Product Description

Makita 18Vx2 Brushless Circular Saw (185mm) – Cordless Circular Saw

Instantly sever the tether of heavy electrical cords and unleash absolute, mains-equivalent cutting power on the most demanding construction sites with the formidable Makita 18Vx2 Brushless Circular Saw (185mm). When ripping through dense, wet structural timber or executing massive cross-cuts on thick formply, standard 18V saws bog down, overheat, and stall completely. This elite cordless circular saw completely redefines battery-powered capability. By utilizing two 18V LXT batteries simultaneously (36V power), combined with a highly advanced, frictionless Brushless Motor, it generates an absolutely devastating 6,000 RPM no-load speed. This guarantees the 185mm blade slices through thick Australian hardwood as effortlessly as a heavy-duty corded AC machine.

Engineered for uncompromising commercial precision and supreme operator safety, this saw features Makita's highly intelligent Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT). The machine actively senses the density of the wood and automatically shifts from high-speed cutting to high-torque grinding to power through massive knots without stalling. Boasting an exceptional 68.5mm maximum cutting capacity at 90 degrees, a massive 56-degree bevel capacity for complex roofing cuts, and an instant-stop electric brake for absolute worksite safety, this Makita 36V circular saw is the ultimate, indestructible weapon for professional carpenters and elite framing contractors.

*Note: This listing is for the Tool Skin ONLY. 18V Batteries and Charger are sold separately.

Who Is The Makita 18Vx2 Brushless Circular Saw Ideal For?

This 36V (18Vx2) saw delivers 6,000 RPM AC-like power and Automatic Torque Drive. It is highly recommended for:

Professional Carpenters & Framers: Utilizing an incredibly powerful cordless circular saw to effortlessly rip through thick, dense structural pine and massive LVL beams all day without the saw bogging down or stalling in the cut.
Roofing Contractors: Taking absolute advantage of the massive 56-degree bevel capacity to execute highly complex, angled birdsmouth cuts on roof trusses securely and accurately while balancing on scaffolding.
Formwork & Concreters: Relying on the devastating 6,000 RPM blade speed to rapidly slice through thick, glue-heavy formply sheets continuously without being restricted by massive, heavy electrical extension cords.
High-End DIY Builders: Upgrading their standard 18V tool kit with a flagship Makita 36V circular saw that provides the aggressive, uncompromising cutting power required for building massive outdoor decks and pergolas.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

Massive 36V (18Vx2) Power: The ultimate cordless platform. By drawing power from two standard 18V LXT batteries simultaneously, the highly efficient Brushless motor delivers explosive, AC-mains equivalent cutting power without the cord.
Automatic Torque Drive (ADT): Highly intelligent cutting. If the blade hits a thick, dense knot of wood, the ADT system instantly senses the resistance and automatically drops the RPM while massively increasing the torque to violently push the blade through without stalling.
Devastating 6,000 RPM Speed: The incredibly high rotation speed ensures the 185mm blade slices through the timber flawlessly, leaving a perfectly clean, smooth edge without dangerous kickback or massive tear-out.
Exceptional 68.5mm Cut Capacity: Features an incredibly deep cutting profile. At a straight 90 degrees, it cuts a massive 68.5mm deep, easily slicing through thick 2x4s and heavy structural timbers in a single, smooth pass.
Instant Electric Brake: The ultimate OH&S safety feature. The exact second you release the trigger, the electronic brake forcefully stops the spinning blade almost instantly, completely preventing devastating accidental cuts to the operator's legs or the material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run this saw using only ONE 18V battery?

Absolutely NOT. This is a 36V machine. It requires exactly TWO 18V LXT batteries clicked into the housing simultaneously to operate. The machine will not turn on or spin the blade if only one battery is inserted.

Do the two 18V batteries need to be the same Amp Hour (Ah)?

Ideally, yes. For absolute maximum performance and runtime, you should use two matching batteries (e.g., two 5.0Ah batteries). If you mix a 3.0Ah and a 5.0Ah, the saw will completely shut down the exact second the smaller 3.0Ah battery goes flat.

What is 'Automatic Torque Drive' (ADT)?

When cutting thin plywood, the saw spins at a massive 6000 RPM. If you suddenly hit a highly dense, wet knot of hardwood, a normal saw stalls. ADT detects the resistance and automatically slows the blade down while massively increasing the pushing power (torque) to grind through the knot.

Does this listing include the batteries and charger?

No. This listing is for the 'Tool Skin' ONLY. It includes the actual circular saw machine and usually a standard blade, but you must supply your own Makita 18V LXT batteries and charger.

Is a Brushless motor better than a standard motor?

Vastly better. Standard motors use carbon brushes that create massive physical friction and heat. A brushless motor uses magnets. It runs incredibly cool, produces significantly more torque, and makes your batteries last up to 50% longer on a single charge.

What is the maximum depth it can cut?

When the heavy-duty base plate is set completely flat at 90 degrees, the massive 185mm blade can plunge to an exceptional depth of 68.5mm, easily allowing you to slice completely through thick structural 2x4 timbers in a single pass.

What does the 'Soft Start' feature do?

When you pull the trigger on a massive 6000 RPM saw, the immediate torque usually violently jerks the machine in your hand, ruining your cut line. 'Soft Start' gradually ramps the blade speed up over 1 second, ensuring a perfectly smooth, controlled start.

Does it have a laser guide?

You must check the exact model specifications, but typically, highly professional Makita 36V saws focus on extreme cutting power, LED work lights to illuminate the cut line, and highly accurate metal notch guides, rather than relying on lasers.

Can I cut steel or aluminium with this saw?

This specific saw is configured and RPM-rated for cutting Timber. If you want to cut metal, you MUST purchase a highly specialized 'Cold Cut' metal blade. Using a standard wood blade on steel is incredibly dangerous and will shatter the carbide teeth instantly.

How does the 'Electric Brake' work?

On cheap saws, when you let go of the trigger, the heavy blade continues spinning dangerously for 10 seconds. The Makita Electric Brake actively reverses the electrical polarity the instant you release the trigger, violently stopping the blade in less than 2 seconds.

Is the base plate made of heavy steel or aluminium?

Professional Makita saws feature a heavy-duty, highly engineered cast magnesium or thick aluminium base plate. This ensures the base remains perfectly flat and rigid, completely resisting bending or warping if dropped on a jobsite.

Do you offer trade pricing for construction companies?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for construction firms, professional carpenters, and roofing contractors outfitting their fleets with Makita 36V tools. Contact us to establish your account.
