Battery-powered miter saw 260 mm XGT 40Vmax BLDC, AWS, DXT LS004GZ01

Powerful Cordless Cutting in Large Dimensions

This model is the answer to the needs of professional carpenters and fitters who require precision when processing thick profiles but do not want to be limited by a power cord. The device utilizes the XGT 40V Max battery platform, meaning it achieves parameters comparable to corded table saws while maintaining mobility. The absence of a cable allows for free movement around the construction site or workshop, and the brushless (BLDC) motor ensures constant power even under heavy material loads. This enables work in locations where access to electricity is difficult or impossible, without compromising cutting quality.

Precision and Cutting Range for Demanding Applications

A key element of this miter saw is the large 260 mm diameter blade, which allows processing of materials with significant thickness and width. In the straight position (90°), the device handles wood up to 310 mm wide at a depth of 68 mm, or up to 279 mm at a depth of 91 mm, making it an ideal tool for processing structural beams or large-cross-section finishing moldings. At a 45° bevel angle, this range is 218x68 mm or 197x91 mm, respectively.

Thanks to the dual bevel system, these angles can be set to both the left and right sides. The bevel reaches up to 48° in both directions, allowing for precise corner joints without the need to rotate the entire material. Similarly, the miter allows settings up to 60° in both directions – a solution essential for finishing works such as processing baseboards or window frames.

The high blade rotational speed of 3600 rpm guarantees clean cutting edges even in hard wood species or composite materials. The 1600 W motor (converted to corded equivalent) provides sufficient torque to prevent the tool from binding when cutting thick elements.

Work Comfort and Safety Systems

Working with such a large device requires stability and safety, which is why the construction was designed with ergonomics and user protection in mind. A weight of approximately 26 kg (depending on configuration) ensures stability during operation, minimizing vibrations and the risk of the machine shifting under cutting forces.

It is worth noting several key technical solutions:

• The AWS (Air Waste System) integrates directly with an industrial vacuum cleaner, significantly improving visibility of the cutting line and workplace hygiene through effective dust removal.
• The standard blade mounting with a 30 mm bore diameter facilitates the exchange of accessories for other cutting blades available on the market without the need for specialized adapters.
• The manufacturer offers an extended 3-year warranty, which is standard for professional Makita XGT cordless equipment upon product registration within the appropriate timeframe.

Please note that the device is sold without a battery and charger ("body only"), allowing users who already own the XGT system to utilize their existing energy resources. For new users, this means the necessity to purchase a starter kit, but it provides full flexibility in selecting battery capacity for specific task types – from light finishing work to heavy structural processing. Cutting capabilities change dynamically with the head angle setting: at perpendicular cutting, maximum cross-section width is achieved (up to 310 mm), which decreases as the bevel angle increases to approximately 218 mm at a 45-degree setting.
