The Makita XSR01Z is a bare-tool 18V cordless circular saw with a 7-1/4 inch blade and a rear-handle layout borrowed from worm-drive saws. It spins at 5,100 rpm and cuts at 2-5/16 inches at 90 degrees, deeper than most 18V sidewinder saws, and bevels to 56 degrees. It weighs 12.4 lb bare, so it is heavier than compact 6-1/2 inch saws but balances like a framing saw. It suits framers and remodelers already on Makita's 18V LXT batteries; buyers wanting a light one-hand saw or a kit with batteries should look elsewhere.

Owners rate it as a serious framing saw that behaves like a worm drive while running on Makita 18V packs. They praise the power and depth of cut and note the weight and rear-handle learning curve.
The Makita XSR01Z Solo is a cordless circular saw that runs on an 18-volt Li-Ion battery. It has a 7.25-inch blade and a no-load speed of 5,100 rpm. The bevel capacity allows angled cuts.
This is the solo version: it comes with a saw blade, but no battery is included. The saw has no dust bag.
