Key Features & Benefits
- 66 mm Cut Depth at 90° — handles 90 × 45 mm framing timber in a single pass, with capacity for thicker stock and LVL beams.
- 36V (18V×2) Brushless Motor at 6,000 RPM — two 18V batteries deliver corded-class cutting speed without a separate battery platform or generator.
- 56° Bevel Capacity — goes beyond standard 45° for compound mitre cuts on rafters, hip beams, and complex roof framing.
- Soft Start — gradual blade acceleration for controlled, safe startup without sudden kickback.
- Electric Brake — stops the blade quickly after releasing the trigger, improving safety and workflow.
- Dual 18V Battery System — uses the same LXT batteries as your other Makita tools — no separate charger or platform needed.
When to Use This Circular Saw
The DHS780Z is Makita’s answer for framers and site carpenters who need a full-size circular saw without the cord. The 185 mm blade and 66 mm cut depth handle the same timber sections as a corded 185 mm saw, and the 6,000 RPM brushless motor cuts at comparable speed. The dual-battery 36V system means you do not need to invest in a separate battery platform — use your existing LXT 18V packs. For lighter cutting tasks where 57 mm depth is sufficient, the single-battery DHS680Z is more compact and lighter.
