Makita XGT SP001GZ03, 40 V, 165 mm Plunge Circular Saw

The Makita XGT 40 V Cordless Plunge Circular Saw SP001GZ03, Body Only is a battery-powered tool engineered for controlled plunge cuts in wood, MDF, and laminate. It runs on the 40 V Makita XGT lithium-ion battery platform. The saw delivers a maximum cutting depth of 56 mm at 90° and 40 mm at 45°. A brushless motor drives a 165 mm blade, with variable no-load speeds from 2,500 to 4,900 RPM. This adjustable speed range lets the user match the cutting rate to the material and application.

Weighing 4,400 g and measuring 375 mm in overall length, the plunge saw feels balanced during operation. Bevel adjustment allows for angled cuts up to 48°, broadening the range of joinery applications. A soft-start function reduces initial torque, while kickback protection and a spindle lock improve operational safety and simplify blade changes. The integrated dust extraction port helps keep the workspace cleaner. This body-only configuration is supplied without a battery or charger and requires existing Makita XGT components. A three-year warranty covers the tool.
