Makita LXT Cordless 7-1/4" Circular Saw, Tool Only, Lithium-Ion, Brushless, 18V, 6000RPM

Makita a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 36 V (18 V X2) LXT brushless 7-1/4 in circular saw kit (XSH06Z). It's powered by two 18 V LXT lithium-ion batteries (sold separately) for maximum performance and has an electronically controlled BL brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18 V 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 18 V batteries with the XSH06Z as they use across the expansive Makita 18 V LXT cordless tool system. The XSH06Z has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. The electronically controlled brushless motor delivers a full 6000 rpm for efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust the cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. In internal testing, the XSH06Z made up to 610 cross cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber and up to 320 crosscuts per charge in 2x10 SPF lumber using two fully charged 5 Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-5/8 in cutting capacity at 90 deg and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast magnesium base, blade guard and blade cover, which combines durability with less weight (only 10.5 lb with batteries, sold separately). Added features include a built-in dust blower to clean the line of cut and a built-in tether notch (tether sold separately). It's part of Makita expanding 18 V lithium-ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V 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.
