The Makita DSP601 Twin 18v (36v) LXT Brushless 165mm (6-1/2”) Plunge Circular Saw delivers precise and more accurate cutting when combined with the Makita guide rail system. The saw and rail system work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out. The saw combines a powerful Makita-built brushless motor powered by two 18 V LXT batteries with Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) Technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimum performance.

The added feature from the DSP600 is that this DSP601 has Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) – which connects to the compatible DVC864LZ Dust Extractor with Bluetooth (sold separately). The dust extractor automatically runs while the switch is on.

The Saw has a variable speed control dial (2,500 – 6,300 RPM), with soft start and an electric brake for added convenience. It has a large 56mm cutting capacity at 0°, with a bevel capability of -1° to 48° and positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. When used with a rail system (sold separately) this Plunge Circular Saw is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications, and is ideal for use on the job site or in a workshop.

Includes 2x BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries and a DC18RC fast charger – all packed in a Makpac type 4 carry case. This kit also comes with 2x 1.5 metre guide rails, a guide rail joining bar, guide rail clamps and guide rail system carry bag + 1x 198900-7 AWS Bluetooth Transmitter Chip WUT01.
