Makita XSL08PT 18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit Dual Port Charger AWS™ Capable Laser (5.0Ah)
Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation. This combined expertise resulted in the 18V X2 (36V) LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 12" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit (XSL08PT), AWS™ and Laser. It's powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT® platform. X2 LXT technology delivers increased power, speed, and run time, without the hassles of a cord. Get up to 175 cuts per charge in 2x12 SPF lumber with two 5.0Ah batteries.
The efficient BL™ Brushless Motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life and delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and smoother cutting. The XSL08PT also features Automatic Speed Change™ technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance.
