The Makita 6-1/2 Plunge Cut Circular Saw and 55 Guide Rail (model SP6000J1) work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out. The saw combines a powerful 12 AMP motor and a large cutting capacity with magnesium components for less weight, and electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load for smooth cutting and a splinter-free mirror finish. The SP6000J1 is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications, and it is ideal for use on the jobsite or in a workshop.

The SP6000J1 saw has a bevel capability of -1 to 48 with positive stops at 22.5 and 45. It delivers precise cutting, as the position of the blade enters the material on the same cutting line whether cutting straight or bevel. In addition, the saw has close-to-wall cutting (11/16″) for expanded cutting applications. The built-in depth stop allows a preliminary cut of 1/16″ to be performed before the entire material is cut through for clean and splinter-free cutting.

The SP6000J1 has a powerful 12 AMP motor with soft start for smooth start-ups, and Electronic Speed Control to maintain a constant speed under load for smooth cutting. The variable speed dial control (2,000 5,200 RPM) allows the user to set the speed for optimum performance in a variety of materials. The built-in torque limiter helps prevent motor burnout.

Convenient features include a large top handle, an electric brake, and a lock-lever that attaches the saw to the rail system so that the saw stays on the aluminum rail when positioned for a bevel cut. The smooth and convenient plunge release lever is designed for operator comfort, and the depth adjustment features a large scale that is easy to set.

Use the SP6000J1 to cut sheet material, finish and trim work, and remodeling projects. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, finish carpenters, stair and flooring installers, woodworkers, and general contractors.

Every Makita product carries a 1-year warranty unless otherwise stated. (Some products have a longer warranty, i.e. Lithium-Ion Tools, Batteries & Chargers include a 3-year warranty, etc.)
