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.

Great saw cuts straight and the batteries last a long time

Works great! Charges two batteries in the time my old charger did one. The USB port is a nice touch.

Battery life was terrible even with two batteries

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!

Excellent saw with great battery life.
Braxton Ullrich (verified owner) –
this is a well-balanced tool and superior to the single battery model which I already owned. Would love to see a metal shoe instead of plastic the depth and angle adjustment are easily accessed. I do like the rafter hook.

Great saw. The makita line is starting to grow on me I’m looking forward to the new stuff they are coming out with.
Vince Marvin (verified owner) –
Great addition for portability, without hassle of overloaded circuits on new construction etc. Saw is heavy although that can be expected with its abilities.
Asia Weimann (verified owner) –
The new 5.0 batteries have excellent run time with my Makita tools.
Myrna Olson (verified owner) –
Fast and easy also the best price that I had found

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
