The Makita XSL06Z is a 10-inch dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw that runs on two 18V LXT batteries for 36V power, so it works anywhere without a cord. Its brushless motor spins up to 4,400 RPM and adjusts speed and torque under load. The 2-steel rail sliding system and dual bevel with laser alignment make it a strong pick for trim carpenters, remodelers and serious DIYers who already own Makita 18V batteries. Against corded 10-inch sliders it trades a little raw power for portability, and it is sold as a bare tool, so batteries and charger are extra.

Owners and reviewers rate the XSL06Z highly for smooth sliding, accurate bevels and true cordless convenience on job sites. Common complaints center on the need for two batteries, the bare-tool packaging and weight.
The Makita XSL06Z is a cordless 10-inch dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw. It runs on two 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries for 36V power. It is sold as a tool only, so batteries and a charger are sold separately.
The brushless motor reaches up to 4,400 RPM. Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque under load. A direct-drive gearbox with soft start has no belts to slip or replace, and an electric brake is included. Star Protection Computer Controls let the tool and battery exchange data to guard against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
A 2-steel rail sliding system gives single slide-glide operation and a smaller footprint, so the saw can sit flush against a wall. The bevel lock is at the front of the saw. A built-in laser shows the line of cut. A large aluminum base supports the stock. Dust can be collected with the included bag or with a vacuum (sold separately).
