Makita DSS610Z 18V Li-Ion LXT 165mm Circular Saw - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

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. It will also handle more substantial cutting depths than other circular saws, with the DCS391N-XJ able to cut as deep as 55 millimetres. The blade is also enhanced with an ultra-thin kerf, that makes fast-speed cutting even easier. This is another major factor that should help you determine whether or not a particular circular saw model is right for you. Saws with brushless motors tend to produce faster rotational speeds and faster cutting performance.

Rubberised soft grip which provides comfortable handling and more control but also minimises hand strain If you are noticing that wood material is burning as you cut it with a circular saw, you are probably moving the blade too slowly through the material. You may also need to replace your blade with a sharper one. A duller blade will result in more friction, which will increase the chance of scorching wood as you cut through. Is it better to have a saw blade with more teeth? Depth and bevel adjustments can be made without the need for tools, while the dust port will allow you to keep cutting lines free of sawdust. This not only makes for a safer working environment, but also allows you to focus on achieving a precise cutting result.
