Makita XPS01Z 36V LXT Brushless 6-1/2 Plunge Circular Saw, Tool Only

The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw Kit (XPS01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) offers enhanced cutting precision and accuracy when used in conjunction with an optional guide rail system (sold separately). This combination ensures minimal tear-out, delivering clean and precise cuts.

Powered by a robust Makita-built Brushless motor and two 18V LXT batteries, the saw features Automatic Speed Change technology, which dynamically adjusts cutting speed and torque during operation for optimal efficiency. It boasts a variable speed control dial ranging from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM, complete with soft start and an Electric Brake for added user convenience.

With a substantial 2-3/16” cutting capacity at 90 degrees and a bevel capacity of -1° to 48°, including positive stops at 22.5° and 45°, the saw is versatile for various cutting applications. When paired with a rail system (sold separately), it offers a more portable alternative to a table saw, making it suitable for both job site and workshop environments.

Part of Makita’s expansive 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool lineup powered by slide-style batteries, the saw benefits from Makita’s rapid-charging 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. These batteries ensure minimal downtime, optimizing work efficiency.

To enhance tool performance and battery longevity, Makita has integrated Star Protection Computer Controls. This technology facilitates real-time communication between the tool and battery, monitoring conditions during use to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For added versatility, the tool can utilize Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries equipped with Star protection. The inclusion of two LXT batteries under the X2 LXT technology provides increased power, speed, and runtime, eliminating the constraints of a cord (batteries not included).

Key features include: - Makita-built BL Brushless motor delivering 6,300 RPM for maximum performance and 50% longer runtime per charge. - Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque for optimal performance. - Variable speed control dial (2,500 - 6,300 RPM) ensures efficient cutting in various materials. - Ideal for cutting large wood panels and other materials in tight spaces. - Includes 6-1/2" 55T C.T. Cordless Plunge Saw Blade (B-57071) and Hex Wrench (783203-8).

In summary, the Makita XPS01Z Plunge Circular Saw Kit combines advanced brushless motor technology, precise cutting capabilities, and compatibility with Makita’s extensive battery system, making it a versatile choice for professional woodworking applications.
