Overview
The Makita 4100KB is a corded electric saw running on 120V power at 12200 RPM, with a 5 inch cutting capacity. At 6.6 pounds, it is built around cutting masonry, tile and similar hard material rather than wood framing.
The high 12200 RPM speed and 5 inch capacity fit Makita's masonry and tile cutting saw line rather than a standard wood circular saw, and the category listing text agrees this belongs under Saws even without a wood blade capacity given. Corded power keeps the motor running at full speed continuously, which matters when cutting through dense material.
- 120V corded power
- 12200 RPM motor speed
- 5 inch cutting capacity
- 6.6 pound weight
Who it's for
Masonry, tile and concrete contractors who need a corded cutoff saw for hard material work. Not the right choice for framing carpenters cutting dimensional lumber, since this is built around a 5 inch masonry-oriented capacity.
Pros and cons
- 12200 RPM motor suited to masonry and tile cutting
- Corded power gives sustained runtime on long cuts
- 6.6 pounds keeps it maneuverable
- 5 inch capacity is smaller than standard wood framing saws
- Corded design needs a power outlet on site
Performance notes
A 12200 RPM motor runs considerably faster than a typical wood circular saw, which suits the abrasive or diamond blades used on masonry and tile rather than standard wood blades. Corded power avoids the runtime limits of battery tools on longer cutting jobs, and at 6.6 pounds the saw stays maneuverable for handheld cuts.
