When looking for a 1200-watt Makita corded circular saw, the primary global benchmark model is the Makita HS7600 (which replaced the classic 1200W 5704R workhorse).
It uses a standard 7-1/4 inch ($185\text{ mm}$) blade and is highly favored by carpenters and roofers because it drops weight significantly without losing motor torque.

Maximum Material Cutting Depth
-
Straight Vertical Cuts ($90^\circ$): Up to $64\text{ mm}$ ($2-1/2″$) — easily clears standard $2\times4$ framing lumber in a single pass.
-
Bevel Angle Cuts ($45^\circ$): Up to $42\text{ mm}$ ($1-5/8″$)
Key Construction Design Features
-
Heavy-Gauge Aluminum Base: Unlike cheaper stamped-steel bases that bend if the saw is accidentally dropped off a workbench, the HS7600 features a thick, die-cast aluminum wraparound baseplate designed to stay perfectly flat for uniform straight cuts.
-
Flat Motor Housing Design: The exterior plastic cap covering the motor side of the saw is completely flat. When it’s time to change a worn blade, you can flip the saw completely upside down on its side; it stands perfectly stable without tipping over while you use the wrench.
-
Single-Action Lever Adjustments: It features quick-clamp thumb levers rather than twist knobs to set your depth of cut and bevel tilt angle, allowing adjustments in seconds.
-
Rear Dust Port: The top blade guard is engineered with a rearward sweep exhaust vent to blow wood shavings down and away from your line of sight. It can also accept an optional vacuum nozzle attachment to hook directly into a workshop dust extractor.
