Makita XSS01Z Reviews

Makita XSS01Z 18-volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Circular Saw, 6-1/2-Inch
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 6-1/2″ Circular Saw (model XSS01Z, tool only) combines cordless cutting power with less weight in a compact size. The XSS01Z has a Makita-built high torque motor and a 2″ maximum cutting capacity – the best in its class – making it ideal for woodworkers and finish carpenters. The XSS01Z features a Makita-built high torque motor that produces 3,700 RPM for faster cutting. The saw has a 50 degree maximum bevel cutting capacity and is engineered with a stainless steel base plate for smooth, accurate cutting and added durability. The XSS01Z weighs only 7.6 lbs. (with battery, sold separately) with a more compact design at 14-3/8″ long and an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove for reduced operator fatigue. The XSS01Z is also equipped a built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area for more efficient work, as well as a built-in dust blower to keep the line of cut free of debris. The blade wrench stows away for fast blade changing. The XSS01Z is a light, powerful cordless trim saw ideal for professional woodworkers and finishing carpenters. It’s also great for builders and other pro trades making cuts overhead, in tight spaces, or through light material that does not require a standard size circular saw. (Sold as a Bare Tool)
