NEW BRUSHLESS

CIRCULAR SAW

FROM MAKITA

Makita UK has launched the

new DRS780Z 18Vx2 185mm

Brushless circular saw as part of

its LXT range. The latest addition

to Makita’s extensive cordless

machinery portfolio, it includes their

Automatic Torque Drive Technology for optimum operation.

The DRS780Z 18Vx2 185mm Brushless circular saw LXT has been

designed with ease of use in mind and the included Automatic Torque

Drive Technology (ADT), unique to Makita, automatically adjusts the

tool’s cutting speed according to the load conditions. This ensures that

the saw is always cutting at the correct speed and continues to work

at its optimum level.

Driven by a Brushless motor, the DRS780Z also benefits from minimal

maintenance. As the motor does not utilise carbon brushes, friction is

reduced, which results in fewer issues due to wear and eliminates the

cost of replacement brushes.

The DRS780Z has a maximum output of 1,700W and is powered by

two 18V Lithium-ion batteries – totalling 36V, providing extended run

times and less downtime, and massively improving on-site productivity.

Makita’s 18V batteries can also be interchanged across other Makita

tools, providing continued on-site flexibility.

When using the saw, operators can benefit from a maximum cutting

capacity of 65mm at 0°, 45mm at 45° and 38mm at 53°. With a vibration

level of just 2.5m/s², users can safely operate the tool for longer, while

the lightweight magnesium base allows them to do this in comfort

without compromising the durability of the tool.

Matt Chilton, Product Manager – Tools at Makita, said: “This new

Brushless circular saw offers a number of key benefits for operators.

Firstly, the inclusion of Makita’s ADT means that the saw can cut through

materials effortlessly, improving ease of use and on-site productivity.

Operators can also benefit from Soft Start – which prevents the tool

from kicking when making initial contact with the material – as well

as the rear handle design, which provides stability and increased control

for those ripping through large sheets of timber.”

The DRS780Z is a body-only machine; to find out more about this

new product, visit http://www.makitauk.com.

The Clarke CPDS1 panel dolly set is ideal for

woodworkers looking to move large, heavy

panels (up to 250kg) such as plywood or

plasterboard. This set benefits from high quality

castors and heavy-duty powder platforms to

allow for excellent mobility and robustness.
