Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Circular Saw

The Makita XSS02Z is a compact 6-1/2-inch sidewinder circular saw that runs on Makita's 18V LXT batteries. It cuts 2-1/4 inches deep at 90 degrees and 1-9/16 inches at 45, with a 50-degree bevel range and a top speed of 3,700 rpm. At about 4 pounds bare, it is built for one-handed framing, decking and trim work where a corded saw is awkward. It is a tool-only kit, so the value depends on whether you already own LXT batteries; brushless rivals cut faster and run longer per charge, but this saw is lighter and simpler.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a tool-only kit with one 16-tooth carbide blade. You need a Makita 18V LXT battery with a Star symbol and a charger.
How deep can it cut?
2-1/4 inches at 90 degrees and 1-9/16 inches at 45 degrees, enough for 2x lumber and most trim.
Is it worth it over a brushless Makita?
If you already own LXT batteries and want a light, simple saw, yes. A brushless model cuts faster and runs longer per charge but weighs more and costs more.
What blade does it use?
A 6-1/2-inch blade with a 5/8-inch arbor. The included 16-tooth blade is fine for framing; switch to a finer tooth count for trim.
Can it cut 2x4s at a bevel?
At 45 degrees it cuts 1-9/16 inches deep, so a 2x4 needs a pass from each side or a 90-degree cut.
Does it have a rafter hook or dust port?
No. The saw has neither, so plan on a separate vac attachment or hand clearing dust.
