Makita HS7601K
 | Outdated Product Ergonomic and relatively light portable circular saw for straight cuts in hard materials. It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, intended for active professional use. It has a standard transverse arrangement of a collector motor, which is capable of developing power up to 1200 watts. This drive spins the tool up to 5200 rpm and provides a decent level of cutting performance. The torque and speed of rotation is quite enough for sawing wood of any kind, plywood, fiberboard and chipboard, sandwich panels, chipboard, laminate, thermoplastic polymers and aluminium alloys. Designed for discs with a diameter of 190 mm with a mounting hole of 30 mm. The Makita HS7601K Hand Held Circular Saw is equipped with a rigid die-cast aluminium soleplate, thanks to which the total weight...of the tool is only 4 kg. Such a mass does not overload the operator's hands, preserving his strength for long-term fruitful work. The motor is reliably protected from dust and equipped with a durable support bearing. The maximum depth of cut is 66 mm for normal cutting. When working at an angle of 45°, the depth is reduced to 46 mm. The saw is equipped with a high-quality 2.5-metre double-insulated electric cable. Complete with saw blade 190x30 12T (12 teeth), rip fence, attachment for connecting a vacuum cleaner and branded case. |

Model overview based on user reviews
The Makita HS7601 circular saw is highly praised for its lightweight design and powerful performance, making it a top choice for both hobbyists and semi-professional carpenters. Users appreciate its comfortable handling and well-balanced structure, with rubberized grips enhancing user comfort. The saw's quality construction, including a cast base and flexible power cord, reflects its reputable brand. However, some users note the lack of a cutting depth scale in centimeters and suggest upgrading the blade for finer cuts, as the included 12-tooth blade is better suited for rough cutting. Overall, the Makita HS7601 is considered a high-quality tool that delivers excellent results, especially when paired with additional blades for specific tasks.

My passion for carpentry, which has grown into semi-professional furniture making, began a long time ago. My grandfather was a carpenter. So, now this is my second profession and simultaneously a hobby. I bought this saw primarily for cutting chipboard. It's damn nice to hold a really good tool in your hands. You can immediately feel the class; this isn't just another Chinese no-name brand, it's a top-tier manufacturer. The saw is light, only 4 kilograms, yet it has plenty of power. Cutting even thick chipboard barely affects the rotation speed; the sound changes, sure, but the cutting speed doesn't drop. Everything about it is designed to be comfortable and convenient to use. It's well-balanced, with mandatory rubberized grips where your hands hold it. All the controls and adjustments are convenient and spot-on. The power cord isn't particularly long, just 2 meters, but it's very flexible and springy. This is something you only find in branded equipment. The quality cast base also commands respect; a lot depends on it, and it doesn't let you down. The 12-tooth set blade is only good for rough cutting. I tested it on chipboard scraps, of course, but the results were disappointing. The back side is clean, but the front has numerous chips. I bought a 54-tooth blade, and as they say, it did the job. However, to completely avoid chipping, you still need to cut in two passes. So, for finer work, you need to look for something with more teeth and, if possible, carbide-tipped. |
I decided to buy my own personal saw, I hadn’t used someone else’s saw very much before, it was Bosch, I was thinking about buying a Bosch too, but I was smart enough to go to the store and try out all the possible saws there, and Bosch and China are all different, but nothing slipped into my mind so well hand like Makita, in general I really liked this model, how it fits in the hand and the weight distribution. Working with this saw is a pleasure; the power is really enough to cut boards both crosswise and lengthwise. I am very pleased with this purchase, especially since I was lucky and included 2 discs, at a minimum price Lightweight, comfortable, high quality There is no scale in cm of cutting depth use Makita HS7601 less than month |
