HELLO, I am new to woodworking. As a newbie I bought a brand new makita 5806 circular saw on OLX. I just want to know if it is a AUTHENTIC or a FAKE?
-the label on the unit says 5806, but on the box it says 5806B
-the unit says it is made from JAP, and I am using a MAKITA carbide tip blade, but then I have to place it backwards(logo facing the motor)
-I am not sure but I think the 5806/5806B should have a lock button(power). Apparently I dont have it.
Thank you for your help!
sir , is that the 5806 saw priced at 3.5k or the other ad at 3.3k? tempted of buying one but having second thoughts ( already have 3 saws)
based from the two ads , the saw priced at 3.5k has 5806 label on the motor , makita embossed logo on the upper blade guard, no lock button,
while the saw priced at 3.3k has 5806 label on the motor, 5806b label on the box, makita sticker logo on the upper blade guard, with lock button
i think the post i saw has been removed. i forgot the name of the seller -_- but it's the one that says:
"makita circular saw
3,500(from 4000)
with carbide tip blade"
and because the blade is placed facing the motor, it needs an adapter, making it not inlign with the baseplate. correct me if i'm wrong or maybe i just have to align it by myself. i just haven't figured it out how
It's fake! Better to get Skil from Handyman(kapag sale) than these Makita from OLX na may free pa daw na Makita blade na fake din naman. Nagoyo na ako kaso di ko na maibalik, sira yung binigay nung una kaya pinapalitan ko na lang ayaw na kasi ibigay yung cash ko. Ginawa ko na lang table saw for light duties. 🙁
Same ad mga sirs, nagoyo din ako nyan.
Oh well.. Lesson learned.. Masiyado lang ako naexcite na magstart sa woodworking/diy di ko naisip na pati tools pinepeke dito satin. Satingin niyo ba safe parin ba gamitin yung nabili ko? for cutting half inch MDF boards lang naman
Basta dagdag ingat. Yung unang binigay sakin, misaligned yung plate sa blade kaya ko sinoli. Manipis yung bakal ng base plate, sumasayad din yung cover ng blade nung sakin. Ginawa kong table saw ok pa din nman ginagamit ko pang hati ng palo china, nakaka 5 projects na ako though di naman talaga heavy usage. Yung free blade 60 teeth, ginamit ko sa skil circular saw ko pang cut ng 3/4 mdf/plywood/plyboard. Mas mura at mas maganda yung skil sa handyman pag naka sale kumpara dito sa pekeng makita na 'to.
Last month lang po nasaktuhan ko na naka sale yung skilsaw sa handyman. 3360 pesos na lang. Orig price is 4200. Muntik na din ako bumili ng makita brand sa olx. Pero parang "too good to be true" ang presyo kaya nagdecide ako na sa handyman na lang bumili.
