Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion is the worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery. At the heart of the LXT Series are the 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion battery and the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger. The new 18-Volt lithium-ion dual port rapid optimum charger (DC18RD) charges 2 batteries simultaneously, giving tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The 18-Volt Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery by forcing air through the battery’s air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading charge times: two 18-Volt Compact lithium-ion 2.0 Ah batteries in only 25-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 3.0 Ah batteries in only 30-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 4.0 Ah batteries in only 40-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 5.0 Ah batteries in only 45-minutes.

After months of debate between the Dewalt 60vFlexvolt and this saw I bought the Makita. I am VERY glad I did. After using it the last 3 days on 142 sheets of 7/16′ OSB, I can tell you OFFICIALLY that it will cut over 491 linear feet of saw kerf, (236″ x 25 sheets) on one battery charge!! This is with the 5.0 Ah batteries. (I’m ordering the 6.0 Ah batteries soon!) I could work almost 3 hours straight, charge while at lunch and do it over again in the afternoon. Outstanding! I also took a narrow paint pen and filled in the front inch divisers in the shoe and painted the Zero cut mark RED for easy sighting. One of the negatives that everybody mentioned was no place to put the blade wrench. I solved that problem by bending the end of the wrench 90 degrees, drilling a hole in that end and fastening it to the fence hole with a short 6mm hex head screw, which will ALSO double as the fence screw should I use one. At one point my batteries died just before I had finished a load and had to drag out the corded saw. I was cussing that cord in five minutes, (LOL!) after being cord, “FREE” for so long! This is a GREAT saw that will work like a champ in any application. BUY IT!

Works as advertised. Never have problems with it. I have both OEM batteries as well as aftermarket and both get the quick charge I need and expect.

This Makita saw had been a bit of a revelation. Coming from a Ryobi entry level circular saw, I didn’t realize how much time I would save by having something that tracked better, cut faster and more accurately and just made the work that much easier. It’s much heavier, though.

Wonderful tool great for common cut and rips on Pine residential framing. Would like to see more power using on stairs or harder material otherwise it gets the job done!
Emery Reichert (verified owner) –
I’m a beginner and my new Makita circular saw was easy to figure out.I’ve already started working on long awaited projects.

Works great, not any problems at all cutting metal

Every Makita tool is ergonomically designed and built with quality. I’m smaller than most U.S.Americans. But, I can get BIG jobs done, by using good tools. Makita is my favorite tool maker.

Wonderful saw works great.

I picked this Makita saw up for $100 as an open box item! This thing cuts like a dream and went through old pressure treated 2× like hot knife through butter. Good battery life. A little heavier than my DeWalt 20 volt 7-1/4″ but made for heavier work load.
