Makita XCC01Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 5" Wet/Dry Masonry Saw, AWS® Capable, Tool Only

Fabulous for detail, shaped, plunge or large format tile cut outs. Accurate, clean lines on porcelain tile with a festool track saw & adjusted adapter. Wouldn't use all day, but great 2nd saw on the job. I use it with a smoother cutting blade. Battery life is pretty good on tile. The water resevoir tank leaks from the top due to air gap so it functions, going to try a wet sponge on the blade instead for quick smaller cuts. Haven't used the hose function yet, don't plan on lots of long cuts, but seems functional with care of plastic fittings.

Great saw. I use it for trimming engineered marble shower stall kits and it works great. Nice as it integrates with all of my other Makita 18 V cordless tools.

Cuts well and easy to control because it’s no bigger than it needs to be. I made a custom speed square out of wood. Imagine a standard speed square with an extra raised lip to use as a saw guide and you’ll know what I did.I also have a wooden guide jig that hugs both edges of a Hardee plank. I just push it along as needed. The guide is always perpendicular to the edge of the plank. I think this is more efficient and adaptable than a stationary work station.I use the saw dry to cut cement planks for siding and wet for ceramic tile. Water bottle gasket could be better as there is some leakage. Otherwise, I’m glad I chose this particular multi-tasker. I’m very pleased with the quality of this saw.

This saw worked perfectly to cut 2 vessel sinks into a quartz counter top. The coolant bottle works very well and I’m impressed as to how leak free it is if you take one of the other reviewers recommendation and wrap the fitting threads with plumbers/pipe tape. It didn’t leak a drop. Also, just about everything I could find said that the included blade is not good for cutting quartz and engineered stone but it cut quartz perfectly with absolutely no chipping. I did make 2 passes though, maybe that helped. Either way, 5 stars!!

We made 4 cuts in single passes of this 1.5” granite countertop. Saw never hesitated and performed flawless right of the box. The only minor issue was that the water bottle did not seal tightly. Added Teflon tape to the threads and had no issues after that. Solid tool, very impressed, I was definitely reserved going into this project too.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love it

This saw is weak and struggled to cut quartz , keep in mind this saw would consume a full 6ah battery 🔋 on a 26 inches cut , also the water system is a joke , all the connections leak and make a mess. I own many makita tools and this one is just not a comparable quality makita toll.

I didn't get any battery or charger for this tool so I don't know how it works and now I'm going to have to pay for another shipment to get battery and delay my job because I ordered a battery powered too but no battery was sent with it how am I going to use it?
