Makita, a pioneer in Brushless Motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (XSH06Z, tool-only, batteries and charger sold separately). It's powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in 1 battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XSH06Z as they use across the expansive Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool system. The XSH06Z has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. The electronically-controlled Brushless Motor delivers a full 6,000 RPM for efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed Change technology to adjust the cutting speed and torque under load for optimum performance. In internal testing, the XSH06Z made up to 600 cross-cuts per charge in 2X4 SPF lumber using 2 fully-charged 5.0 Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-11/16 in. cutting capacity at 90, and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing. This bundle includes the B-61656, 7-1/4 in. 24T Carbide-Tipped Ultra-Thin Kerf Saw Blade for framing.
