Mafell K 65 cc Hand-Held Circular Saw in the T-MAX

Solid structural lumber with a 60-profile, 60-mm-thick underlayment panels, thick wood-fiber insulation boards: the K 65 cc cuts through these material thicknesses—which typically exceed the capabilities of plunge saws—either freehand along a marked line or guided along a rail. Weighing just 4.7 kg, it can still be operated with one hand—in practice, people often remark that they have to double-check to make sure they’re really looking at a 65 model. This is the saw for the job site that needs one handheld circular saw, not two.

The 1,800-watt CUprex motor delivers strong performance: 67 mm free, 61 mm on the F guide rail. The plunge system uses the FLIPPKEIL—for the initial cut, the splitting wedge flips away and back; the kickback guard remains attached to the machine.

The fact that you’re buying the Mafell saw at RUWI isn’t a given: We’re manufacturers ourselves—tools for woodworking professionals from Fluorn-Winzeln, 4 kilometers from the Mafell factory in Oberndorf am Neckar. We carry only what we can recommend based on our own experience—even if the honest answer sometimes points to a different model.

Here's how to use it

• 60er wood in a single cut: 67 mm, roughly following the marking line—where the plunge saw’s capabilities end.
• One-handed handling: 4.7 kg—on a ladder, at the edge, or among the inventory.
• Making insertion cuts: Fold out the FLIPPKEIL, insert it, then fold it back—without removing the splitting wedge.
• Blade set: Ø 185 × 20 mm – same blade configuration as the KSS 60.

Does this fit in your workshop?

For cuts over 67 mm and 60° bevel cuts, the K 85 is the tool of choice. For cuts under 57 mm—whether using a guide rail, with low dust generation, or plunge cuts—the MT 55 cc is the right choice; serial cross-cuts run more smoothly on the KSS family. An interesting point about the competition: Festool leads the 55 and 85 classes—Mafell is the sole manufacturer in the 67-mm mid-range.
