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 (tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It’s powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36-Volt power and performance, but without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The XSL06Z 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 XSL06Z 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) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8 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 2 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 (batteries not included)
- Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation; reducing saw’s footprint and allowing operation flush against a wall
- In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
- Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance
- 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
- 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 “dead-on” 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

I was always a dewalt miter saw guy but I finally took the plunge and went cordless with the Makita and couldn’t be happier. This saw is powerful, accurate and smooth as glass. The fences are sturdy and easily removable. Pairs great with the delta rolling saw stand. I can be ready to cut anywhere within a minute after rolling up to the jobsite.

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.

This is an amazing saw. With a 10 inch blade this saw has more than enough power for any task you may have.

Excellent saw I recommend

It is a great tool. It’s everything I expected it to be and more. I can’t wait to use it more in the future.

Saul works great have it mounted in my trailer no reason to get out a power cord now great for installing doors and just when you need a couple cuts on a small job

It’s a very good saw and no problem with it.

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

The 36 has comparable power to a corded. Typical Makita quality.
Devan Lang (verified owner) –
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

Amazing saw with exceptional power. From hardwoods to softer dimensional lumber, this saw powers through it all. Stock blade is decent but I always prefer diablo blades. Saw was pretty accurate out of the box but I did have to adjust it slightly .

I was never tought I say like this, but I enjoy work with it.

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.

Too Good! Nice machine

Best investment in a compound miter saw I have ever made. Exceeds expectations.
Bianka Renner (verified owner) –
I really love this saw. It’s very smooth and easy to use. It didn’t come true out of the box, so I had to dial it in a little, but it seems like it cuts straight now. The only reason why I’m giving this 4 stars is because Makita should give us the option to install their bluetooth transmitter into this for their cordless dust collector. For now, I have to always remember to turn on my vacuum.

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.
