A cordless plunge saw sold as a complete kit at almost exactly the same price in four countries — and not sold at all in two more.
The end of it The complete cordless kit, priced with unusual consistency — for the four countries that can buy it.
Every figure is a manufacturer specification, read off the listing itself, and the judgments are ours — drawn from how the specification behaves in this class of machine and from what long-term owners consistently report. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill it in.
A DSP600 plunge saw running two 18 V batteries, supplied with two 5.0 Ah packs, a twin charger and a guide rail, under EAN 0088381860079. That is the whole of it. Makita publishes no part number, no motor rating, no blade diameter, no cut depth and no feature list on this listing.
A track saw is bought once and lived with for a decade, because the rail system is what you are committing to. Rails are not reliably interchangeable between brands: the rib the saw rides on differs in width and profile, and a saw running on a rail it was not cut for gives you a chipped edge on the good face.
Two consequences. First, compare systems, not saws — the cost of the extra rails, connectors and clamps you will buy over ten years dwarfs the difference between two machines. Second, the splinter strip on a new rail is a consumable that must be trimmed by the saw that will use it, before the first real cut.
Makita’s rail is the practical argument for this saw, as it is for the corded SP6000J: the same track carries a range of the brand’s other machines, so the accessory is not stranded if the saw is later replaced. What this listing will not tell you is how long the supplied section is.
€780 in Germany, €780 in Italy, €785 in France, €790 in Spain. Four markets within €10 of each other on a €780 kit is the tightest spread anywhere in this catalog, and it removes the usual reason to shop across borders — there is nothing to gain by it.
The other half of that finding is that the reference does not resolve on the British or the American store at all. This is not an import premium; it is an absence. Readers in those two countries should treat this page as information rather than as a shopping route.

The saw takes two standard 18 V packs at once and runs them in series for 36 V of output. The advantage is that the batteries are the same ones your drill uses; the cost is that the saw takes two of them at a time, and both need to be charged and at similar states of charge.
The listing says a rail is included and does not say which length. That matters, because a rail shorter than the sheet you are cutting is a rail plus a connector plus a second rail. Confirm the length with the seller before ordering.
We do not know, and we will not guess. The reference resolves on four European stores and not on the British or American ones. If you are in Britain, the Scheppach below is the plunge saw this group can actually get you.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
