One thing that is completely new to me is the inclusion of the strong foldaway bent steel hook on the body. I didn’t use it at all because I am mostly based at ground level. At first I viewed the hook with some skepticism, but after I tried it in various set ups I realized that it could be useful for some trades, especially those working at height in a loft conversion for example. If it really got in the way it is possible to remove it, so no harm done. Or get a Makita model without the hook. If any person has any knowledge about professional working tools, they would tell you how Makita leads the market when it comes to professional working tools, especially saws. The Makita HS7601J/2 is a powerful circular saw which comes with a 240V battery and a blade length of 190mm, which is the best on its own. The saw actually feels a bit too light when you’re making 45° bevel cuts. Doing them freehand takes a bit more practice as it doesn’t sit quite as firmly as the heavier saws I’ve tested out. This is where having a saw guide really helps. You’re also quite limited for depth as the blade only drops down to 41 mm at 45°.

Makita DSS501Z circular saw is one of the best circular saws that you can find in today’s market. Moreover, it is also included in the top tier in Makita’s list.

The Makita DRS780Z brushless circular saw is the top circular saw available in the market at the moment. It comes with an electric brake which is an added safety feature for the users.

I then moved on to something quite literally a bit harder. Some dry English oak I milled up a couple of years ago. I made several of the same 0° cross cuts to test the saw This and motor a bit more.The DHS680 is Makita's first brushless circular saw, which becomes one of the latest member of Makita's impressive line up of 18v Lithium-ion cordless tools. Boasting a brand new brushless motor and some new in-built features, the DHS680 looks set to become one of the most popular cordless circular saws on the market. Comes supplied body only in a MAKPAC type 3 carry case with inlay.

If I was going to buy a cordless saw for working away from the national grid or up a ladder, this would be it. To make things easier if you’re working in low light conditions, the saw comes with a pair of bright LED lights. They switch on when you’ve pressed in the safety switch and lightly touch the trigger. It’s handy that you can switch the lights on without running the saw blade, it should make lining up cuts a bit easier.The DHS680Z is a cordless circular saw with a high-efficiency brushless motor that delivers up to 680 watts of maximum output at 5,000 rpm when driven by an 18V Li-ion battery. 5000 rpm is a massive rotational speed that will provide you with the best-finished cuts. Wow! It’s probably thanks to the fantastic Efficut blade and the tiny 1.4 mm kerf that means this saw leaves the most wonderfully clean cuts I’ve ever seen from a circular saw. So long as you let the blade over run the timber slightly, the finish is superb with just the tiniest tufts of wood fibre left on the end of the timber. The first task was the most common one. Cross cutting through nice and dry CLS timber. In this case it was 37 mm deep and 135 mm wide. The first cuts were straight across at 0° bevel, then the same at 45°. The 18 V battery has enough power to deal with the precise cuts of up to 57 mm at zero degrees. Simply keep the blade straight in the cut without applying any pressure or force on the tool. The high 5,000 rpm speed delivers extremely smooth cuts without friction. Efficient Sawdust Collection Makita is one of the most well-known manufacturers of professional power tools. With a powerful 1,200 watt motor that can provide up to 5,200 rpm, the HS7601J Circular Saw is compact and lightweight.

Hiiliharjaton moottori on tehokkaampi ja kuluttaa vähemmän virtaa kuin tavallinen hiiliharjallinen moottori, minkä ansiosta yhdellä akun latauksella voi työskennellä pidempään. Lisäksi hiiliharjaton moottori on pienempi ja kevyempi, joten työkalun käsittely sujuu mukavasti ja vaivattomasti. The DRS780Z Circular Saw is powered by two 18V Li-ion LXT slide-type batteries, which provide power to the 36V brushless motor, which delivers up to 5,100 rpm and 1,700 watts of peak power. And seeing as the motor is on the right, you can use a roofing square or other set square to chop a parallel crosscut in no time at all. If you’re ganging up work, it saves a noticeable amount of time. Another benefit of the brushless motor is that, because there are no moving/touching parts in the motor there is nothing wearing away at anything else and getting damaged. Your motor is actually going to be kept in far better condition than beforeThis Makita also boasts an automatic speed function that regulates the blade speed according to load and the little blower aimed at the kerf near the built-in LED light helps clear the cut line. Another couple of nice touches. DHS680Z -akkupyörösahan maksimisahaussyvyys on 57 mm.
