Makita XSL04PTU 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 10" Miter Saw Kit, AWS and Laser

Makita XSL04PTU Description

Makita is a pioneer in Brushless Motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation, and has combined this expertise in the 18V X2 LXT® (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 In. dual bevel sliding compound miter saw. It's powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT® platform. Makita Brushless Motor are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The XSL04PTU has an efficient BL™ Brushless Motor that delivers up to 4,400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change™ technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. The XSL04PTU is equipped with auto-start wireless system (AWS™), which uses Bluetooth™ technology for wireless power-on/off communication with the AWS-equipped dust extractor (sold separately). AWS™ is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and reduces noise. The XSL04PTU has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and dead-on accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4 In.) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8 In. nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4 x 12 at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60° (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0° to 48° (left and right). The direct drive gearbox with soft start is a key point of difference. Direct drive enables smoother start-ups and consistent, constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience.
