Makita HS0600 10‑1/4 Inch Circular Saw – Cuts 4x Lumber in One Pass

Are you a circular saw user and want to cut 4x lumber (4×4’s, 4×6’s) in one pass? Makita just announced a solution for you with their Makita HS0600 10‑1/4 Inch Circular Saw.

The Makita HS0600 Circular Saw uses a larger 10-1/4 inch blade that gives the saw a cut capacity of  3-13/16″ at 90° which makes it able to cut 4x lumber in one pass easily.

At over twice the size of a standard 7-1/4″ circular saw, it looks super heavy but at only 15.2 lbs it’s pretty light for how big it looks making it about as heavy as a 7-1/4″ wormdrive circular saw.

As far as other features go, it has magnesium die cast blade case and upper and lower blade guards, and aluminum base for durability and less weight. It has a large oversized secondary front handle that looks like they pulled it from their grinders (a good thing). The motor is flat on the end which makes it stable when placed on it’s side for easy blade changes.
