Overview
The Makita XPS01PTJ is a 36V battery powered saw built around a high speed steel blade, with a listed cutting capacity of 2 inches, running on Makita's paired 18V LXT platform.
The PTJ suffix in Makita's naming typically marks a kit version bundled with two batteries, a charger, and a case, rather than a bare tool sold alone.
