The Makita LS002G 40V Max XGT Cordless Brushless Slide Compound Mitre Saw 216mm is a battery saw for joiners who hate trailing leads. It runs on the Makita 40V XGT battery platform. The 216mm blade is driven by a soft start brushless motor. It is sold as a bare tool or as a kit with batteries and charger.
Cutting capacity reaches 312mm wide at 70mm deep. The mitre table swings 60 degrees left and right. The bevel tilts 48 degrees each way, and a front knob makes that adjustment easy. Material supports hold wider workpieces level. An easy mitre angle lock saves time when you change setups.
The brushless motor runs at 4,800 rpm with no load. It also gives constant speed control and an electric brake. A rail forward design lets the back of the saw sit close to a wall. An LED job light shows the cut line. At 16.4 to 17.0kg it is far lighter than most corded slide saws.
The standout extra is the AWS Auto Start Wireless System. Pair it with a compatible Bluetooth dust extractor and it switches the extractor on when you pull the trigger. That keeps dust down with no extra effort. Note that this saw ships with no battery and no charger, so check you own XGT batteries already.
