Makita BSS611
$500.00
Released August, 2006
The Pros:Runs for a long time on a battery charge, generally won't run out before you're done for the day. Built light for easy handling and cuts fast. Provides dead-on accurate cut lines.
The Cons:Lacks a blade brake, need to let it run down on its own for a few seconds. Comes with a 16 tooth blade rather than the 24 tooth that many comparable saws have. Lacks the power of a corded saw, can choke as flexible wood is cut and pinches the blade.
The Makita BSS611 is a compact & lightweight cordless circular trim-saw kit with an ergonomically-designed handle with a soft grip that provides a better fit and even greater control. Weighing 6.9 lbs, the Makita BSS611 circular saw kit is an upgrade from the Makita BSS610.
