Overview
Makita builds the HS0600 as a big blade circular saw with ball and needle bearings and precision gearing for smooth power transmission. Its magnesium blade case and guard sit over an aluminum base, with auxiliary front and top handles.
Choose it for the large cutting capacity, which the description says handles four by material in a single pass. The limitation is that the motor speed and brushless entries in the data conflict with the corded rating, so rely on the wattage.
Who it's for
A builder who cuts thick stock often and wants the extra depth. The attached blade wrench speeds blade changes. Someone cutting thin sheet goods can use a smaller saw.
Pros and cons
- Large cutting capacity
- Framing blade included
- Rip fence included
- Attached blade wrench
- Motor speed listed unclearly
- Dust port not listed
Performance notes
Cutting depth comes from the large blade, with the figures shown for square and bevel cuts. Gearing and bearings carry power to the blade, and the adjustable top guide helps align the notches with the cut line. Blade sharpness and tooth count decide finish quality.
