Double LXT battery technology gives you more power, speed, and run time without having to deal with cords.
Makita built an electronically controlled BL motor that can run at 6, 000 RPM and last 50 percent longer on a single charge.
It doesn’t have carbon brushes, so the BL motor runs cooler and more efficiently for a longer time.
Automatic speed change technology changes cutting speed and torque during a cut to get the best results.
Technology called x2 LXT can make up to 610 crosscuts per charge in 2×4 spf lumber and up to 320 crosscuts per charge in 2×10 spf lumber with two 5.0Ah batteries. This is a lot of crosscuts.
Brushless motors and batteries are two things Makita has been working on for a long time. The 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 7-1/4″ Circular saw kit has both (XSH06PT). Two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries give it the most power, and an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor adjusts torque and RPM to the job at hand. When you use Makita’s 18V X2 saw, you don’t have to be tied down by a cord even when you need to cut sheet and dimensional lumber. Users can use the same 18V batteries with the XSH06PT as they do with all of the Makita 18V LXT cordless tools, which means they can stay in one battery platform. The XSH06PT has a lot of features that make it easy to cut without having to use a cord. The motor is electronically controlled and runs at a full 6, 000 RPM for efficient cutting. It also has automatic speed change technology that adjusts the cutting speed and torque when the machine is under a lot of stress to get the best results. Tests inside the company found that the XSH06PT could make up to 600 cross-cuts per charge in 2×4 SPF lumber with two fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Add-ons include a large 2-11/16″ cutting capacity at 90 degrees, as well as an Electric brake for the most efficient work. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard, as well as a die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing. This means it’s more durable and lighter at the same time (only 10.4 lbs. With batteries, sold separately). The new features include a built-in dust blower to clean the line-of-cut, and a built-in tether notch for attaching a rope (tether sold separately). Part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, which is the world’s largest cordless tool system that runs on 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, this tool is part of that system. 18V lithium-ion batteries from Makita have the fastest charge times in their categories because they work more and don’t have to wait as long to be charged. For better tool performance and longer battery life, Makita came up with Star protection Computer controls. Star protection is a type of communication technology that allows a Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and keep an eye on things while they’re being used to make sure they don’t get too hot, get too full, or get too low. For more versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and small Lithium-Ion batteries that have the Star symbol on them. These batteries have Star protection inside.
This is a great product that is very durable and heavy, but it is also very durable and ver. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE BOX. Because the tool is stuck in the box, I almost cut my finger off. It takes two hands to get it out. I took it out of the box, and the blade started whirling right away. The batteries were in, and they worked. Rather than lose a thumb, I dropped the thing and hit my foot. The next person who buys this should cut the whole box open.
