This is Makita's 40V XGT cordless plunge circular saw with a 6-1/2 in. blade, built for track-guided and freehand plunge cuts. The brushless motor runs 2,500 to 4,900 RPM with Automatic Speed Change, soft start, an electric brake and constant speed control under load. It cuts 2-3/16 in. at 90° and 1-9/16 in. at 45°, bevels from -1° to 48° with stops at 22.5° and 45°, and takes an optional guide rail to limit tear-out. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and remodelers who want corded-plunge-saw accuracy without a cord; against corded plunge saws it trades unlimited runtime for battery dependence, and against smaller 18V saws it offers more depth and power.

Owners of Makita's XGT plunge saw generally rate the cut quality and track compatibility highly, and many compare it favorably with corded plunge saws. Complaints center on the cost of the rail and batteries and on the weight of the kit.
This is a 40V max XGT cordless 6-1/2 in. plunge circular saw kit. It has a Makita-built brushless motor with variable speed from 2,500 to 4,900 RPM. Automatic Speed Change Technology adjusts cutting speed and torque, and constant speed control keeps the cut smooth under load. Soft start and an electric brake support smooth operation and safety.
The saw cuts 2-3/16 in. deep at 90° and 1-9/16 in. deep at 45°. Bevel capacity runs from -1° to 48°, with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. A built-in depth stop makes depth adjustments easy, and the plunge release lever operates smoothly. An optional guide rail system, sold separately, can be paired with the saw to minimize tear-out.
A locking lever holds the blade in place for installation, and a hex wrench stores on board for quick blade changes. The large rear dust port directs debris away or into a vacuum system. The saw has a rubberized soft grip handle and dual front and rear bevel supports for added rigidity. XPT technology protects it against dust and water. It is AWS capable, using Bluetooth to communicate between the saw and a dust extractor.
