The DHS680 is Makita's first brushless circular saw, which becomes one of the latest member of Makita's impressive line up of 18v Lithium-ion cordless tools. Boasting a brand new brushless motor and some new in-built features, the DHS680 looks set to become one of the most popular cordless circular saws on the market.
Sold as body only. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.
FEATURES

Highly efficient brushless motor, that has several benefits over the non brushed equivalent. Firstly, because their are no brushes within the motor, none of the battery power is wasted on creating the heat and friction that happens when using brushes, so consequently the battery lasts longer (per charge) and the energy created by the battery is far more efficient, allowing your tool to achieve higher capacities, so this saw will be able to cut longer, faster and into tougher materials
Another benefit of the brushless motor is that, because there are no moving/touching parts in the motor there is nothing wearing away at anything else and getting damaged. Your motor is actually going to be kept in far better condition than before
One more impressive new feature is the 'Automatic Speed Control' found on this saw. This feature allows the computer chip built into the saw to determine the most efficient cutting speed for the job that you're doing! It speeds up or reduces the speed of the saw making sure that it only uses the right amount of energy when required - making sure you get the most out of your saw, blade and battery
Another handy new feature is the battery state indicator which uses 3 LED lights to illuminate the amount of battery charge you have left so you'll never be caught without power just when you need it
Soft start for smooth start-up
Tool hanger allows you to hang the saw when not in use
Blower function blows sawdust off cutting line
Larger base than similar models that gives a more stable operation
Electronic current limiter for overload protection
Large lock off lever for ultimate safety
The twin LED job light ensures full visibility of the work piece
The Ergonomic soft grip and overall compact & lightweight design gives the user full control and comfort
Guide rail adaptor available separately 196953-0

“The circular saw i received from you was really awful. i Have never had to send an item back before from all of the tools and websites i have bought from but this was really a sub standard product so i had to send it back. I really needed the tool to start a roofing job i had and the saw i got was terrible, it had lots of movement and play in the base unlike i had ever seen in this type of tool before,even budget versions,making it inaccurate at best and at worst potentially dangerous. On contacting the returns people i was told that this was how the tool was made "with a bit of play in the base"! This is absolute rubbish, i asked to be sent a solid one and the contact said all of your stock were like this and had the same amount of play. The following day i went to a local tool supplier to see if this was how makita were making there tools now and no, the exact same saw and model in the shop had zero play in the base.All of the other carpenters and builders i spoke to said they had never seen it either.The whole process took a couple of weeks to sort out and i didnt have the tool i really needed for the job. All in all i am thoroughly annoyed with the experience and i will never buy a tool through your company again.”

“Used this for the first time and it was so impressive. I was not sure I was cutting the wood it was so effortless. Wonderful saw. And being cordless and light it is a dream to use and setup. I will be ditching my cable saws and using this from now on.”

“My opinion is that the build quality is not as good as the 10 year old first addition that I have. Haven't had a chance to really put it through it's paces so on build quality alone it's a 4 star”
