The 18V LXT 14cm brushless cordless metal-cutting saw offers faster metal cutting through all types of wire, conduit, corrugated, duct, pipe, sheet metal, square tubing, steel, and more. With a full 5.1cm cutting capacity, it's ideal for electrical contractors, as it cuts through 5.1cm conduit in a single pass, saving a significant amount of time. It includes a clear chip collector to capture cutting debris. The brushless motor is designed for efficiency. Furthermore, in performance testing, the saw made up to 125 cuts per charge in 2.5cm Schrader 40 pipe using an 18V 5Ah battery. Makita offers optimal 14.5cm blade options for use with the DCS553Z: 32T carbide tip for metal and general use; 52T for thin metal; 52T for aluminum; and 60T for stainless steel (all sold separately). It is part of Makita's Expandable 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world's largest cordless system powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. Makita 18V batteries have the fastest charging times in their class, allowing you to spend more time working and less time on the charger. For enhanced tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is a communication technology that allows the tool and battery equipped with Star Protection to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overload, over-discharge, and overheating. For added versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
