The 18-Volt LXT Brushless Cordless 5-7/8 in. Metal Cutting Saw delivers faster metal cutting through Unistrut, all thread, channel, corrugated, conduit, pipe, sheet metal, square tubing, steel and more. With a full 2-1/4 in. cutting capacity, it is ideal for electrical contractors as it will cut 2 conduit in 1 pass a huge time saver. It includes a transparent chip collector box to capture cutting debris. The brushless motor is engineered for efficiency and in run-time testing the Saw made up to 125 cuts per charge in 1 SCH 40 pipe using an 18-Volt 5.0 Ah battery. Makita offers optimum 5-7/8 in. blade options for use with the XSC02M: 32T carbide tipped for metal and general purpose, 52T for thin metal, 52T for aluminum, and 60T for stainless steel (all sold separately). Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Battery is nice. But it costs 189.00 plus tax for one Battery!

I have used all kinds of batteries for multiple brands and systems but none of them compare to the 5a. The star protection keeps you going through the whole job. One 5a battery all day or multiple 3a batteries throughout your day? You decide but I’ll take only one battery for the job any day.

Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power
Millie Muller (verified owner) –
Best batteries on the market

The charger works fine, but it does NOT charge up a 6Ah battery, as I had hoped (& as was listed on the packaging & elsewhere). I will be returning this charger & starting all over to research just what kind of charger I need for 6Amphour batteries for my Makita cordless hedge trimmer. Meanwhile, I’m stuck with my old plug-in trimmer (limited distance from house) or the machete & loppers!
