Makita XGT 40V 10″ Dual‑Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The Makita 40V max XGT® Brushless 10” Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (GSL03) 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°. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right and bevels from 0° to 48° left and right.

XGT is a system of equipment, tools, batteries and chargers utilizing 40V max lithium-ion batteries. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.

There are 2 feature models of the GSL03 10” Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. The choice is with or without one battery and rapid charger. Both models come with standard accessories of a saw blade, vertical vice, dust bag, and hex wrench . Options for the Makita GSL03 are:

  1. GSL03Z: Tool only, with accessories
  2. GSL03M1: Tool, (1) 40V max XGT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery, rapid charger, and accessories

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 GSL03 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.
