Makita XPS01Z Circular Saw, Tool Only, 18 V, 2 to 5 Ah, 6-1/2 in Dia Blade, 1-9/16, 2-3/16 in Cutting Capacity

The Makita 18 V X2 (36V) LXT brushless 6-1/2 in plunge circular saw kit (XPS01Z, tool only) delivers precise and more accurate cutting when combined with an optional guide rail system. The saw and rail system work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out. The saw combines a powerful Makita-built brushless motor powered by two 18 V LXT® batteries with Automatic Speed Change™ technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimum performance. The saw has a variable speed control dial (2500 to 6300 rpm) with soft start and an electric brake for added convenience. It has a large 2-3/16 in cutting capacity at 90 deg with a bevel capability of-1 to 48 deg and positive stops at 22.5 deg and 45 deg. When used with a rail system the plunge circular saw is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications and is ideal for use on the jobsite or in a workshop. It's part of Makita's expanding 18 V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18 V 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 18 V LXT® and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside. Powered by two LXT® batteries, X2 LXT® technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord Makita built electronically controlled BL™ brushless motor delivers 6300 rpm for maximum performance and 50% longer run time per charge Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cut for optimum performance Ideal for cutting large wood panels, other wood materials including melamine and MDF, aluminum and Corian® with optional, material specific blades Close to the wall cutting (11/16 in) for expanded cutting applications Electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smooth cutting Soft start feature for smooth start-ups Easy-to-set depth adjustment with large scale Smooth and convenient plunge release lever for operator comfort
