The Makita 18V Cordless Drywall Cut Out Saw is the “better way” to cut drywall dust free. I swear this thing is 10X faster than using a multi-tool and it’s super easy to operate both vertically on a wall and more importantly horizontally along a ceiling. The cutter has a short ¼” stroke length with an adjustable blade depth up to 1-3/16″ The Makita 18V Cordless Cut Out Saw has a clear dust box that will hold a small amount of dust before needing emptying. This is useful for fast quick cuts where you don’t want to set up or have a vacuum handy. A swivel dust port is attached to the clear dust box. When connected to a vacuum this saw produces almost nil for dust. So did we get it right – mostly yes. Here’s what we found;: The dust cover is easily lost and we resorted to taping it to the tool – but eventually it got lost. The clear plastic dust shroud comes loose at times. The blades are phenomenal for drywall but old-school hybrid gypsum/plaster from the 1950s destroys the blade. That’s my biggest complaint. If I’m only cutting drywall, and don’t hit a lot of screws, the blade will last a month. If I use it on hybrid plaster – it’s a one and done deal. That stinks. So if dust doesn’t matter then I resort to a recip saw with a carbide blade. BTW - The hybrid plaster is a common in my area and represents a transitional stage between traditional wood lath and plaster to modern drywall techniques. We see it a lot. We’d like to see a carbide blade for this tool. Overall still a great tool and one that makes us more professional – and in case you were wondering… I highly recommend it! Makita 6-1/2” Track Saw Four years ago we tested this saw and commented that it had a super smooth plunge and powerful motor allowing it to cut, as smooth as the saw slides on its track. We were extremely impressed with the ease of use, and solid design, and great price. We told you back then that this saw is purchase you can be sure of, it is a quality track saw with plenty of power to get the job done. We also said that there was not a lot to dislike about this saw. We mentioned that we’d like to see this saw updated with a riving knife. Currently Makita offers no real kick back mitigation, besides the track guidance. The depth of cut scale is in metric, Imperial measurements would be a welcomed addition. Lastly, I was also bummed out that my MAKITA VC4710 HEPA vacuum hose did not fit the track saws dust port. The vac hose inside diameter is 1-1/2″ and the tracks dust port outside diameter is 1-3/4″. I had to us a Dewalt adapter to get it to work. So, did we get it right the first time? Hell yea we did! This saw has held up well in remodeling work? Nothing’s changed, we’d still recommend purchasing this saw today. In fact have you seen out cordless Track Saw Head-2-Head? If you haven’t go check it out. This saw performed admirably. Makita Compact Cordless Router If you’ve been a carpenter for at least 20 years you know that MAKITA’s lineage is with the carpenter and woodworker. To prove this just think back to your first miter saw, table saw or slide pack drill and I’d bet it was a MAKITA for most of you. This router is geared toward the Pro carpenter. These days, so many people are using compact routers do the lion share of their routing applications. The exciting thing about this new cordless router, besides being cordless, is that is a mirror image to the corded 1-1/4 HP Compact Router. That means that all the expensive accessories, like plunge bases, tilt bases, guides and dust shrouds, that guys already own, will FIT the cordless router. Not only is it a similar looking router but it will provide you with similar performance to its corded version. That’s not only smart, but a nice thing to do. Clearly Makita is thinking about its tool users, and making the transition to go cordless more cost-effective and cheaper. I want to stress that this accessory compatibility is an awesome feature and one that will save you money and, as MAKITA hopes, will help the transferring to cordless less painful. Router Base Adjustment So – did we get it right? Yep There is nothing negative too say about this router, it does exactly what it says it will do, and does it well. The Makita XRH08Z 18V X2 Rotary Hammer has a permanent place in our tool trailer. Why? This 1-1/8” AVT Rotary Hammer is a cordless concrete solution that’s loaded with advanced engineering and efficiency - but mostly we LOVE that its cordless, and its size and weight. Two nice features are the electric brake that allows the tool to reposition faster and the variable speed dial and trigger for better control and starting. 1T-I6v2XDAY |
