Outdated Product

Convenient, performant and relatively light hand-held circular saw for sawing wood and other materials of moderate hardness. It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, intended for active professional use. It has a standard layout with a transverse arrangement of a durable collector electric motor that develops power up to 1200 watts. For fast cutting, the saw blade spins up to 5200 rpm. This speed and torque is enough to cut wood of any species, thin and thick plywood, fiberboard and chipboard, sandwich panels, laminated chipboard, laminate, thermoplastic polymers and some aluminium alloys. The Makita HS7601X1 hand saw is designed for blades with a diameter of 190 mm with a bore of 30 mm. Equipped with a die-cast aluminium soleplate, thanks to which the total weight of th...e tool is only 4 kg. This weight does not create an excessively heavy load on the operator's hands, preserving his strength for efficient work. The electric motor is reliably protected from dust and equipped with a durable thrust bearing. The maximum cutting depth is 66 mm when cutting at a 90° angle (at a 45° angle, the depth is reduced to 46 mm). The saw is equipped with a Makita M-force Makita B-31245 saw blade, a parallel stop and a nozzle for connecting a special vacuum cleaner. It is connected to the network with a high-quality 2.5-metre electric cable in double insulation.

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.

High-quality hand-held circular saw

26 April 2017

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.

great model, love it

20 June 2018

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
