Cordless Circular Saw - Makita, XGT 40 V, 415 mm Blade, HS013GZ

Makita HS013GZ Cordless Circular Saw, XGT 40 V, 415 mm Blade

Makita HS013GZ is a cordless circular saw on the XGT 40 V max platform with a 415 mm blade and a cutting depth of 160 mm. Makita calls it the most powerful cordless circular saw in the XGT range. EAN 0197050007438.

What 160 mm of depth opens up

160 mm at 90° is a depth ordinary circular saws do not have. It cuts a 150 x 150 mm beam in one pass, roof timbers, CLT panels, a stack of boards. Until now that was chainsaw or static-machine work; here it is done with a hand-held saw on a rail, which means a straight, accurate cut.

The 415 mm blade

The blade is 415 mm with a 25.4 / 30 mm bore. The saw ships with an Efficut 415 x 30 x 35T blade (E-24848). Efficut is Makita's thin-kerf range - a narrower kerf means less material turned into dust and less current per stroke, which on a cordless machine converts directly into more cutting per charge.

2100 rpm

2100 rpm looks slow next to the 5000 of a 190 mm saw, but with a 415 mm blade the rim speed is the same order. A big blade turns slower and cuts harder - that is the logic of every deep-cut machine.

XGT, brushless motor and brake

The platform is XGT 40 V max - Makita's system for machines that used to need a cord. The motor is brushless, there is a motor brake, and the saw supports AWS, which starts the dust extractor wirelessly with no cable between the two.

Bevel and working size

Bevel is 0-45°, and at 45° the depth is 106 mm. Overall size is 606 x 233 x 476 mm - this is a large machine, guided with two hands, on a rail or along a struck line.

Bare tool

The Z suffix means bare tool. The box holds the Efficut blade and the 450316-7 extraction port, but batteries and charger are bought separately. Note that XGT is a separate platform - 18 V LXT batteries do not fit.

Noise

Sound power is 106 dB(A) and sound pressure 98 dB(A) - ear defenders are not optional. Vibration cutting wood is below 2.5 m/s², which is low for this class.
