Makita 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless 7-1/4" Circular Saw

The Makita 18V X2 LXT Circular Saw delivers corded-level cutting power without the hassle of a power cord, making it an excellent choice for professionals and DIYers already invested in the Makita 18V battery ecosystem.

The Makita 18V X2 LXT Circular Saw brings genuine cordless muscle to the jobsite by combining two 18V LXT batteries to deliver 36 volts of power, matching the output and cutting capability of a corded circular saw without being tethered to an outlet. This dual-battery system runs through a brushless motor engineered for efficiency, allowing the saw to maintain consistent RPM even under load when ripping through dimensional lumber, plywood, or engineered materials. Contractors and framers who have grown tired of extension cords or the limitations of single-battery saws will appreciate the way this tool closes the gap between cordless convenience and corded performance, making it a practical choice for framing crews, deck builders, and remodelers who need reliable cutting power all day long. Built around a 7-1/4 inch blade, the saw offers a cutting depth suitable for tackling thick stock at both 90 and 45 degree bevel settings, with clearly marked bevel and depth scales that make quick adjustments straightforward even when wearing gloves. The magnesium components used in key areas of the housing help keep the tool light in the hand while still standing up to the abuse of daily use on rough job sites. Makita also incorporated an electric brake that stops the blade quickly once the trigger is released, adding a layer of confidence when moving between cuts or setting the saw down between tasks. The large, comfortable grip and well-balanced weight distribution reduce fatigue during long cutting sessions, which matters when a crew is making hundreds of cuts across a workday. Because it draws from the broader Makita 18V LXT battery platform, this circular saw fits into an ecosystem many tradespeople already own, letting them share batteries and chargers across drills, impact drivers, and other outdoor power equipment rather than investing in a separate battery standard just for one tool. The saw's dust blower helps keep the cut line visible, and the rafter hook offers a convenient way to store the tool safely on-site between uses. Whether used for framing walls, cutting sheet goods, or general carpentry work, the Makita 18V X2 LXT Circular Saw delivers the torque, runtime, and reliability that professionals expect from a corded saw, all while cutting the cord and giving users the freedom to work wherever the job takes them.
