The Makita GPS01M1J is a cordless 6-1/2-inch plunge circular saw in Makita's 40V max XGT line, sold as a kit with a 4.0Ah battery and charger. It runs a brushless motor with Automatic Speed Change, a 2,500–4,900 RPM variable-speed dial, soft start, an electric brake and constant speed control, and it bevels from -1° to 48° with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. Cut depth is 2-3/16 inches at 90° and 1-1/2 inches at 48°. It is built for track-guided cutting: paired with an optional guide rail it makes accurate cuts with little tear-out, and AWS lets it wirelessly start a compatible dust extractor. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet makers and remodelers who want track-saw precision without a cord; against corded plunge saws it trades unlimited runtime for battery dependence, and the guide rail and dust extractor are extra purchases.

The Makita GPS01M1J is a 40V max XGT brushless 6-1/2" plunge circular saw kit with a 4.0Ah battery and charger. It has a Makita-built brushless motor and Automatic Speed Change Technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut. A variable speed dial covers 2,500 to 4,900 RPM. Soft start and an electric brake are included, and constant speed control keeps the finish consistent under load.
The saw cuts 2-3/16" deep at 90 degrees. The bevel range is -1° to 48°, with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. Front and rear bevel supports add rigidity for bevel cuts. A built-in depth stop allows a preliminary scoring cut of 5/64" (2 mm) to 7/64" (3 mm) before the full cut, for clean, splinter-free results. It can cut large wood panels, melamine, MDF, aluminum and Corian. Aluminum and Corian need optional material-specific blades, and a wood blade is included. An optional guide rail system (sold separately) gives more accurate cuts with minimal tear-out.
The Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) uses Bluetooth to start and stop a connected dust extractor with the saw's trigger. It requires an AWS transmitter (part no. 198901-5) and a dust extractor, both sold separately. XGT digital communication monitors the tool for overload, over-discharge and overheating. A rubberized soft grip handle, a plunge release lever and an on-board hex wrench for blade changes are included.
