Cordless Freedom with Corded Worm Drive Power

Revolutionize your framing and cutting capabilities with the Makita 40V max XGT® Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4” Circular Saw Kit (GSR01M1). Engineered for the most demanding applications, this saw allows professional framers, builders, and roofers to completely transition to a cordless job site without sacrificing power. At the heart of this tool is a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers an impressive 6,400 RPM, providing high-speed cutting performance that outpaces many corded competitors. With a massive cutting capacity of 2-9/16 inches, it can slice through 3X lumber in a single pass, making it an indispensable asset for heavy-duty structural work.

The GSR01M1 is designed not just for power, but for intelligence and durability. It features Automatic Torque Drive Technology, which intuitively adjusts cutting speed under load to maintain optimum performance, ensuring smooth cuts through dense materials like LVL and engineered lumber. Built to withstand harsh job site environments, the tool incorporates Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a series of integrated seals that channel water and dust away from vital internal components. Weighing in at only 11.7 lbs with the battery, and featuring a magnesium die-cast base, this saw offers superior ergonomics and maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during all-day use.

Key Features

  • High-Speed Performance: Brushless motor delivers 6,400 RPM for fast, efficient cutting.
  • Smart Power Management: Automatic Torque Drive adjusts speed under load for optimal performance.
  • Massive Capacity: 2-9/16" cutting depth allows for cutting 3X lumber in a single pass.
  • Rugged Durability: XPT™ technology provides enhanced resistance to dust and water in harsh conditions.

  • Versatile Bevels: Bevel capacity up to 53º with positive stops at 22.5º and 45º for common framing angles.
  • Intelligent Communication: Digital communication within the XGT® system protects against overload, over-discharge, and overheating.
  • Fast Charging: XGT® Rapid Charger circulates air through the battery to cool it down, significantly reducing charge times.
