  • Very Nice!
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
Very nice compact saw, great for up to 2x4. I use specifically for trim, easy carry and setup.

  • Kinda looks like a toy - but it's not!
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
This miter saw is perfect for running trim, making picture frames - whatever you need a portable saw for. This little guy slices right through 2X4s with no problem.

  • It does exactly what I was hoping it would do.
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
The big sliding miter saw is on site, but is out where there is more room for it. This miter saw can be right next to me as I make final cuts and secure the trim in place with my nailer. I no longer have to walk back & forth to the big miter saw for final cuts. It saves a ton of time! The only thing that I hate is the protruding LED light that always seems to get in the way. There should be a way to remove just the light itself without also removing the laser light switch. That gooseneck light was so annoying that I took it completely off. ... show more

  • Great compact cordless miter saw!
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
First time ever of using a miter saw to do my flooring baseboards and door casing trim moldings. The cuts are so precise and clean, no chipping whatsoever. I love the laser light cutting line, no second guessing of where the blade cut will be. The turntable and bevel angles are easy enough to figure out. Love the compactness and the portability as well. I'm just using the blade that came with it and it's perfect enough to cut all my trim moldings. ... show more

  • Perfect Saw!!
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
Top notch makita quality. I have been waiting for this saw it seems forever. It is better than I expected. Super lightweight, Ultra accurate and built like a tank. Made in Japan. I can say this may be small but it is not a toy I use this for small trim typically moldings 1-1/2” x 3/4” cap , Cove moldings poplar, oak, any hardwood molding or smaller trim is perfect. Well worth the price. I have all the makita cordless miter saws 10”, 7-1/2”, 6-1/2” this completes the set and I use every one and couldn’t be happier. ( Almost everyday on a professional level I use one of the three) This little one has an led light that once you turn it on you won’t shut it off great design. Absolutely love it. ... show more

  • Perfect tool for the job!
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
My husband is remodeling my bathroom and he needs to cut very clean corners on metal trim as well as baseboards and such. This tool is perfect for the job! Two years later, updating my review with a note from my husband... "I have found the Makita XSL05Z a joy to use. Cutting both wood and metal tile trim. For both miter and compound miter cuts it makes fitting the cut pieces perfect. I have had no issues with adjusting the angles in either plane." ... show more

  • Works great for tiny trim
Size: 6-1/2" Style: Tool Only
It’s ok. If all you are cutting is 1x4 or smaller, it’s great. Plus it’s super light. Would I but it again? Probably not. Would spend the extra money and get the larger battery slide compound saw.
