Makita DHS680Z 18V Cordless Brushless Circular Saw Naked Body Only, Blue, 165 mm

Product Information

Equipped with a built-in computer chip, the automatic speed control feature of the saw determines the most efficient wood cutting speed.

Make sure that you sink any screws, etc about 10mm below the top surface so that you won't wreck a blade on them. One thing that is completely new to me is the inclusion of the strong foldaway bent steel hook on the body. If you're in the market for a cordless circular saw, you may also want to consider the DeWalt DCS577, the Einhell TE-CS 18 Li-Solo or the Bosch GKS 18V-57 G Professional.Toolstop Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 737231). TBH the Evolution rails work with the Makita saws as well - not quite as well finished as the Mak rails, and you can't use them together (unlike the Festool and Makita rails I use for my plunge saws), but they are a lot cheaper. Features include twin LED lights to illuminate the cutting line plus a blower to keep it clear, 3 panel LED battery indicator, tool hanger and rubberised grip for greater control and less vibration.

Dust collection via the optional vac port with a vacuum extractor is very efficient where you have access to mains power for the extractor. The DHS680 boasts high power cutting with automaticspeed control, which changes according to load condition; on light duty - high speed rotation mode, on heavy duty - high torque mode. We used it on rough sawn softwood, hardwood and manmade boards and it was competent and easy – just like a professional tool should be. 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. The Makita DHS680 features a vacuum extractor with an efficient sawdust collection system, which also works via mains power.This 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. You would be a hard one to please if you weren’t impressed with this saw when you took it out of the excellent stackable kitbox. This product carries a full 3 year manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship, it does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables. 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. Frankly I think you'd be better off saving the money (on the guide rail and adaptor) and making yourself a saw guide from MDF and softwood instead, at least for a one-off.

With over 100 years' experience, their products are lauded the world over by professional users for both their performance and quality. 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. There are 2 dust collection ports for maximum efficiency: one located below the blade and the other at the back of the saw. Very happy with the dhs680, corded type performance when ripping 2x treated timber, plus, as a diyer, the convenience and safety of no cord.
