These the same ones in the flex 3.0/9.0, LiHD, and Core?

sounds great but I would guess they won't be cheap.

Id say make the system like Tanos has done with the Systainer. Allow companies to sell their products in Systainers. Festool is probably the most well know company that uses them. I wouldn't mind having a modular box standard or at least compatibility with tough system.

sure id like a yearly DeWALT event like Milwaukee and now Makita but a Stanley Black and Decker event wouldnt be half bad either. Just have SB&D bring all its companies together to show off new products.

the first post of this topic sounds like it has been posted before but idk.

would be cool to convert the base of the North American version flex circ saw to a track compatible base.

Holdzall (or Carryzall?) the new rival to Tough System and Ridgid pro boxes @SetBuilder if you want a good cordless miter it would be hard to go wrong with the 790 and if you decide you don't like the cordless aspect you can always use the cord adapter.

I just watched a video on the new brushless 20v circular saw. Possibly the most powerful circular saw in an 18/20max platform? Protoolreviews says so. If I feel the need to get a circular saw in addition to my planned flexvolt track saw purchase I may consider this over the flexvolt even. I like blade right saws. As a left hander it is easier for me to use a blade right saw. I used the brushed 20v max circular saw a guy at work has and it had plenty of power especially when I plugged a flexvolt battery in it. Flexvolt would be overkill for my needs.

I found out he is the one who said his adjustable shoes on his reciprocating saw kept breaking. Many are saying a sander and cordless table saw are coming. I wouldn't be surprised if a cordless router and tracksaw show up. Someone claimed they saw a picture of an m12 surge and a new storage system. Milwaukee posted some pictures of nps setup on instagram and supposedly they were seen on the last picture.

a larger fab shop may see a need for one but the average guy won't.

@ChrisK did you have troubles finding it as well? I do like the Festool website though. It seems organized well. Each model is listed then all the kits for said model is listed underneath it. Would be nice if other sites used this system.

what if the Makita compatible battery was more expensive than a genuine Makita battery?

should be out soon. According to DeWALT's website it and the track saw are still listed as "coming soon".

I was browsing the Festool website and noticed the OF 1400 router no longer showed up on the products page. You guys think it was removed to prepare for a replacement? Searching for the router didn't even bring up any results for it. I was able to go into the OF 1010 product page and find a link at the bottom to the OF 1400 page. Thats quite a work around to find the page for it. Could be a bug in the system I guess.

well there are 2 tabs on the battery that get pushed to switch the voltage I think

they aren't far away. If anything its in the prototype stage.

I see Milwaukee's next move to be x2 style and Onekey batteries then I see them being first to come out with solid state batteries.

I don't know how big the 7491RS table saw is but it wouldn't mind seeing a saw more on the lines of the Ridgid or Delta Hybrid saws.

i posted awhile back guys at work claimed to have tested one but that was it.

This sounds like a good idea. In my town I was blessed to have shop in school. I'm not sure I would be in the construction trade or have interest in furniture without it. My town almost has a new high school completed and the shop classes have seemed to stick around. Even sounds like they got good upgrades including a cnc router for the wood shop.

My RZ mask arrived today. I thought about getting a titanium grey mask but it was out of stock so I went with a high vis green. Also got a pack of replacement filters. My DS300 is starting to fill to capacity with the recent DeWALT light and RZ mask additions. I expected the mask to be more rigid like the typical 3m rubber dust masks but to my surprise it was a soft fabric. Seems more comfortable than the disposable kind or the ones at work.

To have code from one town be the code all towns have to follow wouldn't make sense. Each town has different conditions. Different soils, temperatures, weather, etc.

From what I have heard dual battery m18 miter saw is a thing.

Makita is the only one this can apply to. With using only one battery platform you got 3 areas covered that other companies split up into 2 or 3 battery platforms. They got subcompact, 18v, and x2. The m18/m12 combo chargers almost make up for it though since you only need one charger for 2 different batteries.

I seen Metabo has a new table saw coming out. It is a 10 in unit with integrated stand. Thing is it is cordless. Can use 2 18v batteries or a 36v battery. I don't know if there is an 18vx2 unit and a 36v unit or if its one saw that accepts both batteries.
