Precision and power
Mafell Circular Saw KSS 300 MaxiMAX
A mobile and precise cross-cutting system from Mafell that combines a circular saw and cross-cutting rail in one unit. Ideal for precise cuts, shadow joints and angled cuts in wood and board-based materials.
Why it was chosen: The Mafell KSS 300 MaxiMAX was selected for its combination of precision, mobility and flexibility. It represents a professional tool for craftsmen who need a compact yet powerful sawing system for both construction sites and workshops.

The Mafell KSS 300 MaxiMAX is a compact cross-cutting system that combines a circular saw with a permanently connected cross-cutting rail via the so-called 'fast-lock' system. This design makes it possible to perform precise cross-cuts, mitre cuts and bevel cuts with one hand, while the saw automatically returns to its starting position after each cut.

The saw has a cutting depth of up to 42 mm without the rail and 40 mm with the rail at 0°, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks such as shadow joints, plunge cuts and longitudinal cuts. The low weight of 2.4 kg and the robust magnesium housing provide a good balance between strength and handling.

The design of the KSS 300 system makes it possible to work with high precision, as the pivot point is located at the lower edge of the rail. This means that only one marking line is needed, regardless of the angle setting. The saw can also be detached from the cross-cutting rail and used as a regular circular saw.

The delivery scope includes, among other things, a 1.4 metre Flexi-rail, clamps, saw blade, cross-cutting rail, parallel guide, extraction nozzle, hex key and 4 metre cable – all packed in a practical T-MAX transport case.
