Circular Saw – Makita 18-Volt 7-1/4 in. X2 LXT Brushless Circular Saw

Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit (XSH06Z). Its powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately) for maximum performance and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. The XSH06Z has a long-list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. The electronically-controlled brushless motor delivers a full 6,000 RPM for efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust the cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. In internal testing, the XSH06Z made up to 610 cross-cuts per charge in 2×4 SPF lumber and up to 320 crosscuts per charge in 2X10 SPF lumber using 2 fully-charged 5.0 Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-5/8 in. cutting capacity at 90° and an electric brake for maximum productivity. Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
