The Makita XPS01PTJ is a cordless 6-1/2-inch plunge circular saw powered by two 18V LXT batteries. Its electronically controlled BL brushless motor runs at 6,300 RPM. Automatic speed change adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut.
A variable speed dial sets the speed from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM. The bevel range is -1° to 48°, with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°. Cutting capacity at 90° is 2-3/16 inches, and near-wall cutting is 11/16 inch.
The saw is rail-ready and works with a 39-inch guide rail (model 199140-0, sold separately) for straight, guided cuts. An LED indicator shows charge status. Star Protection computer controls guard against overload, over-discharge and overheating. It is part of Makita's 18V LXT system and is designed to work with other Makita 18V LXT tools and batteries.
