Video of Makita Frank Talking About the Makita SP6000K Plunge Saw

Not sure if you viewed this YouTube video yet? We had our Makita Rep. explain the advantages of buying the Makita Plunge Saw over the competition.

Didn't do anything for me.

Watched the video - Why is 48 degree bevel better than 45 degree?  You can turn it up to 11 (like Spinal tap) but I'm not getting the benefit.

I guess we can have situations in life when a wall comes together at less than a 90 degree angle so then if one was putting up trim that butted at the outside corner of this wall there may be a need for more than two 45 degree bevels.  Seems this going a couple of degrees past perfect is common in CSMS and such perhaps more so than in circular saws.  I didn't hear anything that would make me buy this saw over the TS55 though...

Best,

The extra degrees on the bevel are a usefull feature. And the anti-tilt thing is a nice find aswell.
But the makita doesn't have a riving knife (The festool, makita and most mafells all have springloaded rivingknives (so you don't have to remove them when actually plunging in the middle of a piece)
