Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation. This combined expertise resulted in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 12 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit with Laser (XSL07PT). It’s powered by two 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries for 36-Volt power and performance, but without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform. X2 LXT technology delivers increased power, speed, and run time, without the hassles of a cord. Get up to 175 cuts per charge in 2×12 SPF lumber with two 5.0 Ah batteries. The efficient BL Brushless Motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life and delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and smoother cutting. The XSL07PT also features Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The XSL07PT 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.

Love it. Cuts anything you put to the test. Not sure of battery life but a Makita will last and last. All my other 18vdc Makita tools last as long as I cut and drill. I’m sure this will. Recommend.
Lurline Kilback (verified owner) –
One of the best tool purchases that I have ever made.
Lonie Herzog (verified owner) –
Best jig saw I’ve ever had
Clarabelle Altenwerth (verified owner) –
It performs as a PRO!
Ari Gislason (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.
Myron Block (verified owner) –
I really like the feel of this tool while cutting and easy to change blade.
Foster Goyette (verified owner) –
Like the saw but removed the clear plate around the blade because it blocked the view of the line as sawdust built up..
Elda Marquardt (verified owner) –
Best quality ever. Holds its charge.
Coy Corkery (verified owner) –
Works great. Could be better with reduced vibration.

Like many, good price when “free” with the 5 amp, 2-battery and charger starter kits this Christmas. I was adding system batteries and replacing my old Sears 4-amp orbital saw, for Santa! I RTFM so found the hidden bevel hex key, but, think the Dewalt had a better idea as to using a lever. But… the hex key makes for way cleaner design. First time user using the T-blades, love it, fast and simple. Nice that a few starter blades were included, but slight take away that dust collector, hard case and guide not included with this expensive saw. That hard case is included with cheap starter drills so scratching my head over that decision. All in all the Makita is a big all around improvement over old pot metal, twin set-screw, (now stripped) blade holder on Sears saw.

The saw works excellent. I have several Makita 18 volt tools but this is my first cordless jig saw. So much less trouble not getting a cord to plug an A.C. powered saw in.

Service was great and Carl was fast and very nice and even loaded my purchase. Great job Carl!!

Battery is nice. But it costs 189.00 plus tax for one Battery!

I was sorely tempted to splurge and get the Makita brushless jigsaw (currently $269), but grabbed the special offer to get the LXT jigsaw free with purchase of 5.0Ah batteries and charger (currently $199). Cordless saws are Makitas wheelhouse, and this tool lives up to reputation. Feels solid in hand, good ergonomics, consistent power, and easy blade changes. Corded jigsaws are much cheaper, but I am glad I finally went cordless.

Picked this up to replace my old corded Bosch. The conveyance of no cord is great. Been happy with all my Makita 18-Volt tools.
Percy Bogisich (verified owner) –
Haven’t use it yet but I’m a faithful makita guy
Andrew Rosenbaum (verified owner) –
Great tool. Makita makes a great product. Not as powerful as expected. There’s no real noticible difference between this and 12v jigsaw I bought this to replace, which is also half the size.
Aileen Jacobi (verified owner) –
I have not tried it as of now but the fact is no cord
Fredrick Wintheiser (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.
