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 Circular Saw (XSR01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It’s powered by2 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 1 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 2 fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Its part of Makita expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

36 volts gives you all the power you need all day. Great saw
Alfredo Leuschke (verified owner) –
awesome battery ,very powerful. quick recharge rate.i have a medium size yard and front lawn this little thing had no problem whacking those nasty weeds and unwanted growth.plus still had power left over for more.i bought the twin pack thinking i would need the extra one boy was i wrong.
Margarita Ullrich (verified owner) –
Seem very well made and function as expected! Great pack to supplement the the existing tools and keep the job moving!
Horacio Gottlieb (verified owner) –
The saw is very nice easy to handle and needs no electricity (cord) I like it a lot
Willard Brown (verified owner) –
The saw performs beyond my expectations.

Makita really went above and beyond when they designed this beast. Fist off, it’s buikt like a tank. Everything is made from magnesium and cast aluminum except the casing, sobit will take a lot of abuse.It comes with a 24 tooth blade that rips wood like nothing at all. The cuts are always smooth and straight. The added weight of this saw really helps you control it well when cutting.The seph adjustment is easy to adjust, but I really love the bevel adjustments on this saw. They added a secondary positive stop knobs that allows you to automatically stop at 22.5 degrees or 45 degrees without needing to look at the marks every time. It needs to run off of two batteries at the same time, but the 5.0 last a very long time. It even has double battery indicator lights on the top of the saw to show you how much more juice you still have. As for the rear handle, I like these much better than the did wonders as the are more comfortable to use, and are not as wide. I will say that there is a slower build up of power going to the blade than what you would find in an electric saw, but only takes a second to get the full rpm up. This even has a self adjusting motor that will increase power on its own when needed. This should help you save on battery usage.There were a few things that really got to me about this buy. The first is that they give you no bag to keep this in. Makita is usually good about this, but not this time. Another is the saw can take an edge guide, but again Makita did not include it (really Makita??) And the third is there is no place in the saw to store the blade removal wrench. Many other saws, especially in this range has an onboard wrench storage slot.Other than Makita cheating out a bit on accessories, the saw is just plain awesome.

Perfect saw for remodeling homes. Get the 5 amp/hr. Batteries for it. The 3 amp/hr. Batteries aren’t enough to work all day.

Great saw , finally a cordless saw for a professional

This Makita saw had been a bit of a revelation. Coming from a Ryobi entry level circular saw, I didn’t realize how much time I would save by having something that tracked better, cut faster and more accurately and just made the work that much easier. It’s much heavier, though.
Delaney Jaskolski (verified owner) –
I find Makita to be a consistent performer, and for my residential construction business/needs it’s my go to brand and what I reach for most, especially for any task where accuracy and attention to detail are concerned. This saw actually blew me away. It’s extremely light, accurate, and powerful.

Its a really potencial machine
Quincy Kihn (verified owner) –
Very convenient excellent power a little heavy but the convenience is worth it.First job was cutting 6 x 6 timber. No issues at max cut depth and just rolled the timber to get a complete cut
Holly King (verified owner) –
nice product, powerful and last longer, I like it.
Cathryn Fadel (verified owner) –
No issues. performed as described.

Every Makita tool is ergonomically designed and built with quality. I’m smaller than most U.S.Americans. But, I can get BIG jobs done, by using good tools. Makita is my favorite tool maker.
