About Makita XSL02Z 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/2" Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw
Overall Feedback:
63% positive
66% praised for its precise cuts
This saw is incredibly accurate out of the box. Two 45 degree cuts come together practically perfectly, much better than my 10 inch Makita slider that cost less.
After squaring it up with a machinist square, I have found that the saw is dead on square across its widest cutting range.
67% appreciated the long-lasting blade, but 33% experienced blade degradation
I am frustrated with the saw as the roughness of the blade is unacceptable. I have never experienced anything like it with any of my other saws or tools, including other Makita sliders.
69% appreciated its powerful motor, though 31% experienced motor overload
When I move the saw slowly, the bearings are rough and noisy, but not when I move it quickly.
78% appreciated the advanced safety features, though 22% found them restrictive
The bearings in the upper slider are very rough and it is an exception to the safety features of the miter-saw.
76% liked its lightweight and portable design
I mounted this saw onto an all beech wood kitchen cart from ikea and now I can roll it anywhere and it only occupies less than 4 square feet of floor space.
