Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw with AWS — Bare Tool
Product Overview
The Makita XPS02ZU 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw with AWS is designed for accurate, controlled cutting of large wood panels and other materials where clean, straight cuts are important. It uses two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries to deliver 36V-class cordless performance while remaining part of Makita's 18V LXT system.
A brushless motor provides variable speeds from 2,500 to 6,300 RPM, while Automatic Speed Change™ technology automatically adjusts cutting speed and torque according to the load. When paired with an optional Makita guide rail, the saw is suited to long, precise cuts with reduced tear-out.
This bare-tool model does not include batteries or a charger.
Key Features
18V X2 (36V) LXT power: Uses two 18V LXT batteries to provide cordless 36V-class performance.
Brushless motor: Makita's electronically controlled BL Brushless Motor delivers high cutting performance with a maximum no-load speed of 6,300 RPM.
Automatic Speed Change™: Adjusts speed and torque during cutting to maintain efficient performance as the load changes.
AWS® connectivity: Makita Automatic-start Wireless System uses Bluetooth™ technology to provide wireless on/off communication between the saw and a compatible dust extractor.
Variable speed control: A 2,500–6,300 RPM range allows the saw to be adjusted for different materials and applications.
Plunge-cut design: Allows controlled entry into the workpiece, making the tool useful for interior cutouts and panel work.
Guide-rail compatible: The saw base works with optional Makita guide rails for accurate straight and bevel cuts.
Bevel capability: Adjusts from -1° to 48°, with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°.
Dual bevel supports: Front and rear supports add rigidity when making bevel cuts.
Built-in depth stop: Allows a preliminary shallow cut of approximately 2–3 mm before completing the cut, helping minimize splintering.
Close-to-wall cutting: Can cut as close as 11/16" from a wall for additional installation flexibility.
Electronic speed control: Helps maintain a consistent speed under load.
Soft start and electric brake: Provides smoother start-up and quicker blade stopping.
Star Protection Computer Controls™: Helps protect the tool and battery against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.
Cutting Performance
The XPS02ZU provides a maximum cutting depth of:
2-3/16" at 90°
1-9/16" at 45°
1-1/2" at 48°
Its plunge-cut configuration and guide-rail compatibility make it particularly useful for breaking down sheet goods and making long, controlled cuts in panels.
