The Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 6-1/2 Plunge Circular Saw Kit (XPS01PTJ) delivers precise and more accurate cutting when combined with an optional guide rail system (sold separately). The saw and rail system work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out. The saw combines a powerful Makita-built brushless motor powered by two 18V LXT® batteries with Automatic Speed Change Technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimum performance.

• ACCURACY : Dual front and rear bevel supports provide additional rigidity for precise and accurate bevel cuts
• SPEED : Variable speed control dial (2,500 - 6,300 RPM) for optimum performance in a variety of materials
• CONTROL : Easy to set depth adjustment with large scale
• DESIGN : Slide lever on base engages the guide rail (sold separately) when bevel cutting for stability
• INCLUDES : (2) 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries, dual port rapid charger, 55T carbide-tipped blade, wrench, (2) cases
