Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, has combined both areas of expertise in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) lithium-ion Brushless 7-1/2 in. Compound Miter Saw (tool-only). It’s powered by two 18-Volt lithium-ion batteries for 36-Volt power and performance, but without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. In addition, the efficient BL Brushless Motor delivers 5,700 RPM for fast cutting and the exclusive Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque for optimum performance under load. This innovative cordless miter saw is an ideal cutting solution for room-to-room applications, making it a must have for remodelers, flooring contractors, cabinet installers, case and base installers and more. Its 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. 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.

A really well built cordless tool that does not lack in capability and adds functionality. Brushless technology lives up to the hype and delivers a strong and consistent performance. Ultimately I did end up returning this saw in favor of its 10” cousin, which I am equally impressed with.

Lucky you only had 1 left. Love it because I just purchased 2 6.0 batteries and this came in handy for recharging. As you know the project hasto go on, so when 1 battery runs out there’s always a backup. Will probably get another one sometime this year.

Great tool, so far. Using it for about a week to replace old trim at home. Easily cutting 1×4, 1×6, 5/4 x 5, etc. Lightweight. Quiet.
Myrtice Batz (verified owner) –
Works great. Charges different batteries at different times which works out great. Doesn’t over heat the other battery when charging.
Janie DuBuque (verified owner) –
Great tool saves time easy to use I am very glad I got it
Rashawn Prohaska (verified owner) –
Charger works great, its nice to be able to charge 2 battery’s at the same time

I’m a General contractor have 7 trim hanging employee. We used these type saws to hang trim in individual rooms on remodels instead of having to unload the world to hang 4 sticks of crown or base. I’ve only owned it for a month but, so far it’s a great little saw. It has plenty of power cuts smooth as glass runs circles around my dewalt 7 1/4 20volt saw.

Works awsome
Althea Weissnat (verified owner) –
Nice to charge 2 at a time. Also seems quicker than my old charger
Trinity Bartell (verified owner) –
Very smooth running. Works well.
Rosamond Rempel (verified owner) –
LIGHTWEIGHT – easy to carry at 27 pounds. I store it in a cabinet and it’s easy to compact it and lift it.Minus 1 star: – issue is the sawdust not going into the bag, as it gets stuck in the chute – the blades seem expensive and hard to find (7 1/2), and for $55 ! The good news, you can use the 7 1/4 – 5/8 arbor blades for half the cost.
