Makita XSL04PTU 18V X2 LXT 10′ Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit with AWS & Laser

Introducing the Makita XSL04PTU 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 10′ Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit, a remarkable addition to any professional or DIY enthusiast’s toolkit. This advanced miter saw is designed to deliver exceptional power, speed, and versatility, making it ideal for a wide variety of cutting applications. Equipped with state-of-the-art features, this miter saw ensures precise and efficient cutting every time.

One of the standout features of the Makita XSL04PTU is its innovative power system. Powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries, this tool provides the performance of a 36V saw without the constraints of being tethered to a power outlet. The Makita-built electronically controlled BL Brushless motor operates at an impressive 4,400 RPM, allowing for faster and smoother cuts. This brushless motor technology not only enhances performance but also extends the life of the tool by eliminating carbon brushes.

The integration of Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) is another significant advantage of the XSL04PTU. Utilizing Bluetooth technology, this system allows for seamless wireless communication between the saw and an optional dust extractor (sold separately). This feature greatly reduces noise and the hassle of cords, making your workspace cleaner and more efficient. With AWS, you can focus on your work without the distractions caused by cords and excessive dust.

For those who require precise cuts, the XSL04PTU doesn’t disappoint. It features automatic speed change technology that adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut, ensuring optimal performance under varying loads. The unique 2-steel rail sliding system design allows for smooth and accurate cutting, right out of the box, and its compact footprint enables the saw to be positioned flush against walls, maximizing your workspace.

The saw’s direct-drive gearbox and guard system provide increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4”) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8” nested), making it the leader in its class for cutting applications. The XSL04PTU can effortlessly crosscut a 4×12 at 90 degrees. Additionally, it features mitering capabilities from 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60°, allowing for precise angle cuts.

Adjustments are easy and efficient, thanks to the conveniently located bevel lock positioned at the front of the saw, allowing for quick adjustments from 0° to 48° left and right. The direct drive technology ensures smoother start-ups with consistent power, eliminating the need for belts that can slip or require replacement. Added convenience is provided by the electric brake, which enhances safety and user control.

Included with the XSL04PTU is a high-quality 60T carbide-tipped blade, which ensures clean, accurate cuts every time. The built-in laser guide indicates the line of cut, further enhancing precision. Improved dust collection capability allows users to connect a dust bag (included) or a vacuum (sold separately) for a cleaner work environment. The large aluminum base adds stability, making cutting stock more efficient and effective.

This miter saw is part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, recognized as the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion batteries are celebrated for their rapid charge times, allowing users to spend more time working and less time charging. To enhance tool performance and battery longevity, Makita has introduced Star Protection Computer Controls. This innovative technology enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery, protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

For added flexibility, the XSL04PTU can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries, provided they feature the Star symbol, indicating the presence of Star Protection technology. This versatility ensures that the tool can adapt to various battery configurations, meeting the needs of different users.
