pancing Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 eh its not too bad considering their minimum wage is around 24$ or so and the currency rate that turns to about 700 usd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh942 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Includes 2 of the 6.0ah batteries and a charger! I forgot to add! They are also running a deal for 4 of the brushless tools (impact driver, combo drill, circ saw + grinder) which includes the redemption of 3 x 6.0ah batteries on top of the 2 included! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh942 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 The new AEG DUAL 18V Brushless 254mm (10") Slide Compound Mitre Saw cuts the cord to meet the demands of today's tradies. It is built with an 18V Brushless DC motor providing AC cutting performance without compromising on blade size or run time. With up to 600 cuts 90mm x 45mm pine on 2 x 6.0Ah batteries even the most active trade user won't run out of charge! This product sets the pace with features such as dual bevel, full size 254mm blade, laser guide and LED sight light just to name a few. Dual 18V system means the saw runs on either 1 x 18V battery or 2 x 18V in parallel for extended runtime and extra power Full size 254mm blade produces 91mm x 305mm depth and cross cut capacity 18V Brushless motor provides 3900rpm AC cutting performance Dual Bevel design – move the saw not the workpiece Mitre detent for all common angles with bypass option and lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 That's cool about the ability to run off one or two batteries. Yeah the price difference is put into perspective with the wages and currency exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiltiWpg Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 if it did I would think it would be Ridgid no?If you look at the AEG website, there are quite a few models that are shared with both Milwaukee and Ridgid. Hopefully it's Ridgid, Milwaukee keeps jacking up prices.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 @HiltiWpg guys at work specifically said they tested a milwaukee dual battery miter saw so i'm guessing it will be a milwaukee saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were the guys that tested it out?, It might be worth taking back my single battery miter for a dual one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me guys at work are going to a big builders breakfast next week. They should be able to get info about a lot of new tools there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a fair few tools in HD that cost more then in Australia. Milwaukee 9ah $169-$199 USD, Australia $185AUD Makita blower i think was $69USD in HD, its $71aud here. Same for the stick vacs, cost more in HD. There was a few other things but can't think of them at the moment. I picked up an oil impulse drive from tool nut and it ended up cost $280aud. They costs $570aud in the tool shops here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
