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.

Nice and smooth cutting and doing rips
Damian Ryan (verified owner) –
This saw met and exceeded my expectations. It’s very smooth and easy to use and battery last a very long time.

Makita always delivers. Don’t know why anyone else bothers buying anything else.
Noelia Feeney (verified owner) –
This saw is excellent
Thaddeus Kling (verified owner) –
The new brushless motor is powerful and has a lot of torque for thicker cutting jobs. Features are great and rafter hook is good as well as front and rear cutting guide slots. Visibility of the blade cutting area is good from both sides left or right. With the new brushless technology power is better, and run time is extended. The tilt adjustment to angle the blade features a small lever that moves a two way stop. In one position it allows a full travel to 50 degrees of tilt, and in the other position it blocks travel to 45 degrees. In the 45 degree position there is a adjustment screw to fine tune the 45 degree angle and also a screw for the 90 degree angle. All in all, a great new saw that both the professional and home owner will like.

Florine Hills (verified owner) –
Vary smooth running saw. Light handling, accurate, and easy to use.
Andrew Thiel (verified owner) –
I really like this saw. The hook is a nice touch
Barrett Kemmer (verified owner) –
Great tool. Light and easy to maneuver. Doesn’t come with a battery is why I gave 4 stars. It comes with a general purpose carbide blade. I was cutting PVC exterior 1×4 trim. It cut through with no slow down, no melting. Great tool buy with confidence
Rebeca Carter (verified owner) –
very accurate, and the light weight makes for a very easy to use tool. the light weight and not having a cord helps with nice cuts. the markings on the cutting guide are easy to see while cutting.
Yazmin Boehm (verified owner) –
Love it
Mable Wisoky (verified owner) –
Easy to use. Left side saw was a must for me.
Yadira Crist (verified owner) –
I’ve now used this saw several times to cut plywood and it has been great… good power and cuts effortlessly, easy to use and handle, and saves time from having to run extension cords. Also no cord to get in the way while cutting. This is a good tool!
Friedrich Fritsch (verified owner) –
Rips through an 18 in lvl and treated 4×4s with out hesitation.
Blaise Kilback (verified owner) –
I’m a professional cabinet maker. I love tools and use them all the time. We use Makita in the shop/install and I have my own Makita tools at home. This is a great saw. With Brushless motor there is more low end torque and longer battery life. It’s not an equal to a corded saw but one of the greatest 18v saws out there. It accomplishes all the tasks we need it for. If you have a little extra money buy this one over the standard brushed motor saw. It will cut almost anything you ask it to do. It has a blade brake that works almost instantly after you let off trigger. I like the battery gauge so I know how much power I have to finish a small job. There is also a little LED light that lights up the area a bit when cutting. The blade it comes with is a good carbide blade. I recommend this saw.
Rebekah Ullrich (verified owner) –
This circular saw not only met, but exceeded my expectations. I fully expected an underpowered battery hog that was too heavy to hang off of my tool belt. What I got was a lightweight circular saw, has a decent amount of power, and it doesn’t kill my batteries after two cuts.
Arno Adams (verified owner) –
Ready to go out of the box. Was surprised that it didn’t come with a rip guide bar. Other than that the saw works great. I upgraded from a brush motor. Then brushless is the way to go.
Diego Luettgen (verified owner) –
Excellent piece of tool, light, fast cutting, accurate, highly recommended.
