What happens here

Following the gas saw, the assistant performs a plunge cut test on the same type of rock using the Makita 40V XGT battery-powered cut-off saw. Similar to the gas saw, the battery saw is connected to a water supply. The battery saw successfully cuts through the dense rock, demonstrating impressive power. The presenter notes that the battery saw feels nearly as powerful as the gas saw during this demanding application, but with less of the 'torsional drift' experienced with gas tools, making it easier to control.

Goal: Test the cutting power of the battery-powered saw on dense rock.

  • Makita XGT 40V max — Cutting the rock

actually I'm surprised all right plunge cut time uh we got a boulder let's put the let's let's try the battery and see how she does if we can't get her to die out plunge cut test coming up he's going to see if he can't kill it in the there you go you finally killed her but that was that other one just right through that was my whole weight of my body on that thing really I'm going to jump in here because what I've discovered is this has what's called aft or active feedback sensing technology and this is actually designed to preserve your saw so if the saw senses that it's binding up or being overexerted it will stop itself so it
