Makita offers a portable cutting solution with the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 6-1/2 in. Compact Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw with Laser (tool only). The efficient BL Brushless Motor is engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life with no brushes to replace. The XSL05Z combines performance and portability: it weighs only 14.6 lbs. with battery (sold separately), and is equipped with Automatic Speed Change technology which adjusts cutting speed and torque for optimum performance under load. This compact cordless miter saw is engineered for cutting a variety of materials including wood and aluminum extrusion (aluminum blade and cutting lubricant sold separately). It is ideal for room-to-room applications including baseboard and ceiling trim. It has a cutting capacity 1-13/16 in. x 3-5/8 in. at 90 and 1-13/16 in. x 2-9/16 in. at 45. It miters 0-52 left and right; bevels 0-46 left and right, with miter detents at: 0, 15, 22.5, 30 and 45 left and right. Added features include a built-in LED light, and a see-through blade guard system for greater visibility of blade and line of cut. It has a direct-drive gear system so there’s no belt to slip or replace.
