Makita Circular Saw DSS611 Review - Unboxing - 18v - Li-Ion - LXT - Cordless 

Glad to see you back. I have the same saw at least as near as I can tell though mine is 6+ years old and was part of a kit containing a drill and flash light. Perfect for my needs and doesn't see the light of day for months on end. The drill, however, is out an handy as I use it frequently. I bit the bullet and bought 2 Li batteries to replace the originals and never looked back!

Yay! You're back! Been looking at cordless saws, and you are correct about batteries and brand loyality.

Good to see you back with another video! Thanks for the run through of the Makita saw, looks like a nice saw and typically good Makita (I'm also a fan of the kit) and made short work of the old door. Interesting that the saw has the blade on the left hand of the machine and meaning that if your right handed you have the blade much closer to your body and in the path of the saw dust than if the blade was on the right but obviously depending on the situation it can be an advantage. Having a quick look online seems that most of the big brands offer right and left handed options in their ranges - not something I'd noticed before. Thanks again and hope to see another video soon! Cheers

Love your review and attitude towards being a hobbiest.. I had one of these saws in the past and loved it. The plastic guard never broke even under pieces getting jammed in there from time to time. The base is better designed on this model than the brushless variant though brushless tools are desired. I never had to change carbon brushes in years of operation. Very good saw.

convinced me, off to the shops I go!

Hello Mr I'm watching your videos from Finland. Thanks for sharing plan to my own cabinet soon. 🇫🇮👌

Good idea to save any wood of the old door! Before I thought he wanted to cut too nearly the glass, pls don't do that, but no he did it))

fabulous video! exactly what I needed.

Thanks very much. Very helpful. I have ordered one.

Top review! Clear and thorough. You certainly put that wee rip snorter through its paces with that 35 mm door. I've seen this saw for as little as 90 quid - quite a bit cheaper than its brushless counterpart - and I was not sure which one to go for. Judging by your demo, being older, brushed technology doesn't seem to mean less potent - maybe just shorter battery life. Thanks for taking the time to post this very helpful review. 👍

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to post this great review! I will get this Saw based on your awesome efforts! Have an awesome day buddy!

convinced me to order one soon. Great video

Thanks nice relaxed demo

Thanks for the content mate, I'm going to collect one of these from Screwfix tomorrow 🙂

Great video

nice video, very useful!

Great review thanks! How has it held up over the last year?

Thanks for the video seems like a good saw. Certainly worth keeping in mind if I need one!!😎🐓🐓🇬🇧

GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT DOES IT HAVE TWIN LED LIGHTS ON WOULD YOU SAY ITS BETTER THAN THE MILWAUKEE

Thanks for the review. Looks good, just wondering how it's going a few months in? Cheers Tim

I recently bought this circular saw and your video was just what I wanted to help me be sure I knew what I was doing. Thank you for taking the time to run through this review and test runs. One thing I couldn't work out was what the black slider is on the main body behind where the fence goes in. It slides towards the front and back but it's not clear what does. Can anyone tell me what it's for?

I've got mine same one brand new but doesn't cut like yours doesn't go nonstop to the end

Just bough one £92 brand new off ebay
