fighter these days.

I use one with good success on a variable speed 1/2 power drill. No idea if it will work well on your saw.

The saw uses the large black 18 v battery's. I suspect you have a white drill. It has a lower power rating battery that won't fit and would probubly burn up. All the green/ blue tools use the same battery. Unfortunately makita never mentions this that I see. It's like pro verses handyman tools

The important thing is that the foot of the saw has a front edge that is perpendicular to the blade. The guide that attaches to the foot has a ledge on the front to butt the foot against to keep it square. Judging by pictures of the hd77m, I think it would work fine.

Yes, it will work great, just be very steady with the saw and keep it straight.

side note: the arbors are compatible i have the milwaukee kit and use individual lenox hole saws with the arbors. both seem to be quality hole saws lenox just seems to have better reputation.

Not sure at what rpm your saw operates. I used the blade with my Dewalt DW705 mitre saw which operates at about 4k rpm. The blade made very smooth cuts in a number of different AL extrusions. I buy it again.

I would definitely use a jig to keep your angle correct, but the 3/16 seems very small. Refer to your owners manual for the correct file size, and angle for your saw.

I've used mine with my 3300 husquarvarna and was great. I also used it with my 4250 dewalt and it did great as well. Good buy

Because Home Depot doesn't care how the product gets to the customer. All the bad reviews I have read are from bent rails and damaged product. I used the saw at the JLC show and have used Festool and Mafele and the makita is as good if not better and easier on the wallet. I am a cabinet maker and finish carpenter and love this saw.

I have this Makita saw and use a Festool track, my understanding is that the Dewalt track is not compatible though

Not so good for that. I would have to see your saw blade to answer properly but I have my doubts. As for the 4mm chainsaw, the "round file" part is tapered too much and would distort the chain .... to my thinking. I am sure it would help out in a pinch for just one time or so but it is not designed for chain saws.

You have a nice saw. I believe you have a 1" arbor so this blade will work fine. The one problem I have with Forrest blades is they seem to want to spread throughout the shop one you use one, you'll want them everywhere, I have five including a dado for the table saw. Keep the pitch off with a good resin cleaner. If they become dull from use or you hit a nail (made me sick when I did) send them to Forrest to have them reconditioned, it will be money well spent. Be safe, have fun.bob

Not sure. The vital point is what the pitch of your saw is. This chain is for a 16" saw that takes a .325 pitch. If your saw fits those two numbers the answer is yes. Your drive wheel is sized to the pitch. some are 1/8" pitch and would not work with this chain. Good Luck

Some guys like the sidewinders. I prefer worm drives though I admit that as I approach 70 my strength has ebbed considerably. Even though I think a worm drive is easier to control and more powerful for long rips, I like the relatively puny Festool track saw for shop work and installations. The DWS535 is a better machine for framing if that's what you're buying a circle saw for. That is really what it boils down to: your strength and the work you'll mostly be doing. Framing lumber is never really flat and the extra power of a worm drive lays waste to lumber that wants to twist or pinch the blade as you knock out the work. Some guys like the sidewinders.

First, I must say I don't have a Makita rotary hammer. SDS-Plus is a standard. It will work as long as you have an SDS-Plus and not SDS or SDS-Max.

Not familiar with the Makita saw. I purchased the Bosh 3814 to make cuts on stainless steel rods for a staircase rail i was building. I used 1/2" stainless steel rods and had numerous cuts to make, the saw was flawless. At one point I cut 5 half inch rods at once, again no problems. I've also used it for 1/4" angle iron - cuts like a hot knife thru butter, it's a nice saw and the clamp holds your material in place with no movement. I like mine.
