Our take on the Makita XBP03Z Solo

The XBP03Z is Makita's 18V LXT compact band saw, sold as a bare tool with no battery or charger. It cuts conduit, threaded rod, channel, pipe and square tubing with a 32-9/10 inch blade and a Makita-built high-torque motor, and weighs about 9 lb. Its adjustable foot supports the work for squarer cuts, and it adds an LED light, rubber bumpers and an onboard hex wrench. It suits electricians, plumbers and metalworkers already on the LXT battery platform who want a one-handed saw for overhead and tight work; corded portables and Milwaukee's M18 Deep Cut are the usual rivals, the Makita trading cut depth for size and weight.

What reviewers say

Owners of the XBP03Z tend to be tradespeople who already run Makita 18V LXT packs, and they rate it for portability and clean cuts on conduit and threaded rod. Complaints center on the bare-tool packaging and on its limited cut depth compared with larger band saws.

What people mention
  • PortabilityPraisedOwners like the low weight and compact body for overhead and one-handed work.
  • Cut qualityPraisedReviewers report clean, square cuts on conduit, threaded rod and channel.
  • Cut capacityCriticisedThe throat is shallow, so thick stock and large pipe are out of reach.
  • Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note it arrives without a battery or charger and needs LXT packs.
  • Blade setupMixedBlade changes and tracking work but take practice to get right.

About the Makita XBP03Z Solo

The Makita XBP03Z is an 18V LXT lithium-ion cordless compact band saw. It is sold as a tool only, so the battery is not included. It uses a high-torque Makita-built motor that is lightweight and compact.

The saw cuts conduit, all thread, channel, corrugated material, pipe, sheet metal and square tubing. An adjustable foot protects the material and gives positive support for more accurate cuts.

It comes with an LED light, rubber bumpers, a removable hook and an onboard hex wrench.

Questions and answers

Does the XBP03Z come with a battery?
No. It is a bare tool, so you need Makita 18V LXT batteries and a charger, or buy a kit version.
What can it cut?
Conduit, threaded rod, channel, corrugated and sheet metal, pipe and square tubing. It is not meant for thick solid steel.
How does it compare with the XBP02?
The XBP03Z is the more compact, lighter saw with a smaller cut capacity; the larger saws handle deeper stock but are heavier.
Can it cut overhead one-handed?
Yes, that is its main draw. At about 9 lb with a battery it is manageable overhead, though a fresh 5.0Ah pack adds noticeable weight.
What blade does it use?
It takes a 32-9/10 inch band saw blade. Keep a spare on hand, since a broken blade stops the job.
Is it worth it over a corded band saw?
If you already own LXT batteries and cut pipe or conduit away from outlets, yes. For heavy daily steel cutting, a corded deep-cut saw does more.
Where is the Makita XBP03Z Solo cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $329.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Makita XBP03Z Solo?
