Unfortunately, no. A small Flexvolt mitre saw with a rail forward design, shadow line and dual-bevel would be killer! It's my dream wish.
-
The source from my first post did indicate that there is a new Flexvolt mitre saw in the works. That was around the time when the wall chaser for Flexvolt grinder and the atomic tools were being teased.

From the ToughVan man himself on IG. It is time to rejoice.

A strong competition is good for us, consumers. I hope Milwaukee gain a lot of users so Dewalt will get off their lazy butt and innovate.

Looks neat but I guess it is not T-Stak compatible.

I played around with the 305mm 36v mitre saw that was fitted with a thin Efficut blade at Makita's Roadshow. Pink SG8 290mm x 45mm was the cutting sample. It handled a combined mitre & bevel cut smoothly without bogging down. No deflection and straight cut. I was really impressed. However, you have to remember it was a nice dry timber. Weight wise, both models are heavy as. The new 305mm model comes with sturdier support bars.
-
As ToolBane suggested, use another saw blade. I don't know where you shop but you have a lot of options at Mitre10, Bunnings or Placemakers for both 260 & 305mm "full" kerf blades.

A short youtube video of it.

For those that cannot find the photo.

Short promo of it on an Aussie retailer. It also comes with an 305mm (12") Efficut blade in AUS/NZ.

I plan to upgrade my Makita impact drill to DTD171 as well. Most trade-end Makita impact drivers are durable and reliable. It survives rain, dust and drops. I dropped mine off a 4m high scaffold straight onto concrete more than once but it still works to this very day. It simply won't die. However, I cannot guarantee how well these new generation of Makita drivers fair on drop tests due to increased on-board electronics and switches. I can guarantee the transparent plastic nose ring and its glow-in-the-dark rubber are the first things to go on a rough job-site environment; only affects the look.

Good find. See how it will fair against Makita's x2 blower.

A lot of new Makita stuff are suppose to come out next month according to a Makita rep in NZ. I have been saving some money for a Martinez hammer or a DTD171. Wait and see.

Common' Dewalt. Make another Toughsystem radio unit. I recently bought a Makita site radio because I prefer a dial over push buttons.

My Flexvolt circular saw (DCS575) came with a dust hood. I live in NZ.

You have to update this topic when you get your hands on the Flexvolt plunge saw. It will help me decide my pick in the future. Cheers!
