Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Compact Band Saw Kit (5.0Ah)
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Compact Band Saw Kit (5.0Ah) is a portable metal-cutting solution designed for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, fabricators, contractors, and maintenance professionals. Its compact band-saw design makes it easier to cut conduit, pipe, threaded rod, angle iron, and other metal stock where a larger saw would be cumbersome.
Powered by Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery platform, the saw provides cordless mobility without sacrificing the controlled cutting action expected from a band saw. The 5.0Ah battery included in the kit provides extended operating capacity for demanding jobs.
Key Features
- 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless operation eliminates the need for an extension cord.
- Compact, portable design is convenient for overhead and confined-space cutting.
- Designed primarily for metal cutting applications.
- Variable-speed operation helps the user match cutting speed to the material.
- Electric current limiter helps protect the motor from overload during demanding cuts.
- LED job light illuminates the cutting area.
- Compact cutting head improves visibility around the workpiece.
- Trigger lock button helps prevent accidental activation.
- Tool-free blade tracking adjustment simplifies blade maintenance.
- Designed for one-handed operation in appropriate applications.
- Includes an 18V LXT 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery and charger.
- Compatible with Makita's broad 18V LXT cordless tool system.
Compact Metal-Cutting Performance
A compact band saw provides a controlled alternative to reciprocating saws and abrasive cutting tools when making straight cuts through metal stock.
The Makita compact band saw is useful for cutting:
- Electrical conduit
- Threaded rod
- Pipe
- Tubing
- Angle iron
- Unistrut and similar channel
- Metal bar stock
- Other compatible metal materials
Selecting the correct blade for the material and thickness is important for achieving clean cuts and maximizing blade life.
Variable-Speed Control
The saw's variable-speed capability allows the operator to adjust the blade speed according to the application. Lower speeds can be useful for certain harder materials, while higher speeds can improve productivity with suitable materials.
Proper blade speed should always be matched to the blade manufacturer's recommendations and the material being cut.
Cordless Convenience
The 18V LXT platform eliminates the need to locate an electrical outlet or manage an extension cord. This is particularly useful for tradespeople working on active construction sites, in mechanical rooms, inside buildings under construction, or in elevated work areas.
The compact form factor also makes the saw easier to transport from one work area to another.
Compact Design for Confined Areas
The compact band-saw configuration is designed for applications where a full-size portable band saw may be too large or difficult to position.
Its smaller profile can be particularly useful when cutting:
- Above ceilings
- Between framing members
- Inside equipment rooms
- Around installed piping
- Near electrical conduit
- In tight mechanical spaces
LED Work Light
An integrated LED light illuminates the cutting area, helping improve visibility when working in dark mechanical rooms, under vehicles, inside cabinets, or in other areas with limited ambient lighting.
Built-In Protection
Makita incorporates electronic protection features into its cordless platform to help protect the tool and battery during demanding operation. An electric current limiter can help protect the motor from overload when the blade encounters excessive resistance.
These systems are intended to enhance durability, but the operator should still avoid forcing the blade through material beyond the saw's rated capacity.
Tool-Free Blade Tracking Adjustment
The band saw includes a blade-tracking adjustment system that allows the operator to maintain proper blade alignment. Correct tracking is important for smooth operation and can help reduce premature blade wear.
Before operating the saw, inspect the blade and confirm that it is properly installed and tensioned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5.0Ah LXT Battery
The kit includes a 5.0Ah 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery, providing a combination of runtime and portability.
Actual battery runtime depends on:
- Material being cut
- Material thickness
- Blade type
- Cutting frequency
- Operator technique
- Battery condition
- Ambient temperature
The included charger allows the battery to be recharged between work periods.

This prevents specifications from a different Makita compact band saw from being incorrectly combined with this product.
