The Makita 6-1/2 in. Plunge Cut Circular Saw delivers precise and accurate cutting, even close to the wall (11/16 in.) and a splinter-free, mirror finish. Driven by a powerful 12 Amp motor, it has soft start for smooth start-ups and a plunge release lever for comfort. Ergonomically designed, rubberized handles also add to the comfort and give you more control of the saw, too. A large (1-7/16 in.), rear dust port directs debris away from you and easily connects to a vacuum.
