Description
The Makita DRS780 is a professional-grade 185mm cordless circular saw powered by twin 18V LXT batteries, delivering 36V performance for demanding cutting applications. This brushless motor saw is engineered for tradespeople who require the power of a corded tool with the flexibility of cordless operation, making it ideal for site work, timber framing, and construction projects where portability is essential. The brushless motor technology ensures extended runtime and reduced maintenance, while the Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) intelligently adjusts cutting speed based on load conditions for optimal performance. With a maximum output of 1,700W and no-load speed of 5,100rpm, this saw delivers impressive cutting capacity—up to 65mm at 90 degrees and 45mm at 45 degrees—suitable for cutting through joists, studwork, and sheet materials efficiently. Built for demanding jobsite conditions, the DRS780 features a lightweight magnesium base for durability without unnecessary weight, and a rubberised rear handle design that provides firm control during operation. The soft start function reduces kickback on startup, while the electric brake stops the blade quickly for improved safety and productivity. A retractable joist hook allows convenient storage between cuts, and the integrated battery fuel gauge keeps you informed of remaining runtime. Please note this is a body only unit and does not include batteries, charger, or carry case—ideal for users already invested in the Makita LXT system.
