We take a look at the fairly new to market 40v XGT saw from Makita.
Rear handle design and looks similar to the 18v x2 LXT model the XSR01.
Has upgraded specs. but does it perform as you would expect?
Yes. Performs well. With a 4ah battery it's currently the 2nd fastest saw on the leaderboard.
Good refined feeling, upgraded speed, added blade wrench storage, added dust port is just the simple list of upgrades over the XSR01 model.
OUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 6,400 RPM for faster cutting performance
OUTSMART: Automatic Torque drive adjusts cutting speed under load for optimum cutting performance
OUTLAST: XPT is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh jobsite conditions
