The Makita XPS01PTJ is a cordless plunge-cut track saw that runs on two 18V LXT batteries in series for 36V output. It pairs a brushless motor with variable speed from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM and bevels from -1 to 48 degrees, and the kit includes a 55-inch guide rail. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and remodelers who break down sheet goods on site and want corded-class cuts without a cord. Against corded track saws it trades unlimited runtime for portability; against smaller single-battery saws it offers more power and a longer rail in the box.

Owners of Makita's 36V X2 track saw generally rate it as a capable cordless substitute for a corded plunge saw, with clean cuts on sheet goods and good power under load. Complaints tend to center on weight and the need to manage two batteries.
The Makita XPS01PTJ is a cordless plunge-cut track saw with a 6-1/2-inch blade and a 55-inch guide rail. It runs on two 18V LXT batteries (X2 system) for 36V-class performance. It is made for straight cuts in sheet goods, panels and finish materials.
A brushless motor reaches up to 6,300 RPM. A variable speed dial covers 2,500 to 6,300 RPM. Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during the cut, and electronic speed control helps keep blade speed consistent under load. Soft start brings the saw up to speed smoothly, and an electric brake stops the blade.
The plunge design starts cuts where needed, and the guide rail keeps long cuts straight. The saw can cut as close as 11/16 inch to a wall. It bevels from -1 to 48 degrees, with positive stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees. It has a rubberized soft grip and a dust port. Star Protection lets the tool and batteries exchange data in real time.
