    Hugh jass ! I have the Makita in my store. It upkeeps its speed without any problem.

    If you start pushing it in big hardwood pieces then it starts bogging down for half a second before the ' automatic speed change' tech kick in and the motor automatically shifs into a higher gear to upkeep the torque !

    It really is stronger/faster then corded compact mitre saws.

    Short answer:

     

    The one of which you have batteries

     

    Longer answer:

    Correct me if there's something wrong in here. Didnt add the milwaukee because it doesnt exist in belgium.

    No point limiting it to ' One battery ' only.  These saws are almost never gonna be bought by 'new' uers but only by those already invested in the platforms.

  6. Which 18V line to get

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    All of the top Brands produce a good impact and Hammer drill.

    Circular saw is more for Milwaukee and Makita. They produce a good brushless circ saw.

    You must also check the scope of a Brands offering on thesame battery platform.

    Milwaukee had a few very specific cordless tools for specific trades that you will not find anywhere.

    Makita has by far the largest 18v tool line up.

    Makita 18V also extends into garden tools and 36v tools ( by combining 2 18v batteries )

    All true but then again Milwaukee could go 2xbattery on a miter and even allow 2x9Ah giving 6 rows of cells. There is nothing stopping them from doing it but might be bulky, then again a miter is probably the most sensical of tools to double up on batteries because of its static nature...

     

    If milwaukee made a dual 9.0amp setup for stationairy tools that would give us ALOT of options !

     

    I'm sure Makita has a patent on their 2x18 set up.

    I don't think so really. Black and decker had dual batery tools YEARS ago. Festool has the dual battery saw on the guide rail. Don't think a simple concept like ' add a second battery' should be able to be patented anyway in my opinion.

  11. DCF 887 and Ridgid Stealth Force in action

    Well I think the Makita from what I understand is much less powerful and torquey but these things are pretty much specialty items right now for when you want quiet drivers more than all out performance. That being said these are new product types competing aginst impact drivers that have had a decade plus of development, give them some time. If the market is there for these things they should get better and better.

    The Makita actually is quite strong :) in the specifications it only had 40 newtons of torque. But in real life it does pretty much everything a normal impact does :) i can not explain why this measily 40 newtons in the specs produce the power of the oil impulse driver. Pretty strange :)

  13. toughest cordless tools ?

    The Bosch brute model has the Dura Cell casing.  It's halfway between flexible and ridgid. You'll not feel it bend in anyway but it is very good at absorbing impacts. I would argue this is most likely the strongest case in a drill around. Unfortunatly in power, runtime, ergonomics, rpm's , etc.. the Bosch is falling behind next to other brands.

     

    That being said.....

     

    Every drill will break at the first drop if it hits the ground at just the bad angle.  And every drill can survive numerous times dropping off a roof if it doesnt hit the ground at a bad angle.

     

    I've been selling powertools for 7 years now. And i know that some circular saws / drill drivers / impact drivers of my customers have survived ALOT of drops from a roof without any problems.  And sometimes there's the unlucky guy who drops his drill driver for the first time. It lands smack on the chuck and the casing breaks.

     

    In all honesty all brands will suit you. I do not think there is a 'better' brand in that regard because it al depends on how and where it falls unfortunatly.

     

    As said before: Ryobi is a cheaper but competitve option. Students will brake anything. They dont care of it's a  € 150 Ryobi or a  € 500 Hilti drill. It will get abused and dropped anyway.

     

    Hilti is the only brand to warranty Wear and Tear on a drill. Not sure of this included breaking the casing ( because that is 99 out of 100 a user mistake and not a manufacture problem ) but you could check with hilti if they will warranty this.

    Kornomaniac, great chart. I saw on a vlog (who will go nameless) that he got 247 2/4 cuts on a 6.2 battery also. That comes out to close to 40 cuts per amp hour. Also just double checking! Are you saying, The Makita comes with 2-5.0 batteries and a dual fast charger as a kit? I just see bare a tool out there. Thanks for that post. More information, the better informed.

     

    Ah ! No that is what the reviewers on AConcordCarpenter and He-who-shall-not-be-named  used in their test. So thats what i based my chart on :) 

    In belgium it's gonna come out as a kit with 5.0 amps and a dual charger tho :D

  16. Dewalt 20v 10 Inch miter saw

    in Dewalt

    I think the High Capacity 9.0ah battery from Milwaukee is what will make a 10 inch sliding miter a possibility.

    Total amp Capacity isn't really what we need.  We need a battery that can provide a higher total current without overheating or building up internal resistance because of too high current draw.

     

    Milwaukee's 9.0 Amp battery has 3 rows of cells to provide current so it's a good step up from our normal 4 / 5 / 6 amp packs ( which can only provide current from 2 rows of cells ).

     

    Makita's dual 18V system ramps it up easily by providing 4 Rows of cells to draw current from.

    If anyone is interested, I did some quick math between this saw and the Dewalt dcs361. When Concord Carpenter did the Dewalt review he was able to get 173 cuts out of one 4ah battery, which equals to 43.2 cuts per amp hour.  This Makita saw gets 42.2 cuts per amp hour (x10) because you burn 2 batteries down at the same time. So everything being equal they are virtually even, with the slight edge being given to the Dewalt, being able to cut 432 cuts on two 5ah batteries.

     

    The Makita has a better cross cut capacity and slightly better dust collection, but the Dewalt seems to have better detent operation and the XPS lighting system. So in short I'm still confused on which saw is better. Its nice that there are 2 good cordless saws to picks from now. Soon we will see how Milwaukee responds and I heard that summertime will be the release of Dewalts 10" cordless miter saw.

     

    Runtime isnt the only argument tho.    The Makita vastly outpowers and out -RPM's the Dewalt.  It's a sizeable difference in cross cut capacity. As the reviews have schown the dual rail system is rock on accurate. A brushless motor will also last longer and is maintenance free.

     

    The dewalt seems to be made more as a 'cordless tool' .    Somewhat slower and less powerfull as a corded tool. 

     

    While the Makita is more of a ' Corded power without the cord'.    Thats what the 36V and brushless motor does.

     

     

     

     

    Basically.... stick with the platform you already have.  Like that is always true really :)

    I think in toolboxbuzz mitre saw comparison from a few months ago they also mentioned that Makita packs their saws with a very decent blade standard.

    Not that strange since Makita circular blades come from thesame italian Factory thats owned by Bosch ( and thus diablo.... )
