Makita SP6000J2 Plunge Cut Saw 165mm inc 2x Guide Rails, Single Joining Bar & Makpac Carry Case
The Makita 165mm Plunge Cut Circular Saw and 1.5m (59”) Guide Rails 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 SP6000J2 is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications, and it is ideal for use on the jobsite or in a workshop.
Precision Settings and Features for Quality Cuts
The SP6000J2 saw has a bevel capability of -1° to 48° with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. 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 (18mm) for expanded cutting applications. The built-in depth stop allows a preliminary cut of 2mm to be performed before the entire material is cut through for clean and splinter-free cutting.
12 AMP Direct-Drive Power for Smooth Cutting
The SP6000J2 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, with an electric brake for added productivity.
Precision Cuts and Ease of Use
The saw includes a range of convenient features, including a large top handle, an electric brake for more productivity, as well as a lock-lever that attaches the saw to the rail system so the saw stays on the anodised aluminium 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 SP6000J2 is engineered for cutting sheet material, finish work, trim work, and remodelling. 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 165mm Plunge Circular Saw.

The saw itself is good but the delivery service that was provided was terrible. The rails came very bent and the Mak box was smashed. The customer services were awful, they didn’t care to help at all. I will not be using this company again.

I'm really pleased with this saw and guide rails. I was fed up with making inaccurate cuts with a heavy circular saw or by hand. I've had to cut some floorboards lengthways and I was wasting wood, so I researched the plunge saws on the market and went for the Makita. It was good choice! The guide rails ensure the cut is straight and the rubber edging does away with splinters, making the cut so smooth it doesn't need sanding. You can make incredibly thin long cuts quite easily. The saw does glide easily along the rails and, if you attach it to a vacuum extractor, there's hardly any dust at all. I haven't tried a bevel cut yet or used it as a plunge saw, but the depth does adjust easily and accurately. All in all it's a really great saw and is inspiring me to attempt more challenging carpentry work!
