Read Full Specifications

Get precise, accurate cutting and a splinter-free mirror finish, without the table saw. Makita's SP6000K 6-1/2-Inch Plunge Circular Saw delivers smooth, straight cuts. When you combine it with an optional guide rail system, constructed with anodized aluminum, the saw and rail system 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 SP6000K is a more portable option to a table saw and is ideal for use on the jobsite or in the shop.

lbs.Precision Settings and Features for Quality Cuts The saw has a bevel capability of -1 degree to 48 degrees with positive stops at 22.5 degrees and 45 degrees. The saw 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 capability (11/16 inch) for expanded cutting applications. The built-in depth stop allows a preliminary cut of 1/16 inch to be performed before the entire material is cut, creating clean and splinter-free cutting.12 AMP Direct-Drive Power for Smooth Cutting The SP6000K 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.Precision Cuts and Ease of Use The SP6000K saw includes a range of convenient features, including a large top handle and an electric brake for increased productivity. The saw also features a lock lever that attaches the saw to the rail system, so the saw stays on the rail when positioned for a bevel cut. The smooth and convenient plunge-release lever is designed for operator comfort, and the depth adjustment with large scale is easy to set.Best in Class for a Range of Applications The SP6000K is engineered for cutting sheet material, finish work, trim work, and remodeling. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, finish carpenters, stair installers, flooring installers, woodworkers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class 6-1/2-inch plunge circular saw.
