NEW Makita tools coming 2022!

What happens here

A side-by-side comparison is made between the Makita LXT 36V (2x18V) Circular Saw and the newer Makita XGT 40V max Circular Saw. The XGT version utilizes a single 40V battery, providing consistent power thanks to its advanced control technology, as demonstrated by cutting three sheets of 3/4 inch plywood in one pass. The cut lines are shown to be clean and precise.

Goal: Demonstrate the efficiency of the Makita XGT 40V max Circular Saw with a single battery.

Tools and materials

  • 3/4 inch Plywood N/A — Material being cut
  • Makita LXT 36V — Comparison cutting
  • Makita XGT 40V max Circular Saw Makita — Primary cutting demonstration

what are we looking at next thunder handles no this is new so this has been out for a couple years now three or four years and this saw is amazing so we now have an xgt version of the same saw so instead of being two batteries to get 36 volts the 36 goal has really been our bread but now it's a single 40 volt battery let's go just take a peek here yeah so one single bar now does that deliver the same amount of power so they're both going to be 40 volts right 36 volts yeah um but that one because of our control technology the control technology and actually maintains a steady state of power and so it delivers more consistent power by going with one battery versus two but that's also the technology of the xct because we've stepped up our intelligence even more coming from what we have in lxd which is very smart technology going up even more to control constant power constant control okay well can we see it in action we're maintaining that consistent power so okay with one battery on this on this tool we can make consistent power cuts all day long all right which we do have the same technology in lxd as well and just with the xct larger battery larger cells okay got it well let's see it in action then right mark yeah let's do it so [Music] nice clean lines yeah [Music] and this is on the brand new
