Our Review

The Makita HS7611J/2 Circular Saw is a high performance tool which cuts smoothly and can easily be adjusted. It achieves a high maximum cutting capacity of 65mm at 0 degrees and 45mm at 45 degrees. A single-action lever lets you easily adjust the cutting depth. We like the fact that the saw has a powerful 1600W motor which delivers excellent performance, even when the saw blade is under load.
