marketing is fun isnt it
makes you wonder when a company needs to make actual webpages to try and slam innovation.
Yeah I wonder if was made months ago to slam them today or if someone made it this morning. If we knew about the tools I assume they knew also. The tool industry probably has James bond spies selling information. At least they didn't try to slam them before the tools came out.

The competition will be good for every consumer. Dewalts 9ah will be out in January and then it will be a better comparison. Im partial to Dewalt because I like their miter saws and table saws so much.

I know it sucks for the 40v user but it makes sense. Now they can make one battery that will crossover to all the different tools from 20-120v. I am blown away by the miter saw. I needed to buy a bigger miter saw to compliment my smaller one and this makes it a no brainer for me. I will use it with the plug in adapter most of the time but will also have the ability to go cordless. Also did you guys see that the 9ah will be coming out in January?

With a 12" blade and weighing 56 lbs it's a no go for me. I want small and portable. Something they big will be at a cut station, not being taken around the house for punch lists. But if you're on a job with no power I can see this being awesome. I'm just looking for more of a punch list saw.

Might not be getting Milwaukee's Fuel Miter saw then. What size blade is the Dewalt saw 10 or 12 inch? I have to saw Dewalt has its A game on right now with this new product launch. Milwaukee is going to have to step up a little. For awhile during the 20v launch Dewalt was slow to push out new products that's what drove me to Milwaukee. That has defiantly changed the past few years. The one tool that took way to long was the 20v finish nailer why did that take 6 years?
according to the post its going to be 12" blade. I wouldn't be surprised is a 10" comes out alongside it at some point. Dewalt has always been good at having good reliable tools but not as much innovation. Sounds like tomorrow is going to change all of that. Its good for everyone because all the companies will be scrambling to one up them and everyone wins. I can't wait to see how the 4-20v battery generator will be. That sounds like it will be a cool tool and crossover camping setup.

So when will the official release of information start tomorrow and I assume it will be east coast time zone? Even though the cat got let out of the bag on some of the items, I am sure there will be more than was posted. I can't wait to see the tools being used.

So Dewalt actually thought they could show random people and companies all over the world new tools and didn't expect anything to get leaked? They must have a new advertising department. This happens to car companies all the time and they have more money to lose. If they are telling companies and people to pull there information then they are handling it poorly. It's only 2 days before the announcement and this is better discussion and PR than there secretive approach. I know that I'm supper amped to buy some new tools as many of you are now. Also was Dewalt unaware that YouTube is INTERNATIONAL and that earlier releases in other countries would be seen?

Just tell her that for every tool you buy, she can buy a pair of shoes or a new bag.
Ha Thats my tactic. Whenever the wife thinks about buying something I encourage her to get it so that when she sees my tool boxes in the garage she doesn't bat an eye.

If you can't use the current 20V batteries with the new tools i'm gonna be pissed! If you can use the new batteries with the old tools, then why not be able to use the old batteries with the new tools!!!! Maybe because the new battery is more expensive ($200 each)
The new tools require the 60v for the power. At least they are backwards compatible though. It looks like the 2 pack of the new batteries will sell for $200 which isn't too bad considering what they can do.

I'm just glad we can finally talk about stuff, I can't wait to see the cordless 10 or 12" miter saw in action, if it is to be released at the same time.
-
If it has 1 battery turning a generator, then that energy coming out of the spinning generator goes into other batteries, how much energy could the first battery produce? If that makes sense.
-
So I found this interesting and something that I had not heard of before. This is NOT leaked information. This is merely a link to Amazon.com for a item they will be selling soon. Enjoy

Hey TIA bros I didn't mean to cause any potential problems between Dewalt and TIA. I will officially retire my online investigation skills and will just sit back and wait for the big release in 6 days. I have a feeling Dewalt is about to take the lead among all tool companies and they will be scrambling to catch up. I have already started saving.

I posted months ago about a bigger battery that can switch between 18v and 54v (20v and 60v in Dewalt terms) based on the tool it is put into. Meaning it can run all the current 20v tools like its a 9ah battery, then it can go into a more power hungry tool and be a 60v with 3ah. These can also be placed in pairs in really hungry tools like large miter saws and table saws for 120v. This is how it was explained to me months ago by some Dewalt reps who were too excited to keep a secret. I posted on here and few guys straight up said there was no way that could be true. I am patiently waiting to be vindicated on the 21st.

I don't think its available in the USA at the moment. I know Atlas will ship to you if you need it now.

Only problem is the saw blade is 190mm (7 1/2") and the only Diablo's I can get are 185mm (7 1/4"). I would need to make an add-on for the rear fence so the blade cuts all the way through (I think?).
There is a screw that stops the depth of the blade. All you have to do is adjust that screw to lower the blade a little more so that 7 1/4" blades will work. If you put a 7 1/2" blade back on later you have to remember to adjust that screw again so you don't damage the saw.

James10million,
seeing how you have reviewed both the Makita and the Metabo cordless miter saw which one do you prefer?
-
I actually bought both to try them out and ultimately kept the Makita and sold the Dewalt.
They both work very well so you can't go wrong with either. I like the base of the Dewalt better and I really liked the xps light, although it isn't as bright as the one you would find on the corded models. It cut 2x4's well but struggled a bit with hardwoods, but still cut through if you let the blade do the work.
The Makita has a bigger crosscut capacity and the 5800 rpm really makes a difference in cutting power and speed in soft and hardwood. When using them side by side it is apparent that the makita is much more powerful, as it should be with 36v. The Makita dust collection with the bag attached is also much better. I think the faster rpm causes a suction that funnels the dust into the bag better. What I don't like about the Makita is that there is no laser or led and it has a slightly smaller depth of cut compared to the dewalt.
I do like that dewalt only uses 1 battery but the 2 battery system gives the Makita a ton of power. The differences aren't enough to make you switch tool companies but if you have both I would recommend the makita for the points above. The Dewalt is a great companion to a corded saw and the Makita is a corded replacement in my opinion.

Rich you are correct that they are not needed but I still like them. Obviously you can use cheaper joining methods but those tend to be permanent and requiring scraping the whole bench if you want to change the size. With these you leave them attached to the 4x4"s and merely change the 2x4's and in 15 minutes you have a bigger or smaller bench. I kind of like the way they look also.
makes you wonder when a company needs to make actual webpages to try and slam innovation.

For the people that are complaining about the size of the battery here is a size comparison of the current dewalt 20v 5ah and the newest Metabo 18v 6.2ah. Metabo is the current leader in 18v battery tech and had to go bigger because of the cells being used. The extra size is not that big of a deal. That being said I am stoked at what Dewalt has done because you can only squeak so much power out of a 18v. Metabos are at the top and they are not a corded replacement yet. The higher voltage batteries are the future if you want corded power and the ability to still use them in 20v tools is awesome. Some tools will be unnecessary in 60v form so thats why they won't abandon the 20v line. Their idea is that you will have the power on big tools and the longevity on smaller tools. Is there a need for a 60v caulking gun? exactly!!
I know everyone wants corded power in a battery the size of a watch battery, that will work in all tools. Unless a spacecraft crashes and gives up unforeseen alien technology, this is the current progression that needs to happen.
