XSL08Z vs 6955-20
Makita U.S.A. XSL08Z vs Milwaukee Tool 6955-20. Of the 4 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 4 are worded too differently to set side by side: voltage, blade diameter, arbor and weight. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 305 mm (12") on the XSL08Z, 12" on the 6955-20, in their makers' figures.
