Makita XPS01PTJ 18V X2 Brushless Cordless 6-1/2 Plunge Circular Saw Kit for Professionals

The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw Kit (XPS01PTJ) is an outstanding tool for achieving precise and accurate cuts, especially when paired with an optional guide rail system (available separately). This combination ensures that the saw and rail system work in harmony, delivering clean cuts with minimal tear-out. The power behind this impressive tool comes from a Makita-built Brushless motor, which operates on two 18V LXT batteries. The saw is equipped with automatic speed change technology, intelligently adjusting cutting speed and torque during use for optimal performance.

With a variable speed control dial ranging from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM, this plunge circular saw offers a soft start feature and an electric brake, adding significant convenience to your cutting tasks. It boasts an impressive cutting capacity of 2-3/16” at a 90-degree angle and allows for bevel cuts ranging from -1° to 48°, with positive stops at both 22.5° and 45°. When utilized with a rail system, the plunge circular saw serves as a more portable alternative to a traditional table saw, making it ideal for both job site applications and workshop tasks.

Included in the kit are two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, which benefit from the efficiency of the Rapid Optimum Charger, achieving a full charge in just 45 minutes—the quickest charging time in its category—ultimately reducing downtime and enhancing productivity. For user convenience, each battery comes with an integrated LED charge level indicator. This tool is a part of Makita’s extensive 18V Lithium-Ion system, recognized as the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita's batteries are noted for their rapid charge times, allowing them to spend more time operational and less time on the charger.

To enhance tool performance and extend battery lifespan, Makita has incorporated Star Protection Computer Controls. This advanced communication technology facilitates real-time data exchange between Star Protection-equipped tools and batteries, monitoring usage conditions to guard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For additional versatility, the tool is compatible with other Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries that bear the Star symbol, indicating built-in Star protection.

Utilizing two LXT batteries, the X2 LXT technology provides increased power, speed, and runtime without the inconveniences of a cord. The electronically controlled BL Brushless motor is engineered to deliver up to 6,300 RPM, ensuring maximum performance and offering up to 50% longer runtime per charge. The automatic speed change technology ensures that both cutting speed and torque are optimized throughout the cutting process. Additionally, the tool features close-to-wall cutting capability (11/16"), further expanding its cutting applications.

In summary, the Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw Kit stands out with its advanced technology, power, and versatility, making it an essential tool for professionals and DIYers alike.
