Overview

A framing job site or a deck build with no outlets nearby suits this Makita saw, which pairs two Makita LXT packs to drive a brushless motor through dimensional lumber and sheet goods. An electric brake stops the blade quickly after each cut.

Running on the same LXT packs as other Makita tools, it cuts like a corded saw without a cord. The bevel range is missing, and two batteries must be charged to run it.

Who it's for

Contractors and serious DIYers cutting framing, plywood and decking all day away from power. Light-duty users may find a single-battery saw easier to handle.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Corded-class power without a cord
  • Uses common 18V batteries
  • Auto speed change under load
  • Batteries and charger included
Cons
  • Bevel capacity not listed
  • Needs two charged batteries
  • Heavy kit to carry

Performance notes

Automatic speed change trades speed for torque when the blade bogs down in dense lumber, so cuts do not stall. The brushless motor wastes less energy as heat, stretching cuts per charge.
