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.

Makita one of the best quality tools out there

Good drill for price
Laverna Jerde (verified owner) –
Easy set-up, nice finish, readily adjustable side supports. One leg appears to telescope to help level it (had not yet tried), though having more legs with that feature would help on very uneven terrain.

Great value

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.
Dulce Price (verified owner) –
It’s light and easy to put it together
Russ Borer (verified owner) –
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.
Trent Schuster (verified owner) –
Very smooth running. Works well.
Berniece McCullough (verified owner) –
Works great with all my tools. Versatility and longevity of battery life is a “+” (pardon the pun!).
Nick Wolf (verified owner) –
This is my husband’s favorite drill. I bought him the 5.0Ah battery and he loves the extended time, not having to stop to charge it is a game changer.
Theresa Blick (verified owner) –
Excellent Makita quality….sturdy, easy to use.
Thalia Heathcote (verified owner) –
The stand is ok. They sent me 2 left handed locking devices for my saw. No way to change it on my end. Too long of lead time for shipping to deal with it now. Have too much work!!
Albert Bruen (verified owner) –
Awesome
Hilda Franecki (verified owner) –
Makita does it again. This well made and well designed saw stand is strong and simple to assemble.

Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.

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
