Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology and miter saw innovation and has combined this expertise in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. 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 direct drive gearbox with soft start is a key point of difference. Direct drive enables smoother start-ups and consistent, constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience. Additional features include a high-quality 60T carbide-tipped blade, built-in laser that indicates the line-of-cut, and improved dust collection capability for use with a bag (included) or vacuum (sold separately). It also has a large-sized aluminum base that improves the stability of cutting stock for more efficient cutting.

Perfect size for fitting into my work SUV.
Quinten Blanda (verified owner) –
Not sturdy. Wheels are not of good quality.
Alessandra Ankunding (verified owner) –
Strong and sturdy. When stand is collapsed with a miter saw attached it is tipping.
Modesto Weimann (verified owner) –
Good drill for price
Clark Gottlieb (verified owner) –
It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.
Carolyne Sanford (verified owner) –
Perfect complement to my Makita miter saw. Very solid and well made.
Kiana Weber (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quickly and gives them a full charge.

Stand was super easy to assemble and fitting my Ryobi 12” compound sliding miter saw was a snap with no modifications needed. Have now used it yet but it seems to meet my needs well.
Janelle Ruecker (verified owner) –
This is a light duty miter saw. I Like the portability of the unit I wish the extended supports were a little more steady and stronger tightening bolts.
Giles O’Conner (verified owner) –
Lasts a long time. Compatible with other Makita tool I have. Easy to use. Charges quickly.
Dario Wisoky (verified owner) –
Pretty good

Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.
Petra Mosciski (verified owner) –
Works great with all my tools. Versatility and longevity of battery life is a “+” (pardon the pun!).
Timothy Osinski (verified owner) –
The battery (fuel) gauge is a great upgrade
Robin Koss (verified owner) –
Makita one of the best quality tools out there
Thomas Sanford (verified owner) –
After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes.Highly recommend!

Great stand. A little small for the Makita 12″ sliding miter saw.
Paris Renner (verified owner) –
The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.

Product came defective, I had to fix myself, Home Depot should refund me some money. Product works good now that I fixed it.
