... it is intended to do BUT the price was amazing!
Its a Makita saw what else can I say it does what it is intended to do BUT the price was amazing !
Very handy
Works like a treat. Very comfortable to use and also easy to use. Not too heavy and batteries are interchangeable with my drill so worthwile purchase.
Cordless kit is the future!
Quality saw combined with 5ah Makita battery it does a whole load of work before needing to be charged, supplied blade is good quality for wood of all thickness within reason. Good adjustments on saw and dual action trigger switch is easy to operate.
Makes the job/life easie
Great tool, compliments the rest of my Makita 18v tools
Great price and does as it's supposed to
Can’t fault it. Great price and does as it’s supposed to.
Good saw
For and used by my hubby, he loves Makita stuff, something to do with having the same battery for all gizmos. Anyway, he’s happy so I am too. (and we now have loads of nicely cut wood for the fire!!)

Make sure you get this version with light and brake
Make sure you get this version with light and brake, other cheaper versions don’t have these and you will miss them!
Soooo easy – just pick up and use, no leads to worry about, instant stop as soon as you put it down.
Used daily – love it, don’t use my hand saw at all.
LED Light makes keeping to cut line a doddle – you can see the blade making the cut.
Very powerful, cuts three layers of 18mm chipboard at once with ease.
Straight cuts easy , far superior to using jigsaw even for small cuts.
Happy as a pig
Absolutely delighted with my new saw. Always been a makita man but always corded with the exception of drills. Upgraded my drills recently and have purchased this saw and a cordless vac to suit the battery’s .

I’m a DIYer. This is a real bit of kit, probably good enough for trade use. The blade is so sharp, pleasure to use. Uses quite a lot of battery but just get a spare 18v pack.

This saw works like a beauty, cuts wood beautifully and easy to maintain. Highly recommend this saw to any carpenter or household user to get through job done.

one of the best bits of kit i have ever purchased
Very easy to change cutting depths and nicely weighted. So much better than my old cable saw, which was always getting caught up with the cutting piece, restricting the length of cut before having to stop the saw to adjust the cable.

Saw it & purchased it a real deal. Its a spare for fine cutting instead of changing the blade. Well worth the cost.
Great saw at a great price
Great saw at a great price! This one is the older one and the better one as it has a job light and a brake.
I have found this adequate to all my DIY needs. At under 100 it seems excellent value. Adjustments to angle and depth of blade easy to make and safety features seem sufficient. Have been using frequently for three months and have experienced no problems. I bought batteries and charger elsewhere (Toolden) as they were cheaper. I have two of the lowest capacity battery (2Ah) and have never run out of power.

great tool, versatile and as always the top notch Makita quality
I already own a decent, powerful mains-powered circular saw but, in truth, it’s heavy and a pain to use. Already being invested in the Makita LXT range, this smaller, lighter, handier saw was hard to resist. The quality and features are great and not having to fight a cord or worry about finding a free plug are a bonus. The supplied 24 tooth blade does a decent job of general ripping and cross cutting, but I’ll be picking up something finer for cutting ply. For this price I can find nothing to criticise, but I’ll keep my mains saw for very heavy work, just in case.
Good kit and very pleased. Smooth and sharp blade, small and ideal for one handed operation which is just what I was needing. Exellent Makita quality and so far I am pleased. I am using this with the 5amp battery too so that all works well.

Like a knife through ......
Excellent saw should have bought one years ago.
It won’t replace a designated mains saw but will make it a part time tool.
Really nice saw. Base plate is good and solid and the adjustments work smoothly and lock firmly in place, with the default 90 and 45 not requiring any adjustment out of the box. I was expecting the have to upgrade the supplied blade, but it actually cuts really nicely and leaves a decent enough finish on crosscuts and rip cuts. It goes through 2x6s fine, though you can hear it start to bog down a little when it hits a knot so if you really push it you will be able to find its limits.
It may be that my batteries are a couple of years old now, but it goes through them pretty fast. If you were hoping to get away with one or two batteries to swap between your tools, you might want to buy an extra if you’re going to be using this a lot on a job. An 18V 3Ah battery has 54Wh, so at the full 360W it’ll go through that in 6 1/2 minutes of actual cutting (the same would be true of any similarly specified saw, of course). The 4 or 5Ah batteries would be a sensible choice.

I’m very pleased! It’s very light and comfortable to use!
Add to your other Makita LXT tools, its fantastic.
I bought this as I needed to cut out large pieces of plywood and also some very hardwood timber, it works brilliantly on both, cutting like a knife through butter. This complements the other LXT Makita tools I have bought so batteries can be shared between them. Fantastic circular saw.

Great bit of ki
I love this saw. Light weight and powerful. No more snagging lead holding me back.
Fantastic piece of kit.
I can’t rate this circular saw highly enough. I actually chose this as I have a good few other Makita cordless tools and so obviously have several batteries that fit.
So far it has dealt with everything I have thrown at it, including cutting replacement planks to length for 3 hours of emergency fencing repairs in the pouring rain! Seems to cut through standard planks like a hot knife through butter, effortless – and that’s with the supplied blade too.
Very powerful saw, have used for many fencing and yard work, left on the ground in stables and yards with no problems. It’s very comfortable to use, well balanced and doesn’t seem to eat through the batteries too quickly either. Has a nice self-retracting blade guard and a (removable) guide to help with straight cutting.
Probably one of the best pieces of kit I have bought in ages, now a standard part of my tools.
Good for cutting thinner pieces
Good for cutting thinner pieces, less than 2″ or so and it gets stuck on thicker or long cuts. It is good as an extra saw to supplement electric one.
Another great makita tool
Love this piece of kit, very nice weight , cuts well
A very good produc
First of all, i want to say that the delivery was very quick, it came the next day. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and I have no problems. I love it, it cuts really well and the battery lasts for a long time. I don’t know how it will be in the future but so far it’s very good.
Light and easy to handle
First class saw. Light and easy to handle,and the same quality that you get from all Makita power tools.

cracking piece of ki
as with all makita gear, this is a quality piece of kit. I fell in love with in straight away but unfortunately , it is not designed to balance on roofing laths and when id only had it a short while it fell from a 2 storey house roof onto a concrete path. unbelievably, it did not fly into a thousand pieces and still works even though it suffered damage to the casing and required a new blade.
highly recommend the saw but keep it on a leash up top!
cut anywhere
gorgeous little saw with clean cutting and stamina – works so well for right handed cutting
Splendid little saw.
Makita are following the trend of having ‘naked’ tools which use the same battery. I have a Makita 18v dril which is the best cordless drill I have ever owned and I use the battery for this saw. Cuts like a dream and is so convenient to use. Well worthy of 5 stars..

Love it, great little saw. Only buy Makita tools now.
Positives – very good cut. Good weight and balance. Quality product. Good price.
Negatives – uses a 4.0ah battery from fully charged to flat in about 8-10 pieces of decking!
I thought there was something up with my batteries! But I looked on the forums and apparently this is standard.
More suitable for thin sheet material – ply and thin mdf – than wood.
I’m going back to 110/240v and a long extension lead!
Can't fault this saw
Great saw all ready had lots of makita 18v tools so was not a difficult choice.
Quality Cordless Circular Saw!
Usual Makita quality, purchased for a house renovation project so far been using it to cut kitchen work tops which it does with ease, built in work light a nice touch.

Pleased with saw; so far used to re-floor an entire attic with chipboard. Good straight cuts and such a time saver. Not too heavy to use. I added on a filter bag, as makes a bit of a mess otherwise! If working on your own, clamp boards to a work table for safety. 4 Ah batteries last longer than I expected but advisable to have a spare or two on hand, as much harder on power usage than a drill.
Lightweight and comfortable use
The saw is very portable and with a sharp blade feels just as powerful as my mains saw, just less restrictive.
Great addition. Would recommend this saw

Very good tool. Saves a lot of time. Should have got one along time ago. Good price and quick delivery.
I bought the Makita DSS610Z for use in some house refurbishment project. I’m lucky enough to have a Festool TS-55 circular saw and guide system but needed something for, dare I say, rougher work. Now I’ve used the Makita it’s already paid for itself in the quality and range of jobs I’ve been able to do. For cutting large sheets of ply or MDF nothing quite compares with the Festool, but this little Makita is finding more use in other jobs where being cordless is a huge advantage. The quality of cut is excellent, it’s lightweight and the built-in LED light is very useful. I have no hesitation giving this 5 stars and I’m very glad I bought it!

Really pleased with this item
Really pleased with this item. Particularly glad I went for the cordless model and for someone who has never used a circular saw before it was amazingly easy to handle (so long as everything is set up well beforehand). Indeed I only needed one practice cut and then it was all systems go! Just wish I had acquired one years ago.

Excellent small rip snorte
Bought this because I already owned a combo drill with 2 batteries . I had a mains powered saw , it cost around 50 , but it wasn’t very good. This little thing is really well made and thought out and performs well too.
I used it with a 40T Blade for cutting some polycarbonate sheets for a conservatory , perfect edges.
The service from UKToolMart was 1st class as well.

Perfect for the job compact robust and no annoying trailing electric leads.
This saw is great. Previously I’d used cheap and cheerful wired circular saws, the last I had was 13 new. The guard bounced open and closed, it was really heavy, and didn’t cut remotely in a straight line. It had gotten to the stage where using it was terrifying. I succumbed to the allure of the 18v Makita system and splurged 400 odd quid on this, the 458 drill, the multicutter and the angle grinder. They’re all great but the saw stands out.
It’s so light! Clinically accurate, with the motor on the other side, as a right hander I can put my head right down by the blade and cut almost fractions of a millimetre. It’s also quite quiet, the electric break stopping the spin instantly after releasing the trigger is amazing and inspires confidence at avoiding chopping off fingers etc. The battery life is pretty good I’d say. Like many I suspect, I can’t believe it took me so long to invest in proper tools, every job is now easy, leaving the focus on creativity and fun rather than logistics.
(I use it for d.i.y and design/prototyping bits and bobs)

very good saw and a great back up for a mains
cable free!!!!!
Was impressed from the start early delivery plus what a saw….. its a beast….. amazing battery saw
I bought this to replace my Makita 240v circular saw which died recently. I am a big Makita fan anyway and as I already had a spare 18v battery, it was a natural choice to choose a cordless saw. The saw was a little heavier than I expected but that’s no bad thing in something so potentially lethal and the build quality is well up to the usual Makita standard, i.e. excellent. Every bit as good as a corded model. The handgrip is rubber backed as is the forward grip and they are very comfortable in the hand. The trigger is the usual two stage safety type, push down a spring loaded switch before the main trigger will engage. Interestingly, the LED will light as soon as you press the trigger. I thought the LED light would be a bit of a gimmick but this one is really very thoughtfully placed, it helps you see the cut line very easily indeed. I opted to buy this model over the DSS611z because it has the very handy dust blower and again like the LED, it really does work and very useful it is too. The other feature you get over the 611 is the little toggle which lets you tilt the saw beyond 45 degrees, not a lot of use to me but handy to have I suppose. Height adjustment and angle adjustment are easy with conveniently placed thumb screw in the case of the angle and a lever for height adjustment. Speaking of which, the blade guard is marked with various measurements for easy depth setting and that brings me to the only disappointment with this saw, the plastic blade guard. This is an industrial tool, it will get some abuse so why they decided that plastic was good enough, I cannot fathom.
The saw was delivered on time and was well packed and I have to say I am delighted with it in every way other than the blade guard. I should have gone cordless a lot sooner and if I’d known they were this good, I would have.
Great machine. Makes light work of 1” and 2 ” timber. Very accurate and comfy to use. Feel like the tool is working for you.
Excellent bevel settings, that are easy to read and lock in place.
If your after a tool to batter, your better off with a corded model as the battery life is impressive.. but won’t go ALL day.
Only downside that I can see is that if your left handed the motor may be on the wrong side for you.
I can’t rate it highly enough. Fantastic tool.
I wish i brought one of these years ago, it slices through wood with the greatest of ease, the blades are very thin, and this makes it easier to cut.
battery life is very impressive, the saw cuts through the thickest and knottiest timber with ease.
Would recommend you get one of these.
i needed to practice on scrap wood to get used to it, my mains saw has the motor mounted on the other side to this, and the thin blade means you have to be careful to keep the saw running straight.
Superb tool and very powerful
Excellent piece of ki
I had already been using this saw at work so knew it could do the job. As long as the thin saw blade is fitted and not a ‘non standard’ one then it can handle cutting worktops,fire doors etc.

Fantastic, solid, reliable and cuts like a hot knife.
If you are trying to work out which saw to get between the BSS610, DSS610, BSS611 and DSS611 then get the DSS610. The D series is a re-badge of the B series guaranteeing or enhancing 4ah battery compatibility. The only difference between the 611 and 610 is that the 610 has light and a brake. Hence the DSS610 is the better and newer. I had to phone Makita to get this information.
I have owned the saw for a couple days so far, It cuts 47mm laminated kitchen worktop better than my mains power circular saw, 6×2 joists and sheeting without breaking a sweat. I can not rate this machine enough.
