sp6000 sp6000J plunge saw teal no rail tool only power corded wood plywood boards

Makiat SP6000J 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw, with Stackable Tool Case

Delivers A Splinter-Free Mirror Finish

The Makita 6-1/2” Plunge Cut Circular Saw (model SP6000J) delivers precise and more accurate cutting when combined with an optional guide rail system constructed with anodized aluminum for smooth, straight cuts. The saw and rail system work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out. The saw combines a powerful 12 AMP motor and a large cutting capacity with magnesium components for less weight and electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load for smooth cutting and a splinter-free mirror finish. The SP6000J is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications, and it is ideal for use on the jobsite or in a workshop.

Precision Settings and Features for Quality Cuts

The saw has a bevel capability of -1° to 48° with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. The saw delivers precise cutting, as the position of the blade enters the material on the same cutting line whether cutting straight or bevel. In addition, the saw has close-to-wall cutting (11/16-inch) for expanded cutting applications.

12 AMP Direct-Drive Power for Smooth Cutting

The SP6000J has a powerful 12 AMP motor with soft start for smooth start-ups, and Electronic Speed Control to maintain a constant speed under load for smooth cutting. The variable speed dial control (2,000 – 5,200 RPM) allows the user to set the speed for optimum performance in a variety of materials.

Additional Features

  • 1-1/2" OD dust port directs material away from the operator and connects to a vacuum system
  • Electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smooth cutting
  • Built-in current limiter helps prevent motor burnout
  • Soft start feature for smooth start-ups
  • Smooth and convenient plunge release lever for operator comfort
  • Dual front and rear bevel supports provide additional rigidity for precise and accurate bevel cuts
  • On-board hex wrench for fast and easy blade changes

Product Description

The Makita 6-1/2” Plunge Cut Circular Saw and 55” Guide Rail (model SP6000J1) work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out. The saw combines a powerful 12 AMP motor and a large cutting capacity with magnesium components for less weight and electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load for smooth cutting and a splinter-free mirror finish. The SP6000J1 is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications, and it is ideal for use on the jobsite or in a workshop.

Precision Settings and Features for Quality Cuts

The SP6000J1 saw has a bevel capability of -1° to 48° with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. The saw delivers precise cutting, as the position of the blade enters the material on the same cutting line whether cutting straight or bevel. In addition, the saw has close-to-wall cutting (11/16-inch) for expanded cutting applications. The built-in depth stop allows a preliminary cut of 1/16-inch to be performed before the entire material is cut through for clean and splinter-free cutting.

12 AMP Direct-Drive Power for Smooth Cutting

The SP6000J1 has a powerful 12 AMP motor with soft start for smooth start-ups, and Electronic Speed Control to maintain a constant speed under load for smooth cutting. The variable speed dial control (2,000 – 5,200 RPM) allows the user to set the speed for optimum performance in a variety of materials. The built-in torque limiter helps prevent motor burnout, with an electric brake for added productivity.

Precision Cuts and Ease of Use

The saw includes a range of convenient features, including a large top handle, an electric brake for more productivity, as well as a lock-lever that attaches the saw to the rail system so the saw stays on the anodized aluminum rail when positioned for a bevel cut. The smooth and convenient plunge release lever is designed for operator comfort, and the depth adjustment with large scale is easy to set.

Best in Class for a Range of Applications

The SP6000J1 is engineered for cutting sheet material, finish work, trim work, and remodeling. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, finish carpenters, stair installers, flooring installers, woodworkers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw.

Great tool for easy, butter smooth cuts
I decided to purchase this over the battery version and over other brands to save a couple bucks. I watched lots of videos and read reviews and landed on this as a cost-effective and quality saw. And I can confirm that it does stand up to the reviews. If I already had Makita batteries, I likely would have gone for the battery version but after using it for a while the cord doesn't bother me at all.The saw and track were straight out of the box and I made some 90 degree cuts that were spot on without any adjustment. I just set up the saw on the tracks and tightened the adjustment screws to get a good fit to the track without any wobble. And you can see from the picture, it cut 7/8" black walnut no problem and left an almost perfect finish. It's actually on par with my table saw with a glue line rip Freud blade. Thanks Makita for including a quality blade, not some trash like a lot of brands.The track is grippy, even on a surface with a little sawdust but we will see how that holds up over time. So far, very satisfied with the purchase and I'll update this review as I get more use out of it.
