Full throttle! Makita 80V Chopsaw VS GAS!

What happens here

The assistant performs a continuous cutting test on multiple stacked concrete blocks with the battery-powered Makita 40V XGT cut-off saw. The goal is to see how many cuts can be made and how the battery holds up under sustained load. The saw continues cutting until the external water supply runs out, completing approximately 21 cuts. Despite the extensive cutting, the battery indicator on the saw still shows a full charge, demonstrating impressive efficiency and runtime.

Goal: Assess battery runtime and cutting capacity under continuous load on concrete.

Tools and materials

  • Diamond Cut-Off Blade Makita — Attached to the saw for cutting concrete
  • Makita XGT 40V Batteries Makita — Powering the saw
  • Makita XGT 40V max — Continuous cutting of concrete blocks
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during cutting
  • Water Supply System Makita — Providing water for wet cutting
  • Concrete Blocks — Material to be cut

yeah we haven't dented those batteries [Music] yet so for power alone this battery powered chop saw just was very impressive it did everything that the gas powered saw could do with no problem but one of the things we've noticed is that battery tends to die out pretty fast in high torque applications so what we decided to do next is just put this saw up against the block and start making as many slivers as we possibly could until either the saw went out or we gave up so let's find out how this next part [Music] goes [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
