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

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

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

Very powerfulThe 36v Miter Saw cuts quick and clean with no hesitation. I picked up the Makita compact folding miter saw stand as well.They look straight up clean AF together.It did take me a while to setup the saw and stand.All in all it was a great purchase, and they threw in another 2 – 5.0 18v batteriesAll together the package came with the saw, 4 – 5.0 18v batteries & the double charger for 400$

Nice saw but much too heavy to carry from Job site to job site. Also the system to mount the saw to the saw stand is not user friendly.

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

The saw is amazing but Home Depot has terrible online coordinating and it takes forever to get customer service. But they pay people the bare minimum so I don’t expect otherwise

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.

Had to jump through hoops to get the extra two batteries that where advertised

I purchased this saw from Home Depot online primarily because I needed a good but light weight saw that I can lift onto a work bench or load into my truck to transport. I am an “older” do-it-yourself carpenter. When the box arrived for pickup at Home Depot, it was obvious that this tool is a heavy beast. HD website description: The Home Depot “Product Overview” description states “a compact and portable design that weighs only 27.3 lbs (with battery). When you go to the “Specifications” page, it shows a weight of 44 lbs (so maybe the 17 lb difference is the carton and extra batteries that came with the promotion?)Makita website description: Features: Weighs 60.6 lbs with batteries. Shipping weight: 80.483 lbs. Bottom line — the Home Depot description is terribly wrong and needs to be fixed. I returned it to my local Home Depot, which was done easily other than having to lift this beast onto a hand truck and my wife helping me lift the box into my pickup truck. I have now ordered a new Milwaukee cordless miter saw which is supposed to weigh 45 lbs. Fingers crossed when it arrives next week!
