Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology and miter saw innovation and has combined this expertise in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. It’s powered by2 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries for 36-Volt power and performance, but without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The XSL04PTU has an efficient BL Brushless Motor that delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The XSL04PTU is equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS), which uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication with the AWS-equipped dust extractor (sold separately). AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and reduces noise. The XSL04PTU has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and dead-on accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. It will also crosscut a 4×12 at 90. The saw miters 0 to 60 left and right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45 and 60 (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 to 48 (left and right).
- Powered by 2 LXT batteries, X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord
- Makita built electronically controlled BL brushless motor delivers 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cutting
- Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) utilizes bluetooth technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and optional dust extractor
- BL (brushless motor) eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer-life
- Automatic speed change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance
- X2 LXT technology delivers up to 334 cuts per charge in 2 SPF x 4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2 SPF x 12 SPF lumber using two 5.0 Ah batteries
- Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation, reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall
- In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
- Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance
- Increased capacity for up to 6-5/8 in. crown molding (vertically nested), 5-1/4 in. baseboard (vertical) and 12 in. crosscuts at 90
- Miters 0 left and right to 60 left and right, bevels 0 left and right to 48 left and right
- Positive miter stops at: 0 left and right, 15 left and right, 22.5 left and right, 31.6 left and right, 45 left and right and 60 left or right
- Integrated 4-3/4 in. T fence system for increased rigidity and more precise miter and bevel cuts
- Built-in laser clearly indicates line-of-cut whether or not blade is turning, on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise cutting left-of-blade or right-of-blade
- Linear ball bearing system engineered to deliver dead-on accurate cuts
- Large-sized aluminum base improves stability of material for efficient cutting
- High power provides efficient cutting in wood and aluminum extrusion (aluminum blade and cutting lubricant sold separately)
- Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers

Battery is nice. But it costs 189.00 plus tax for one Battery!
Pattie Reinger (verified owner) –
The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.
Addie Goyette (verified owner) –
Charged battery and cut a 2 1/2″ pipe perfectly!!
Kaleigh Wolff (verified owner) –
Max power
Durward Cronin (verified owner) –
It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.
Dolly Leannon (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quick, easy to use, reasonably priced. While working I always have one battery charging and ready to go to work.
Reva Nicolas (verified owner) –
Cuts well. And not as heavy as expected. I did upgrade the blade though.
Mittie Rippin (verified owner) –
Makita one of the best quality tools out there
Jalon Shanahan (verified owner) –
Easy install holds a good charge
Caleigh Harber (verified owner) –
Love the power and reliability it provides
Hardy Predovic (verified owner) –
Works great. Charges different batteries at different times which works out great. Doesn’t over heat the other battery when charging.
Kendall Johnson (verified owner) –
I have not gotten into any heavy projects yet but it seems to be a great saw. It shipped well, was 90 degrees out of the box and has good fit and finish. Plenty of power.
Whitney Sawayn (verified owner) –
Have not used battery yet!
Sarai Rau (verified owner) –
Great value
Zachary Waelchi (verified owner) –
Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power
