Description

Makita is the innovation leader in Brushless motor technology, and the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless cordless 6-1/2” Circular saw (model XSH03T) combines power and run-time for faster cutting and ripping – without the cord. The XSH03T is equipped with automatic speed Change technology, which adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance. The Makita BL Brushless motor is engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery provides 65% more run time per charge than the 3.0Ah battery (BL1830), yet it charges in only 45 minutes – the fastest charge-time in the Category – for less downtime and increased productivity. For added convenience, the batteries feature an on-board L.E.D. Charge level indicator. The XSH03T features extreme protection technology (XPT), engineered for increased dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions. 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.

    • Far superior to other Makita models... Superb, well thought out design touches.
Style: Bare Tool, no battery
I've used 4 different Makita 6.5" circular saw models on the job site and can confidently say that this unit (XSH03Z) is far and wide better than the rest. Biggest pluses are: 1) Brushless motor - runs cooler, longer battery life, and translates in to more power. 2) LED illumination - just enough additional light to ensure the cut is on point. 3) 5,000 RPM with automatic torque converter - This extra speed makes a surprising amount of difference compared to the 3,000-4,000 RPM models. The blades cut far smoother and there is far less tear out from your material. It makes a battery powered saw cut and feel like a high power corded saw. The automatic torque adjuster kicks in should your material be extra tough...it drops the RPM's down but kicks up the torque to prevent bogging down / binding. Very nice touch! 4) 45 degree lock on the bevel - there is a nice flip down tab that allows quick adjustment to a rock solid 45 degree bevel cut... As opposed to eyeballing where the 45-degree mark actually is. Nice time saver that ensures consistency. 5) Brake - the automatically engaging blade brake that kicks in after the trigger is released is a wonderful plus. Once you have that feature, you'll never go back. As for negatives, for the price & class of the saw, there really are next to none. However, here are the couple that stick out: 1) for a saw that costs in the 175-200 range, it is a bit ridiculous they don't include the $13 Makita 164095-8 Rip Fence with it. It's not a critical accessory by any means, but it's sometimes nice to have and worth the ten bucks or so. 2) I wish this model had the blower that puffed air by the front area of the blade to improve visibility (like the finish saw model). Not a big issue, but would be nice. In summary, this is a first rate saw in its class. Other than this item, the next real step-up is the Festool track saw (which I own & love like no other)... however, this saw & vacuum combo runs in the $1,500 range and is like comparing apples to oranges. ... show more

Review Image by Ron Killian Ron Killian
I've been a Makita fan for some time, building up my 18v collection, so this was a no brainer. Not to mention the price was the best I found any where. I had some batteries, but bought a new 4Ah battery just for this saw. Good enough reason to buy a new battery, right? Can never have enough. The last cordless saw I used was my dads old 19.2 volt craftsman, and that one was "okay", nothing spectacular. So I was a little hesitant when it comes to cordless saws. Boy was I wrong and missing out. Why did I want so long? Can't say I've used it too much, but everything I cut, it's been very powerful. Lately I've been breaking down some 3/4 MDF sheets and it cuts through it like nothing. No bogging down, just cuts right through, and this is with the stock blade, which makes a pretty smooth cut. I also love the dust collection port, that works very well. Cutting the MDF, there was no dust around, or very little. Works surprising well. Best yet, my hose hooks up nicely. Since buying this saw, I have not used my old corded Makita 7 1/4" circular. Haven't needed it. Plus the old saw has NO dust collection. Adjustments are easy and all there. I could do without the rafter hook, as I am a home woodworker. Before I bought this unit, I was so close to buying the black compact brushless and I am so glad I did not. For one it costs more, but after reading reviews and video reviews and checking it out, it is made so much cheaper. My only complaint is that I had to buy the dust collection port separately, it should come with the saw. Also I had to buy the port somewhere else. Very happy with the tool, glad to cut the cord and real happy to have dust collection on a circular saw. Would buy again without hesitation. ... show more

    • Awesome Saw!!
Style: Bare Tool, no battery
This is the second one we've purchased after the first took a tumble from staging for a second time. The first time we replaced the plate but needed a full replacement the 2nd time. It's small but strong and gets the job done. Being cordless and compact definitely makes it a go to tool on job sites. This saw is a must have. ... show more

    • Best 18 volt circular saw yet!
Style: Bare Tool, no battery
Great little saw, the higher rpm makes a big difference compared to the old models. Easy to read labels and the cast metal parts are a nice feature. No complaints, it performs better than expected. The included blade is doing fine, its just a 24T rough framing blade but its holding up well so far. No worse than any other mid level thin 24T framing blade. Nice cuts, good battery life cutting 2 x material. ... show more

    • Great cordless saw
Style: Bare Tool, no battery
Plenty of power cutting 2x wood and ripping 3/4" plywood. Depth adjustment and angle adjust are easy to use. At first I thought the plate was plastic, but turned out it is metal. With the blade on the left side, making it easy to see the cut for a right handed person. The down side, saw ejects the saw dust all over your shirt and legs. I fixed that problem by getting the vacuum attachment and inserting a short length of pool line pipe and having it curve away from me. Saw now blows dust around the battery. to the other side of saw. I would buy one again if it walked off the job site or was damaged. ... show more

    • Should have purchased a long time ago
Style: Bare Tool, no battery
I used a plug-in circular for years, or more accurately, I used it occasionally for years, because it often felt like it wasn't worth it to run a power cord all the way to the work area back behind my shed. I bought this saw because I already had two Makita tools with this size battery, and now I'm using it ALL the time. It's so easy to grab it and use it for even a small one cut job, because there is zero prep work required to use it. I have no issues with the power level or the usability. It works great. ... show more
