The Makita XSL06PT is a 10-inch dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw that runs on two 18V LXT batteries in series for 36V power, with a brushless motor. It cuts without a cord, so it suits framers, remodelers and trim carpenters working where outlets are scarce or a cord is a trip hazard. The kit includes two 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger. Against corded 10-inch sliders it gives up some raw power and adds battery management, but it matches them on bevel and miter range and adds portability. Owners praise the smooth, quiet brushless motor and the cut quality; the main complaints are weight and the cost of keeping enough batteries charged.

Owners and reviewers rate the XSL06PT highly for cut accuracy, smooth brushless operation and the freedom of cordless use. Most criticism centers on weight and on battery demand during heavy cutting.
This is a 10-inch cordless dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw that runs on two 18V LXT batteries for 36V power. It has a brushless motor with automatic speed change technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque under load. A direct-drive gearbox with soft start gives smooth start-ups with no belts to slip or replace, and an electric brake is included.
Two steel rails give a single slide-glide action. They also reduce the saw's footprint, so it can sit flush against a wall. A linear ball bearing system, a large aluminum base and an integrated 4-3/4" tall fence support accurate miter and bevel cuts. The saw has a 60T carbide-tipped blade and a built-in laser that shows the line of cut whether or not the blade is turning. The laser has an on-off switch and micro-adjustments for left-of-blade or right-of-blade cutting.
The bevel lock is at the front of the saw, the miter angle locks and unlocks with a 90-degree turn of the knob, and a one-touch slide lock is included. The handle has a rubberized soft grip. Dust collection works with the included dust bag or with a vacuum.
