The Makita GSR01M1 is a 40V max XGT cordless rear-handle circular saw with a 7-1/4 inch blade and a brushless motor that spins at 6,400 RPM. Its 2-9/16 inch depth of cut lets it slice through thick stock in one pass, and the die-cast magnesium base, 56-degree bevel with stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees, electric brake and Automatic Torque Drive make it a serious framing tool. It suits framers, roofers and builders who want corded-class power without a cord, and it competes with rear-handle saws from DeWalt and Milwaukee on cut depth and bevel range. The kit ships with a 4.0 Ah XGT battery and charger, so it locks you into Makita's 40V platform.

Owners of Makita's 40V XGT rear-handle saw praise its power and cut depth, saying it keeps up with corded saws on framing work. Some note the weight and the runtime of the included 4.0 Ah battery as trade-offs.
This cordless rear handle circular saw runs on the Makita 40V max XGT lithium-ion system. Its Makita-built brushless motor turns at up to 6,400 RPM. The 7-1/4" blade cuts up to 2-9/16" deep, enough to cut 3X lumber in a single pass.
The base is die-cast magnesium, and the saw weighs 11.7 lbs, up to 1.5 lbs lighter than corded models. An electric brake stops the blade after a cut. The bevel adjusts with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. An onboard offset wrench is used for blade changes.
Automatic Torque Drive Technology adjusts cutting speed under load. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) uses integrated seals that channel water and dust away from key internal components. Digital communication within the XGT system monitors for overload, over-discharge and overheating.
