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

Saw is absolutely fantastic. Right out of the box everything was nearly perfectly aligned. Very little adjustment needed. The dust collection is better than other miter saws I’ve used when hooked up to a shop vac. Haven’t tried the dust bag though. 2 5 ah batteries have a longer life than I was expecting. I’m a DIYer So I charge them about once a week so I know they’ll be ready for any big projects. I haven’t tested any large or hardwood lumber but the power is there. The only downside of found with the saw so far is how heavy it is. This is likely just a minor trade off for how many of the parts are metal. The rail design is also a huge plus as my shop is tiny and every square foot is precious.Highly recommend this saw.

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
Stephanie Haag (verified owner) –
Very smooth, batteries last about all day and charge in 45 minutes. I cut and install trim all day. This saw gets it done.
Oral Altenwerth (verified owner) –
Great saw like all makita tools, I’ll recommend to anyone who has makita tools, plenty of power and when full charge it last all day.
Travon Harvey (verified owner) –
Very nice saw. Lots of power and very accurate. Nice space saving design but it’s still a pretty big and heavy saw. Would definitely recommend.
