Our take on the Makita 18V 6-1/2 in. LXT Sub-Compact Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Circular Saw

The Makita XSH04 is a 6-1/2 in. cordless circular saw built on the 18V LXT battery platform. Its brushless motor and compact body make it one of the lightest full-featured saws in its class, aimed at trim carpenters, remodelers and anyone cutting sheet goods overhead or one-handed. It trades depth of cut for portability: it handles 2x material at 90 degrees but cannot match a 7-1/4 in. saw on thick stock. Owners like the balance and the smooth, quiet cut; the usual complaints are the small blade, the plastic base and the cost of batteries if you are not already on LXT.

Pros
  • Light and well balanced for one-handed use
  • Brushless motor runs cool and extends runtime
  • Electric brake stops the blade quickly
  • Bevels to 50 degrees with positive stops
  • Shares 18V LXT batteries with other Makita tools
Cons
  • 6-1/2 in. blade limits depth on thick lumber
  • Base is stamped steel, not a rigid shoe
  • No rafter hook on the base model
  • Blade-left design takes getting used to
  • Bare tool only; battery and charger sold separately

What reviewers say

Reviewers rate the XSH04 highly for its light weight, smooth brushless power and clean cuts in plywood and trim. Most criticism centers on the shallow cut depth and the stamped base flexing on long rips.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedOwners repeatedly call it one of the lightest saws they have used, which makes overhead and one-handed cuts easier.
  • Cut depthCriticisedThe 6-1/2 in. blade limits cuts to shallow depths, so thick lumber needs two passes or a bigger saw.
  • BaseCriticisedSome users say the stamped steel base flexes during long rips and does not stay square under force.
  • Brushless motorPraisedReviewers report smooth, quiet power and good runtime per charge compared with brushed compact saws.
  • Blade changesMixedThe spindle lock and blade guard make swaps slower than on full-size saws, according to some owners.

Questions and answers

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.
