XSL08Z vs C12RSH3

Makita U.S.A. XSL08Z vs Metabo HPT C12RSH3. Of the 6 figures both makers publish, 2 differ: voltage and speed. 4 are worded too differently to set side by side: blade diameter, bevel capacity, miter capacity and weight. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 305 mm (12") on the XSL08Z, 12" on the C12RSH3, in their makers' figures.

Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Blade diameter: XSL08Z: 305 mm (12"). C12RSH3: 12".
  • Bevel capacity: XSL08Z: Right 48°, Left 48°. C12RSH3: Left: 0° - 45°; Right: 0° - 45°.
  • Miter capacity: XSL08Z: Right 60°, Left 60°. C12RSH3: Left: 0° - 45°; Right: 0° - 57°.
  • Weight: XSL08Z: 30.2 - 30.8 kg (66.5 - 67.8 lbs). C12RSH3: 54.9 lbs.

Where the table has one figure and a dash, only Makita U.S.A.'s cited pages give arbor and dimensions; only Metabo HPT's cited pages give motor, current, dust port, included, cord length and warranty. Those rows are open questions for the other maker, not ties between the XSL08Z and C12RSH3.
