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.

The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.
Rhiannon Langworth (verified owner) –
Every thing I need at the best price
Norberto Brekke (verified owner) –
Strong and sturdy. When stand is collapsed with a miter saw attached it is tipping.
Adaline Legros (verified owner) –
Pretty smooth, but had to adjust the locking brackets.
Lela Upton (verified owner) –
The battery (fuel) gauge is a great upgrade
Audreanne Ondricka (verified owner) –
This is a light duty miter saw. I Like the portability of the unit I wish the extended supports were a little more steady and stronger tightening bolts.
Lane McLaughlin (verified owner) –
Perfect size for fitting into my work SUV.
Glenda Schmeler (verified owner) –
It went together and performed as advertised. No issues.
Clara Schuppe (verified owner) –
Just as I had wanted

Very impressed with this battery’s runtime and power!
Julius Prohaska (verified owner) –
Good product.
Faye Hermann (verified owner) –
Very sturdy and compact.
Joanne Donnelly (verified owner) –
Battery is nice. But it costs 189.00 plus tax for one Battery!

this tool would be a 10/10 however I spent nearly 900$ out the door, got the “kit” , with 2 batteries and a dual charger however there is no option nor does it come with a “power pack” which would go in the battery slots and plug into the wall as an option as opposed to just cordless. It is only cordless which means you should probably have 2 additional extra batteries to charge while 2 are used to run the saw and interchange them as they die. Aside from that I love my saw
