Enjoy your reviews. Had this saw for over 3 months now, UK based. Circular saws have come along way in the last 35years. I predominantly cut green Oak and kiln Oak has a timber frame repair specialist on medieval buildings and alike. Stopped using my 4" corded saw. A pleasure to use, bit of a game changer. Thanks
I have this in 185mm. great saw.. really have to keep tyhe blades / batteries up to them. rear handle saves your wrist in many applications. Been runnings them in the US for decades.
I pre-ordered this saw, had to wait 2 months to get it, now have been using it for the past month, and I love it so much. Also bought the skilsaw 10¼ a month before this one was announced, I returned the skilsaw quickly and pre-ordered this one. Love this makita alot more then the skilsaw.
Thanks for all your reviews. They are great. I actually just picked up the 270mm corded Makita because they haven't released the rear handled one in Australia yet. I have some 190mm posts to deal with at the moment and couldn't wait and alternatives are slim pickings. I just have the 165mm 18v cordless which is good for cross cuts but rips can be a struggle. Decided I will get the 185mm 40v for the every day circular going forward and just bringing out the beast when needed.
Bought one of those after I saw your 40V saw comparison. So this is my first battery powered saw. I am really looking forward to the 235 mm HS009 coming to local stores as a complement. Fortunately I have a strong wrist from using 60 cc chainsaw one handed to do crosscuts with this beast. It is really not that bad, more like a bit odd at first and when I got used to it being right handed this even has its upsides. I was not sold on the 18V saws I had seen in use. Corded was where power for ripping was found. When anyone is still wondering whether it has the power, I say it cuts 50 mm spruce at least as fast or faster both ripping and crosscutting than Makita 2704 table saw and Makita HS7611 1600 W corded saw, while being butter smoother doing it. Ripping timber feels like it is cardboard instead. The corded saws due to their brushed motors and dumb power management (none at all) won't bog down quite as easily when pushed real hard. While I have good quality blades on my other saws, it appears the Makita Efficut blade might have an edge in cutting speed.
I got one and the base was wobbly. My friend did, too. We returned them to our respective dealer. The rear rivet that was related to base was not tight enough even when all levers were locked down. Any issues on yours?
If I bought one, it's primary use case would be cutting 4x posts and knee braces for barns, sheds, and the occasional timber frame. I think if I were building a cabin in Alaska like you suggested, I'd just use a chainsaw. Also please do the 80v chainsaw when released.
What thickness of MDF is equal to a ‘murican 4x4? 😚 Post vid edit: Seems like single battery XGT is pushing it at 10-1/4”? Then again, that’s in line with the history. Big Foot did the first one: a modified Skilsaw MAG 77. A 7-1/4” saw with a 10-1/4” blade on it. I’m not sure how genuine your final question was but the Big Foot was made to cut US 4x material in one pass. 10” just wouldn’t...ahem..cut it. The competition (including Skillsaw, themselves) stuck with the 10-1/4” convention. I don’t know if some muscleman is out there on a ladder, adjusting rafters with a 10-1/4” in one hand, but, basically, it’s used how a 7-1/4” is used on a framing job. Also ran, 10-1/4” to timber-framing is like that 125mm saw to you and me. Makita have a beautiful 10-1/4” sold as “5104” in the USA. One of the distributors I buy from sell it as “lightweight, compact, baby, mini” etc. 😳
That little piece of plastic in-between the trigger protects from holding the side with the grip in the down position. Don't have to worry about slipping toward the trigger. Also since its a rear handle some will try to hang it by the handle rather than the rafter hook. You can see the issue there.
10.25 inch such a strange blade size. The next in line for development is a 12 inch circular saw now. I've got the LXT X2 36V XSH06 paid $91USD for the kit with 2 extra batteries that was a steal of a lifetime and I've had the rear handled one as well,I can't get them to stall for nothing, probably because Diablo thin kerf blades, and because their smaller in size 7.25 inch but I love them, they're the Lamborghini of circular saws fast and smooth
10-1/4” is somewhat of a standard in US framing. Big Foot cemented that blade size when they started modifying the Skillsaw MAG77 and the other manufacturers (including Skilsaw, themselves) didn’t bother re-inventing the wheel when they brought their competing products to the market. Your conventional 10” tablesaw has a max 3.5” cutting depth, but realistically can only do 3” to 3-1/4”. Same applies to a handheld circular saw. 10-1/4” allows you to cut 3.5” or “4x” material in one pass.
... oooo Makita, I don't know way it's not sticky with me , even when they have most of the cordless tools brushless. The thing is, in America, you are used to do a lot of cutting in the site, I used to do almost everything in the workshop
Добрый вечер!Я уже писал Вам,но Вы мне ничего не ответили и так,как я парень не гордый напишу Вам еще раз.Мне очень нравится Ваш канал,так,как макита является моим любимым брендом,Вам я так понял она тоже по душе,Вы наверно один из немногих блогеров,кто делает такие замечательные обзоры и сравнения,дай Вам Бог здоровья за Ваш труд,В давнем своем комментарии я Вам писал не могли бы Вы сделать обзор и сравнение на мой любимый перфоратор сдс мах 80в мах 006,эта самая мощная машина из всех существующих и ситуация будет я думаю иакая же,как с рубанками на акб и макита я думаю порвет всех,но хотелось бы увидеть обзор на этого красавца и сравнение с самым мощным сетевым аналогом типа 5212 и девольтом флексвольт на акб самым мощным,заранее благодарен!!!
The reason I haven't answered your question is that I don't speak Russian. I may get around to doing the test you speak of one day but it is a very expensive test to do.
Its sad that toolmakers dont know what are the standards in building wooden things. I bought a circular saw that cuts 4.8 mmm, and i was extremely sad that i couldnt cut 7×5 in one go. But one year ago, our woodseller decided to cheap out and stsrted to sell 6.5 × 4.6 pieces haha. So yea, now i dont even need to adjust my circular saw haha

Hi, could you check and see if a 270mm blade fits in this saw so that it may get a little closer to a cutting depth of 100mm / 4 inches?
I have this in 185mm. great saw.. really have to keep tyhe blades / batteries up to them. rear handle saves your wrist in many applications. Been runnings them in the US for decades.
Will be counting down the days till you do the 40v XGT Plunge Saw review that's just been released in Japan!!
I pre-ordered this saw, had to wait 2 months to get it, now have been using it for the past month, and I love it so much. Also bought the skilsaw 10¼ a month before this one was announced, I returned the skilsaw quickly and pre-ordered this one. Love this makita alot more then the skilsaw.
Really want to see a comparison between this and the Skilsaw cordless 10-1/4"
Two saws I certainly do not need at all, but...
And here is the smallest Makita 40v Circ saw ruclips.net/video/scXeVFHOUUQ/видео.html
Is it compatible with the Makita 1.4m or 3m guide rails, or with an adapter?
The blade size does seem more US-centric as our "4x4" posts are 3 1/2 nominal.
Could u do a vid explaining what u think makita is going to bring out next and what u would like to see

Thank you for taking the time to make all these great videos 👍❤️🙏
Glad you like them!
Thank for great review and share your idea from Thailand.
Well that's a beast. 🍻. Another well made video. You are edging me closer and closer to getting on the 40V platform.
I have got a circular Saw which can Cut 22cm deep😀
Looks like a cracking saw especially for large framing work, I'm sold 👏
I have the 185mm rear handle 40v and its soooo smooth! It rips so good it almost feels like there is no blade attached.:D
I'd like a blade left saw to go with my blade right 7-1/4". This could serve that purpose and so much more.
Any updates?
@@barjonahbuxton3264 Well now they have the blade right 10-1/4" that's track compatible. Prob just get a 6-1/2" blade left instead.
Yes boy! My fav 40v tool after the dropsaw
What's a drop saw?
A mitre saw
I miss the hills man. I haven't been able to come home since 2019. That saw is a beast.
I got one and the base was wobbly. My friend did, too. We returned them to our respective dealer. The rear rivet that was related to base was not tight enough even when all levers were locked down. Any issues on yours?
They really needed 103mm cut depth. For the tooth to run below the material and pick up the sawdust.
Yes!!! Been waiting for this one 🙌 Nice one !!
Great review!
Will it take a xgt 8ah battery?
Very professional intro with the tool specs... Love it. Of course I now want the saw.. but hard to justify. I'll stick with my 18x2 for now.
A beast indeed! I would buy it if I needed it, but I probably don't need it. I love the contrast between the beast and the little miny-mo. Haha
Do you know when this is released in AUS?
They made the top handle version 270mm! Why’d they make this one 260mm?
I like new presentation 👍
Let's stay in the excess, next tool Makita *GA038G* 40Vmax XGT 230mm (9") Angle Grinder 🙏
WOW!?! that Circular saw is massive bro. I don't need one, but want one now. Lol 🙇🏾♂️👍🏾😉🖖🏾
is the 40V brad nailer available in NZ? I wish they would have made a finish nailer before the brad nailer. but a review of that would be cool
Review not far away, but shhh, don't tell anyone...
finally a review for this saw
Such an awesome saw love my makita
Great review mate. Look forward to learning more about the XGT range.
Plenty more to come...
MASSIVE!
Compare the rear handle 185m to the top handle
Hearing it struggle at 4:20 and the stall test shortly after…. I’ll be waiting to see if they bring out an 80v version.
Makita 🖐💥🏆
Argh! You AND Mancaver tools beat me to the turntable b-roll footage! I guess I'll just return the turntable to Amazon...
I run a small independent sawmill. I need this! Haha
Крутая цыка, у меня такая же! Пилякать под 45° это то, что нужно!

Great video thanks!
Does that fit festool guide rails?
I own it and LOVE it!
I’m looking at getting one of these saws, with the right set up I could cut 32 studs in about 5 minutes off the pack!

Could they make it right handed
I am on dewalts platform. Do they do the same size?
You didn't watch the video did you?

Almost enough to make me move to makita.. Almost 😊
Its huge! Does it even fit in a makpack?
good question, i think it would fit in the big makpacs.
@@connahjones8178 maybe carpack:) it's super huge
It isnt huge 😂 my old Muffel with a 440mm Blade ist huge
But it doesn't run on batteries Lukas
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I think he has missed the point posted same comment like 5 times, like he needs validation that he has a big blade
I assume there is no plans to make it capable of being used on a track?
You need to watch my next video out this coming weekend. I think it may please you.
Wish i can own 1 😋🤪
Ps. Im from belguim 🙂
😲 I need that LOL 😂💯
The teal is real #teammakita #tools&stuff

Ive found a tablesaw is more handy when doing cuts of that depth. My hikoki cordless/Ac tablesaw is awesome.
mafell kss saws?
piranah tools nelson stock them he should do a review of the 185mm one (something65)
I want to see the new brad nailer 18-volt
80volt rotary hammer review please bro
Awesome!!!! :)
this saw is 5mm off being perfect such a shame would instantly buy if it had that 100mm cutting depth
I know right.
Is the baseplate thick enough to shave it down/make it thinner so you can get that extra 5mm or 6mm?

So..i want this Saw really badly. I really cannot think for the life of me what I need a 10 1/4" circular saw for..But I want it.
Its sad that toolmakers dont know what are the standards in building wooden things. I bought a circular saw that cuts 4.8 mmm, and i was extremely sad that i couldnt cut 7×5 in one go.

Makita circular saw number 👍
The beast.😊😊🤗
am i the only one who prefers the blade on the right hand side like the big
makita corded saw
I'd say you are.. having the blade on the right side is far from user friendly..
Has anyone tried to put a 270mm blade
You know if this fits yet? Really like to know….
No it doesn't.
👍
Sure somebody’s already pointed out they’ve long had a 305mm circular saw. But you must be talking about cordless huh?
Thought that was pretty obvious, and I'm sure I say that in the video.
From time to time there is a saw with the blade backwards in your videos 🤔😅
One of the Easter eggs I put in for my regular hard-core fans.
Makita never fail to innovate and impress 😁👏👏👍👍but that 100mm post is a bit out of spec for the saws capabilities that will be a disappointment
Have it love it cut beams tji joist stacked up gang cutting studs Makita 80 volt 14 inch beam saw wanted
Cool 🤭
I have got a circular Saw which can Cut 22cm deep😀
RIDICULOUS !!!!
I have a question - Your voice seems not to have a NZ accent, it has more of a hint of an Australian accent. 😏
That is a Kiwi accent, but they can be similar
definitely a kiwi accent
Rip us market
It is 4.9 kg but your hair is so long it pushed it over the 5kg mark.
It's having it's last hurrah tonight, then tomorrow it's OFF WITH THE HAIR.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL you won't regret it. You using the 10-1/4" or the little baby one?
I'm worried about the cold. Probably use the new Makita 40v 9" grinder.
Sorry . A 100 mm makita for 360€ with cord. This 95 mm has the same price but 460€ + for 2 akkus and charger
Hounded you my ass.
That 5mm mattered to your ex-gf
Boy oh boy that's a weak comment.
Dam 5 mm off. 2 passed to cut a 4x4 ill stick with 2 passes on the new 6 1/2 saw
The HS011G cuts to 104mm in one pass with a 270mm blade. Get that.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL cool will check it out just got the 6 1/2 the other day 👍
crap. 95mm want atleast 105mm so dont need roll post around.
