The bars stay still and the head moves over the bar. So it won't stick out in the back Corded 10 and 12 inch versions of these mitre saws also coming btw From information I got it was a 305mm bl x2 mitre ? Photos are already floating around of the 7 and 9 bl x2 grinders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makita strikes back! :-) Ive been wondering if Makita is going to introduce new high-draw cells for their packs just like Metabo did with their LiHDs or Bosch with Eneracer. Kornomaniac, you must be the only person who can cast some light on this do you have any clue? A compact 3ah with 20700 is in development. Something similar with a 9ah too, possibility vertical mounted cells to keep pack the same length across as current packs or they ain't fitting x2 tools 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Thanks Makita_2233 for great info! Hopefully these new battery packs will be compatible with recent line of X2 tools which were not designed to accept wider than existing packs. Vertically oriented cells sound like a clever way to get around this problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I wished they introduced the X2 brushless chainsaw when I bought my brushes version but I have to admit, I won't buy another cordless chainsaw anytime soon. My Makita was getting some heavy use yesterday and I felled maybe 12-15 saplings to small trees yesterday with NOOOOO problems. I live that chainsaw and taking it into the woods on the back of my ATV is a piece of cake. No fuel, no noise and plenty of power for the smaller trees. I specifically remember posting a video a few years ago taking down a burning bush that was about 9" in diameter of super wet, super dense, fibrous wood with no issues. I might consider getting a gas powered one next, I have about an acre of dense hardwoods that I have to partially clear starting the summer. Can't wait to see what they release next! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah the brushed chainsaw is quite impressive really. Not the fastest but it has shitloads of torque 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
