Overview
The Makita XSR01PT is a battery-powered saw running on a 36 volt platform, drawing 5 amps and spinning at 5100 RPM. At 23.2 pounds it is a cordless tool built for cutting jobs away from an outlet.
A 36 volt battery platform paired with a 5100 RPM no-load speed points to a saw meant for construction-grade cutting rather than light hobby work. The 23.2 pound weight is heavier than many handheld cordless saws, which usually tracks with more motor and battery mass for sustained cutting power. No blade size or cut depth is listed in this data, so pairing it with the right material is worth confirming against the manufacturer's own spec sheet.
- 36 volt battery power source
- 5 amp motor draw
- 5100 RPM no-load speed
- 23.2 pound tool weight
Who it's for
Suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already invested in cordless power tools who want to cut without a cord tying them to an outlet. Casual users with only occasional cutting needs may find a corded saw simpler and cheaper.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 36 volt battery platform for cordless cutting
- 5100 RPM no-load speed
- 4.5 stars across 179 reviews
- 23.2 pounds is heavy for a handheld saw
- Blade size and cut capacity are not listed
Performance notes
5100 RPM is a strong no-load speed for a battery saw, and the 5 amp draw suggests a motor sized to hold that speed under load rather than bog down mid cut. The 23.2 pound weight will show up most on overhead or extended cuts.
