Makita£¬ a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation£¬ combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (XSR01PT). It’s powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance and has an electronically controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord£¬ even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all£¬ users can remain in one battery platform£¬ using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XSR01PT as they use across the expansive 18-Volt LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01PT has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. Users of leading corded saws will appreciate the blade-left rear-handle design. The electronically controlled brushless motor delivers a full 5£¬100 RPM for efficient cutting. In internal testing£¬ the XSR01PT made up to 558 crosscuts per charge in 2×4 SPF lumber using 2 fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16 in. cutting capacity at 90 degree that will cut 3X lumber in a single pass and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing£¬ which combines durability with less weight (only 12.4 lbs. with batteries).
