Every Size of Makita 40v Circular Saw in one MASSIVE REVIEW

[@ThaddeusVilain]

This review is undoubtedly thorough. Really cool to watch....at 1am this morning.... couldn't help it really

[@januszR]

Frohe Weihnachten brother! Thanks for your videos, always havin a good time watching them. Merry kiwi Christmas - including summer, BBQ and beach!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I did all 3 of those things on xmas day. Merry Christmas.

[@Martian74]

I 'saw' the whole saw video and am liking the Makita range. I am currently on Hikoki 18v but Makita are making some innovative 'tools and stuff' lately

[@CTMKD]

Both make amazing tools

[@shaquedelilicss7849]

Don't swap!! I have 40v makita...it's good but not as ergonomic and has no nailguns and some cruciale tools you need... Unless you want to wait and wish that some... day...

[@nelsoncarpentry]

How does the 260mm compare to the 185mm rear handle for ripping? I normally use a blade-right sidewinder (top handle). I want a blade-left for times I need to bevel the opposite way and for ripping. Considering it wouldn't be my main saw, I think the extra depth of cut would be worthwhile for times I need it. It will easily handle 4x4 posts here in Canada. I think I'd go for the 185mm sidewinder for my main saw. The M18 I have will become my beater saw for rough work. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos!

[@Ruudwardt]

I have the same question. Trying to decide between size-speed of cutting-ease of handling and depth of cut. Does the smaller saw have any drawbacks when straight ripping 5 cm timber for example?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

The 185 has a heap more power providing you don't want to cut larger than 2x timber.

[@Ruudwardt]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Interesting. Is it because of more rpm? Or does the smaller saw have more powerful motor? - edit - Based on looks it is the same motor, likely only different gearing, maybe different power management (the pwm controller parameters etc) to give the 185 more rpm.

[@WhatNeverMind21]

any LH blades for the skillys coming up?

[@stavman90]

Would be great to do a comparison between the track saw and the The 40V max XGT Brushless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw with Guide Rail Compatible Base GSH02Z (can’t find outside USA). I wonder if it’s a legitimate competitor for mixed track and skill use.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Won't be long

[@jayt2266]

Is Makita aware of the blade guard catching during cuts? That seems like an accident waiting to happen. Any way to fix the issue?

[@markhedquist9597]

Thanks for the overview. Merry Christmas, Tools!

[@markhedquist9597]

Do you think the 10 1/4' would do well turned upside down in a shop built portable tablesaw? I've got the 18x2 7 1/4" that I was planning on doing that with, but now this XGT beast looks like the better option. Thoughts?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

The 7 is more powerful and less likely to stall. But the 10 will give you greater capacity... tricky one...

[@markhedquist9597]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Ya. I wondered about that. I'm leaning toward the 7 1/4 still. For a tiny, portable/cordless tablesaw. Then, still have my Dewalt corded job site tablesaw for any heavier duty ripping. I'll say that, for now... Thanks for the input!

[@markhedquist9597]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL And, also, I'm sure you've seen the Makita combo miter/table saw contraption. I think they call it "the flipper"? Any interest? The machining on the aluminum tables is really cool looking! On the miter saw side it's all concentric circley. Circlie? Circle like. I think it's rather expensive like, too.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yeah I've seen them. I won't be reviewing it, too old now... unless they release a 40v...

[@mikebythesea45]

I have two Xsr01 , the 36v 7.5” rear handle saws. Both are horrible ripping, the blade is not square to the frame and cut crooked. I sent one back to Makita for warranty but it came back the same crooked cut. I can’t find any adjustments. Suggestions? Get the new 40v?

[@jumb0juice327]

Looking to upgrade my dhs680z. J think the rearhandle 7 1/4" will be perfect

[@sambrose1]

I want to see the RS001 vs RS002 in a heads up pic in pic rip like you do. On some 100mm. Is the bigger blade going 4000 faster than the smaller blade turning 6400!

[@michaelplays2449]

Good review , thanks !!!

[@OUTILSCLIPSQC]

Nice video about makita saw my favourite the black xgt 40v

[@simoncassin6848]

What is the difference between HS005G, HS006G and HS007G? Do they all have the detachable base section? I cant find info that the HS007G does. Can you provide a link to a HS006G model in Black? And any details when the drill like 40V blower will be available to purchase. I'm in Aus. Thanks

[@craiguddstromcarpentry7605]

Merry Christmas, thanks for the great tool reviews, especially Makita. 👍

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Cheers.

[@jackskalski3699]

Love the video, and the channel TBH, but where do you live with such a nice view at the beginning :) New Zealand ? Scratch that I can see it's NZ :)

[@kip8790]

I agree with so much of what you’ve said. I’ve wanted a smaller blade saw for a while, I use the 18v as my go to saw, and break out the rear handle for the ripping. I use mine with a prazi chainsaw attachment for beams and man that’s sketchy 😅

[@drysicle]

would really love a 6 1/2 blade left saw

[@vicchippie]

id love for them to bring out a left side blade 185mm circ i'd buy it instantly. I've grown fond of the left side on my 165mm saw and it's my preferred side

[@bman154]

Do you think you could squeeze the 270mm blade on the 10 1/4 saw?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Don't think I've ever seen a 270mm blade...? But I will have a look tomorrow if I remember.

[@bman154]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I know at least in aus you can buy a makita 270mm (10 5/8) corded circ saw, 101mm cut depth... be pretty sweet.

[@johnskylark1527]

I'm in Poland and a rear handle is kinda awkward, but then again I always set up my cutting station so I can get both hands on my saw, when it comes to roofing I use my small 150mm or a recip saw ;)

[@jamallaidley4718]

Wow I have the 7 1/4 rear handle it's great

[@wearetheremnants1615]

I've got the 10 1/4 the only thing I didn't think about when buying is the blades are pricey £45

[@wolfgangselle3272]

@TOOL & STUFF u used both of them and I hope u have time to answer my question … which saw would u buy or prefer? The 5” or the 6 1/2”? I’m asking because I’m on the fence to buy one of them my “older “ 61/2” is done and I need to replace this saw. And I want buy into the new 40V system because I also want to buy the big 101/4” that’s why I want also buy a new “ smaller “ one ..

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

If I didn't want to cut out flooring or similar then I would go for the 6. I think a 6 and the 10 is probably the best combination. 👌

[@wolfgangselle3272]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL thx that u had time to answer .. ok I will get then a 6 1/2” saw .. this makes it also bit easier with getting the saw blades … 6 1/2” u can get here ( Canada ) everywhere. With the 5” it’s not so easy. On Amazon USA is just one model otherwise I needed to buy them from Japan.

[@mounty8807]

Merry christmas, happy fest times, Mate. Keep the vids coming, ja? Waiting for Makita to make a noise cancelling head-set, with adjustments for the different frequencies. i.e circ saw/trimmer/lawn mower etc. They all seem to have a 'sweet spot' what the noise/sound changes.

[@isaiahii6982]

@44:50 Blade is in backwards :D

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It's a demonstration blade with the printing on one side. So it is that way for visual purposes. It is never used like that for cutting.

[@OUTILSCLIPSQC]

Would be great a video with top 3 brand rear handle circular saw ripping before cutout dewalt 60v makita 40v and milwaukee18v to see if one cannot keep up when doing heavy rip for couple minute

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It's in the planning. I'm just awaiting the release of the Hikoi/Metabo HPT.

[@liamm9400]

Hey Tools, another great video. I took the plunge and sold all my 18v stuff and bought the 40v kit. Im looking to expand with a circular saw. I’m in oz and the 165s aren’t available (online too pricey ie $200 more than 185mm) Q: Is it worth waiting for the 165 or just grab the 185mm? Given they have same depth of cut, is there any benefits for going with the bigger saw? Cheers

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

You could be waiting a while for the 165 in Oz so I would grab the 185. If you have the hs004 in Australia then grab that as it has a groove for the guide rail.

[@liamm9400]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL cheers mate. The 185mm does look pretty good and maybe I’ll just grab one of those 125mm down the track cis they look pretty handy

[@rcud1]

Would you recommend the 185mm Rear handle over the standard top handle saw? I'm sure cross cuts easier with the top handle - as you noted.

[@Мафик-ь5й]

У меня Makita Drs780 (Lxt) Доволен, делает до 30 м реза на 2×5Ah. Для каркасного строительства лучше пилы с левым диском и задней ручкой, на крыши Обязательно аккумуляторные, чтобы не путаться в проводах. Для точных плотницких и столярных работ лучше купить погружную с шиной - она у вас окупится на 3 кубометрах необрезной доски)

[@129tufei]

May I ask some circular saw questions? What's the different between HS001GZ and HS002GZ? What's the different between HS and RS? Thanks mate!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

HS002G has AWS whereas HS001G does not. HS are top handle Circ Saws, RS are rear handle.

[@129tufei]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL thanks a lot mate!

[@fletcha7777]

@tools & stuff I have a question and you've never gave me bad advice before on buying Makita stuff, Makita in the US is raising their prices in about 33 hours. And what would you purchase for just normal use which 40 volt circular saw do you think is the best buy for the money? I would really appreciate your feedback to make a decision.. thanks 😁

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Depends what's available. Personally I use the 6.5" the most but it's not available in the states. I then use the large rail saw the most. But for a good all round saw that will do most tasks without being too big or small, I would go for the GSH02 track compatible 7.25"

[@souldigits_9545]

Can't you make a floor cut with a makita plunge saw and the blade cover removed ?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Not really because it only has a 1° Reverse bevel so the blade nut will rub on walls, skirtings, etc.

[@slasher9883]

Epic video! Should I feel bad that I am still using a circular saw with a cable attached? I might wait until I bite the bullet on 40v before I buy a cordless saw.

[@reaperreaper5098]

Not really. Corded saws are still very good, and one category of tools I wouldn’t outright replace with cordless just yet. I keep a corded Ridgid for the times that my rear handle Milwaukee or Makita can’t cut the mustard, which isn’t that often, but still happens.

[@chadhamilton88]

I love that 5,in saw I would love to get that for metabo Hpt they don't make it here

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

You can still get an Metabo HPT (HIKOKI) one from Japan. There will be links to get them on my review of that saw.

[@daveyboudewijn4328]

Does anyone think makita will make a 40v version of the 9 1/4” circ saw? I really want that

[@joshryan2478]

It’s built for 3-1/2” USA material not bodgy NZ rough

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Well they make a bigger one now so I don't care anymore.

did makita 40v have wet saw ?

Not yet in 40v, just 12v and 18v.

[@OleoKoong]

I just turn my hs004 to wet saw

[@nelsoncarpentry]

Thanks for all the great Makita content! 👍🏻 Just a slight error at the 30 minute mark. A 190mm blade won’t get you an extra 2.5mm over a 185mm blade if you’re cutting at a 45.

[@kevingalicia7872]

Do u think well be getting a wet saw anytime soon 😊
