- Will it cut a 2x4 in one pass?
- Yes, at 90 degrees it cuts through standard 2x material. At 45 degrees the depth drops, so thick stock may need a second pass.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- This is typically a bare tool. Check the listing, since some kits bundle a battery and charger and others do not.
- How does it compare with a 7-1/4 in. saw?
- It is lighter and easier to handle but cuts shallower. A 7-1/4 in. saw handles thick lumber and deep bevels that this one cannot.
- Which LXT batteries fit?
- Any Makita 18V LXT battery fits, including 3.0Ah and 5.0Ah packs. Larger packs add runtime but also weight.
- Can it cut metal or masonry?
- Not with the stock blade. With the right blade it can cut some non-ferrous metal, but it is designed for wood.
