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 (XSL08PT), AWS and Laser. 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 5.0Ah 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 XSL08PT also features Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The XSL08PT 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 (6-3/4 in.), crown molding cutting capacity (8 in. nested), and 15 in. crosscuts at 90°. This Promotion also comes with a bonus WST06 Compact Folding Miter Saw Stand.

Product came defective, I had to fix myself, Home Depot should refund me some money. Product works good now that I fixed it.

charges very quickly. And I love the USB port

Great stand. A little small for the Makita 12″ sliding miter saw.
Elvis Upton (verified owner) –
Works great. Charges different batteries at different times which works out great. Doesn’t over heat the other battery when charging.

Best quality ever. Holds its charge.

After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes.Highly recommend!

Pretty good

Easy to assemble

This thing rips and is super accurate. Love not having to worry about a cord so I can run this saw up at my cabin where there’s no electricity.

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.

Works as advertised. Never have problems with it. I have both OEM batteries as well as aftermarket and both get the quick charge I need and expect.
Makenzie Boehm (verified owner) –
Works Great!
Ignatius Schulist (verified owner) –
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.
Adeline Beahan (verified owner) –
So far so good! Well built and sturdy and works perfectly with my Makita miter saw. Not too heavy but heavy enough to not shift during use. Definitely recommend it!

Stand was super easy to assemble and fitting my Ryobi 12” compound sliding miter saw was a snap with no modifications needed. Have now used it yet but it seems to meet my needs well.
