The Makita XSL07Z is a 36V (18V X2) LXT brushless 12 in. dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw with a built-in laser guide, sold as tool only. The brushless motor delivers 4,400 RPM and the 2-steel rail sliding system allows operation flush against a wall. It crosscuts up to 15 in. wide at 90 degrees, bevels 0 to 48 degrees in both directions, and miters 0 to 60 degrees left and right. Two 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) are required to operate. Listed weight is 69.1 lbs. with batteries installed.
Does the XSL07Z include batteries?
No. The XSL07Z is a tool-only model. It requires two 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) to operate. If you need a complete kit with batteries and charger, the XSL07PT includes two BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries and a DC18RD dual-port rapid charger.
What is the maximum crosscut capacity of the XSL07Z?
At 90 degrees, the XSL07Z crosscuts up to 3-5/8 in. x 15 in. This allows it to handle 4x lumber and wide boards in a single pass. Crown capacity is 8 in. nested and base molding capacity is 6-3/4 in. vertical.
How does the XSL07Z compare to the XSL08Z?
Both saws share the same cutting specs, blade size, RPM, bevel, and miter ranges. The XSL08Z added AWS (Auto-Start Wireless System) capability for automatic dust extractor pairing. The XSL08Z has been discontinued and the XSL07Z is Makita's current production 12 in. tool-only brushless miter saw.
Can the XSL07Z be positioned against a wall?
Yes. The 2-steel rail sliding system reduces the rear footprint during the cut, allowing the saw to operate with its back close to a wall. This space-saving design is particularly useful in workshops and garages with limited depth.
What arbor size does the XSL07Z use?
The XSL07Z uses a 12 in. blade with a 1 in. arbor. Standard 12 in. miter saw blades with a 1 in. arbor hole are compatible and widely available in various tooth counts and configurations.
