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.

OK, I bought this one verses the single charger that comes with most Makita tools. It quickly charges my 4.0Ah LXT batteries in about 30 minutes or less. I have yet to run out of power or yet have to wait for a battery to be charged. All the indicator lights are very helpful. Also the cooling fans are a big plus so that the batteries stay at a good optimal temperatur. All and all I’m very pleased with this product.

This saw will pay for its self in no time . No more hunting for a power pole and running drop cords .

First thing the saw runs clean . All the sawdust is caught in the bag .Second it runs quiet and smooth but most of all it’s small and light . You could use it on a bench or like me on the floor . Very convenient .

I already had a single charger with the Makita set I bought several years ago. It makes recharging multiple batteries at the same time more cost-effective, without having to stop work.

The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.
