Description
Makita is the innovation leader in brushless motor technology and the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw (model XSH03Z, tool only, battery and charger sold separately) combines power and run-time for faster cutting and ripping without the cord. The XSH03Z is equipped with Automatic Speed Change Technology, which adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance. The Makita BL brushless motor is engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The XSH03Z features Extreme Protection Technology, engineered for increased dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

This is my 3rd Makita cordless saw but my first brushless. The brushless is the way to go.
Rachael Nikolaus (verified owner) –
This is an excellent saw. It feels very sturdy and well built and is light enough to use for hours on end. I put at 5 ah battery in and cut treated lumber for a deck build for almost two days without a recharge. It’s taking some patience with the left hand blade, but a great saw overall!

Loving this saw. I was a little reluctant to buy a cordless because the last cordless saw I used was my dads older craftsman 19.2 volt and it was “okay”.This saw cuts like crazy. So far I’ve cut MDF and plywood and it cuts like nothing through those. We are remodeling our kitchen and we are doing butcherblock counters. I used this saw to cut many of the 1-1/2″ birch pieces. It did not fly through them, but it did cut pretty easy. Just had to take my time. Actually cut the counter better than my Ridgid table saw. Was surprising.Also, the led light is such a fantastic feature. It’s so nice to have a light and it’s pretty bright, right on the cut.One of the other reason I bought a new saw was for dust collection. My old corded Makita circular, of course has no dust collection, so this was a welcome feature. It actually works pretty good.My only two slight negatives are, for one it is not perfectly 90 degree’s, it’s a tiny bit off. Maybe I’ll figure a way to get it straight. Other criticism is the duct collection port does not come with the saw. Doesn’t make sense. I had to purchase that elsewhere.Before I bought this, I was looking at the makita compact saw, but after watching some review video’s and looking over the compact, this one is definitely built much, much better, and it’s less expensive.Very happy with the saw. My old corded saw is now collecting dust. This one does everything I need and more.

It is the best saw I ever used very light ,powerful and compact.
Ariane Little (verified owner) –
The saw works great as expected. My only wish is that makita would start providing their 3A battery with their tools as a standard.
Orlando Lehner (verified owner) –
Good
Guido Dibbert (verified owner) –
This saw will cut thru a 4×4 with easy and no bog down
Valentina Rutherford (verified owner) –
What can I say? I’ve been using Makita cordless tools for may years and this 6 1/2 inch circular saw is very impressive: Well made, well balanced and easy to use with remarkably good power.
Lurline Hirthe (verified owner) –
I love this saw, but after 4 months it stopped working, Most of my tools are Makita’s and this is my first one messing up. I’m gonna send it back to them for repair hopefully they fixit and I don’t have to buy a new one from another lineup. I’ll be changing my review accordingly
Lysanne Walsh (verified owner) –
Great, powerful saw. Cut through a bunch of treated 10×2’s like butter, with the included Makita blade. Quick brake action. Set up was easy. Initial charge up did not take long, and I have not had to recharge it yet.
Ottis Nader (verified owner) –
Worked great until it fell off a table onto a concrete floor and bent one of the brackets on the base. There’s no way to set the saw down without it falling over when it has a battery on it.
Damon O’Keefe (verified owner) –
Its cuts threw wood like nothing. Its also light and the hanger is very useful so you don’t have to put it down on the grouns or some wired place.
