Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation and has combined this expertise in the 18V X2 (36V) LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 10″ Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. It’s powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT® platform. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The XSL06 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 XSL06 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. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4”) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8” nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4×12 at 90 degrees. 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).

Best investment in a compound miter saw I have ever made. Exceeds expectations.

All my tools are Makita battery tools as much as I can I still have a few more I need to buy I would tell anyone that Makita cordless mitre saw is very powerful and the batteries last all day 5star rating John Delucca

I really love this saw. It’s very smooth and easy to use. It didn’t come true out of the box, so I had to dial it in a little, but it seems like it cuts straight now. The only reason why I’m giving this 4 stars is because Makita should give us the option to install their bluetooth transmitter into this for their cordless dust collector. For now, I have to always remember to turn on my vacuum.

I picked this up at the local store. (I have had a problem with delivered goods being damaged.) The person at the service counter was friendly and efficient. I have not had muck time with the saw yet, but it seems to be everything the reviews say. I’ve never had a bad or failed Makita tool.

This Makita saw is fantastic. Easy to adjust tilt and angles and makes very precise cuts. I have been using Makita miter saws for 15 years and this is my first battery powered saw. It can keep up with my older Makita plug in compound sliding miter saw without question. It is very well designed and built to perform. Very satisfied with this saw.

Great Saw! No complaints.

My first mitre saw and this will help me with home projects. I really like the cordless advantage and already had the batteries and charger. I can work outside on our driveway or in the garage on the workbench. The instructions were very helpful in getting up and going.I would recommend this purchase.

Saw is very high quality and works as advertised

This is the best saw on the market hands down. It has exceeded my expectations. You can’t go wrong with the Makita brand power tools. I would highly recommend this product.

I’m a beginner. Works well and powerfull. Calibrating is a process. First time using cutting small pieces there was kickback and blade then didn’t run correctly. loosened blade and tightened and fix the problem. Overall seems to be a good tool.

I did alot of research on this saw before I purchased. There were alot of mixed reviews. The saw was packaged nicely not like some of the earlier models. I think that was the cause of some of the accuracy issues. I spent alot of time squaring the saw up & doing test cuts. It was off slightly. One issue I wasn’t happy with was the upper fence was not flush or 90° with the lower fence. Makita was great and sent me another upper fence and was willing to return for new one. The new fence was the same. I ended up filling down the guide pin & backside of fence until perfect. I love the soft start & direct drive motor. It cuts so smoothly!I found no issues with it cupping or cutting a curve when cutting.

Absolutely LOVE this saw! Very smooth and precise right out of the box. Great deal with four 5ah batteries included.
Obie Olson (verified owner) –
Easy setup. Came with everything well packed. Works great.
Rosie Swift (verified owner) –
It is a good saw, very precise. The negative is the weight, although it is a cordless machine the table is very large and weighs a lot

Purchased this saw to install trim around the house. My old saw worked fine but could not handle 5 1/4 inch trim against fence. This saw was a timer saver. Was square out of the box. Sliding rail is extremely smooth. One of the best features is the electric brake. Blade stops as soon as you release trigger. Minimizes tear out. Got 2 free 5 amp hour batteries on top of battery kit so you can’t beat this deal. This Makita is solid.
