They are for different purposes really. Do u need to cut firewood or down a smaller tree now and then ? Then get the X2. Just for trimming ? ( Is that the correct word ? ) Then the 18v brushless ( which is amazeballs )
Both are great tools on their own
-
They only need 5 mm more really I think ? 21700 cells are only 5 mm wider then the current 18650.
Bosch's procore are a fine example. Only 5 mm bigger then the ' older' batteries
I've just measured the duc254. Single battery brushless chainsaw. There is a 3 mm gap next to the battery between it and the housing. If 5 mm more is all Makita needs ( 2.5 mm to each side ) then a 21700 celled battery would fit the chainsaw

That info has been on the official Bosch press release website for a few months tho 😃

Like what, 2 mm wider?
Why do all the newer X2 tools have like 2 cm gap between the packs then? Except the latest circular saw, where the spacing between the packs seem to be back to a couple of milimeters. I'm just intrigued what this inconsistency could possibly mean.🤔
It's indeed 5 mm extra. What you would need for 21700 cells.
On the latest circular saw I find it strange indeed
well have to wait and see

They don't knock 2/3rds the price off just because they're bringing a model with AWS 😂. Example, the DSP60X is a hot seller so right now there's no more than £40 difference between the 600 and 601 plunge saw with AWS. The DGA900 isn't selling, a look on the history of most eBay listings show it's sold more units in the past month than it did in the 12 months before hand because the market wasn't interested in it at the price it was offered. The 900 will still be available for sale because some people will never need AWS so won't want to pay the premium for it; not to mention the backlog of stock Makita will already hold that can't be repurposed.
As for extra room on the X2, post above hit the nail on the head. All newer X2 tools are set up for a wider battery where as that X2 chainsaw could only accommodate a deeper battery. So no, I really don't think it does have any extra room. Nor does the 302.
Agreed on the grinder.
And obviously noone was talking about that age old top handle X2. We're talking about the brushless X2 chainsaw

Even if it is a old design, its what available from Makita in that category.
True. But that doesn't prove that bigger batteries are needed. An updated rotary is needed

edit: Especially when using the DUC353 chainsaw at the same time as DHR264, as Im also usually using atleast a third tool.
Dhr264 is just a waaaay too old inefficient 2 pole motor from 9 years old or so

With the tools that are overheating batteries then I can see the requirement. However with much of the X2 OPE gear there's no space for expansion or larger batteries anyway, chainsaws included.
The 36v 9" would benefit but at the same time I see it as a bit of a gimmick for anything other than short bursts of work. The price has fallen by 2/3s in the UK since this time last year so I think the market feels the same way.
Makita don't have a rotary hammer which needs any more than they currently offer. We'll see what the DHR282 is like but it's not a requirement and more of a desire.
Just do what I do, take more than one battery to work with you and you'll be fine.
The X2 chainsaw does have room for larger batteries
and there is a newer version of the grinders coming . That's why the old one is so cheap

Rotary hammers could also use a bigger capacity packs.
Everything could. Don't find it a necessity for rotary hammers. The runtime on rotaries is ok imo

Being realistic, what woild a SS or HD battery give you that you don't already have?
Not much is the answer.
Not much but the large grinders and chainsaws are the tools at the moment that overheat Makita batteries. They could use bigger battery packs for runtime prefably with 21700 cells so they won't overheat so quickly.
On other tools I wouldn't see the need for bigger heavier packs. A convenience perhaps in some situations but not needed

Yup she is
fine addition for the Bosch guys

Ow yeah. As a grinder you can't hold it. Didn't even think of that

You would like the ct 36 or 48. they have MORE POWA!!! tm and the bluetooth kit would make work faster.
Spec wise the midi and CT 36/48 have exactly thesame specs/power/motor ?

If the blade isn't parralel anymore then it will struggle yes.
Your should check the black metal bar at the back where you set the depth with. With the depth marking on . If you drop that saw that metal bar is the first thing that will bend. And then your saw isn't parralel to your base anymore

There is the flexvolt cut off saw tho. Basically a different shaped 9 inch grinder

But, I digress. I am sure you would be pretty happy with Makita if they fixed their issue at the factory before shipping it out. Closest thing to a Kapex. Really well thought out machine.
They have tho. In Belgium we got the ls1019 ( that had the problems at initial launch ) half a year after it got available in America.
Not a single problem from any of my customers since then. The cordless version followed real close here. No problems neither. Since yesterday we finally have the 12 inch version LS1219.
Sold 2 but since only a day old that's too soon to have an idea. The display model I put out is accurate tho

No doubt it’s venerable. But having Up front dial bevel ability with a spring to keep the bevel in place to exact tolerances is nice to have. Added to the fact that the Kapex has a smaller footprint, weighs a lot less, has dual exact line adjustable lasers and has far superior dust collection, the ability to make lapjoints without any extra work, I guess it’s hard for me to criticize such an old saw. But... you are right, it does not have a deten override. And another reason why the Makita is better than the Kapex...only 50* left and 60* right miters. And....the Makita costs a LOT less than the Kapex.
On a positive note for the Kapex, unlike a lot of those beautifully made Makita's, my miter saw worked like a watch from Switzerland right out of the box. But so do those new Makita’s. You know after you have to adjust it right out of the box using a 2x4 and some tension after you get it adjusted.
Now....without derailing the OP’s post any further, I figured at the time, it was the closest to getting most of the benefits of the Kapex for a small price 👍 but alas...I still bought a Milwaukee. I figured it was the lightest of the bunch.
Makita 60 lbs
Kapex 47 lbs
Just a normal discussion with arguments and no bullshit isnt possible on this forum anymore right ?

Dust collection is unparalleled, twist adjustments, cut capacity, clamps, bevel adjustments, trenching blah blah blah.
So which of these kapex features do you think is still unique ? Not sure what you mean with the twist adjustments.
It is also lacking in motor power, lacking in cut capacity, only 60 ° to 1 side ( meaning you'll have to be carrying around your wood to the other side of the saw for those ( atleast in Belgium) common 30° cuts used in roofs ). No detent override, rather smaller table and thus lesser workpiece support.
Even Festool reps aknowledge that a few of the newer features in the smaller saw should be updated to the 120

Only a 6 inch tho. That's a big difference from what he needs

If you want to spend time on an expensive saw , recalibrating it...hoping it will work out,cool... professional trim guys ,YT and forums have talked about major issues with this type of saw...bent rails,not cutting 90 even after it's adjusted....... Hitachi and Dewalt make great mitres , Festool being the best...look around,...see for yourself
Don't overblow it. First batches a year ago had a chance to need some recalibrationg. Those same professional Al trim guys you mentioned have been using them for a year now to grezt success. Rob robbilards crew, kruger from instagram.
The first batches of flexvolt batteries also had many that died remember ?
The cordless version dls110/dls110 that has come later was perfect and so is the 1219.
Out of the box you have Hitachi/deWalt precision. Want a kapex ? Take a square and half hour of your time.
And you'll have a better mitre saw then a kapex which is a rather old mitre saw by no lacking functions

No issues that can't be solved with half hour of your time to tune it up. Except for the kapex you should really do that with every mitre saw

Got this on in on Monday. Fuck that has a lot of torque .
