Makita M2401B 2000W Cut-Off Saw is a 355 mm portable chop saw for cutting steel section — angle, channel, pipe, rod, and rebar. Its 2,000 W motor drives an abrasive wheel at 3,800 RPM, taking up to 127 mm on round stock and 102 x 194 mm on rectangular.
Where a handheld grinder gives you a wobbly freehand cut, a cut-off saw clamps the work in a vice and brings the wheel down on a fixed pivot. That means square, repeatable cuts — which is the whole point when you're cutting a run of identical lengths for a fabrication job or a grille. An adjustable guide plate gives three angle settings up to 45° left and right for mitred joints.
Practical details make the difference on site: a quick-release vice speeds up repeat cutting, an adjustable spark guard directs the spark stream away from you, and a chain secures the head in the down position for transport. At 13.7 kg with a balanced carrying handle it's genuinely portable between site and workshop, and the brushes are externally accessible for straightforward servicing.

Usage and Safety Guidelines
Important — Read Before Use
- Always clamp the work in the vice — never hold material by hand while cutting
- Only fit 355 mm abrasive wheels rated for 3,800 RPM or higher, and inspect for cracks before every use
- At 100 dB(A), ear protection is mandatory — this is the loudest tool in the range
- Sparks travel several metres. Clear the area of anything flammable, set the spark guard, and never cut near fuel, solvents, or gas cylinders
- Full face shield plus safety goggles — hot metal fragments come off at speed
- Cut metal only. Never use an abrasive metal wheel on masonry, wood, or plastic
- Let the wheel stop completely before raising the head, and use the transport chain when carrying
- Cut material is extremely hot immediately after cutting — use gloves and allow it to cool
Recommended Applications
Where this saw fits best
- Steel fabrication: Angle, channel, flat, and box section to length
- Grille and gate making: Repeatable square and mitred cuts
- Pipe and conduit cutting: Round stock up to 127 mm
- Rebar cutting: Reinforcement bar on site
- Workshop and site use: Portable enough to move between the two
1) What materials can this cut?
It's built for metal — angle, channel, box section, pipe, rod, and rebar — using an abrasive cut-off wheel. Do not use it on masonry, wood, or plastic.
2) What size material will it take?
Up to 127 mm on round stock and 102 x 194 mm rectangular. Anything larger needs a bandsaw or a larger cut-off machine.
3) Does it come with a cutting wheel?
Yes — an abrasive cut-off wheel and hex wrench are supplied. Abrasive wheels are consumables, so order spares alongside if you have a volume of cutting to do.
4) Can it cut angles as well as square?
Yes. The adjustable guide plate gives three angle settings up to 45° left and right, which covers mitred joints for frames and grilles.
5) How does this compare to cutting with an angle grinder?
A grinder is freehand — fine for rough cutting, hard to keep square. This clamps the work in a vice and cuts on a fixed pivot, so you get square, repeatable cuts at speed. For a run of identical lengths, it isn't a close comparison.
