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.
- Powered by 2 LXT batteries, X2LXT 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; reduced saw footprint allows 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
- WST06 – compact and lightweight aluminum tubular design for job site portability; weighs only 33.7 lbs.
- WST06 – large solid rubber wheels and side handle allow the stand with miter saw attached to be easily transported around the job site (miter saw not included)

Works great. Charges different batteries at different times which works out great. Doesn’t over heat the other battery when charging.
Nathan Friesen (verified owner) –
They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.
Newton Greenholt (verified owner) –
Very sturdy and compact.
Art Tromp (verified owner) –
Pretty smooth, but had to adjust the locking brackets.
Reyna Lakin (verified owner) –
The battery so far has meet my expectations
Alejandrin O’Hara (verified owner) –
The stand itself is great, but the hardware that mounts the saw onto it is really bad. The saw is heavy and when you try to mount it onto the stand you have to literally wrestle with it. Then you lock the saw to the stand. To remove the saw it becomes a new battle. That system needs to change in my view. There are many out there that function just fine and this one needs work.

Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power
Kylie Daniel (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quick, easy to use, reasonably priced. While working I always have one battery charging and ready to go to work.
Alan Muller (verified owner) –
It went together and performed as advertised. No issues.
Dena Stokes (verified owner) –
Works Great!
Jay Fay (verified owner) –
Very smooth running. Works well.
Brandi Kunde (verified owner) –
Quick, powerful, and built with quality. All you can ask for!
Laurianne Wunsch (verified owner) –
Every thing I need at the best price

The bracket that the saw mounts to one of the hooks is in the back the other side is in the front so that the locking lever is outside the saw. that seems strange. also locks do not swing to locked symbol. it only moves a little bit. other than that it seems very stable.
