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.

Wish I would have bought this 5 years ago, it would have saved so much time and struggle. It cuts almost everything for its size and fits on my bosch table perfectly!

Works as advertised. Never have problems with it. I have both OEM batteries as well as aftermarket and both get the quick charge I need and expect.

Charges amazing fast!

Works really well, I bought it to replace my dewalt 20v 7-1/4” sliding miter saw. Very smooth start up and stop, runs forever. I used it for the installation of 700 feet of hickory hardwood flooring in a really cut up area and I only had to change the batteries out 2 times over the course of 6 days.

Hi all. Just got this Dual Charger from Home Depot. Mine works good. Both Charger Slots operate Independently. Only complaint is, Fan is a little noisy when charging 2 at the same time.

I really wanted this saw to work! I will be returning it because it will not cut 3 1/4” baseboard standing up. It would have been so easy for makita to have given a bit more clearance. Otherwise this saw is a beauty. Its powerfull and well built.

This little gem is awesome. Cuts so smoothly and fast. Is a lot lighter then my Makita 12 inch miter, a lot lighter!! The saw was dead on accurate right out of the box! They even give you a little plastic right angle to check the blade.I also bought the Makita short stand, a smaller version of the 6 ft. DeWalt. This stand is really nice, well made and durable.Marry up the two of these and you got yourself a nice, light, very portable set up!I do repair and light remodeling for a vacation rental company so this little puppy fits nice in my 6-1/2 ft. pick up bed and I still have room for the rest of my Makita tools and supplies.I buy nothing but Makita. My late father told me to spend the extra money and buy good tools, he was so right!You won’t be unhappy if you purchase this little puppy! She’s real nice!
