## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential tool for any tool kit.
*by A***R on August 6, 2025*

This Makita circular saw has met all expectations and needs. Really appreciate the overall quality, accuracy, blade changing, ease/indication on setting depth of cut, and weight/balance. Ended up purchasing my adult children the same circular saw for their uses and needs as an essential tool in their tool kits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Far superior to other Makita models... Superb, well thought out design touches.
*by T***A on December 5, 2016*

I've used 4 different Makita 6.5" circular saw models on the job site and can confidently say that this unit (XSH03Z) is far and wide better than the rest.Biggest pluses are:1) Brushless motor - runs cooler, longer battery life, and translates in to more power.2) LED illumination - just enough additional light to ensure the cut is on point.3) 5,000 RPM with automatic torque converter - This extra speed makes a surprising amount of difference compared to the 3,000-4,000 RPM models. The blades cut far smoother and there is far less tear out from your material. It makes a battery powered saw cut and feel like a high power corded saw. The automatic torque adjuster kicks in should your material be extra tough...it drops the RPM's down but kicks up the torque to prevent bogging down / binding. Very nice touch!4) 45 degree lock on the bevel - there is a nice flip down tab that allows quick adjustment to a rock solid 45 degree bevel cut... As opposed to eyeballing where the 45-degree mark actually is. Nice time saver that ensures consistency.5) Brake - the automatically engaging blade brake that kicks in after the trigger is released is a wonderful plus. Once you have that feature, you'll never go back.As for negatives, for the price & class of the saw, there really are next to none. However, here are the couple that stick out:1) for a saw that costs in the 175-200 range, it is a bit ridiculous they don't include the $13 Makita 164095-8 Rip Fence with it. It's not a critical accessory by any means, but it's sometimes nice to have and worth the ten bucks or so.2) I wish this model had the blower that puffed air by the front area of the blade to improve visibility (like the finish saw model). Not a big issue, but would be nice.In summary, this is a first rate saw in its class. Other than this item, the next real step-up is the Festool track saw (which I own & love like no other)... however, this saw & vacuum combo runs in the $1,500 range and is like comparing apples to oranges.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best 18 volt circular saw yet!
*by S***E on June 17, 2024*

Great little saw, the higher rpm makes a big difference compared to the old models. Easy to read labels and the cast metal parts are a nice feature. No complaints, it performs better than expected. The included blade is doing fine, its just a 24T rough framing blade but its holding up well so far. No worse than any other mid level thin 24T framing blade. Nice cuts, good battery life cutting 2 x material.
