Makita XSL02Z Review

The Makita XSL02Z 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/2" Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw is built to handle a variety of cutting tasks. Its powerful BL Motor delivers 5,700 RPM for fast cutting, and its 4-Steel Rail Sliding System increases rigidity to produce superior cuts. Plus, its exclusive Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque for optimum performance under load. The saw weighs only 28.2 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for easy portability and has a large dimensional lumber cutting capacity of 2" x 12" at 90Degree and 2" x 8" at 45Degree.

One of the standout features of this saw is its use of two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance. This allows for the saw to provide sufficient power while remaining compatible with Makita 18V LXT batteries. In addition, the efficient BL Brushless Motor ensures that the saw can run all day long on two 5 amp hour batteries, making it a go-to tool for construction jobs. Finally, the thin kerf of the saw does not put much load on the motor.

The Makita XSL02Z 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/2" Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw has received rave reviews from professionals and DIYers alike. Users have praised the saw's accuracy, smoothness, and portability. They have also noted its incredible cut width, with the ability to cross cut a 2"X12" despite its smaller size. The only downside mentioned is that it is not a double-bevel saw, but other than that, users are extremely satisfied with their purchase.
