The Makita DSP601ZU Plunge Cut Saw is a high-precision cordless cutting solution designed for professional carpentry, cabinetry, and interior finishing. Powered by two 18V LXT batteries (36V performance), it delivers powerful, smooth, and controlled cutting without the limitations of a power cord.
Featuring a brushless motor, the DSP601ZU offers improved efficiency, longer runtime, and reduced maintenance. The plunge mechanism allows the blade to be lowered smoothly into the material, making it ideal for precise cuts in panels, worktops, doors, and sheet materials. With fine depth adjustment and excellent rail compatibility, users can achieve clean, accurate results every time.
The saw includes soft start, electric brake, and variable speed control to ensure maximum safety and control during operation. Its compact, balanced design reduces fatigue during extended use. The DSP601ZU version is supplied as a bare tool, making it ideal for users who already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers.
