Makita 40V max XGT 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw – Bare Tool
Product Overview
The Makita 40V max XGT 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (GSL04Z) delivers the cutting capacity of a full-size miter saw with the mobility of Makita’s cordless XGT platform. Powered by a 40V max XGT battery and equipped with a brushless direct-drive motor, it is designed for professional woodworking, finish carpentry, remodeling, and construction applications.
Its 12-inch blade, sliding rail system, and dual-bevel capability provide the flexibility needed for crosscuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts. The saw also features an LED shadow-line system that helps the operator align the blade with the intended cut.
This is a bare-tool model, so the XGT battery and charger are sold separately.

- LED shadow-line technology provides a clear visual indication of the blade's cutting path.
- Electric brake helps stop the blade quickly after the trigger is released.
- Soft-start function provides a smoother start-up and helps reduce initial motor reaction.

Large Cutting Capacity
The GSL04Z is designed to handle substantial workpieces, with a maximum 90° crosscut capacity of 3-5/8 x 15 inches. This makes it suitable for cutting dimensional lumber, trim, baseboards, crown molding, and other large workpieces commonly encountered in construction and finish carpentry.
Dual-Bevel Flexibility
The dual-bevel mechanism allows the blade to tilt 48° to both the left and right. This eliminates the need to repeatedly reposition the workpiece when making opposing bevel cuts. The miter table provides adjustment up to 60° in either direction, giving the operator considerable flexibility for compound and angled cuts.
Brushless Direct-Drive Motor
Makita's brushless direct-drive system provides a direct connection between the motor and blade, avoiding the belt found on traditional belt-driven miter saws. The motor reaches 3,600 RPM, while electronic controls help manage power delivery according to the cutting load.
LED Shadow-Line System
The integrated LED shadow-line system projects the blade's shadow onto the workpiece. This creates a visible reference for positioning the material and helps the operator make accurate cuts without relying on a conventional laser line.
Rail-Forward Design
The sliding rail system is positioned toward the front of the saw rather than extending behind it. This rail-forward design allows the saw to be placed closer to a wall while preserving the sliding function, which can be useful in workshops and job sites where space is limited.
Cordless XGT Convenience
The 40V max XGT platform provides the flexibility to work without a power cord. The saw is well suited to mobile job-site applications and locations where running an extension cord is inconvenient.
Because this is the bare-tool version, users can pair it with their existing compatible Makita 40V max XGT batteries and charger.
AWS-Ready Dust Management
The GSL04Z is Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) capable. With the appropriate optional AWS accessories and compatible dust extractor, the saw can communicate wirelessly with the extractor to help coordinate dust collection during operation.
