Cozy home - The best Makita circular saws

The Makita company produces several models of circular saws, the quality and reliability of which is beyond doubt. All of them are very popular among users. A description of some of them is given below.

Makita GSH05Z

The 40V max XGT® Brushless 6-1/2” Circular Saw (GSH05) provides cordless convenience while taking on high-demand applications. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 5,200 RPM for high-speed cutting performance. The 6-1/2” Circular Saw can deliver up to 290 cuts per charge in 2×10 SPF lumber on a fully charged 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery (sold separately)

The GSH05 features a 2-1/4″ cutting capacity at 90° and 1-5/8″ at 45°, with a 0-50° bevel capacity with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, and 50°. The saw features electric brake for maximum productivity. It features a die-cast magnesium base, blade guard, and blade cover provide a lightweight design; weighs only 7.9 lbs. with 4.0Ah battery

Convenience features include a L.E.D. light with preglow and afterglow illuminates the work area, and a retractable extra wide tool hook that secures the tool when not in use. The GSH05 features a compact and ergonomic design at only 11-3/4″ long without battery (sold separately).

The saw is also equipped with Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which is a series of integrated seals designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.

The GSH05 features the Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS®), which uses Bluetooth® technology for wireless power-on and power-off communication between the equipped tool and dust extractor. Once connected via AWS, the AWS-equipped dust extractor will automatically power on or off when the AWS-equipped cordless tool starts or stops, running only when the tool is in use. This increases productivity on a single charge and reduces continuous noise at the job or work site.
