Makita is the leader in brushless motor technology and the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 5-3/8 in. Metal Cutting Saw (model XSC03Z, tool only) delivers faster metal cutting through Unistrut, all thread, channel, conduit, pipe, sheet metal, square tubing, steel and more. with a maximum 2 in. cutting capacity, it is ideal for electrical contractors since it will cut 2 in. conduit in 1 passa 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 XSC03Z features a transparent chip collector box which captures debris produced while cutting and provides needed visibility in determining need for disposal. Additional features include a trigger switch with2 stage lock-off requiring2 actions to power the saw and an electric brake allowing the tool to be repositioned for maximum productivity. Makita offers 4 optimum 5-3/8 in. blade options for use with the XSC03Z: 30T carbide tipped for metal and general purpose, 50T for thin metal, 50T for aluminum and 56T for stainless steel (all sold separately). Its part of Makitas expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries.
