Powerful and convenient! The ergonomic and compact design of the Makita XSH06PT circular saw. Its brushless motor and its small size work together to give up to 6,000 RPM and a great power-to-weight ratio. The saw is equipped with the Automatic Speed Change technology, which optimizes cutting performance by adjusting cutting speed and torque under load. On run-time tests, the saw can make up to 610 cross-cuts per charge in a 2 x 4 SPF timber using two 5.0Ah batteries, thanks to its effective brushless motor, which is electronically controlled to deliver up to 50% longer run time than non-brushless motors.The XSH06PT has a 3-stage LED gauge, an electric brake, a built-in tether notch (tether supplied separately), and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for better dust and water resistance in challenging job site conditions are additional convenience features. The rear dust port is simply connected to a vacuum system for enhanced dust extraction.
