Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 16-5/16" Circular Saw, AWS Capable — Bare Tool
The Makita GSH06Z 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 16-5/16" Circular Saw is a heavy-duty cordless saw engineered for cutting large timber, pressure-treated lumber, posts, rafters, and wood logs. As Makita's largest cordless circular saw, it combines a 16-5/16-inch blade with a high-output 40V max XGT platform to provide cutting capacity comparable to demanding corded applications—without the need for a power cord.
The saw can cut 6x material in a single pass at 90° and 4x material at 45°, while its brushless motor provides a no-load speed of 2,100 RPM. The die-cast aluminum construction keeps the saw relatively compact for its size, with a net weight of 24.3 lbs.
This is the bare-tool version. Battery and charger are not included.
Key Features
- 40V max XGT® Power: Delivers the high output needed for large-scale cutting applications.
- 16-5/16" Blade: Provides an exceptionally large cutting capacity for heavy timber and structural lumber.
- Brushless Motor: Makita-built brushless motor provides efficient power delivery and consistent cutting performance.
- 2,100 RPM No-Load Speed: Provides fast blade rotation for efficient cutting.
- Large Cutting Capacity: Cuts up to 6-5/16" at 90° and 4-1/4" at 45° in a single pass.
- 0–45° Bevel Capacity: Includes positive stops at 15°, 30°, and 45° for common bevel-cutting applications.
- Up to 30% Faster Than Corded: Makita states that the GSH06 can cut up to 30% faster than the comparable Makita 5402NA corded 16-5/16" circular saw.
- Blade Stabilizer: Helps maintain stable blade rotation for improved cutting performance.
- Soft Start: Gradually increases motor speed to help suppress start-up reaction and improve control.
- Electric Brake: Stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released to improve productivity.
- Die-Cast Aluminum Construction: Provides a durable structure while keeping the tool lighter than the comparable corded model.
- AWS® Capable: Supports Makita Auto-Start Wireless System communication with a compatible dust extractor when the required AWS transmitter is installed separately.
Cutting Capacity

| 45° | 4-1/4" |
| Bevel Range | 0–45° |

AWS® Connectivity
The GSH06Z is AWS® capable, allowing it to communicate wirelessly with a compatible Makita dust extractor. The Auto-Start Wireless System uses Bluetooth® technology to coordinate tool and extractor operation, helping the extractor run when the saw is operating. An Auto-Start Wireless Transmitter, part number 198901-5, is sold separately.
Built for Large-Material Cutting
This saw is particularly suited to applications where a standard 7-1/4" or 10-1/4" circular saw does not provide enough capacity. Its 16-5/16" blade is designed for large timber, pressure-treated lumber, wood logs, ceiling joists, posts, rafters, and tie beams.
The die-cast aluminum design weighs 24.3 lbs., which Makita states is 4.1 lbs. lighter than the comparable 5402NA corded saw. This helps make the cordless design more manageable while retaining the cutting capacity expected from a large-format circular saw.
Runtime
When paired with a 40V max XGT 5.0Ah battery, Makita rates the GSH06 at up to 75 cuts per charge in 6x12 lumber, under the company's specified test conditions. The battery is sold separately with this GSH06Z tool-only configuration.
What's Included
The GSH06Z bare-tool package includes:
- 1 × 40V max XGT Brushless 16-5/16" Circular Saw
- 1 × 16-5/16" 35T Carbide-Tipped Circular Saw Blade (E-24854)
- 1 × Dust Extracting Attachment
- 1 × Saw Storage Holder
- 1 × Hex Wrench
Not included: 40V max XGT battery, battery charger, and AWS transmitter.
Ideal Applications
The Makita GSH06Z is well suited for:
- Structural timber cutting
- Large posts and beams
- Ceiling joists
- Rafters and tie beams
- Pressure-treated lumber
- Large wood logs
- Heavy-duty framing
- Commercial construction
- Professional carpentry
- Job-site cutting where cord-free operation is preferred
Why Choose the GSH06Z?
The Makita GSH06Z is designed for users who need the capacity of a large-format circular saw without being tied to an electrical outlet. Its 16-5/16" blade, 6-5/16" maximum 90° cutting capacity, brushless motor, 0–45° bevel adjustment, electric brake, and AWS capability make it a specialized solution for demanding large-material cutting.
Because it is a bare tool, the GSH06Z is especially suitable for professionals who already use Makita's 40V max XGT battery platform and want to add a high-capacity circular saw without purchasing another battery and charger.
