Makita's LS001GZ rechargeable slide circular saw brings high-speed corded performance to a cordless 40Vmax setup. Makita is known worldwide for powering tough job sites with reliable cordless tools, and this slide saw pushes that reputation further: it cuts roughly 2.3 times faster than a comparable Makita AC machine when making 45° inclined cuts. A brushless motor with constant rotation control keeps things running at 4,200 rpm, delivering clean, consistent cuts without tethering you to a wall outlet.
Engineered for precision, the saw features two heavy duty linear ball bearings, a thick 25mm slide pole, and a 10mm guide fence for added rigidity. Its forward sliding mechanism lets the saw sit flush against a wall while keeping working depth to a compact 495mm. To help you stay on line, it's equipped with an ink line laser, a bright LED light, a fine-tuning turn base, and a tilt adjustment system with a 45° + 1° setting that's handy for baseboard cuts.
This 10.3 kg saw (weight includes the BL4025 battery) comes with a premium white Shark Skin chip saw (165mm outer diameter), a dust bag, triangular ruler, tilt vise, mini subfence, and hex wrenches. At a zero-degree angle, it handles maximum cutting dimensions of 46 x 182mm. The unit also supports wireless tool connection; the 40Vmax slide battery, charger, and wireless unit are sold separately.
