Description

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 XSH03Z is equipped with automatic speed Change technology, which adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance. The Makita BL Brushless motor is engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star protection Computer controls. Star protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol on the battery indicating Star protection inside.

  • outperformed my expectations!
Cuts plywood with careless abandon! Super easy to use, more power than you'd think given the weight (which is half of my Skil Saw rear-handle) with nearly the same power. It's also a lot quieter than the old Skil Saw.

  • Powerful & Portable Cutting Partner!
The Makita XSH03Z delivers smooth, precise cuts with impressive cordless freedom. Lightweight, brushless efficiency, and solid battery life—just needs a separate battery purchase. Great for pros! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Awesome tool
I already had a helical gear driven Skil saw which I bought and used for the last 20 years so I bought this on kind of a whim since I had a bunch of other Makita tools. This thing is awesome. I didn't think that a lightweight easy to grab saw would make such a difference in how I work but this thing is sweet. Rarely use my Skil saw anymore and even use this at times when I would normally use my table saw. It's just so handy and fast and cuts so well that it's my go to tool now. One of my favorite tool purchases. ... show more

  • Very balanced saw.
I’ve been a carpenter for over 40 yrs. Bought this one in 2016 and built my home with it alone. Just about got finished and dropped it and cracked the plate next to the blade on the narrow part. Checked it everytime I went to use it and still worked great. It’s a very balanced saw. Love the light. Great for working in late evening of dim lit areas. This saw cut everything-plates, subfloor, rafters, joists. Whatever I cut to build my house, this saw cut it. And very well. I really like this saw. Might finally buy my 2nd one now. ... show more
