7-1/4" Magnesium Rear Handle Circular Saw
High-Torque Cordless Cutting Power for Heavy-Duty Federal Construction and Disaster Response.
The Makita® Rear Handle Circular Saw is a professional-grade power tool designed to provide the cutting capacity and torque of a traditional corded worm-drive saw without the limitations of a power cord. Powered by two 18V LXT® batteries, this 36V powerhouse is an essential asset for U.S. Navy Seabees, Army Corps of Engineers, and FEMA disaster recovery teams. Engineered for heavy-duty framing and demolition, it delivers the precision and raw strength required to maintain federal infrastructure and respond to critical structural failures in the field.
Product Details
In the demanding environment of federal site development, the Makita® Rear Handle Saw stands out for its balance and extreme runtime. The rear-handle "worm-drive style" design provides a clear line of sight for right-handed users and increased reach, which is critical for cutting structural timber and thick plywood. Utilizing a high-efficiency brushless motor and Automatic Speed Change™ technology, the saw adjusts its speed and torque under load to maintain peak performance through the densest materials without stalling.
Key Federal Procurement & Operational Benefits:
- Corded Performance, Cordless Agility: Delivers the power of a 15-Amp corded saw, enabling federal crews to operate in remote locations or "dead" buildings without the need for generators or trailing cables.
- Extreme Durability: Features a die-cast magnesium base, blade guard, and motor housing, significantly reducing weight while providing the ruggedness needed to survive drops on industrial job sites.
- Mission-Critical Safety: Equipped with an electric brake for rapid blade stops and eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT™), which provides enhanced dust and water resistance in harsh outdoor climates.
- Precision Engineering: Capable of a massive 2-9/16" cutting depth at $90^{\circ}$, allowing for a single pass through 3x lumber—a major productivity boost for federal framing and shoring projects.
- Logistical Efficiency: Built-in tether notch for fall protection compliance and a large extra-wide tool hook for securing the saw to rafters or scaffolding between cuts.
