Our verdict

A cordless sliding miter saw for job sites without outlets, powered by two batteries. It is a bare tool and weighs a lot, and the listing has conflicting speed and tooth figures.

Overview

A job site with no outlet nearby is where this cordless Makita miter saw earns its place. Two LXT batteries combine for the full voltage, and a brushless motor, laser and two steel rails support dual bevel sliding cuts.

Choose it for cutting trim, crown and framing lumber away from power while staying on the LXT platform. The limitation is the extras: batteries and a charger are separate, and the data disagrees with itself on rpm and tooth count.

Who it's for

A carpenter already holding Makita LXT batteries who needs a miter saw that travels between sites. Setup is quick with the included vise and rule. Anyone who must buy batteries from scratch should add that to the plan.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cordless sliding miter saw
  • Two rail slide system
  • Dual bevel with laser
  • Vise and rule included
Cons
  • Batteries and charger not included
  • Heavy to carry
  • Conflicting speed and tooth entries

Performance notes

The brushless motor is electronically controlled and Automatic Speed Change adjusts cutting speed and torque under load. The two steel rails give a slide with a smaller footprint, so the saw can sit flush to a wall. Runtime depends entirely on the two batteries you supply.
