Makita is the leader in brushless motor technology and the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 5-7/8 in. Metal Cutting Saw (model XSC02T) delivers faster metal cutting through Unistrut, all thread, channel, corrugated, conduit, pipe, sheet metal, square tubing, steel and more. With a full 2-1/4 in. cutting capacity, it is ideal for electrical contractors since it will cut 2 in. conduit in one pass – a huge time saver. It is also ideal for HVAC, installation, metal building, metal fabrication, plumbing, metal roofing and for any pro-contractor who requires a best-in-class cordless metal cutting saw. The kit includes 2 fast-charging 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah batteries and a Rapid Optimum Charger. Makita offers 4 optimum 5-7/8 in. blade options for use with the XSC02T: 32T carbide tipped for metal and general purpose; 52T for thin metal; 52T for aluminum; and 60T for stainless steel (all sold separately). For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
