This motor also provides longer run time and increased durability compared to traditional brushed motors. The saw is equipped with a 165mm blade, allowing for a cutting capacity of up to 57mm at 90 degrees and 41mm at 45 degrees. 

In addition to its impressive power, the DHS680 also boasts a range of user-friendly features. The saw is equipped with an electric brake for increased safety, as well as a built-in LED light to illuminate the work area for improved visibility. The tool also features a bevel capacity of up to 50 degrees, allowing for a wide range of cutting angles.
