THE Makita HS301DZ circular saw is one of the best inline for circular saws available in the Makita line. It Is a 12 V battery powered circular saw, producing enough power to cut through stubborn materials. Its 85mm blade may sound like a trim blade, but it actually gets the job done.

Makita is one of the leading brands in the market, manufacturing professional power tools. When it comes to saws, Makita makes the best of them. The Makita 5008MGJ/2 circular saw is known for its power and its finished results. Its powerful 1800 watt battery is on the next level hence providing the best cutting experience. The cable protector, the rubber boot sleeve that comes out of the body of the saw, isn’t quite long enough. It doesn’t really help to stop the cable from crimping close to the saw, which could shorten its useful working life. Evolution have carved out a good name for themselves in the DIY sphere. Their blades are well-liked as the average user doesn’t want to swap them out each time they need to cut different materials. This saw does well at the basic jobs of crosscutting timber and can cut a serious size bit of wood as well. As mentioned above, there are many kinds of saws available in the market. However, when it comes to circular saws- Makita circular saws lead the chart. They make the best quality circular saws that satisfy the buyers. The Makita DHS680Z comes with an automatic speed control feature which turns out to be a great help. It also prolongs the battery life. The cutting speed automatically changes depending upon the load.

There were also quite a few marks and scratches on both the bevel adjustment and depth gauge, straight from the box. This doesn’t mean that all Evolution saws are going to have these faults, but there’s an obvious quality control issue somewhere. Again, I suspect it’s down to the blade. The teeth are relatively small, and if they’re designed to work on multiple materials then they might not be fine-tuned for optimum cutting timber. I suspect that the multi-material blade is a good all-rounder but not ideal for any particular job.

The lightweight design of the Makita HS301DZ makes it super easy for its users to manoeuvre the circular saw. Many regular circular saw users complain about the weight other circular saws have, making it challenging to use the saws for a longer time, unlike Makita HS301DZ. The DHS680Z is a cordless circular saw with a high-efficiency brushless motor that delivers up to 680 watts of maximum output at 5,000 rpm when driven by an 18V Li-ion battery. 5000 rpm is a massive rotational speed that will provide you with the best-finished cuts.
