Makita Sub-Compact gives users 12V handling with 18V performance, and compatibility with the world’s largest 18V cordless tool system. The XSH04ZB is engineered for cutting and ripping applications, and is ideal for any contractor seeking a more compact cutting solution for framing, roofing, formwork, and more. The Sub-Compact 6-1/2” Circular Saw has a compact and ergonomic design at only 10-5/8” and 6. 4 lbs. (with 18V LXT Compact 2. 0Ah battery, battery and charger sold separately). The compact size combined with the Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 5, 000 RPM and a superior power-to-weight ratio. The saw is equipped with Makita’s Automatic Speed Change technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque under load for optimum cutting performance. The efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to provide up to 50% longer run time than non-brushless motors, and in run-time testing the XSH04 made up to 350 cross-cuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber using one 2. 0Ah battery (sold separately). For extended run time users can load up a high amp-hour 18V LXT battery (all sold separately) including 2. 0Ah (BL1820B), 3. 0Ah (BL1830B), 4. 0Ah (BL1840B), 5. 0Ah (BL1850B) or 6. 0Ah (BL1860B). Added convenience features include dual L. E. D. lights, electric brake, built-in tether notch (tether sold separately), and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT ) for improved dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions. For improved dust extraction, the rear dust port easily connects to a vacuum system (dust extraction accessories sold separately). It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18V LXT 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.

This thing ripped 3/4 plywood like a hot knife through butter. Was considering the brushed version for about $50 less, but my brother’s in construction and said a guy on his crew has one and loves it. They call it “butters” because of the way it cuts through anything . Maybe I’ll call mine “Timmayyy”. Even with a 5ah battery it’s less than half the weight of the corded worm drive beast it replaced. I’ve read some reviews about these things failing after a few months but my bros friend has had his for a while…fingers crossed. I’m a diy guy, not pro, so this should be fine.

So many features at a good price. Does what I need in a small, light package. Auto stop is a great safety feature. Well made and well thought out. Depth adjustment is especially easy and secure. Surprisingly quiet.

The only reason I bought this saw was I already had an 18 volt Makita drill set with the same battery. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I used it to test it out. It is lightweight and cuts nicely through KD 2x4's etc. It has a 2 1/4" depth cut. Batteries go a ways before charging and have a feature to let you know what's left in the battery. If it had come with even a canvas-like carrying bag, I would give it a 5 star rating. You'd probably do better to buy the kit, but I already had 2 batteries and the charger. All that aside, it's worth the money.

充電式の丸鋸は、初めててますがとても取り回しが良くて使いやすくど思います。ブレーキもしっかりきいて素直に止まります。ただ、国産の替刃を使用の際20mm15.9mmの変換を使用するのてますが、1か月位でそれがすり減って刃が空回りしてしまう位かな。

You need to know what you’re buying and keep with the mantra “the right tool for the job.” If you’re buying a garage saw for weekend use then this is about as good as it gets. If you’re a pro builder then look elsewhere. Now to the good stuff: It’s a great addition to any growing 18v makita set, which are all fabulous. I used the saw for a couple of hours today and it’s so lightweight that I wasn’t fatigued at all. It’s super nimble and stretching across sheets of plywood was a breeze. When I first got going I pulled a half used 3.0a battery from my sawzall and it ate through that pretty quickly with only moderate performance, but with a fresh battery it was a total animal. Keep in mind I was using a new diablo 32T blade but I had no trouble ripping through oak planks with nails in them. You do have to go a bit slower than using a corded but that is expected. I also found that it dragged even so slightly on uneven surfaces. The guard is also really cheap plastic. All things considered though it’s a great saw and I would totally buy it again.

This is a beautiful compact saw. It’s solid build allows for accurate cuts and it takes up less space than their ginormous plunge saw. I highly recommend the Makita guide rail adapter which turns this into an effective track-saw. It makes short work of straight long cuts. There were a few things that could be improved, but this is not to take away from the overall functionality of it. It takes some patience to set and adjust the blade angle. The pressure of the pin that sets the blade angle seems to push it out of alignment if you let the saw sit for even a day. The saw struggles to make 45 degree bevel cuts through thick material - 45mm depth is impossible. Dust extraction could be better. With the Makita VC860DZ hooked up I'd say it collects around 80% of the dust when connected. It would be great if Makita could lead the way in optimizing dust extraction between their own products and ideally between other manufacturers. There’s no excuse for not including proper adapters for their vacuums, sanders, and saws. Good luck finding the right ones. I ended up having to sand down pvc pipes to get hoses connected even between Makita’s products. The bench top above was sliced perfectly with this saw and a Makita track.

I've had this saw for one hour and I'm excited to be the first to review it. I first added XSH03Z to my cart, then decided to compare it side-by-side with this (XSH04ZB).
