Makita has released the new 18V X2 LXT lithium-ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 7-1/2" Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw, model XSL02Z.

 

According to the company, the XSL02Z is the first in the cordless miter saw category to be powered by two 18V lithium-ion batteries. With Makita’s exclusive 18V X2 technology users get 36V power and run-time—without leaving the 18V battery platform. It features an efficient brushless motor that delivers 5,700 RPM.

 

The XSL02Z delivers large dimensional lumber cutting capacity, with 2" x 12" at 90 degrees and 2" x 8" at 45 degrees. The saw has a four steel rail sliding system that increases rigidity and four linear ball bearings to produce smooth, dead-on accurate cuts right out of the box.
