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.

Really nicely designed tool. I bought because I needed to cut a hole for sink in a counter top. Turned it helped with about five other projects in the month since I bought it. I have used Makita tools – drills chainsaws sawzall etc for years. Very happy with this one.

What I was looking for

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.
Domingo Hyatt (verified owner) –
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

The saw has a pretty good run time for being cordless. Works as I expected it would, cuts great, has a plastic attachment for cutting on sure surfaces without marring.
Berniece Gottlieb (verified owner) –
A little heavier than I expected but works amazing. Very happy with this purchase.

I purchased this under a Makita promotion with two batteries. I own two Festool jigsaws one with a top handle and theother a barrel grip. I have been “cutting the cord” as much as possible and wanted an affordable saw and I know Makitamakes excellent tools. This saw actually cuts smoother then my Festool but admittedly does not have all of the features like a zero clearance blade guard and dust collection. Having said that it is hands down the best cordless jigsaw for themoney. I’m sure their brushless version is more powerful but unless use are hogging through eight quarter maple thenI don’t see a need to spend the additional hundred dollars.
