very good quality
very sturdy and works very well . If you are looking for a small circular saw this is as good as they get. All the controls are solidly made and feel positive . The baseplate is flat and sturdy ,it always cuts straight .
Underpowered
The first time I have knocked a star off a MAKITA product of which I own many. It struggled to cut through even 5mm ply and the blade provided is blunt after just a few ply boards. Gone back to using my wired one
Fantastic saw
Only buy Makita brands
this is my 2nd one my other burned out had it a long time in 2000 now it’s 2023 very happy
Who needs a track saw.
This saw really gets the work done, battery life is great, it powers through timber and there are plenty of 3rd party blades available to suit you needs at lower costs.
I also picked up some foam pads you would use on furniture feet, stuck them along a straight edge and just like that had myself a track saw for a couple of quid extra.
Great bit of kit.
Fabulous time save
Great tool, wish I’d bought one years ago.
Used this for a recent loft boarding project with nice results, made the job much faster and gives a professional finish.
Much better than my previous model, which was a basement model, the DSS611Z bought in a 6-tool pack combi kit that I had for 5 years and only used occasionally for mostly DIY use (not full time or construction site based).
That old one came to a sudden halt whilst cutting through an old chipboard 40mm worktop recently, so this new brushless version was my first choice for a replacement.
Brushless action which means power saving, effortlessly and feels more planted though it is bigger and heavier this is only slightly. I like the LED light and the feel of this new saw.
I only use 5 & 6ah original Makita batteries which are between 2 & 5 years old. None have over 150 – 200 charges. I have the Makita BTC 04 battery checker tester for monitoring all of my Makita batteries.
The only gripe for me is that I’m not a first fix/carcassing contractor (DIY’er) so the rafter hook is un-necessary for me, I wished it could be removed, which it probably can but for now I can live with it.
Cuts like a knife through timber and even has a good dust extraction outlet when attached to my DVC750LZ.
Has the option to attach 2 fences to it, front and back of the base, though I have not tried this method yet.
I enjoy looking forward to using this saw and hopefully it’ll last me a lot longer than my old one.
This is also registered under the 3 year Makita warranty scheme.
