About This Product
The Makita 18-Volt X2 (36V) LXT Brushless 6-1/2 in Plunge Circular Saw Kit (XPS01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) 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. The saw combines a powerful Makita-built brushless motor powered by two 18-Volt LXT batteries with automatic speed change technology, which adjusts cutting speed and torque during the cut for optimum performance. The saw has a variable speed control dial (2,500 - 6,300 RPM), with soft start and an electric brake for added convenience. It has a large 2-3/16 in cutting capacity at 90°, with a bevel capability of -1 to 48 and positive stops at 22.5 and 45. When used with a rail system (sold separately) the plunge circular saw is a more portable option to a table saw for select applications, and is ideal for use on the job site or in a workshop. 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 indicating star protection inside.

Festool and Makita plunge cut track saws might fit on each others tracks but the blade offsets might be a bit different and therefore when you run one saw on the other saws track are you not ruining the rail splinter guards for use of the correct saw?
I have both saws and both tracks. I have used them interchangeably but once you cut the splinter guard your cut will be off if you switch back.
In my experience the offset varies slightly between every saw. The bigger difference is in the blade used in each saw. Makita now comes with an ultra thin kerf blade that won't work with Festool because the riving knife is thicker than the blade.
Thank you for your question. Makita does not recommend using accessories or attachments other than those specifically made for the tool being used.
Why does Makita only make tools in China? They are not friends of the USA. Can I buy one made in Japan?
Thank you for your question. Please be advised that all of Makita Corporation's manufacturing centers around the world are held to the same Quality Criteria.
Don't be an idiot.
Does this come with the track
Than you for your question. No this doesn't come with track.
