Where it sits among 165mm plunge saws

Scaled against the 14 plunge saws with a 165mm blade we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

The DSP601 is the DSP600 with Makita's AWS wireless system added: a wireless unit in the saw that auto-starts a paired Bluetooth extractor the moment you cut, with no trigger lead. Everything else matches the DSP600, with 56mm depth, a 165mm blade, twin-18V 36V power and a class-leading 0.8 m/s² vibration. We would choose it over the DSP600 for anyone running a cordless Makita extractor on site; if you do not need wireless start, the DSP600 makes the same cuts.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
