Our take on the Makita XPS02ZU 36V 18V X2 LXT Brushless 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw

The XPS02ZU is Makita's 6-1/2-inch cordless plunge saw, running on two 18V LXT batteries for 36V power. It cuts up to 2-3/16 inches at 90 degrees, bevels from -1 to 48 degrees, and has a variable speed dial from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM plus an electric brake. It is built for track-guided cutting of sheet goods, laminate and aluminum, and competes with corded plunge saws and the larger 7-1/4-inch cordless models. It ships as a tool only, so batteries and charger are extra, and the guide rail is sold separately.

Pros
  • Plunge action and optional guide rail give clean, splinter-free cuts
  • Brushless motor with variable speed from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM
  • Bevel range of -1 to 48 degrees covers undercut and full bevels
  • Electric brake stops the blade quickly
  • Light for its class at about 11.2 lbs without batteries
Cons
  • Tool only: no batteries or charger in the box
  • Guide rail not included, which is the point of a plunge saw
  • 6-1/2-inch blade limits depth on thick stock
  • Two batteries needed at once, so runtime depends on your LXT stock

What reviewers say

Owners rate the XPS02ZU highly for clean, accurate track cuts and smooth plunges. Most praise comes from users already invested in Makita 18V batteries. Complaints center on the extra cost of rails and batteries and on the shallower depth versus 7-1/4-inch saws.

What people mention
  • Cut qualityPraisedOwners report splinter-free, accurate cuts when the saw runs on a guide rail.
  • Plunge actionPraisedUsers describe the plunge as smooth and easy to control for stopped cuts.
  • Battery useCriticisedRunning two 18V packs at once means a small battery collection empties quickly.
  • Guide railMixedThe rail system is what makes the saw shine, but it is not included.
  • Depth of cutCriticisedThe 6-1/2-inch blade limits how thick a board can be cut in one pass.

Questions and answers

Does the Makita XPS02ZU come with batteries?
No. It is a tool-only kit, so you need two 18V LXT batteries and a charger. It runs on two packs at once for 36V power.
Do I need a guide rail to use it?
The saw works freehand, but the guide rail system is what gives straight, splinter-free cuts. The rail is sold separately.
How deep can it cut?
It cuts about 2-3/16 inches at 90 degrees. Depth drops as you bevel, so thick stock may need two passes.
Can it cut aluminum and Corian?
Yes. Makita lists wood, aluminum, Corian and laminate as compatible materials. Use the right blade and a slow speed for metal and solid surface.
How does it compare with the 7-1/4-inch Makita plunge saw?
The 6-1/2-inch model is lighter and easier to handle on sheet goods, but the larger saw cuts deeper. Choose this one for panels and trim, the bigger one for thick lumber.
What blade does it use?
It takes a 6-1/2-inch blade with a 20 mm arbor. A 56-tooth carbide-tipped blade is included.
