Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation and has combined this expertise in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. 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 in.) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8 in. nested), the largest in its class. 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 two 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 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother 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
- 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°
- Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation; reducing saw’s footprint and allowing for operation flush against a wall
- In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
- Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance
- Miters 0-60° left and right; bevels 0-48° left and right
- Positive miter stops at: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left or right
- Integrated 4-3/4 in. tall 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 motor for increased cutting efficiency and reduced maintenance
- Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life

Bought this saw to bevel 10 scrip and 6 inch crown, and boy did this tool amaze me, I will say I love makita everything, that’s all I buy, but this saw is just so powerful, precise, and just gives you this feeling no other tool will, it’s accurate, the laser is spot on ande the blade it comes with is surprisingly very good, cuts like butter thru ANYTHING and last me at least 3 days of all day use, don’t doubt on buying it, there is no better miter saw out there other then maybe the 12 inch version, Makita did their job on this one.

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.

Very happy with the product as I knew I would be. Unfortunately the box was in bad condition when it arrived. A plastic part was broken. After having no luck contacting customer service I chose to order a replacement part and made the repair myself. I received another tool in the mail today. I am surprised there was anything in the box considering how badly it was damaged (and clearly opened at some point). Fortunately it was not broken or missing anything. It is unlikely I will order anything to be shipped from Home Depot again.

No cords! Maple cutsLike butter! Perfect cuts all the time! A little heavy but carries easy Lots of cuts before battery change. Great tool

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.

The cuts are very smooth and accurate. Everything on this saw is nothing less than perfection. The dual batteries last me a week. Expected all my exception. I highly recommend this saw.

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.
Presley Schaden (verified owner) –
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.

Absolutely LOVE this saw! Very smooth and precise right out of the box. Great deal with four 5ah batteries included.
