It's powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT® platform. Makita Brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The Xsl06 has an efficient BL™ Brushless motor that delivers up to 4, 400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with automatic speed Change™ technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The Xsl06 has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and Dead-On accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4”) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8” nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4x12 at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60° (left or right). the bevel Lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and Quick adjustments from 0° to 48° (left and right). the direct drive gearbox with soft start is a key point of difference. Direct drive enables smoother start-ups and consistent, Constant power with No belts to slip or replace. The Electric brake provides added convenience. Additional features include a high-quality 60T carbide-tipped blade, built-in laser that indicates the line-of-cut, and improved dust Collection capability for use with a bag (included) or vacuum (sold separately). it also has a large-sized aluminum base that improves the stability of cutting stock for more efficient cutting it’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star protection Computer controls™. Star protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol on the battery indicating Star protection inside.

Great saw. Cuts fantastic. True and accurate. I love the batteries. Matches my other Makita LXT tools. One down side is I had to make an adapter for my vacuum so it would fit the dust collector. They could have easily included an adapter but it is sold separately for some reason. I have mine mounted to the Makita stand and it looks great. If you are into the LXT system it is worth considering this saw. Update after having it for several months and using it for a varity of tasks I have to say that it works great. I did buy a Makita horizontal work clamp and it was very handy holding material I cut to make dados. I wish they would make the depth adjustment screw longer to allow adjustment over the full working height of the blade. I was able to easily modify it for the project. Unfortunately it seems Makita stopped making the crown molding jigs for this saw. In their defense the saw can make any compound cut so all need to do is brush up on my math and cut crown flat on the table the correct way instead of using a jig to hold it at an angle. Cuts 3/4 walnut like butter. Tip to anyone who is worried about not having AWS on this saw to control the vacuum. If you are using it in the shop hook up an Alexa enabled plug and an echo dot and you have voice controlled dust collection. “Alexa, turn on the vacuum†or for the non-adventurous types I guess you can just press the button on the shop vac, but what fun is that?

SICK MITER SAW!! cuts very accurate, and the batteries last a really long time!! i'm glad i got it. now there is sawdust friggin' everywhere, but that's what happens when you cut wood, especially with no real dust collection. the bag works ok i guess (there's always sawdust in it), but obviously it would work much better if i used a vacuum. no fault of the saw though.despite being battery powered, i wouldn't really say it's portable though. it's pretty heavy (about 65 pounds i think) and pretty big too, but what i needed it for was a small work area with a pretty limited electrical setup. the charger certainly won't trip any breakers, and if i always keep a couple of batteries on the charger, i can use this all day with no tripped breakers. depending what you cut and how often the batteries can last all day easily.the forward sliding mechanism is awesome too, because i have a pretty narrow work area and i can keep this almost against the wall!that and not tripping breakers are my reasons for buying this and i don't regret it one bit!

A very good and capable rendition of a 10" Makita corded version. This will handle anything the corded version can, and with ease. If you are a fan of Makita tools, this will not disappoint you. Capable of being fine-tuned to zero tolerances with a little effort. If you need to cut the cord, this will do the job for you. It is not a compact tool, it is a full sized saw with plenty of weight and heft for the big jobs too. If you get the Makita WTSO6 saw horse type stand, it compliments this saw very well. This should be a carpenter's first choice all around saw.I might suggest, that if you can buy this saw in person at a big box store at a good price, it might be a safer way to purchase it. This saw was shipped to me (UPS) in its factory retail carton and the box really took a severe beating getting to me; I thought for sure the saw inside would be damaged, but it seemed to have survived ok.

The saw is awesome, I’ve used Makita tools for over 40 years now. Most of my original tools still work. This saw has great capacity and is accurate at cuts close to the fence. Further out the slide the angle changes about 2 or 3 degrees. . My biggest complaint is that it came damaged and I didn’t get satisfaction from the company I purchased from.
