The Makita XBP02TX is the complete kit version of the XBP02Z portable band saw, bundled with two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, a Rapid Optimum Charger, a band saw blade, and a contractor tool bag. The Makita-built brushed motor delivers variable speed from 275 to 530 ft./min. for cutting pipe, conduit, and strut up to 4-3/4 in. in diameter. A variable-speed control dial and built-in LED light round out the feature set. Everything you need to start cutting is included.
What batteries come with the XBP02TX?
The kit includes two BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries — the highest-capacity single-pack in the standard LXT line. Paired with the included DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger, you can recharge a 5.0Ah pack in about 45 minutes.
Is the XBP02TX the same tool as the XBP02Z?
Yes. The XBP02TX contains the identical XBP02Z band saw with the same 44-7/8 in. blade, 4-3/4 in. cutting capacity, and variable speed range of 275–530 ft./min. The TX suffix simply denotes the kit bundle with two 5.0Ah batteries, charger, blade, and tool bag.
Does the XBP02TX include a carrying case?
Yes. The kit ships with a contractor tool bag (831263-5) for transporting the saw, batteries, and charger together. It is a soft bag, not a hard MAKPAC case.
What is the cutting capacity of the XBP02TX?
Like the tool-only XBP02Z, it cuts round stock up to 4-3/4 in. in diameter and rectangular workpieces up to 4-3/4 x 4-3/4 in. — enough for most conduit, pipe, and unistrut applications.
Is the motor brushless?
No. The XBP02TX uses a brushed motor. For a brushless upgrade on the LXT platform, consider the XBP04Z tool-only or its kit variants, which offer extended motor life and improved efficiency.
Can I use the batteries from the XBP02TX with other Makita 18V tools?
Yes. The included BL1850B batteries are standard 18V LXT slide-style packs compatible with over 300 tools in the Makita 18V LXT system.
