Makita, DSS610Z, 18 V, 16.5 cm Circular Saw

The Makita DSS610Z 18V LXT Cordless Circular Saw, 165 mm is a battery-powered tool designed for cutting wood and sheet materials in construction, renovation, installation, and general woodworking. It runs on the Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery system. A 165 mm blade with a 20 mm bore delivers a maximum no-load speed of 3,700 RPM. The saw cuts up to 57 mm deep at 90° and 40 mm at 45°, covering standard panel and framing thicknesses in a single pass. Cordless operation suits on-site work where mains power is limited.

Weighing approximately 3,200 g with an overall length of 347 mm, the saw is compact for its category. The base plate offers bevel adjustment up to 50° for angled cuts and mitre joints. A soft-grip handle improves control during extended use, and a spindle lock simplifies blade changes. This is a body-only configuration; the battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately. Vibration when cutting wood is 2.5 m/s², and the tool comes with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
