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 in. 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 in. 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 Makitas 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. for improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. This Promotion also comes with a bonus BL1850B 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery.

It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.

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

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.

Very impressed with this battery’s runtime and power!
Preston Medhurst (verified owner) –
Great product that holds a charge for a long time. Provides power when needed for big projects without having to worry about stopping for a charge or swap out batteries. I like the battery charge remaining lights so I know how much work I still can get from it.

If you don’t have one of these you are working a lot harder than you need to. Hacksaw, seldom ever use one now.Tin snips, seldom ever use them now.Cutting torch, seldom ever use one now.Chop saw, seldom ever use one now.This and the heavier duty corded version have redefined how I fabricate.Quick, simple and convenient. Cuts quick and the Makita blades last longer than anything else I have found so far.

Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.
