Makita DSP601ZJU 36V (18V x 2) Li-Ion Cordless Brushless AWS Plunge Cut Circular Saw – Skin Only

Cordless freedom. Corded power. Site ready.
The Makita DSP601ZJU is the plunge saw that redefines cordless cutting. Powered by two 18V LXT batteries (36V total), it delivers performance that rivals corded models – without the tangle, the trip hazards, or the downtime. With a max 6,300rpm and a 56mm cutting depth, this saw slices through hardwood, MDF, and sheet goods with surgical precision.

What sets it apart? The AWS Auto-Start Wireless System. Sync your saw via Bluetooth to a compatible dust extractor and the vacuum fires up automatically when you pull the trigger – giving you cleaner, safer cuts every time. Add in Automatic Torque Drive, a compact 346mm body, and soft start with electric brake, and you’ve got the ultimate cordless plunge saw for professionals who won’t settle for second best.

At Cornwells Mitre 10, we back this saw as the must-have tool for cabinet makers, shopfitters, and tradies who want precision, power, and efficiency all in one package.
