Our take on the Makita XPS01PTJ Cordless 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw Kit

The Makita XPS01PTJ is an 18V X2 LXT plunge circular saw: two 18V batteries feed a 36V brushless motor that drives a 6-1/2 in. blade. It cuts on a track for straight, splinter-free cuts in sheet goods, and the plunge action lets you start a cut in the middle of a panel. It is a specialist tool for trim carpenters, cabinet installers and serious woodworkers, not a substitute for a framing saw. Against track saws from Festool and DeWalt it is a strong value, and owners rate it highly for cut quality and dust collection.

  • Dust collectionPraisedReviewers say the dust port and hose keep most chips out of the cut line.
  • WeightCriticisedSeveral owners find it heavy and awkward for overhead or one-handed use.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a track?
The kit is the saw with batteries and a charger. Guide rails are separate, so check the kit contents before you buy.
Can it cut without a track?
Yes. The base has an edge guide slot, but the saw is built around track use and cuts best on a rail.
How deep does it cut?
At 90 degrees it cuts about 2-3/16 in., enough for 1-1/2 in. stock and most sheet goods. Depth drops at bevel angles.
What batteries does it use?
Two Makita 18V LXT batteries, which together give 36V. The kit includes 5.0Ah packs and a dual-port charger.
Is it good for framing?
No. It is a finish and sheet-goods saw. For framing and demolition a rear-handle or sidewinder saw is faster and lighter.
Can I use it with other brands' tracks?
It is designed for Makita guide rails. Other brands' rails need an adapter and may not fit the base groove.
