Overview
Running at 13,000 RPM off a 1152 watt corded motor, the Makita 4100NHX1 cuts metal stock up to 8 inches and weighs 5.9 pounds. High speed steel in the spec block points to a metal cutting saw rather than a wood cutting model.
The combination of corded power, high RPM and an 8 inch capacity reads as a metal cutting saw built for jobsite use where a battery tool would run out of runtime. Makita's name on a saw like this typically means it is built for repeated daily use rather than occasional projects.
- 8 inch cutting capacity
- 13,000 RPM motor speed
- 1152 watt, 120 volt corded motor
- 5.9 pound weight
Who it's for
Fits users who need a corded saw for cutting metal stock up to 8 inches and want steady power without battery management. Not the choice for anyone who needs cordless mobility or is cutting wood rather than metal.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Corded power avoids battery runtime limits

- 13,000 RPM motor speed
- Reasonably light at 5.9 pounds
- Requires a power outlet
- No cordless option
Performance notes
The 1152 watt motor spinning at 13,000 RPM drives cutting speed through metal stock, while the corded 120 volt connection means power does not taper off the way it can with a battery under load. At 5.9 pounds it stays maneuverable for handheld use over a work session.
