Makita is the innovation leader in Brushless motor technology, and the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless cordless 6-1/2" Circular saw (model XSH03Z, Tool only, battery and charger sold separately) combines power and run-time for faster cutting and ripping - without the cord.

The Makita BL Brushless motor is engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life.

Style: Bare Tool, no battery
I've got 4 of them. Every guy in my crew wants one. Had my first brushless version for a long time, used every day. Then I backed over it with my dually... Hmmmm.. whoops! Guess what, still worked! (Ya, we tried!) But the plate was all crooked... So I gave it to the new kid so I could yell at him for not being able to cut straight... Ha! At any rate- second one I had, someone on the crew did something to it.. hopefully not run over it with a truck... There's a small piece of metal that attaches the plate to the handle. It's at the back of the saw. Some how, some one dropped it just right and it bent ever so slightly so that Now This One Didn't Cut Straight Either! So I take it to the tool guy. Nope. Can't fix it. It's the older model... I'll look for the model number and update this posting when I get a hot minute.. not THAT old, couldn't be cuz I just bought it. At any rate- so I bought two more!! It's that good!! Second bent plate model goes with the framing crew. ... Let's be honest.. framers cant cut straight any way.. HA! So, long story short- cuts perfect. Lots of power. Use it every day, all day. Smooth as butter with the variable motor speed. Little LED light is hella cool, way better then cutting in the shadows. Very light weight. Rafter clip rules- ESPECIALLY, especially -pro tip here- for holding the blade guard back when cutting at an angle or dropping in... As long as your not dropping in to your thigh like my plumber.... Stupid plumbers... Last note- one of my guys got a Milwaukee, which, yes is quality, but the mark on the plate for where the blade is gonna cut... WAY off! Makita cordless circ- better than red, better then yellow. Last, last note- don't take my ramblings to infer defective dohicky that attaches back of plate to handle.. just the opposite. We abuse these bastards, day in day out. ... show more

    • Far superior to other Makita models... Superb, well thought out design touches.
Style: Bare Tool, no battery
I've used 4 different Makita 6.5" circular saw models on the job site and can confidently say that this unit (XSH03Z) is far and wide better than the rest. Biggest pluses are: 1) Brushless motor - runs cooler, longer battery life, and translates in to more power. 2) LED illumination - just enough additional light to ensure the cut is on point. 3) 5,000 RPM with automatic torque converter - This extra speed makes a surprising amount of difference compared to the 3,000-4,000 RPM models. The blades cut far smoother and there is far less tear out from your material. It makes a battery powered saw cut and feel like a high power corded saw. The automatic torque adjuster kicks in should your material be extra tough...it drops the RPM's down but kicks up the torque to prevent bogging down / binding. Very nice touch! 4) 45 degree lock on the bevel - there is a nice flip down tab that allows quick adjustment to a rock solid 45 degree bevel cut... As opposed to eyeballing where the 45-degree mark actually is. Nice time saver that ensures consistency. 5) Brake - the automatically engaging blade brake that kicks in after the trigger is released is a wonderful plus. Once you have that feature, you'll never go back. As for negatives, for the price & class of the saw, there really are next to none. However, here are the couple that stick out: 1) for a saw that costs in the 175-200 range, it is a bit ridiculous they don't include the $13 Makita 164095-8 Rip Fence with it. It's not a critical accessory by any means, but it's sometimes nice to have and worth the ten bucks or so. 2) I wish this model had the blower that puffed air by the front area of the blade to improve visibility (like the finish saw model). Not a big issue, but would be nice. In summary, this is a first rate saw in its class. Other than this item, the next real step-up is the Festool track saw (which I own & love like no other)... however, this saw & vacuum combo runs in the $1,500 range and is like comparing apples to oranges. ... show more

Review Image by Ron Killian Ron Killian
I've been a Makita fan for some time, building up my 18v collection, so this was a no brainer. Not to mention the price was the best I found any where. I had some batteries, but bought a new 4Ah battery just for this saw. Good enough reason to buy a new battery, right? Can never have enough. The last cordless saw I used was my dads old 19.2 volt craftsman, and that one was "okay", nothing spectacular. So I was a little hesitant when it comes to cordless saws. Boy was I wrong and missing out. Why did I want so long? Can't say I've used it too much, but everything I cut, it's been very powerful. Lately I've been breaking down some 3/4 MDF sheets and it cuts through it like nothing. No bogging down, just cuts right through, and this is with the stock blade, which makes a pretty smooth cut. I also love the dust collection port, that works very well. Cutting the MDF, there was no dust around, or very little. Works surprising well. Best yet, my hose hooks up nicely. Since buying this saw, I have not used my old corded Makita 7 1/4" circular. Haven't needed it. Plus the old saw has NO dust collection. Adjustments are easy and all there. I could do without the rafter hook, as I am a home woodworker. Before I bought this unit, I was so close to buying the black compact brushless and I am so glad I did not. For one it costs more, but after reading reviews and video reviews and checking it out, it is made so much cheaper. My only complaint is that I had to buy the dust collection port separately, it should come with the saw. Also I had to buy the port somewhere else. Very happy with the tool, glad to cut the cord and real happy to have dust collection on a circular saw. Would buy again without hesitation. ... show more
