The Makita HS7611K is a 190 mm mains circular saw that stands out for two numbers: a 1,600 W motor and a listed weight of 3.9 kg. On paper that is the most power and the least weight among the 190 mm saws in our guide. It suits users who carry a saw around site or cut overhead and still want a strong motor. The catch is a thin listing with few other details.

In its favour
- The listing gives 1,600 W, the most power among the 190 mm saws here.
- At a listed 3.9 kg it is the lightest saw in this guide.
- A plastic carry case is included for storage and transport.
Good to know
- The listing does not state the depth of cut or bevel range.
- Very little detail is given about features such as a brake or guide.
Our take
What Amazon lists
The title gives the model, the 1,600 W power rating, the 190 mm blade diameter and the plastic case. The specs add a 230 V supply, a metal handle material and dimensions of about 24 by 31 by 26 cm. The bullet points are mostly search keywords rather than features, so there is no stated depth of cut, bevel range or mention of a brake or LED.
Because of that, it is worth checking Makita's own data sheet for the cutting depth before you buy if you need a specific figure.
Power and weight in practice
More motor power helps a saw hold its speed in wet or dense timber and in long rip cuts, where a weaker motor bogs down and burns the edge. Pairing that with a light body makes the HS7611K appealing for roofers and first fix carpenters who make many cuts in place rather than on a bench.
Case and storage
A plastic carry case is included, which keeps the blade guard and base protected in a van. The listing does not say what else is inside, so assume a blade is fitted and that any parallel guide or dust port may need to be bought separately.
If you already own other Makita tools, note that the listing does not say this is a Makpac system case, so it may not stack with the rest of your kit.
Where it fits against rivals
The Makita HS7101J costs more but documents its brake, LED and 67 mm depth clearly. The Bosch GKS 190 lists a 70 mm cut, a guide and a dust adaptor. The HS7611K is the one to consider when power and low weight matter most and you are comfortable confirming the remaining specs yourself.
Verdict
The HS7611K makes sense for buyers who want a powerful, light 190 mm saw in a case and do not mind checking the depth and bevel figures with Makita. If you prefer a fully documented feature set, the Makita HS7101J or Bosch GKS 190 are safer choices.
