The Makita XPS01 is a cordless plunge track saw that runs on two 18V LXT batteries in series for 36V power. It uses a brushless motor with automatic speed change, a 2,500–6,300 RPM variable dial, soft start and an electric brake. It cuts 2-3/16 in. deep at 90 degrees and bevels from -1 to 48 degrees with stops at 22.5 and 45. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and remodelers who want table-saw accuracy on site without a cord. Against corded track saws it gives up nothing in cut quality but needs the guide rail, which is sold separately, and two charged batteries. Owners of the XPS01 line rate its cut quality and dust control highly and note the weight and the cost of rails and batteries.

Owners of the XPS01 platform praise clean, splinter-free cuts on rail and strong dust collection when hooked to a vac. Common complaints are the weight with two batteries and the extra cost of rails and packs.
This kit pairs the Makita XPS01Z cordless brushless 6-1/2" track saw (plunge circular saw) with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries. The saw runs on both batteries together (18V X2, 36V) and has a Makita-built brushless motor. It is designed to be used with an optional guide rail system, sold separately, for accurate cuts with minimal tear-out.
The variable speed dial runs from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM. Automatic speed change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut, and electronic speed control holds speed under load. Soft start and an electric brake are included. The saw cuts 2-3/16" deep at 90° and 1-9/16" deep at 45°. It can cut as close as 11/16" to a wall.
A built-in depth stop allows a first cut of 2 to 3 mm before cutting through the material, for clean, splinter-free cuts. Dual front and rear bevel supports add rigidity for bevel cuts. A slide lever on the base engages the optional guide rail during bevel cutting. The handle has a rubberized soft grip. The 1-7/16" rear dust port connects to a vacuum system.
