The Makita SP6000J1 is a 6-1/2 inch plunge circular saw built around a 55-inch guide rail, so it cuts straight and bevel lines without a separate track setup. Its 12 AMP motor runs 2,000 to 5,200 RPM with electronic speed control, soft start and an electric brake, and it cuts 2-3/16 inches deep at 90 degrees and 1-9/16 inches at 45. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet makers and remodelers who break down sheet goods and want track-saw accuracy from a portable saw. Against track saws from Festool and DeWalt it is a workhorse with a smaller blade and less depth, but it brings the rail, a 48T blade and a stackable case in one kit.

Owners of the SP6000J1 tend to praise its cut quality on the rail, the smooth plunge action and the clean, splinter-free edges. Complaints center on the modest depth of cut and the bulk of the rail and case.
The Makita SP6000J1 is a 6-1/2" plunge circular saw with a 12.0 AMP motor. It comes with a 55" guide rail that works with the saw base for straight or bevel cuts. Electronic speed control keeps the speed constant under load, and a variable speed dial sets the speed from 2,000 to 5,200 RPM.
The saw has a built-in current limiter to help prevent motor burnout, a soft start, and an electric brake. Magnesium components keep it balanced and lightweight at 16.5 lbs. Bevel cuts range from -1° to 48°, with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. Dual front and rear bevel supports add rigidity. The blade enters the material on the same cutting line for straight and bevel cuts.
Depth is set with a large scale, and a plunge release lever controls the plunge action. The saw cuts as close as 11/16" to a wall. A locking lever holds the blade so the wrench can be inserted through the hole in the blade case. The blade wrench attaches to the saw.
