Makita DSS501Z 18V Li-Ion LXT 136mm Circular Saw - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

The lightweight design of the Makita HS301DZ makes it super easy for its users to manoeuvre the circular saw. Many regular circular saw users complain about the weight other circular saws have, making it challenging to use the saws for a longer time, unlike Makita HS301DZ. The DSS501RTJ is supplied with 2x BL1850B 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, a fast DC18RC charger and Makpac type 3 carry case with inlay tray.

If you want to take the effort out of making precise cuts along straight lines, you will be glad to find CutControl functionality as a standard with this saw. A built-in vacuum cleaner adapter is also included, allowing you to keep on top of dust extraction. In addition to the circular saw base unit itself, a circular saw blade and rip fence are included. ProsThe cut depth scale on the 5008MGJ/2 is easy to see, with the most commonly used two numbers, 13mm and 19mm, stamped on in more significant proportions. The huge lever can be used to make a one-handed adjustment. The HS7601J features a new aesthetic design, an aluminium base plate, an aluminium die-cast safety cover for more outstanding durability, and a single action lever for easy cutting depth adjustment. The larger handle also means you can maintain a very firm grip when working. Other useful features include the dust extraction adapter, which will help you keep your environments clean of dust and sawing debris. The LED job light also ensures optimal illumination of your cutting areas. If you only need to make long and straight cuts, a circular saw is a better choice of power tool. However, if you want to produce more curved cuts and intricate cut-out shapes with sheet materials, a jig saw is a better investment. What should I look for when buying a circular saw?

With a cutting depth capacity of 41 millimetres, it is fairly standard when compared to other saw models in our shortlist. Pros Basic circular saws should provide speeds of around 3,500 RPM, while more advanced models will deliver speeds in excess of 6,000 RPM. This saw also features a highly visible battery indicator, meaning you will not be surprised by flat battery levels in the middle of a cutting job. A battery and charger are included along with the saw body, saving you having to shell out for additional accessories. Any good circular saw should be able to deliver impressive cutting capacity. When choosing a suitable model, determine the maximum cutting depth to see if it will cope with the kind of cutting tasks you have in mind.

However, bear in mind that maximum cutting depths will only illustrate what you can manage when cutting straight lines. If you want to make bevel cuts, you will almost always be limited to a shallower cutting depth.

Powerful 360W maximum output, yet still with the extra-lightweight and compact design achieved by using Lithium-ion battery as power unit The Makita DSS610Z is a good choice for those looking to replace a corded circular saw with a battery-operated model. This circular saw makes full use of an 18 volt battery, with long battery life performance that ensures much of the same functionality as a corded saw model. Many circular saw models will already come with blades attached, although they may not be the best saw solution for your individual cutting needs. Carbide blades are the universal standard, producing superior cutting results, regardless of what type of material you are handling. They also tend to produce faster cuts than blades made from other alloys.However, you should consider more comprehensive dust extraction when choosing a circular saw. An adapter for attaching a vacuum hose is therefore a good idea. The bright LED job light also means your blade edge and materials are fully illuminated, allowing you to achieve maximum precision as you work your way along the cutting line. You also have bevel cutting capacity here, while the dust blower feature means cutting lines are consistently kept clean.
