Makita XSH06Z 18V X2 LXT Brushless Cordless 7-1/4” Circular Saw, Tool Only, Maximum Performance

Introducing the Makita XSH06Z 18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 7-1/4” Circular Saw. This tool, designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike, delivers exceptional performance without the constraints of a cord. Powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately), it utilizes Makita’s advanced x2 LXT technology to provide more power, speed, and extended run time. This innovative approach allows users to tackle demanding cutting tasks with ease.

The heart of the XSH06Z is its electronically controlled BL Brushless motor, which reaches an impressive 6,000 RPM. This high-speed capability ensures maximum performance during all cutting applications. The brushless technology not only enhances efficiency but also increases the lifespan of the tool by eliminating carbon brushes, allowing the motor to run cooler and more effectively.

One of the standout features of the XSH06Z is its automatic speed change technology. This intelligent system continuously monitors both the cutting speed and torque, adjusting them in real time for optimum performance under varying loads. This means you can achieve precise cuts consistently, regardless of the material you are working with.

In extensive internal testing, the Makita XSH06Z has proven to be highly efficient, making up to 610 cross-cuts per charge in standard 2×4 SPF lumber when powered by two fully charged 5.0Ah batteries. This remarkable efficiency translates to increased productivity on the job site, allowing you to complete projects faster and with less downtime.

The construction of the XSH06Z includes a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard, combined with a die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing. This design not only enhances durability but also keeps the overall weight down, making it easier to handle during extended use. Additionally, the saw is equipped with a built-in dust blower that helps maintain a clear line of sight while cutting, ensuring precision and safety.

For enhanced usability, the XSH06Z features a built-in tether notch, allowing users to secure the tool safely when not in use (tether sold separately). This adds an extra layer of convenience, especially when working at height or in tight spaces.

Part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the XSH06Z is compatible with the world’s largest cordless tool platform powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. With the fastest charging times in their category, Makita batteries ensure you spend more time working and less time waiting.

To further enhance tool longevity and performance, Makita has integrated Star Protection Computer Controls into the XSH06Z. This sophisticated communication technology allows the tool and battery to exchange real-time data, protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For added flexibility, the XSH06Z can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries that feature the Star symbol, signifying the presence of Star protection inside.

In summary, the Makita XSH06Z 18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 7-1/4” Circular Saw is an exceptional tool designed for those who demand high performance and reliability. Its combination of advanced technology, lightweight construction, and impressive cutting capacity makes it a top choice for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.
