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).
- 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 motor delivers 4,800 RPM for fast and smooth cutting
- 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 2×4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2×12 SPF lumber using two 5.0Ah batteries
- Largest crown molding cutting capacity in its 10 in. miter saw class, cutting up to 6-5/8 in. vertically nested
- Large dimensional lumber cutting capacity: 2-13/16 in. x 12 in. at 90 and 2-13/16 in. x 8-1/2 in. at 45
- Miters 0-60 left and right; bevels 0-48 left and right
- Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation; reducing saw’s footprint and allowing for operation flush against a wall
- Positive miter stops at: 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45 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 blade is turning or not; on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise “left-of-blade” or “right-of-blade” cutting
- Linear ball bearing system engineered to deliver accurate cuts
- Large-sized aluminum base improves stability of material for efficient cutting
- Electric brake for maximum productivity
- Direct drive gearbox for increased cutting efficiency and reduced maintenance
- Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
- In-front bevel lock for convenient operation

Great saw. Only needed to adjust bevel about 1 degree. Miter angle at all detents did not need adjustment

Love it. Cuts amazingly!

Very powerful and cut very smoothly. Perfect for precision cut for crown moulding, trim, and cabinetry. Lightweight, easy to carry.

I love it. It cuts just as fast or faster than my corded 12″ Dewalt miter saw and very accurate. The Batteries last a full 8hr day of continuous cutting and still had some life to spare. Great tool!!

Very smooth, batteries last about all day and charge in 45 minutes. I cut and install trim all day. This saw gets it done.

It is a great tool. It’s everything I expected it to be and more. I can’t wait to use it more in the future.

It’s a very good saw and no problem with it.

Got this unit on sale, it is awesome ! Great power, awesome features. Think about getting the vaccum trigger to control the vacuum remotely. I didn’t and now I regret not getting that option.

A great saw with lots of cool features. I love that the miter base swings to 60 degrees in both directions!Haven’t tried the laser yet, but the saw itself is accurate and runs for a long time on the 18V batteries.My only wish would be that it came with a cord so you had the option of plugged-in or battery operation.

Saul works great have it mounted in my trailer no reason to get out a power cord now great for installing doors and just when you need a couple cuts on a small job
