The Makita XSL02Z is a cordless dual-slide compound miter saw with a 7.5-inch blade, built for trim work and light framing away from an outlet. It runs on two 18V LXT batteries in series (36V) and a brushless motor that Makita says stretches run time per charge. The dual sliding rails and linear ball bearings give it a compact footprint for a sliding saw, and it bevels both ways. It suits finish carpenters and remodelers who cut trim on site; it is not a substitute for a 10- or 12-inch corded saw on thick stock.
