Unfortunatly it's not a 10inch :(

I'm not too bummed about that actually. The beauty of a cordless saw is portability and ease of setup. A 7 1/4 or 8" saw will do 95% of what most people need and it is just that much lighter to carry around all the time.

I think I just got a bit more excited about it actually!

Product information is up.

 

I think runtime and the better then corded speed in a compact light weight package are going to be it's strong points.  Ideal as a second saw next to you 10 or 12 inch compound mitre which is overkill for alot of jobs.

Very excited! This thing looks bad to the bone!! Can it de-throne my kapex though?!?! That's gonna be a tough one. Maybe get it for a second saw ;)

 

I picked up the DeWalt 18V miter saw the other day and it is so handy. I sat it on the floor next to me and ran base and shoe and never had to get up. knocked that room out in no time. it had plenty of power and it made nice clean cuts.

A bit dissapointing they couldn't get it to cut a 2-inch (48mm) thick board at 45 degree cut.

Which in fact, makitas own 36V circular saw can with the same 190mm blade.

(the US version is the exception, which uses the smaller 7-1/4, I don't know why they did that?)

 

But yeah, the weight looks pretty low, especially considering it has two heavy batteries.

Something messed up with the post. For some reason it links back to an old 2013 post. I've asked jasonC moderator to remove it again ( the same thing happened this morning )

Very strange forum f*ckup :D

All the post did was showing some info from makita australia . the 6 amp battery was announced :)

I'm still waiting on the fuel gauge 5ah and now they announce a 6ah. Seems my wait will be longer
