Description

Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4” Circular Saw (XSR01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It's powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18V X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18V batteries with the XSR01Z as they use across the expansive Makita 18V LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01Z has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. Users of leading corded saws will appreciate the blade-left rear-handle design. The electronically-controlled brushless motor delivers a full 5,100 RPM for efficient cutting. In internal testing, the XSR01Z made up to 558 cross-cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber using two fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16” cutting capacity at 90 degrees that will cut 3X lumber in a single pass, and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing, which combines durability with less weight (only 12.4 lbs. with batteries, sold separately). It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. 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.

    • A welcome change from a worm drive!
Style: Circ Saw Only
I'm a contractor and this thing so far is up to the professional requirements of a jobsite. It's noticeably lighter than a corded magnesium worm drive, but not so light that it can't push through material. Seems like the perfect balance. A rear handle saw needs to have some weight, but doing a lot of repetitive work with a standard corded saw can be hard on the arms and wrists, so it's nice to shed a few pounds with this thing. Using two 5ah batteries this thing seems to go all day, though if you were to do a lot of rips though you'd probably have to change the batteries once during the day. I do have some criticisms about it though, one being that the rafter hook is awkward. I think it's designed to be able to hang off of a 3x material or an LVL, just something larger than the 1 5/8" you'd need for 2x, but since most of us are most of the time hanging things off of 2x the extra play in the hook can leave the saw hanging a bit loosely. I prefer the way a worm drive hook hangs the saw, but maybe I'll find a day when the larger hook really earns its keep? The other thing, more of a nuance, is the safety button needed to engage the trigger. Still not quite used to it. I'm all for safety's as much as possible, but I'm very used to only needing one finger to start a skill saw. There's really not a whole lot more that can be said about it, it performs very well for its intended purpose. I do think the DeWalt is also a very good saw, and I'd like to try them both side by side, and one thing that I believe the DeWalt has on this thing is the way that the dust is ejected from the housing. I saw a side by side comparison of the two and I could see how well the DeWalt dealt with the dust, while the Makita shoots it straight down onto the workpiece. Not a deal killer, but definitely a leg up when doing rips. These small details matter if you use this tool a lot, so just something to consider. While we're on the subject, it would be nice to only have to deal with changing one battery, instead of two. I'm not going to dock any stars for these things, but basically, there's competition :) ... show more

    • where has this thing been? should of been made long ago!
Style: Circ Saw Only
I have had many cordless 20ish volt circular saw, makita 18v, dewat 18v, and hilti 18v. and usually i reserve them all for plywood cutting, or 3/4 lumber. not 2x4 and up. recenty i tried the 60v dewalt monster for a more applicable saw,it has nice power but heavy, and agressive with its power as most direct link circular saw are to me, also i hated the blade being on the right side view, not sure why alot of cir. saw are this view when most people are right handed. but this makita fits the bill. cuts anything my worm drive Skilsaw 7 1/4 does, not as much power ofcourse but still it does it, and does it smoothly. i love how the power comes on this thing, it feels soft but its cuts is almost as solid as plug in. its lightwieght at least compare to the dewalt, or perhaps its just better balanced, but to me it feels lighter. also gotta love the fact that you dont need new batteries, 18v lxt battery works perfect! ofcourse best part is the blade is veiwable when cutting with your right hand. since i got it, i really dont even use my worm skilsaw at all, it feels so much heavier now next to this thing and and i got the ligther mag version of skilsaw. one down side, for me atleast is battery doesnt last anywhere near advertised.i am currently running on lxt 3.0 battery fairly new set, but i still give it 5 stars. its good of makita to take a risky design first, and honestly i am not sure why none came earlier, makes sense to me, but perhaps maybe cost? technical challenge? not sure, but hopefully other companies will come out with similar cordless worm drive circular saw in the near future. oh also the default blade is decent for framing, rough cuts, if switch to a thin kerf blade with higher tooth count, it can cut very smooth too, i used it to cut 1/2 plexiglass to seamed. ... show more

If you're a fan of the old worm drive skilsaws, then you'll like this; they're nearly identical, but this one doesn't have the cords or any need for oil. It's powerful, relatively lightweight (compared to my skilsaw with 50' cord), holds a great charge, and is very well built. I am not a tradesman, but this tool would excel in a jobsite environment because of how versatile and powerful it is - this can do anything a worm drive saw can do. I've been using it in a remodel doing framing and absolutely love it. Makita sells another cordless circular saw (6 1/2" blade) but it's underpowered and designed for ripping thin sheets. This saw will cut anything! If you've already accumulated a few 18v Makita tools (and batteries), then the $200 price tag is nothing. If you don't have Makita batteries then the $450 price tag is daunting. Just FYI- this tool will work with any amp/hour batteries... from the 2Ah to the 5Ah; they all work. ... show more

    • This is a man's saw
Style: Circ Saw Only
I finally killed off my old Skilsaw by somehow letting it fall off my saw shelf which broke the handle. It would still have worked I guess if I would have repaired it, but it was long in the tooth and I kind of hated it - it was getting loose and on its best day wasn't ever a very good saw. Kind of a homeowners special. After paying the pile of gold bars for this sweet saw, I am in love. This thing is well thought out and tight. With a good straight edge to follow, I can wafer off a 4x8 sheet of plywood and have it look better than the same cut on my #1 table saw. I am worn out and calling it a day long before the two 5 amp hour batteries. Yeah, I am old and fat and that may be part of the amazing long battery life I think I am getting, but I am serious when I say that I could go days between charging and not notice, using the saw much of the time. This thing feels balanced, cuts straight and everything really just feels right about this saw. I may be a woodworking moron relative to the construction DaVinci's out there, but I know a good saw when I use it. This is a good saw. ... show more

    • A battery powered saws that is as good as a corded.
Style: Circ Saw Only
Wanted another saw as my Skil worm drive has been relegated to demo and other nasty work. I have a half dozen makita batteries so I thought I would give this a try. Pleasantly surprised by the power, battery life and on tool miter and blade depth adjusters. It is heavy but if your used to using a worm drive you know the weight is your friend. My only complaint is the thumb actuated safety on switch. It’s a little awkward for me. Cuts great with supplied blade and is significantly quieter than most circular saws. I’m using two 4.0 amp hour batteries and it will cut all day doing a combo of framing lumber and plywood cuts. Pretty awesome you can just carry it around a job site with no cord and just grab and cut when needed. ... show more

    • Outstanding Saw
Style: Circ Saw Only
I've been a carpenter for 35 years and have used just about every saw made in that time. This might be the best non-track saw I have ever used. I have 17 Makita cordless tools, 20 batteries and 3 charges, so adding this saw was a no-brainer. At 36v it has all the power you will ever need. With the supplied thin kerf blade, the saw cuts perfectly. Haven't tried a full kerf blade in it yet, but I'm not sure why I would. Once it arrived, I put it to use cutting everything I could with it. I wanted to find it's limitations. I did manage to get it to bog down a little while ripping some LVLs, but even my corded Hypoid saw bogs down some with that task. My corded Makita Hypoid saw is now retired... ... show more

    • TWO-HANDED MONSTAH
Style: Circ Saw Only
With the one quibble that there wasn't provision for on-board storage for the arbor wrench, this is an exceptionally well-designed and well-manufactured tool. It's functionally an upside-down bench saw, but instructions caution against trying that application. The instructions also caution about this being strictly for two-handed operation, which means no using the other hand to hold a speed-square to get a good, straight cut, unless the speed-square is clamped down and then on the lefthand side so the motor and clamp don't interfere. Another part of its serious nature is that it is also heavy, not as heavy as a worm-drive, but heavier than most other 7-1/4" sidewinders, meaning my pre-existing 6-1/2" Makita cordless will get more of the work because of its easier use. When the capacities of the 6-1/2" aren't sufficient, then like a tag-team match, the heavyweight comes in. ... show more
