Makita, DSS611Z, 18 V, 165 mm, Cordless circular saw

The Makita DSS611Z 18V LXT 165 mm cordless circular saw is a battery-powered tool designed for framing, decking, and general carpentry. It cuts timber, plywood, and floorboards with a 165 mm TCT blade featuring a 20 mm bore. The saw has a maximum cutting depth of 57 mm at 90° and 40 mm at 45°. It is powered by an 18V lithium-ion battery from the Makita 18V LXT system. The tool is suitable for ripping heavy timber and installing floorboards on site.

Weighing 3,100 g and measuring 347 mm in length, the saw is portable while remaining stable and easy to manoeuvre on site. A rigid aluminium base plate helps ensure accurate cuts across a range of workpieces. This body-only version does not include a battery or charger, so the user must provide compatible Makita 18V LXT batteries. The brushed motor drives the blade without the restriction of a power cord, providing consistent performance for standard woodworking tasks.

• Maximum rotational speed of 3,700 rpm for fast cutting through timber.
• Bevel adjustment of up to 50° for precise angled cuts beyond the standard 45° limit.
• Soft-grip ergonomic handle for improved control and reduced fatigue during extended use.
• Integrated dust extraction port for connection to a vacuum system, helping to keep the work area clear of sawdust.
• Supplied with a rough-cut saw blade, ready for fast initial ripping of timber.
