Ideal for pros seeking cordless freedom without compromising on power or precision.

## Description

Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4” Circular Saw (XSR01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It's powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18V 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 18V batteries with the XSR01Z as they use across the expansive Makita 18V LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01Z 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 XSR01Z made up to 558 cross-cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber using two fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16” cutting capacity at 90 degrees 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, sold separately). It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Review: It’s a great tool. - I’ve used corded skill 77’s for most of my life so this took me a minute to get used to but I’ve learned to love it. Good power and torque, the batteries charge fast enough to be helpful, the batteries last long in the field, and the tool size is very similar to the skill saws. In addition, the table and angle adjustments are more precise than my old skillsaws and the weight is virtually equal to my skillsaws, plus no cord! Very functional and easy to use in the field, and the motor seems to be a little quieter.
Review: A welcome change from a worm drive! - I'm a contractor and this thing so far is up to the professional requirements of a jobsite. It's noticeably lighter than a corded magnesium worm drive, but not so light that it can't push through material. Seems like the perfect balance. A rear handle saw needs to have some weight, but doing a lot of repetitive work with a standard corded saw can be hard on the arms and wrists, so it's nice to shed a few pounds with this thing. Using two 5ah batteries this thing seems to go all day, though if you were to do a lot of rips though you'd probably have to change the batteries once during the day. I do have some criticisms about it though, one being that the rafter hook is awkward. I think it's designed to be able to hang off of a 3x material or an LVL, just something larger than the 1 5/8" you'd need for 2x, but since most of us are most of the time hanging things off of 2x the extra play in the hook can leave the saw hanging a bit loosely. I prefer the way a worm drive hook hangs the saw, but maybe I'll find a day when the larger hook really earns its keep? The other thing, more of a nuance, is the safety button needed to engage the trigger. Still not quite used to it. I'm all for safety's as much as possible, but I'm very used to only needing one finger to start a skill saw. There's really not a whole lot more that can be said about it, it performs very well for its intended purpose. I do think the DeWalt is also a very good saw, and I'd like to try them both side by side, and one thing that I believe the DeWalt has on this thing is the way that the dust is ejected from the housing. I saw a side by side comparison of the two and I could see how well the DeWalt dealt with the dust, while the Makita shoots it straight down onto the workpiece. Not a deal killer, but definitely a leg up when doing rips. These small details matter if you use this tool a lot, so just something to consider. While we're on the subject, it would be nice to only have to deal with changing one battery, instead of two. I'm not going to dock any stars for these things, but basically, there's competition :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the shipping dimensions and weight**
A: It comes in a box inside a box approx 12 x 14 x 20. 10 to 12 lbs.

**Q: Does this tool come with a case of some kind?**
A: XSR01Z is the 36V (18V LXT x2) Bare Tool (saw & blade only) and does not come with accessories. 
If you are looking at the XSR01PT, it is the Kit which includes the XSR01Z saw, 2 5A batteries, double port charger and a nice bag. Sadly the bag does not come with a shoulder strap, like most of their kits with bags do. Also, the saw does not come with a rip fence for the oversized track on the plate. This is Makita's top of the line 18V circular saw and a fantastic saw, they should have thrown in the shoulder strap and the rip fence.

**Q: Im trying to buy the kit option what's include in the whole kit?**
A: The description should provide full details, but at the very least, you get the tote bag, dual-port charger, and 2 5.0 AH batteries in addition to the saw. If you don't already have a dual-port charger, getting the kit is not a bad idea. Ditto if you don't have at least 4.0 AH batteries.

**Q: Does this come with batteries and dual charger for the $199 price?**
A: I think it says tool only batteries and charger is sold separately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Saw
*by Á***A on July 27, 2025*

I bought this Makita saw with two batteries, and I’m sure it’s the best saw you can get. It lasts all day without needing a recharge and works perfectly. The power and durability are way better than Dewalt or Milwaukee. If you need a reliable saw that can handle a full day of work without slowing down, this is the one to get!
