## Description

A plunge Circular saw and guide rail is a more portable option over a Table saw for smooth, accurate and splinter-free cuts in plywood and other large wood panels. Makita offers the 18V X2 (36V) LXT cordless plunge Circular saw, and Makita has an expanding range of blades so you get the right accessory for the job. The 6-1/2” 56T carbide-tipped plunge saw blade (B-57342) is ideal for cutting wood, MDF and laminate materials. Key features include the thin-kerf design and fluorine coating to reduce Pitch build-up – and both features are engineered for less drag and up to 140% more cuts per battery charge over standard Makita corded plunge saw blades (b-07353). the blade also features high-grade carbide tips for durability, and laser cut slots for quieter cutting and less vibration. Each blade is fully hardened and expertly hand-tensioned from steel saw plates for true cuts.

Review: This genuine plunge saw blade is the best. Previously, I used an S-brand blade with a spider design on my circular saw and was very satisfied with it, so I tried using the same blade on my plunge saw. However, since it wasn’t a blade designed specifically for a plunge saw, it flexed, and the middle section of my track got slightly cut. I know the rubber guard plays a more important role than the guide rail edge itself, but it still doesn’t sit well with me. Lol. I’ll just think of it as a lesson fee.
Review: I used this on the Kreg track saw. It has a very nice smooth cut and worked, however, the cut is too thin for the Kreg riving knife, when cutting the riving knife would catch when it enters the wood and stop the blade. (Took me a while to figure out what I was getting hung up on). It worked when cutting very thin pieces were the riving knife could bend the wood away, and also when used in plunge mode.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: China  if you zoom in on the back of the product image that will show  it's a great blade

**Q: Can this blade be used with the 6 1/2" circular saw?**
A: This blade is half the thickness of a regular saw blade since it is meant for a cordless saw. But It can be used with a 6-1/2” circular saw if you’re ok with the kerf only being 1/16” rather than the usual 1/8”.

**Q: Looking for a good aluminum blade. Cutting 1/8” break metal**
A: This blade has a 20mm arbor hole so only works with tracksaw

**Q: How stiff is this blade? The original blade that came with my makita 36v track saw is too flexible and wanders**
A: This is a very similar but different blade. Same thickness but different hook if memory serves meet correctly.  This blade actually out performed my festool blades for cutting a lot of angled cross cuts on phenolic faced multi ply plywood. That being said if i was making critical cuts I would go back to festool blades. Freud has a thicker blade for track saws.
