The Makita GPS01Z is a cordless plunge circular saw in Makita's 40V XGT system, designed for track-guided cutting. It has a brushless motor, a 6-1/2-inch blade, and a 2-3/16-inch depth of cut at 90 degrees. The saw includes an electric brake and soft start, and it runs on a single 40V battery. Reviewers praise its power and dust collection, but some note the bare tool lacks a battery and charger, and the blade change requires a hex key. It competes with other cordless plunge saws but offers the convenience of the XGT battery platform.
