cliu Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I have heard that Ryobi had a cordless 10" miter saw in the works and now it is official. This uses 2 batteries (no word yet on whether or not it can function with reduced power on 1 battery) and with those it can allegedly make over 800 cuts according to the web page. Although I find those number quite optimistic, if it can even do half that, I would be happy. I personally am conflicted because I do occasionally work in areas where there is no electricity but there are also a few times where I will be using a miter saw continuously for over an hour and electricity is available. Ultimately it will probably come down to a combination of price, what if any deals are offered and whether or not I can find space for it (I'll have to wait until it comes out to see how big of a footprint this has). If only they made it hybrid, then I would buy it as soon as it became available (assuming I have the space for it) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 That stat is probably with the mythical 9.0 batteries we've yet to see, Ryobi has been swinging at every pitch lately, I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryobi is calling it ONE+ONE and says its 36v. From Ryobi's site "RYOBI introduces the first tool in its ONE+ONE™ lineup: the 18-Volt 10 in. Cordless Brushless Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw. The ONE+ONE™ system uses 2 ONE+™ 18-Volt batteries for 2X the power, for a full 36-Volts of Max Power. Not only is this saw powerful, it’s extremely portable: carry it anywhere and cut what you need without the hassle of a cord or trying to find an electrical outlet. The brushless motor provides longer runtime and longer tool life, while the dual bevel design allows you to move the saw, not the material, for faster and more accurate cuts. The sliding head provides a maximum capacity of up to a 12 in. cross cut. See below for more information." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that would be really good imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm sure the price is great as with all their tools ...if it's out first I'd buy it and try it...and wait for Dewalt or Rigid to arrive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Dewalt already have one or are you referring to the Dewalt 20v non Flexvolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an XR DeWalt popping at some point soon?ish and there's high hopes of the single battery FV version making it's way from EU. I'm personally interested is seeing the cost of the Ryobi, if it's $199 or so as i suspect it could be then I'll grab one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliu Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I am hoping that they will sell some sort of package. If they could sell something like the saw, 2 batteries and a charger for something like $349.99 I would buy it right away (assuming I have the space for it at home). Better yet if they also include a miter stand as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DeWalt guy will buy a single 20v brushless saw for sure and of course a single FV battery is 54/60 volts! I am a DeWalt guy and was looking forward to the new saws........ but........ I recently started getting some(ok a lot) of Ryobi's odds and ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Doing light finishing work you can get away with a single battery miter such as the M18 Fuel miter, for better or worse, if your staying away from crown you can even get a way with the Dewalt 7 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always flip that around and say why would anyone want a double battery saw when you can get the same power and capacity with a single battery saw. That way you just have to have 2 batteries - one in the saw and one in the charger. With a dual battery saw, you need 4. Just sayin....

Lol I've been a Ryobi owner for under a month and already have 7 batteries and 4 chargers. DeWalt stuff.... Yeah I got quite a few batteries there.

Framer joe Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 @Cr8ondt....oh ya...it does get addicting that Ryobi line....I'm die hard Dewalt but they fall short in many areas....Ryobi fills them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I've been waiting for a witty, insightful, intelligent reply to come to me but none have popped up yet so, I'm gonna go with my original thoughts... What the F**K?!?!? I buy a 10" corded slider and now they release info on a cordless one?!?!? BASTARDS!!!! Ryobi needs to just stop the nonsense and send me one of these to test out. I have enough Ryobi stuff to open my own Ryobi store, they should just give up and kiss my butt already...send me one of these now or else!!! They should send me one to make up for the fact that I just bought a corded one, they could have released this when I was in the market for a miter saw. Dammit Ryobi!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliu Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 According to this review I am seriously considering getting this saw when the funds become available. Hopefully by then, it will be available as some sort of package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also be keeping any eye out for a package/promo deal, this seriously looks like it could rival or even best similar priced corded saws. I've been holding out hopes for the 60v DeWalt to hit the states but this could definitely be the one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hmmm. interesting. I have a few Ryobi things, I'll be curious to see some more reviews on it and how people actually like it. Hopefully all of the ergonomics are well thought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tools & Stuff Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I am waiting for the Makita 18v x2 10". It is a beast with some very handy and cool features. I hope it is not too far off... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yeah, the Makita should be interesting too. I guess I have not seen, but is it similar to the flexvolt where you can plug in as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the bevel knob on the front is great. Great dust collection with 2 ports, and bluetooth to connect to vac. Being only 36v the motor would not function (I assume) with higher AC voltage. The Flexvolt in NZ where I live does not come with AC power, I assume due to our power being 240v and the batteries only adding up to 108v. Makita is doing the same saw in a AC only version also.

Ryobi has several 18v hybrid tools i.e. the radio and fan so I can't be that hard to do. Theirs is even simpler than the Flexvolt, they just have a male plug built in so you can plug in the female end of an extension cord into the tool and it works just fine.

Tools & Stuff Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 A radio doesn't have a motor in it. The fans are probably 12v with a 12v transformer in the tool and don't draw the current of a mitre saw motor. They could put a transformer in a saw to get the voltage right, but more money, space constraints, sales, etc probably stop them. It will happen one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr8ondt Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Put my hands on one in store today, not too shabby but not needed enough for me to part with my $.... Maybe if it had batteries....or a stand included...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack19087 Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I just picked up a Ryobi 10" corded and the slide bars require a decent amount of force to get it sliding. Sometimes a yank. It screws up the alignment of the piece I'm cutting. Is this normal? Do other sliding mitre behave the same? Not sure if I got a bad batch or what. Considering returning it to HD. Your advice and experience greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
