Variable speed control allows the user to match the speed to the application. The dial goes from 6,000 to 20,000 OPM.
3.2° oscillation angle: This angle was made for faster, more aggressive cutting and sanding.
Large on/off slide switches with a lock-on button for the convenience of the person who is using the machine.
Adapters are included to work with most of the other accessories.
The barrel grip is only 2-3/8″ in diameter, which makes it easy to hold.
Suitable for Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries that have a Star on them (battery sold separately)
Multi-tools with oscillating blades are becoming more popular in all kinds of trades. The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless multi-tool (tool only) has the power and speed of a corded tool without the cord.
The XMT03Z has extra features like reduced vibration and less noise that make it better at cutting, sanding, scraping, removing grout, and more.
You can buy it as an add-on to Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion Series, which is the world’s largest line of cordless tools powered by an 18V Lithium Ion slide-style battery.
When you buy a Makita 18V LXT battery, it has the fastest charge time in its class. This means that the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah battery that comes with the XMT03Z can run for up to 20 minutes (sold separately).
In addition to having a variable speed control dial that ranges from 6, 000 to 20, 000 OPM and a soft start feature, this saw has a 3.2 degree oscillation angle that makes cutting and sanding go more quickly.
The XMT03Z has a small barrel grip for easier handling, a large on/off slide switch with a lock-on button, and adapters that work with most of the other guns.
The XMT03Z can be used for cutting, sanding, scraping, grout removal, and many other things.
If you’re a remodeler or a carpenter or a plumber or a wood floor installer, this is the tool for you.
Every other thing about this oscillating tool isn’t good enough.
It was clear right away that I was going to return this tool because I’ve used Makita for a long time.
Because of how bad ergonomics are,
When you learn to use Makita cordless drills and saws, you can use them as if they were your own arm.
This saw is way too big or bulky.
A Pringles can comes to mind.
There is no way you want to use this every day.
2. There are no LED lights.
This is 2019. Where are the LEDs?
If this alone isn’t enough to make me not want to buy this product, the video for it clearly shows LED lighting.
In the video, there’s no lightning. If you pause it and look closely, you’ll see that the saw is an older model.
I thought this would let me go cordless with the tool I use most often, my Rockwell Oscillating tool, but not yet.
If Makita doesn’t fix these problems soon, I may choose the Fein cordless over them and buy them instead.
