Makita XPS01PTJ — 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saw Kit (5.0Ah)

The Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 6-1/2” Plunge Circular Saw Kit (XPS01PTJ) delivers precise and more accurate cutting when combined with an optional guide rail system (sold separately). The saw and rail system work together to produce accurate cuts with minimal tear-out.
