Combined expertise resulted in the Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser Kit (5.0Ah). Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology and miter saw innovation. This miter saw is powered by two 18V lithium-ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT platform. Miter saw powered by two LXT batteries; X2 LXT technology delivers more power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord Makita built electronically-controlled BL brushless motor delivers 4,400 RPM for faster and smoother cutting BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation; reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall Increased capacity for up to 8 in. crown molding (vertically nested), 6-3/4 in. baseboard (vertical) and 15 in. crosscuts at 90 Miters 0-60 left and right; bevels 0-48 left and right Get up to 175 cuts per charge in 2x12 SPF lumber with two 5.0Ah batteries Miter saw features X2 LXT technology to deliver increased power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord In-front bevel lock for convenient operation Miter saw includes (2) 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, dual port rapid charger, blade, dust bag, vertical clamp, wrench and triangle 3-year limited warranty on tool, battery and charger
