Thank you for what you do for everyone, especially down under! Makita fans truly appreciate it.

I know the Makita table saw of the past has been much maligned, but I only have two quips with mine:

1) the lack of rack and pinion, which was understandable given the age of the design, and

2) the combination of having plastic gears with a lack of soft-start, which some have said caused theirs to die prematurely.

But the feature that redeems everything in my mind is the completely tool-free raising and lowering of the riving knife and removal of the blade guard. Brilliant. Easy. Safe. Even against all the rack and pinion designs on the market today I would still choose to repurchase my old Makita for that one reason alone.

I can work with the fence just fine contrary to all the complaining I hear about it, and am seriously thinking to retrofit the circuitry to have soft start in the thing. I really want it to last. I don’t know if this XGT model will also have the tool-free riving knife adjustment, but the diagram doesn’t suggest it will.

12 minutes? LOL, I used my 30 year old Makita of the same size for 4 hours today. If there's one tool that needs a cord, this is it.

All we need now is a mains to 40V (36v) adapter

Not having a cord on a belt sander would be a dream. Im always jumping the cord with the belt

[SnootchieBootchies]

I got the Metabo HPT belt sander recently. I’m glad to hear that Makita didn’t magically manage to get more runtime out of a cordless belt sander. These tools are just power hogs.

A cordless belt sander would be amazing. Nothing worse than having your cable snag on something and marring your workpiece.

Please Makita, make a xgt vehicle jump starter/air compressor!

[riba]

wow a table saw, really? I must say that I really didn't expect it lol

[norkieuppercrusty]

The Makita flipper table saw/chop saw is pretty good, very handy

[nominalvelocity]

Kinda excited for the table saw, that might make me hold off on buying a portable saw

[hermitette]

What will be top of the complaint list now? Improved LXT batteries maybe?

[kevinpunter]

I'll be buying that belt sander!!!

[vinhwang]

cant wait to see the cordless table saw of Makita 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video as always. I really hope that makita some day in the near future will launch a XGT 40V version/ equivalet of their LXT DPO600Z Random Orbital Polisher in a 150mm version or alternatively 125mm since these are the most versatile/ allround dimensions in regards to size and shape of the surface-area that many commonly find themself working on but also in regards to accessibility/ usability in some of the thighter spots. If you have ever happened to try polishing an Audi TT MK2 or something with "similar" surface shape/ geometry using for example the larger 160 - 180mm random orbital polishers you will quickly find that the pad rotation very often immediately stalls on many of the (even slightly) concave surfaces and also despite attempting to apply minimal pressure on the polishingmachine/ pad. Secondly they will often leave much larger unpolished (or unevenly polished) areas like in for ex. corners and other geometric shapes that has any form of border or edge that is "raised" uppward/ outward. The rotational stalling is hovever less of a problem if you have the capability to switch from random free rotation to forced rotation like the LXT DPO600Z has, which from what i can see makes it pretty unique in the marked as far as i can see. However when it comes to the final "mirror finish" or wax/ sealant part of polishing many people prefer to use the random free rotation as this is less agressive/ abrasive on the surface and is also less likely to leave micro swirls in the finish than the orbital forced rotation mode is (even despite the fact that i consider orbital forced rotation to be very gentle and lightyears eaiser to learn and master so that you end up with a good result at the all stages of polishing compared to the old "dreaded" rotary polishing machine or as my friend like to call it "the low speed angle grinder")

Thanks Makita for taking this long right after I buy the Festool table saw!

[oscartrain]

8 1/2 inch table saw is way better as a portable unit than the bigger cumbersome models like the Metabo, which great, but just a total hassle getting into and out of the van and site

[bretteballantine]

What was the mask you were wearing brand etc

[frostfang]

Very excited for the table saw but that looks very very very very similar to the

[EliotTruelove]

Ao stoked for the table saw, it will likely be my first XGT tool
