- Does the XRJ06Z come with a battery?
- No. It is a bare tool, so battery and charger are sold separately. It runs on Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion packs.
- What is the difference between the two speeds?
- Low speed gives more control for metal and plastic; high speed is for fast wood cuts. Match the speed to the material to keep blades lasting.
- Can it cut metal pipe and conduit?
- Yes, with the right bi-metal blade and low speed. It is a common choice for plumbers and electricians cutting pipe on site.
- Is it compatible with all Makita 18V batteries?
- It uses the 18V LXT platform, so it takes standard LXT packs. Larger Ah packs give longer runtime at more weight.
- How does it compare with a corded reciprocating saw?
- It trades some raw power and stroke length for cordless freedom. For heavy demolition, a corded saw still cuts faster; for most site work the XRJ06Z keeps up.
