Product Information

Contacted the seller, first my message was ignored finally got a response and they are refusing to send a battery out which I have paid for! Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). 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. 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.

From the off the tool feels comfortable in the hand with well-designed rubberized grippy areas and with just enough weight to feel substantial, without feeling like a drain on the muscles by the end of the day. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.

A 24 tooth TCT thin kerf blade fitted as standard reduces cutting friction to a minimum and gives maximum battery life. With deep discharge a weak spot of lithium ion, the provision of a “fuel gauge” in the form of a series of lights on the body under the main handle helps the user to monitor the best time to change batteries. One thing that is completely new to me is the inclusion of the strong foldaway bent steel hook on the body. These sealed motors are impervious to dust, use less power and generate less heat, so all the extra energy goes into improved performance. Some manufacturers will offer a direct repair or replacement service (as applicable) which will often resolve your problem more quickly.

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. With over 100 years' experience, their products are lauded the world over by professional users for both their performance and quality. Dust collection via the optional vac port with a vacuum extractor is very efficient where you have access to mains power for the extractor.Larger base than current models for more stable operation Comes With 1 x DHS680Z Brushless Circular Saw 2 x BL1860 6Ah Batteries 1 x DC18RC Charger Product Specifications Barcode 0088381683197 Part No DHS680Z Voltage 18V No Load Speed 5,000rpm Blade Diameter 165mm Bore Size 20mm Power Output 680w Noise Sound Pressure 83dB(A) Noise Sound Power 94dB(A) Noise K factor 3dB(A) Vibration K Factor 1.
