@scottbionicnerf8727 4 ай бұрын
Something I noticed right away, when you broke both those saws out, and put them side-by-side was how much of a 'foot-print-reduction' has been accomplished with the 40v platform. Makita engineers deserve a good pat on the back for that one. There's nearly no overhang of the base plate on the left side of the saw, maybe 5 to 10cms for you guys, but when compared to the predecessors what looks like a good 2" hanging over the base plate. 'Baby-got-some-back!' Indeed.😎🤠🤓. You have already mentioned this, and I didn't hear, but I'm multitasking. Anyways, great video Brother.

Faster speed makes cleaner cuts on panel which the plunge saw is designed for. although the 40v is better designed, I'm sure most people still love the 36v.
@markr1142 7 ай бұрын
The 36v has a lot less torque though, so doesn't maintain higher revs under load, so cuts slower. The xgt maintains higher revs whilst cutting, because of it's extra torque.

Hm the makita 36v kit with track is $560. This 40v is $690. Festool is $800. (Mafell is like $1,500 which I hear is the best but that's out of budget for me.) I'm leaning towards festool for the included dust bag, ability to use only 1 battery, imperial depth measurement which includes the track, and the fact that the tso parallel guides have an easier connection with the festool track. Still undecided though.

Interestingly the Instruction Manual does not mention the AFT feature at all, while for other tools it is advertised on the tool's body and cited in the Instruction Manual as well. I made a call to the distributor and they could not confirm the saw having AFT either. Maybe the anti kickback feature is part of the electric brake or ADT?

I just swapped my 36v to the 40v. The thing I noticed is that the saw blade of the 40v extends about maybe half a milimeter outwards and does not cut flush to my existing cut line, although using the same blade. Hence I have readjusted the splinter guard on my 3 tracks. Do you have the same problem?

@robertrada4783 2 жыл бұрын
This holds true for most plunge track saws (sometimes even Mafell). It’s on a track, forcing the blade to not go off on it’s own (albeit tiny) direction. The concept becomes very obvious when you try to run a jigsaw on a track. Thus, they do like more conventional woodworking table-saw practices. Rips blade for rips. Crosscut blade for cross cuts. So on.

Nice Review. There was an issue with the thin efficutblades, that on some Occassions the Cutline gets wobbly and takes a curve. Especially on thicker/harder material. Did this ever occur to you? I think this may also be a reason why makita lowered the rpm on the new 40v plunge saw. Greetings from another part of the world 😉
@ollie9199 2 жыл бұрын
Yes cos the efficut are optimised for battery saws (thinner kerf to save battery) you need a thicker blade to manage deflection 2mm+ or increase speed and slow your feed rate but then you can burn your material. Also efficut blades suck to sharpen and chip easily. Just the nature of the beast I just use a thicker Freud blade…
@tobiasbromund5464 2 жыл бұрын
@@ollie9199 and how did that affect your cutting speed and battery lifetime with the thicker blades? One of the major points in which the makita plunge saw is praised is its effortless fast cutting like butter. But one of the keypoints to that is the really thin efficutblades which could tend to produce those wobbly cuts on higher strain. So i'm interested in like how much it changes the performance of the saw with using a "normal" blade over the efficutblades. Greetings

Their annoying system of wirelessly switching the dust extractors on and off. You pay $50-100 extra for the ability to install the module. And then you still have to buy the module for over $75. Every tool will need it’s own $75 module. Once that’s sorted, it will turn the vacuum on when you turn on the tool. Realistically, routers and sanders and things are going to be corded. So, that leaves you with when using a rotary hammer which you’ll want the vacuum on and not have it tool actuated or the occasional indoor sawing (and most of us have corded track saws…). Long story short: I do what we’ve all been doing for ages…use a remote on off button that’s tied to the hose.

Bothe saws in this video were made in China. My 40v Impact Driver was made in Japan.

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Yea, different plants for different regions, but so for 40V is China only for Europe. Makita has their UK and Romania and their Germany plant pretty much exclusively supply Europe, but for example the brushless barrel grip jigsaw is made in the UK for all markets. They also export some models from their USA plant.

Makita, why why why will you not add the addition of a riving knife, definitely the biggest flaw on this machine, it also can make it very dangerous in certain circumstances, the reason I won’t be purchasing it, looks like I’ll be sticking with TS55. Very disappointing, great reviews dude keep them coming

I was sceptic too, but have to say after hundreds of plunge cuts i never had a problem. Using your head helps a lot, dont ram it in there. Just Eaze it in. A bit easier too without a (fixed) knife and the markings on the side of the casing.

@@joepmeloen3373 I’ve owned the corded makita years ago when they where 1st released and when cutting trespa or cheap building grade ply it would snag when getting closer to the end of the run, I found myself using a wedge to help, the riving knife doesn’t need to be fixed, it could be spring loaded and drop into the cut line, it’s not the plunging that’s the problem, issues start when cutting unstable materials like ply, damp timbers etc, I appreciate its a good machine with stable materials but they can learn a lot from festool, I’ve always been a makita fan but this saw just isn’t their yet, but if it works for you then happy days.

Mafell doesn’t have a riving knife. Festool doesn’t anymore either.

A riving knife will lock you into a specific blade kerf. The Makita opens up a lot of blade options. Plus the Makita has the electronic anti-kickback feature.

@@maltaylor8146 yeah when the material pinches the blade ill use a wedge too. But 99,99% of the time im using the saw on stable sheet goods so its never a problem. For that rougher timber i have other options with a knife.

I've compared the 40v and 80v vacs. There is only a handful of Makita 80v tools, and they aren't all easily comparable, not to mention damn expensive to review.

@@MrStringybark Asking if 40v is the same as 36v on a video specifically made to point out the differences... Are you balls deep into the 18v platform? If so I would stay with 18v unless there are specific tool which you feel are lacking from the dual battery 36V If you're planning on upgrading your other tools periodically and care enough about reduced size and weight then maybe it will be worth it to you, I personally will be waiting until prices have reduced once more people adopt the system. At the end of the day there will be people who upgrade for the sake of upgrading just to have the best of the best and it's "worth it" to them. The simple fact that many of the tools will be smaller and lighter with a single battery is reason enough for me to consider the upgrade, you however may have a different view.

@@balazsbanhalmi hi yes this is the one but it doesnt really have a button for it i kinda figured it out by plunging the saw into a workpiece and going a little back. The saw noticed that and stopped. First i thought my battery was flat but that wasnt the case.
