Overview
The Makita 2414NB is a corded electric 14-inch metal-cutting saw operating at 115 volts with a no-load speed of 3800 RPM. The 14-inch high speed steel blade capacity is standard for chop saws used in cutting pipe, angle iron, rebar, and structural steel. At $290.00, it sits at the top of the reviewed metal-cutting saw range by price.
With 262 verified owner reviews and a 4.1-star rating, the 2414NB has an established track record among real buyers. The review count, while moderate, confirms meaningful real-world use across trade and construction applications. The motor power figure in the available product data should be verified against the current Makita spec sheet, as the unit value listed is not accompanied by specified units.
No recent monthly sales are recorded in the current tracking data, which contrasts with the ongoing demand seen for the DEWALT D28715 and PORTER-CABLE PCE700 in the same category. Buyers choosing between this saw and those alternatives should weigh the Makita brand value against the price premium and the competitors' stronger review counts.
