MAKITA 40V IN THE US!!! ► amzn.to/3tszyAP
But I want the LS002G :(
Where do you live?
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL the US!
It's available in the US but it's called the GSL02
How ya going mate great video quick question would this saw be good for fine cuts for kickers in kitchens?
I’ve used this saw for two days, I’ve been fitting a flat roof, cutting 47x170 timbres all day. No battery change. The best part is how buttery smooth the cuts are. Almost feels weird how smooth it is. I actually want to marry it.
I don't think anyone who watches this channel would think you are weird for wanting to marry your saw.
This comment made me buy the saw
What size battery?
How's your saw going..
@youiyoui9942 did you buy if so how's it going..
Had this saw for a couple of months now and have to admit it's the best mitre saw i've ever had
well done Makita
Good to know, just ordered.
Just ordered one haha
How's saw now
@@TheOMEGANOX how's the saw..
@@Boxingfanatic-fb8zgStill fantastic a truly magnificent mitre saw. Well worth the £££££
This saw was my gateway to the 40volt. Best saw I've owned, easy to take it up on the scaffold to do the trim for cladding.
I agree. So easy to move around one handed and not having to worry about power supply. I recently had to move my old Makita 10 inch corded saw at home; what a beast!
Bit pissed off that this was a such great review as I want it now
same
Yes. This channel is the worst because he's the best!
So these are compliments... right?
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL most definitely, you have a great passion, and style, the way you review stuff is the way I look at tools when buying(I am a carpenter) you show all points . Plus very entertaining. Keep up the good work my friend
I feel ya... Cause I went and got one... xD
This is the best saw I’ve ever owned, it’s beautifully designed, I’m constantly amazed at the quality of finish cut I get from the factory blade, and I bought this saw with confidence because of your review! Thank you!
Glad you like it.
That was pretty damn impressive for a first cut out of the box. I’m just getting into the XGT line slowly 😂. I’ve had the 7 1/4 rear handle forever and just recently got another 10 1/4 rear handle. I had one before but my generosity made me part with it and had to get another. Picked up the XGT impact driver and hammer drill kit a couple weeks ago so it’s a start. Definitely was looking into this chopsaw for the jobsite. My dad scares the hell out of me with a circular saw. Almost cut his fingers off twice so I’m wanting to get him a miter where he can just lay the lumber and drop the saw in the cut. He’s getting older and careless about safety😂. Been a huge fan of the channel for quite a while brother. Thank you for buying all these tools at your own expense to make these videos for us to enjoy and learn from. Makita is a solid brand and the XGT line is amazing. Take care my friend
Had mine a couple weeks now and really love it. It has everything you would want in a mitre saw and some. Well done Makita
How's the dust collection with it? Do you use a vacuum?
@@TonyMalony834 its fucking amazing, one of my mates who cuts a shit load of mdf hardly sweeps up of course its not 100% but its dam close
In regards to the dust extraction, and this is if it sits in a shop all day, I’ve seen some dust extraction boxes made up that will suck up the vast majority of the dust. Helps a lot when cutting mdf and melemine and treated products
Thanks 😎. This looks like Makitas answer to Hikoki’s mega priced 216 saw - the fit and finish look very good. Well it’s light enough for me to carry, looks well built and accurate and has enough power to do the job - I best get saving...
Wow. That is a nice friggin saw. I do believe I will buy that when it comes to the US. That will be the first 40v I will get.
Excellent job of reviewing it. Thanks!
Same, I've been waiting for this to release, hoping for the led line instead of the laser on the 2x18 model.
Only negative for me is the extra 7lbs since my use is 100% carrying it around, but considering the improvements, I still seriously like this saw.
It won't be your last. I love the XGT line.
I really hope these features get added to the 12" miter saw, whenever the 40V hits the States. They addressed all the issues holding me back from buying the LS1219L. Steel detent plate, sliding fence, shadowline LED, front bevel adjust knob, rail alignment fixed... Makita, pls
Same here. Will absolutely get rid of my Ridgid corded 12 inch for it.
The 12" XGT is nice, but is in the Festool price range
Much cheaper than Festool here.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL over here the GSL04M1 w/4ah battery & charger retails $1399.00 usd, and the corded KS120 retails $1575.00. (Acme tools, Home Depot, etc)
There's actually only one store in my vicinity that even stocks any XGT, and they charge even more. All the hardware chains and big box stores only carry LXT in stock.
@@histguy101 And you're comparing it to a corded tool.
About rpm. I believe tool companies mark their tools with max rpm readings which are not taken without load. First they put the tool under load and in the moment the load disappears tool gets some boost before electronics could stabilize rpm. Same thing as 40v max actually is 36v :)
I've got two flexvolt mitre saws but I'm still feeling the need to purchase this beauty. 👍😃
Had the flexvolt, burnt on me in about 8 months, go with makita 40v 12" it's a superior saw and quality is there , I tried milwaukee which is garbage the dewalt are better than the milwaukee, but Makita is step up
Just bought one tonight in Canada, have a minty 03 that someone never used off zero LS 1013 which replaced my first LS 1013 I bought in 2001 and the stand, a 714 too my fav saw, but the detentes are getting loose after 5 years, I'm old 68, been doing carpentry for a living for over 30 years, hoping this saw is magic so I can continue to do my magic!
Great News! Handy Hardware have just contacted me with a special price for this saw LS002G. $1098 for the skin and $1498 for the kit! That's $150 cheaper than I have seen it elsewhere! Just say you saw the price on this review. orders@handyhardware.co.nz or in store 1/79 Wairau Rd Auckland. All prices are in New Zealand Dollars. Check them out and maybe we will get some more deals and tools to review. Thanks for watching!
£580 for bare tool in UK
Hey mate great stuff i'm really keen on this saw after your review.
I'm also from Nz, do you know what comes in the kit version for this model?
OK, now you've done it! I wasn't really considering changing to the 40v platform but now I've gotta' sit and have a think (and that's gonna' hurt!). Fortunately, I'm in the States so I have to wait --otherwise I prolly would have already gone out and bought one! Lol Great/fun review --thanks!
Yes, it looks good, the XGT tools are so expensive though, well most cordless tools are expensive, I’ve still got a Makita LS 1013 corded mitre saw, it’s served me well.
I'm still running an old LS 1030 myself, and still love it. But this XGT bad boy looks like the one that'll steal my love.
@@markhedquist9597 yes the XGT mitre saw looks good, it’s expensive though they’ll probably bring a 10 inch model out soon, maybe an 80 volt two 40 volt batteries I think the XGT tools will be better than Dewalt’s flexvolt .
I can't believe i didn't leave a comment on this video !
This is the best video for this saw that i've seen and is the reason i bought my own a couple of months ago and am so happy with it , thank you 👍
I made my own short video because the one thing we use a lot of at times is 95mm MDF skirting and having had the 305mm LS1214L i've always cut the skirting upright and wanted to do the same with this saw , there were no videos out there of 95mm x 18mm being cut up right so there is now .
Again thanks for another great video 👌
Yeah that twin 18v one looks rubbish...... I'll get rid of it for you. You don't mind posting it to the UK do you?
Go to Melbourne Australia it’s closer
Looking forward to additional feedback on accuracy for trim work. These small saws should (in theory) be great for the occasional trim repair, but for larger trim they rely on both the bevel and slide functions. Both if those (bevel and slide can introduce additional accuracy challenges (i.e. non-parallel blades affect the slide and bevel cuts are more susceptible to blade deflection, etc.). In short, a much cheaper saw can cut 2X material "good enough" so, for me, the real question is "can it handle big trim beveled on the flat and produce tight joints ?"
I've just ordered one, I'm putting my money on it replacing my 10" bosch glide saw. I install trim and cabinets and very very rarely cut anything close the max on this saw. I hope it works
@@TonyMalony834 how is it working out? Just ordered the 12”
I had to calibrate mine.
Quarter of a degree on base an 1 degree on vertical.
Apart from that it’s a good saw!
I'm anal about that too!
Superb! Awesome looking machine! Makita rules! Vertical handle makes for more accuracy when pushing through a cut! Thanks for your patience, ha ha. Enjoy it! Cheers Mate!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁✌🏻😀🥇
Beast that pure quality love makita that's the daddy of cordless saws I reckon makita always innovate/ slowly but surely lol redesign improvements and adjust thier products engineered to suit the end user requirements in ie construction joinery electrical other professional trades 😁👍or just the general consumer that wants professional quality tools
@Tools & Stuff. Thank you for the very thorough review of the Makita DLS111 cordless compound miter saw. It's great Makita listened to you and other owners of the X2 version and made the 40V MAX version better. As you keep using DLS111 please keep us updated on any problems or suggestions we can expect.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
I've been kicking myself for not getting the 10" 36v when they had it on sale for 512usd with 4 batteries. but after using the company one and seeing the improvements on this one I can't wait until they release the 40v here.
Or you could wait until they bring a 10 inch XGT out, you know it’s only a matter of time, it might be a 80 volt two batteries, that will be good..
Can you post a video showing how to make the planter box. I want to make the same one as you.
Mate. Makita should be really looking after you!!
You've saved them a fortune in advertising.
Awesome bit of kit there. Great to see makita are making good improvements. #lovemakita #toolsandstuffnumber1
I have certainly helped sell a lot of stuff for them judging by all the comments I get from people who have watched my vids. #OneDay...
How come Scott Brown gets given a bunch of stuff but poor old mate misses out
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Can you please do a comparison between the Metabo 36v Miter Saw vs the Makita 40v... thank you 😊
It's a 40v max... which means, like Dewalt, it is really 36v... Regardless, it's a Makita so it will be awesome and last a long time!
That is a sexy saw.
Awesome review too. The attention to detail is first class. 👌🏻
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Great Review like always. 👍👍
Cheers man
Looks count for my enjoyment of a tool and that darker metal is sweet looking.
Holy shoot! The shadow line like my DeWalt. I want the corded Makita saw for the rail to wal space saving. Maybe an updated version by the time my DeWalt is wearing out.
Also did you know a random carpenter RUclipsr sells angle plates made out of heavier metal? He started selling years ago but it’s in US and he has to have 50-100 or some number of orders to have a batch made. May have to wait but it’s awesome he made them. Name is Stene Woodwork here on the Tubes.
such a nice tool, and so compact, lightweight. might be nice if they could also bring back the laser at the same time as keeping the shadow line. to cover widest possible range of different lighting conditions. well it doesnt matter to me i guess! as i dont need a mitre saw. good tool to get for 40v platform though. the quality of it really so well built
I was going to buy the big 12" version and after watching this I will now buy this model. It made me realise the 12" is probably too much saw for me. I hope the Australian version is the same as the NZ version. Thanks.
They are the same.
Omg 8:59 they have to fix the locked away position to make it tighter instead of the 3mm movement banging around. been listening to my 36v bang around in the back of my van for years drives me nuts. love the pin idea. i usually jam a rag in it
Darn, why can't Makita just make a 36V LXT version of this saw and a 10" version. Or some kind of double LXT (36V) to XGT (40V) adapter...
Today I tried to buy this saw .In Australia it’s currently sold out and pre orders are expected February 2022.
I can send you one from here... shipping might be a bit steep though...
The handle suits left and right handers as well as the double bevel
XGT 40V just launched in the U.S.A. today...but the miter saw is not part of the initial launch (just "coming soon" unfortunately). It will be interesting to see if folks are willing to jump to the Makita 40V instead of the "one battery" that works on everything with Milwaukee (high amp batts) and Dewalt (Flexvolts fir on regular 20v max tools). Makita seems to try to compete on the features and quality of their tools (like this one)...not sure it will be enough.
I waited and waited and waited before buying the 36 volt saw because of the price and just how big it was. But my trusty old small and light Ryobi was just feeling its age and Home Depot had a great deal on a kit so I pulled the trigger and bought it. And then literally 2 weeks later this XGT saw was announced and it is the perfect setup. Of course it's a lot more expensive and I can't get it in the states yet. But I sure want it even thought he 36v saw is great (except the laser).
This saw is available in some parts of the states. But you may want to hold off until you have seen the reviews of the 10" and 12" XGTs which are already out in some parts of the world. Reviews here soon hopefully...
You make a great informative video, plus your audio was loud and very understandable. That is a great saw, I've owned several makita miter saws in the past. I purchased makitas first battery miter saw years ago it had a 7 inch blade. Great little saw for shoe molding etc. But did not have enough power and RPMS. Looking to get this one, wanted the Milwaukee miter saw but to many complaints.
The only thing that's bugging me and keeping me from getting it is I'm 99.9% already on flexvolt and 20v max dewalt line. So unless there's some sort of a gizmo adapter that I can
1. Plug it into a socket like the flexvolt miter saw
2. Adapter from makita to dewalt battery... Kinda like I have the Milwaukee nail guns with dewalt batteries.
Unfortunately I can't get with having multiple chargers and multiple battery platforms. There's just no sense in it.
Also in my opinion. Makita 40v battery line is too large for any of the other tools. It's just too bulky. Kinda like runing flexvolt battery on impact... It's just 2 big.
Best solution is to have some adapter that makes it a corded or cordless unit
I was wondering , have you ever done videos on Nikita table saw. And what do you think about it?
And the details of it
Great review. It convinced me to buy one! Thank you
Thanks so much for all your amazing reviews. I was wondering how loud this tool is? Is it about the same as the 36v mitre saws? Thanks again.
Picked this up last week after looking at options for a small but feature-rich saw. Nice out of the box. The shadow line is useless. Every other element of the saw is spot on!
This saw was never advertised to have a shadow line, its just a work light, dewalt has the patent for shadowline so i don't know where you seen where it says it has a shadow line, who ever said it has this feature is talking bo--ocks and if anybody on utube said it has is wrong too, as this guy, its just a work light, this guys full of shite
Pull your head out of your arse mate. All new Makita 40v mitre saws have shadow lines.
Damn that thing doesn't slow down at all on those bevel cuts.
Trying to order one here in the US. Sadly it’s not available. I have the Makita 10” saw but after back fusion and two knee surgeries… I’ve got to cut weight of of my tools. I wish Mikita would make this same saw with a 10” blade, keep the same size frame, rails etc. Just go to the larger blade and adjust the head to accommodate.
I’m a big fan of the shadow light. I have it on a couple of other saws we have, a Dewalt and Milwaukee. The Milwaukee will work in all but direct sunlight. I’ve found all I have to do is put the saw in the shade.
Thanks for the great review.
The 40v 12" is not far away. I will try and find out how heavy it is. I have seen pics and it looks smaller than the 10" lxt.
Wow, it's super heavy! 30kg (66 lbs)
I was looking on the Mikita web site. It says 48.52 shipping lbs. my 10” Makita is 57.9 lbs.
I’m going to guess. If the 48.52 shipping lbs is correct then the box, packaging add up to about 5 lbs. So the unit with batteries is probably 45 lbs. but all this is a guess.
If your correct on weight. Then it’s heavier than the larger 10”.
I'm talking about the new LS003G 12''
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIALyep…. Sorry. That’s not too bad for a 12”
I'm still waiting for makita to release the 165mm 18v saw which is like this but smaller. Might have to order from Japan.
I wish they had this as a 18vx2 when I bought the 190mm dropy (don't no the item number) I just waiting for a half decent reason to start buying 40v as there is not alot of 18v makita tools I don't own.
This saw is so dreamy I’m so keen to see the what more the xgt range has to offer
Have you watched the other 6 xgt tools I've reviewed? 😉
I have mate your videos are addicting
Thanks for video, my next tool. Cheers
Unlike the older model you showed in this video does the new 40v one have the groove so your able to mitre say 4 to 5 inch skirting in the upright position
When do you think they will update the 36v to this new featureset (led, better side supports, better ux)? This is so good, better than the Festool, just don't want another battery platform... Happy with the 18v
At first sight, I said WOW. Under your lighting, it looked like gunmetal, not the normal raw metal look. Great review. The bevel cuts on 12x2 timber was a taxing on the 2.5Ah, I didn't hear you say that with the 4Ah. Also, it seemed you were comparing the size of a 12 inch miter, with an 8.5 inch. Of course the 8.5 is going to be smaller. Great video, and I am in the market for a Makita miter saw, but I was leaning towards the plug in type.... Not sure if I'll be moving it much.
Some tools do not really need to be dc powered, especially the not so mobile ones like this saw. What's the advantage really? This is more of a workshop piece of equipment- I prefer the corded one.
Damn, why couldn't they have made the handle horizontal, and added the option for a ac power.... come on makita.... great review man
That would be good, ac power as well, but it all adds to the cost
I just got mine, and ... The Right Bevil unlock sticks. You pull it out, and you bevil... then try to get it back to zero and you have to get a hammer and a pin to tap it back home so the saw can lock back to zero. I also had to spray penetrating oil on it. I now have it sitting at an angle with 3-in-1 oil hopefully seeping down inside the miter joint to grease whatever it is that was painted after the fit. I think we can now say why it is Makita doesn't make the 1 handed all in 1 adjustment mechanism for the newer 40v cordless Miter saws they have released in America. This setup seems to be the weakpoint and the strongpoint of the saw at the same time. Am I the only one that is having this problem?
Whenever something sticks on my miter saw, I use a dry lubricant like graphite powder, as long as it's not contacting any grease from the manufacturer. It works so good
Can’t wait to get this in Australia.
Hurry up Makita.
Haven't you guys got this yet? It's been out here for nearly a year.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL
Not yet and Makita haven’t got a date yet.
Can you cut 140 x 18 on edge with it.
Does it come with a stand ? If not what one is compatible ?
Great review, very informative
I'm really tempted to buy this saw, just wondering how long the batteries last under typical use like 2nd fixing a large house, not always got power in the house when on 2nd fix
Great saw, except you can't cut a standard 4x4 post in one pass. The blade is 1/16 too small.
No saw with a blade this size will.
seem's like a good review, but as i am viewing from the state's, some additional info in inches & pounds would be cool, maybe info could be placed on screen like captioning, otherwise nice review.
I finally saw this in person at a store. I was even allowed to touch it. It looks very premium. I was really considering this when buying a more compact saw, but it weighs more than my 255mm, so I went with a 190mm saw. I really want to rig up a dual port dust collection like this has...somehow.
Weighs more than which 255mm? This saw is so light compared to most saws.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Well, I've never picked it up, so I'm just going by its listings online. Maybe that's the package weight total, but it says 25kg. My old 255mm was 20.4kg. The 190mm I ended up with is 15.4kg, which is still a good bit heavier than the Milwaukee 190/185mm.
Pity you haven't actually watched this video as I talk a lot about the weight.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Well it's too late now because I bought a different saw for that very reason. Makita should really post the actual weight on their website, because there website and everywhere lists the weight as "55.1lbs," including acme, which lists it as "assembled weight: 55.1lbs."
You're awfully hostile. I love this channel. I think it's the only tool channel I'm actually subscribed to, and one of the only channels I have notifications on for. I've bought tools based on recommendations here, including imports, but most of the times I comment, a back-bitey reply is quick to follow. Have a good day.
Well it does annoy me when people comment on my videos without watching them and spread incorrect information.
Wish they made this style in a 10 incher
Another awesome review, knew I wouldn't be disappointed in the 40v 216mm Mitre Saw. Any dates for the 260mm or 305mm 40v?
Not yet...
I’ve had some issues of the saw kicking back quite frequently when pushing through cuts. Does anyone know why? Is this happening to anyone else?
If i understood correctly, your issue is that the wood you are trying to cut has slight bend in it.
When you are cutting, you are creating relief cut.
Since you push the blade, the wood wants to "fold" towards the blade gripping it to a halt.
The wider the material is, the bigger issues you have.
Great video thank you. I'm sold, gonna make my order. Can you (or anyone) share the height of the base to the table top ? I want to check if i need to make a new table to fit this in so the rest of my table willsupport the material when it's placed on the table bed. I can't seem to find the information anywhere. Appreciate your time.
nice review!
#Tools&Stuff this is an awesome vid, Just bought this tool last week...
Detent plate be brushed chromed steel.
Waiting for the corded version. Waiting...... waiting...... waiting......
Hi mate been looking at this saw online is there any chance the next time you have the saw out an you tell me if it would cut 95mm X 16mm skirting board standing vertical against the fence? I cut my mitre's and scribe's this way saves me laying the saw in the bevel setting thanks and keep the good reviews coming 👌🏻
I know it cuts 90 x 18mm

@@11711BRANDON upright? Yea
@@tysonfoster7223 thanks
Very good review!
Great review, thanks
the magnet is sticking to the miter lock plate, that thin plate underneath the miter scale. It's made of magnetic steel. Part number 236 on the parts breakdown diagram
Comparison vid with the hikoki 36v 185mm miter saw?
Did you ever work with a Kapex? Can you compare blade deflection?
Crap, this just made my decision to move platforms more difficult..er.
I will help you decide, makita have a cordless coffee maker, enough said 👍
Can you fit a 235mm bladein there?
Great review thanks
@Tools & Stuff Any recommendations on mitre saw stand? Would always be transported around. Would like to go Makita but if have a better recommendations that would be great. Enjoy 🤘
That's something I've never done a comparison on. So I don't know which one is the best I'm afraid.
Is it possible to get blade light to come on when you press trigger
good afternoon will this saw cut vertically 40x80? 35x80?
Will she cut a 40x80 beam while lying with her head piled under 45?
What is the height of the base to the table?
Looks great, buuuuuuuut I dont like the handle. Should have been a horizontal handle/bike handle... ffs makita it could have been perfect... Also, its no surprise its smaller since it has a smaller blade;)
Is this saw why the Kapex price has gone up?
Hey mate, not sure what that detent plate is, but the 18v x2 detent plate is magnetic as there is a thin piece of steel underneath. I hope this one isn't the same.
I've replaced mine with a stainless steel one.
This one is def not Ali, as soon as I opened the box I looked in and thought "Yes! Stainless mitre gauge!"
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL nice, I still want to try order this saw but the 18v 165mm version from japan, do you know how to go about doing so?
ebay.us/DDUE4R Shipping will be a killer
Whoops, I just saw you wrote 18v not 40v
The 18v should be available in Aussie. DLS600
I so badly want this saw.
Have you tried out the 260mm version? I predominantly frame so not being able to cut 90x35 on edge is a bit of a deal-breaker.
Why not lay it flat?
@@andy2231 can't cut studs as quickly or use props to cut large quantities quickly.
In the states.. getting tired of waiting. May purchase from Japan and pay an insane amount 😂
In Reno NV, in a store they already released Xgt models

They said they were getting more stuff within a few weeks
@@bendover1128 can finally order here online. Estimated ship date September
I have a question I can’t get this saw square I put a square against the fence and then put it against the blade when it’s square I tightened the screws but then I if I want to cut the full length of the saw it’s like 2/3mm out I can’t figure it out maybe There is something wrong with the blade or something
Or iam scared it’s the bars but they look straight to me
Well I think I know what’s going on probably the saw is not sqaure to the bars iam going to send it back unfortunately cuz I really like how it works but mine is not accurate not even for framing 😂
Is there an adapter that can hook this up to AC power? This will mostly live on my bench with the odd time I would need only battery power. Thank you!
No.
is there spots for crown mold stops
Can you use 5ah battery to makita ls002 mitre saw?
Yes.
Are you going to review the 260mm XGT mitersaw, or did I miss it?
I've got the 305mm... review eventually.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I presume the 305 is more or less the same as the 260
Pretty much.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL How are you liking the 305? I'm on fence between 216 and 260 for home use, my research says the 260/305 are basically the prior chassis with stainless indent plate and shadow line. The 305 has more substantial wings than 260 but same format. I'm looking for a Festool killer.
Looks like a lot of the improvements to this model are not present on the 10" - at least based on the "coming soon" pictures...
I have the 12" and it is basically the same as the 18v x 2. Just a few small improvements. But size wise, the 10" and 12" are the same as the 18 x2s.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL FYI, I picked up this 8.5" LS002G today. Think I've watched this vid about 5 times in the lead up...
How do you adjust the rails. Mines cutting into the plastic when pulled right out on a left mitre.???
Have you adjusted the kerf plates.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL is that the plate with the stop indents on it??
No dude. Send me a quick vid to my email or Instagram showing what exactly the problem is because I'm not sure we're on the same page. If I can't sort it I'll give you the email of someone who can.
Can you fit a 235mm blade on it?
No.
