Makita DLS211ZU 36 V LXT 305 mm Slide Mitre Saw Body Only

The Makita DLS211ZU 36 V LXT Slide Compound Mitre Saw delivers the power of corded performance in a cordless design. Running on two 18V LXT batteries, it offers a 36V output for professional-grade cutting capacity and precision across timber, MDF, and composites.

Built around Makita’s brushless motor technology, the DLS211ZU provides smooth, consistent cutting speeds with reduced noise and vibration. Its dual-rail slide mechanism maximises accuracy and stability, while the 305 mm blade allows a wide cutting capacity for framing, moulding, and general carpentry.

Features & Benefits

• Brushless motor – high efficiency and longer runtime with reduced maintenance.
• Dual 18 V LXT system (36 V total) – delivers strong cutting power without a cord.
