You certainly can, there is a spot and they slide in. The spacing is bigger for when the new batteries come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7" spins as 7800 rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Does the compact recip saw require two hands to operate properly like a full size? I know I love the hackzalls for the one handed use. Like in that pic, if I had to hold onto the saw with both hands to get good leverage, bye bye Makita, I'll take the hackzall instead thank you very much. That's the work I do for a living and that pic is just turning me off .... Just keeping it real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMG Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Makita has added a "Coming Soon" item to the list; One miter saw and stand combo... https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/LS1019LX They don't have a separate listing for the WST06 stand on the site yet.

JMG Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 They have also re-added the seven inch grinder to the site along with several other items early this morning... https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/VJ05Z 12v max https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/VJ06Z 12v max https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/RH02Z 12v max Kit versions of the jigsaws come with MakPacs, and the hammer kit has a molded case. Two existing x2 tools have been added as four 5ah battery kits (blower and chain saw). These are probably part of the new promo for several items with extra batteries just posted as well on the promo page... https://www.makitatools.com/promos And last, but not least, the new ten inch cordless miter has finally made it's appearance... https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XSL06Z All of these items have been flagged with a "Coming Soon" banner. Sort of funny as the miter is already out in the wild, as it were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Well this just bites me arse... Reading the instruction manual for the new miter saw shows that the model they are giving us here in the states is NOT bluetooth capable. The wireless capable saw would be the XSL04 model, which outside of the instruction manual has no ready available information currently. They were boasting about connectivity for the saw at their show, but now that feels a bit like bait and switch to me. XSL06 photo Notice the lack of the Bluetooth switch. My general excitement for the new tool has just vanished. Meh... On the up side, I might not go completely broke this year after all.

aessu Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 And those batteries are way too small for any serious use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 And those batteries are way too small for any serious useIt’s a subcompact rotary hammer. If you buy it expecting to abuse it like a full size tool, or have it perform like one, you are gonna be disappointed. That’s not what it’s for. It supposed to be compact and lightweight....Hence the tiny tool and small batteries.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
