The Makita XSR01Z is a cordless rear handle circular saw with a 7-1/4 in. blade. It runs on two 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries (36V total) and has an electronically controlled BL brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. The batteries are the same 18V LXT batteries used across Makita's 18V LXT cordless tool series.
The saw has a blade-left, rear-handle design. The motor delivers 5,100 RPM. Its cutting capacity at 90 degrees is 2-9/16 in., enough to cut 3X lumber in a single pass. An electric brake is included. In internal testing, it made up to 558 cross-cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber using two fully charged 5.0Ah batteries.
The base and blade guard are die-cast magnesium. The blade cover and motor housing are die-cast aluminum. The saw weighs 12.4 lb. with batteries. This is the tool only; batteries and charger are sold separately.
