The Makita DHS680Z 18V Li-Ion LXT 165mm Brushless Circular Saw is a professional-grade power tool designed for high-precision cutting, maximum performance, and all-day comfort. Engineered with Makita’s state-of-the-art brushless motor and powered by the trusted 18V LXT lithium-ion battery platform, this circular saw offers efficiency and control for every type of cutting task.
At Topcordlesspowertools, we are proud to offer this cordless circular saw as part of our premium selection for tradespeople, DIYers, and woodworkers who demand reliability, accuracy, and power in one compact package.
Experience Brushless Power Like Never Before
The Makita DHS680Z comes equipped with an advanced brushless motor, which intelligently regulates power output for enhanced efficiency. Since there are no brushes to wear out, the motor runs cooler and lasts longer, reducing maintenance and extending the tool’s overall life.
More importantly, this motor delivers high torque and faster cutting speeds, making it ideal for ripping through hardwood, plywood, and even dense composite materials. In fact, it delivers up to 5,000 RPM for rapid and clean cuts every time.
Cordless Freedom with 18V LXT Technology
The tool is part of the Makita LXT 18V platform, which is renowned for fast-charging, long-lasting lithium-ion batteries. You can use any compatible 18V LXT battery with this unit, giving you the flexibility to switch between tools without carrying multiple chargers or packs.
Thanks to its cordless operation, the DHS680Z offers unmatched freedom of movement, allowing you to cut materials on the job site without worrying about cable placement, extension leads, or power access.
Compact and Lightweight for Superior Handling
Despite its high output, the DHS680Z is remarkably compact and weighs just 3.3 kg with battery (battery sold separately). Its lightweight design helps reduce operator fatigue, especially during overhead or repetitive cuts.
The slimline ergonomic handle with rubberized grip ensures greater control and comfort, allowing you to focus on your work rather than battling tool weight or vibrations.
Electronic Brake and Safety Features for User Confidence
Safety is a major concern in any cutting task. That’s why the Makita DHS680Z is fitted with a rapid electronic blade brake, which stops the blade almost instantly when the trigger is released. This greatly reduces the risk of accidents and boosts jobsite safety.
Additionally, the soft start function minimizes start-up shock, and the electric current limiter protects the motor from overloading, enhancing both user and tool protection.
Automatic Speed Control for Smarter Cuts
What truly sets this circular saw apart is its automatic speed control technology. The onboard electronics sense the material density and adjust torque and speed accordingly, giving you optimal performance with minimal effort.
Whether you’re cutting through solid oak or thin sheet goods, this saw delivers clean and precise cuts without bogging down.
Built-in LED and Dust Blower for Visibility
A dual LED work light illuminates your cut line, ensuring visibility even in low-light conditions. This allows for more accurate cuts, especially when following marked guidelines or templates.
The integrated dust blower keeps the cut line free of sawdust, enhancing precision and reducing the need to stop and clear the area. Combined, these features make your workflow faster and more productive.
165mm Blade with Bevel Cutting Capabilities
The saw uses a 165mm blade with a 20mm bore, offering a cutting depth of 57mm at 90° and 41mm at 45°. These specs provide excellent versatility for crosscuts, rip cuts, and bevel cuts in various materials.
The bevel range up to 50° allows for angled cuts, making it ideal for framing, roofing, decking, and trim work. With the positive stop at 45°, adjusting for common bevel angles is quick and accurate.
