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. This Promotion also comes with a bonus XVJ03Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw, Tool Only.

Easy to use, not much vibration. I am glad I bought it

This is the best jigsaw I have used so far. It has a lot of power and the light helps a lot.

I really like the feel of this tool while cutting and easy to change blade.

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.

A great jigsaw in Makita’s LXT line. I am a hobbiest woodworker and my current project is a retro mid-century record console. My old skill jig saw was on its last legs so I decided to go with this model. Wow! I love this jigsaw. Easy to use and with good blades I am getting great cuts. Kicking myself for not upgrading years ago. Highly recommend this jigsaw.

I have a few other Makita Tools, they all work great. This Jigsaw was perfect for small projects at home.

IMHO, this is a GREAT tool. It has a nice, hefty, quality feel to it, and it isn’t “too” heavy with battery in place.I purchased it in order to cut some 1″ X 3″ hard (and I mean HARD!) wood at an angle. The adjustable sole plate worked to perfection. On straight cuts, the blade didn’t “wobble” or “veer”, so my straight cuts were….STRAIGHT! As far as I know this is the only 18V MAKITA that has a blade light, and the light made the job that much easier. This saw also has a “quick blade release”, so the blades are not the “usual’ jig-saw blade. They have a “T”-shaped shank that locks them in with the quick release…a NICE feature.Finally, this saw is NOT a “brushless” tool. All of the others in the 18V line ARE. Personally, I don’t consider this to be a problem, but I’m an “Old Guy”, and I am used to “Old Guy Tools”.In summary, a nice tool and a nice, versatile, addition to my 18V set.

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.

Powerful and sturdy, this is another great addition to our Makita battery tools. I replaced an older, corded jigsaw, and can see a huge improvement.

It’s heavier than expected, but feel solid/built like a rock. It’s a Makita!

Best jig saw I’ve ever had

A nice addition to my Makita set. A little heavier than I expected. The trigger is variable speed which I don’t think I read in the description. They’ve improved the blade release also.
