    So a backpack that can power either XGT or LXT X2 tools. Looks like a great option for OPE applications.

     

    And yowzers that is a pretty huge capacity.

     

    Here is nice example of OPE application of this backpack, lawn mower MLM001CZ. This mower isn't using battery packs at all, but backpack clamped on top.

  2. With these bigger grinders is XGT line becoming interesting for me. What surprises me little is that 230mm grinders have one battery only. I was expecting two battery setup. In manual there is a new BL4050F battery recommended for it. Has anyone info on this battery? Bigger 5Ah capacity is obvious, but maybe bigger cells for higher power output? What does "F" stand for?

     

    150mm 6" - GA033G/GA034G/GA035G/GA036G

    180mm 7" - GA037G (with AWS)

    230mm 9" - GA038G (probably with AWS)

  3. I understand you, have same thinking. I have die grinder, plate joiner and nibbler with old brushed body. I would not buy this new cut out tool, but definitely I will buy die grinder a and plate joiner with new BL technology. Perhaps Makita will not let us waiting too long (as with OMT tool 😃).

  4. I really like cordless Makita tools, I have 25 or 30 of them, but Makita is annoying me with two things:

     

    1) reluctance to make bigger 18V batteries

    2) inability to introduce new BL OMT

     

    I believe both two problems will be solved in near future. 😃 And OMT will be, based on the long working on it, by far the best OMT on the world 😁 

  5. Yesterday I unpacked my Christmas gift 😀 and here it is, Makita DLS211 (XSL08 in USA):

     

    ?width=1920&height=922&mid=7132&aid=4&uid=66084605&default=%2Fstatic%2Fwm%2Fimg%2Fdefault-image.svg

     

    Saw was *nearly* precisely adjusted from factory, but it could be better, so I spent two hours with adjusting. First I realized that rails are slightly misaligned. After three trial and error atempts and 10 mins it was OK. Next was bevel angle, 0.2° off, moment to fix. Mitre was nearly perfect, but 5cut methods showed some error. I spend long 90 mins finding exact square angle, until 5cut method showed zero error. Now I think saw is very accurate.

     

    What i like: accuracy (now after tweaking), power, runtime, smoothness of every movement.  Bundled 60teeth Efficut Makita blade is very nice, I'm impressed. Non-sliding fences are OK for me. Laser is what I don't like too much. And yes, she is heavy! 😃 I have to buy wheeled saw stand...

     

    Overall I'm very satisfied.

  6. Nice, but where are these LXT/X2 tools:

    - BL OMT

    - BL orbital sander

    - table saw

    - air compressor

    - heat gun

    - and especially new 2020 model impact driver 😁

     

    What I like and will probably buy:

    - 1.6gallon backpack vacuum

    - BL planer

    - top handle X2 chain saw

    - blower/vacuum/mulcher combo
