About This Product

The 40V max XGT Brushless 10" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (GSL03Z, tool only) delivers faster and smoother cutting. The rail-forward design maximizes workspace when the miter saw is positioned flush against a wall. The miter saw has a large 2-13/16" x 12" cutting capacity at 90-degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right and bevels from 0° to 48° (left and right). The efficient brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life. Extension wings all for cutting longer materials and retract for easier storage. An electric brake provides maximum productivity. For improved efficiency, it is equipped with Auto-start Wireless System technology. AWS utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped GSL03Z is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers-up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running.

Highlights

  • OUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers 3,600 RPM for faster cutting performance
  • OUTSMART: The digital communication within XGT optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications
  • OUTLAST: The digital communication within XGT actively monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating
  • Large 2-13/16" x 12" cutting capacity at 90°; cuts up to 6-5/8" crown molding (vertically nested) and 5-1/4" baseboard (vertical)
  • Miters 0-60° left and right, Bevels 0-45° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 31.6°, 45°, and 60° left and right
  • Extension wings for cutting longer material; retractable for more compact storage
  • Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
  • Electric brake for maximum productivity
  • Bevel angle lock and release dial at front of tool for easy access and repositioning

      Can you use a 8 1/4" saw blade with this saw? There are very few specialty 8 1/2" blades available.

      Huh? NO this is a 12" saw so an 8 1/2" blade can not be used.

                  There seem to be so many Makita mitre models and I can’t tell what the differences are. There’s XGT DXT and I think another. And ones 850 and the other 1500? Basically just want a 12inch, shadow line would be great and either 40v or corded.

                    Best purchase I made.
                    After having corded for the longest time I decided to switch to cordless and honestly it’s the best decision I made. All the moving parts feel so smooth too. Have had it for a while and so far it’s done a great job.

                    Returned with no issues from Home Depot due to the blade break no workn right, ordered another from Depot and works flawlessly. Very little calabration, pretty much good to go out of the box. Shadow line is spot on, the saw does cost a pretty penny but if you like percision this saw is for you. Bought a Deablo blade cuts like butter with no splintering, the Bosh miter saw stand I purchased matches up perfectly and is heavy duty because this saw is no light weight.

                    Fantastic saw. Love the smoothness and power of direct drive, and shadow line beats a laser any day. The rail system and front adjustment controls make it perfect in a small shop
