The Makita XSH08Z is a 36V brushless cordless circular saw that runs on two 18V LXT batteries. It delivers 6,000 RPM and cuts 2-3/8 inches deep at 90 degrees, putting it near the top of cordless saws for power and speed. The brushless motor and electronic brake add durability and control, and the bevel anti-tip feature helps with accurate bevel cuts. It suits framers, remodelers, and serious DIYers who already own Makita 18V batteries; the bare tool is a good value if you're in that ecosystem, but the two-battery requirement means you'll need a pair of packs and a dual charger.

Owners praise the saw's power and speed, often comparing it to corded models. The brushless motor and electronic brake are well received, though the need for two batteries and the extra weight are common complaints.
The Makita XSH08Z is a cordless 7-1/4" circular saw with a brushless motor. The tool is sold without batteries.
The motor runs at 6,000 RPM with no load. An electric brake is built in, and anti-kickback protection comes from a bevel anti-tip feature and an anti-tip pawl. The flat motor housing keeps the saw stable when changing the blade.
The saw makes bevel cuts and has a cutting depth of 2-3/8" at 90°. It cuts wood, birch ply, pre-finished maple ply and Corian, and is suited to trim, framing lumber and framing partition walls. It has some track saw-like aspects. A 24-tooth carbide-tipped stock blade is included.
