The Best Makita Plunge Saws (UK 2026)
Makita offers one of the widest plunge-saw ranges, from corded workshop saws to 18V, 36V (twin-18V) and 40V XGT cordless models - all sharing Makita's huge battery ecosystem.
The Makita range
The corded SP6000 is a long-standing favourite; the cordless DSP600 (36V, twin-18V) brings that performance off the cable; and the 40V XGT SP001 pushes power further. If you're already in Makita's LXT or XGT battery system, a Makita plunge saw slots straight in.
