Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (XSR01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It’s powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XSR01Z as they use across the expansive Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01Z has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. Users of leading corded saws will appreciate the blade-left rear-handle design. The electronically-controlled brushless motor delivers a full 5,100 RPM for efficient cutting. In internal testing, the XSR01Z made up to 558 cross-cuts per charge in 2×4 SPF lumber using two fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16 in. cutting capacity at 90° that will cut 3X lumber in a single pass and an electric brake for maximum productivity.

I haven’t tested it yet. IT came with no batteries. I Will have to wait until heating them. By itself, it is a good quality product.

Great saw , finally a cordless saw for a professional

Dont have that much experience with circular saws but i can say i got strait cuts with ease from start to finnishing my project. The only setback is that it is trully bare. I was hoping it came with guide attachment, its a metal rod you put on side. A video link of instructions would be appreciated.

After months of debate between the Dewalt 60vFlexvolt and this saw I bought the Makita. I am VERY glad I did. After using it the last 3 days on 142 sheets of 7/16′ OSB, I can tell you OFFICIALLY that it will cut over 491 linear feet of saw kerf, (236″ x 25 sheets) on one battery charge!! This is with the 5.0 Ah batteries. (I’m ordering the 6.0 Ah batteries soon!) I could work almost 3 hours straight, charge while at lunch and do it over again in the afternoon. Outstanding! I also took a narrow paint pen and filled in the front inch divisers in the shoe and painted the Zero cut mark RED for easy sighting. One of the negatives that everybody mentioned was no place to put the blade wrench. I solved that problem by bending the end of the wrench 90 degrees, drilling a hole in that end and fastening it to the fence hole with a short 6mm hex head screw, which will ALSO double as the fence screw should I use one. At one point my batteries died just before I had finished a load and had to drag out the corded saw. I was cussing that cord in five minutes, (LOL!) after being cord, “FREE” for so long! This is a GREAT saw that will work like a champ in any application. BUY IT!

Lucky you only had 1 left. Love it because I just purchased 2 6.0 batteries and this came in handy for recharging. As you know the project hasto go on, so when 1 battery runs out there’s always a backup. Will probably get another one sometime this year.

Great saw. The makita line is starting to grow on me I’m looking forward to the new stuff they are coming out with.
Vesta Ledner (verified owner) –
this saw is a Ferrari of saws. As a pro customer of home depot, we love makita tools. The build quality is excellent. We are a general contractor and we use the on a daily basis. Definitely recommend it.

I already had a single charger with the Makita set I bought several years ago. It makes recharging multiple batteries at the same time more cost-effective, without having to stop work.

Excellent saw with great battery life.

This saw is awesome if you are in need of a cordless Framing saw. Tons of power, good design and weight balance, is also much quieter than corded versions and batteries last all day on the job site. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy, if it had a light I would have gave it 5 stars
