Makita XPS01Z 36V LXT Brushless 6-1/2 Plunge Circular Saw for Professionals

The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw Kit (XPS01Z, tool only; batteries and charger sold separately) offers enhanced precision and accuracy, especially when paired with an optional guide rail system (sold separately). This combination facilitates clean cuts with minimal tear-out, making it a reliable choice for professionals.

At the heart of this saw is a robust Makita-built Brushless motor, which draws power from two 18V LXT batteries. The saw is equipped with automatic speed change technology that dynamically adjusts both cutting speed and torque during the operation to ensure optimal performance. A variable speed control dial ranging from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM enhances its adaptability across various materials. Added conveniences such as a soft start feature and an electric brake contribute to its user-friendly design.

The saw boasts an impressive cutting capacity of 2-3/16” at 90 degrees, along with bevel cutting capabilities that range from -1° to 48°. It also includes positive stops at 22.5° and 45°, providing versatility for different cutting scenarios. When utilized with the accompanying rail system (sold separately), this plunge circular saw serves as a lightweight and portable alternative to traditional table saws, making it ideal for both job sites and workshops.

As part of Makita's expansive 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool ecosystem powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, this saw benefits from Makita’s focus on efficiency and power. The 18V Lithium-Ion batteries are notably fast-charging, ensuring that users spend more time working and less time waiting for their tools to recharge.

To further enhance tool performance and extend battery longevity, Makita incorporates Star Protection Computer Controls. This advanced communication technology facilitates real-time data exchange between the tool and the battery, monitoring usage conditions to safeguard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For added flexibility, the tool is compatible with Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries that feature the Star symbol, indicating the presence of this protective technology.

The dual LXT battery setup not only simplifies the hassle of cords but also elevates power, speed, and runtime—the combination of power and portability that professionals seek. The electronically controlled BL Brushless motor allows the saw to reach speeds of up to 6,300 RPM, providing maximum performance while achieving up to 50% longer runtime per charge.

Designed specifically for cutting large wood panels and various wood materials, this plunge saw excels in confining work areas, streamlining tasks that would typically require bulkier equipment. The kit includes essential components such as a 6-1/2" 55T C.T. cordless plunge saw blade, ideal for cutting through wood, MDF, and laminate materials (B-57071), as well as a hex wrench (783203-8).

In summary, the Makita 18V X2 LXT Brushless 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw kit stands out for its performance, efficiency, and innovative features, making it an essential addition to any serious tradesperson's collection.
