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

While doing my travertine path I had to cut extra pieces by hand. Makita did not disappoint!!!

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.

I purchased this saw to cut some granite remnants. I used the water bottle and also ran a hose on top of the stone, so I can't comment on the complaint about leakage. My granite was 3/4 inch thick, and I found the saw bogging down, even at a slow feed rate. So I think the saw is a bit under powered. I was able to cut through the granite by making multiple cuts at increasing depths. I watched YouTube videos where users appear to more easily cut through stone in a single pass. Perhaps they used a better blade, or the stone was not as hard as my granite. I purchased the track adapter and used the saw on a Festool track. This was a big advantage for getting a relatively smooth cut. I would not want to use this saw freehand, since the saw marks would be a pain to buff out. I think the saw is of good quality and I would buy it again. However, there is no mistaking this for a professional grade saw.

Haven't used yet but I'm sure it will work great!

I purchased this to cut some granite countertops. This is extremely easy to use and I found it to make clean and true cuts in my granite countertop that I needed to widen the opening for my new stove. The water option (hose or small container that has quick connects) keep the dust down. You can use it to dry cut, but you need to buy an adapter if you want to vacuum or have a dust bag attached.This was perfect for what I needed, but I could see this being a key tool in much larger tile cutting, stone countertop cutting jobs.

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?

This is an excellent little stone saw, buy the track base and some tracks and clamps and you have a solid stone saw for all sots of fabrication.
