Makita, HS301DZ, 12 V, 85 mm Circular saw

The Makita HS301DZ 12V CXT Cordless Circular Saw Body Only is a compact power tool designed for light-duty woodworking and installation tasks. It runs on a 12 V Li-ion battery system and delivers a maximum cutting depth of 25.5 mm at 90°. This makes it suitable for cutting wood, MDF, and plywood. Its cordless design allows free movement around a site without trailing cables. A battery and charger are not supplied, so the user will need compatible Makita 12 V CXT components already on hand.

Weighing 1,600 g, the saw measures 313 mm in overall length for easier handling in confined spaces. An ergonomic handle with a rubberised soft grip provides a secure hold during operation. The base plate offers bevel adjustment for angled cuts. Visibility at the cut line is maintained by an integrated dust blower. A dust extraction port connects to a compatible vacuum for a cleaner workshop.
