- The Makita 40-Volt XGT line has been impressive and we had some very high hopes for the power output of the XGT Rear Handle Circular Saw. As you will see in this video, the saw did not disappoint. In fact, the saw went much further than expected!

Makita is an engineering company that prides itself on purpose-built motors for each tool. This 40V XGT Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4" Circular Saw has a Makita-built brushless motor that is smooth and quiet. The Rear Handle saw has a no load RPM of 6,400 RPM, a 90-degree depth of cut of 2-9/16", and a 53-degree bevel capacity with positive stops at 22.5-degrees and 45-degrees.
Beyond that, the saw is built well with a die-cast magnesium base. Makita advertises an Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) with this saw. That means the saw was built with a series of integrated seals designed to improve a tool's operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.
Makita XGT batteries are not backward compatible with Makita 18-volt batteries. This is a line of its own.

It's been refreshing to see makita back in the well deserved spotlight. Seems since Milwaukees recent success in the last 3 to 5 years makita took a third row seat. I am glad you're not sleeping on them. I really enjoy you're show and appreciate you're professional opinion far more than others out there. Keep them coming!
Right on
Well said! 👍
I'd have Makita anything over Milwaukee.
@@interman7715 well on all the tests Milwaukee outperforms.
@@JohnSmith-xq6cv oh really? which Milwaukee tool out performs this saw?
This is no doubt a sweet saw! Great test and review, Brian! I have both the 36 volt version of this saw, as well as the 7&1/4 sidewinder (XSH06) love my 36 volt, but scratch my head as to why Makita could NOT figure out where to make a place to store the wrench? Silly! The loose pin mount seems to be a Makita thing. I have this issue on a couple saws, inc. the XSH06, but not the XSR01 36 volt rear handle. I really like how you test saws and run them through various wood depths and materials. @06:28 You acknowledged your cut was off. Of course, cutting through ‘expensive wood’ on a job, trying to follow a line would dictate slower feed speeds. This saw was very impressive how it performed. The thing about Makita saws is the smoothness. This translates to better cuts, and less fatigue at the end of the day. Appreciate your efforts Brian! 👏🏻👍👍👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
for people who say the testing isnt realistic i believe it is, doing 24x24 garage packages its really common to need to get stacks of OSB in half length wise for the roofing and width wise for the walls and its efficient to gang cut them as many as possible right through a whole stack as many as are needed at once rather than setting up marking and cutting each piece as its needed, once youve built 3 or 4 of the same bundle you know what cuts need to be made and can basically make all your lumber cuts off the hop and law the saw down for the rest of the day
I would love to see a showdown between the big 3 brands top tier rear handled 7 1/4" circular saws, that would be a good match
You always do such perfect in depth first look videos. Very impressive. Thanks for the footage 👣 and keep up the great work!
@15:40 "I like you Mary...kita. I like you a lot!"
Great review. Look forward to the side-by-side comparo's.
Love the channel. Great review and Makita makes great tools. The Makita rear handle 36v is a great saw and second best and this saw looks even better.
But as a framer running 3 frame crews , nothing still beats flexvolt tools except the sawzall is not the best. Milwaukee is not even a contender in the building world. Great for plumbers, hvac and homeowners.
The dewalt rear handle is completely unmatched still . Same for the circular saw, grinder , mitre saw and table saw..
My boss (company) is exactly the same . Runs 4 crews all on flex volt, well dewalt more specifically because all saws are 60v but not all tools are 60…. I think you’re right for the most part about dewalt being on top especially for framing, but that’s IF you’re going to be consistent with 1 platform. Really though, I think that all comes down to the saw because that and the angle grinder are the only tools a league above. The rest of the tools fall anywhere between worst and best. Dewalt Sawzall is good, flex is better, drill is really good flex is better, the impacts suck and all brands are better, battery nailer is straight shit, ;metabo is light years better, and the chainsaw is the best, blower also the best. Although I’d be interested to them against ego but I have no personal experience. I own and use those flex tools along side the dewalt equivalent on the daily just incase you think I’m spewing bs found in reviews and not actually out there banging it out every day. Today me and two others finished facia and sheeted the roof, I rolled trusses and built and sheeted the lower roof for whatever that’s worth; figured you’d like to know that we’re on the same page since a lot of guys “frame” but not In the same sense as us framers who do new construction. You can get away with Milwaukee if you’re framing in a new kitchen for an old remodel or whatever, but that’s shits not going to fly when knee deep in snow and out of breath from rolling 20ft beam only to find out your saw can’t make the cut because a tiny bit of pressure on the blade. Tgat being said I just picked this 40v saw up last Friday after my dewalt got jacked a couple weeks ago. And it is for sure on par and just as capable the dewalt. There MIGHT be just a little less power and that’s s big might because I’m basing that off things like sound and vibration rather than performance. Like the makita does sound like it Boggs down easier in stressful situations than the dewalt however it can bog down much lower. You start bogging down the dewalt and you’re about 90% there to it cutting out unless you ease up. You bog down the makita and you’re about 70%. Take a common bind situation like stack cutting a bowed bunk of sheets. It might sound like the dewalt handled it a little bit easier but the performance and outcome would be the same. If I didn’t have to adjust for the bind to make the cut with the dewalt the makita wouldn’t needed adjustment either and time would have been same, if not in favor of the makita because that thing cuts noticeably better. On the flip, let’s say I’m using my square as a guide just straight slamming into stacked joists cutting blocks the DeWalt MIGHT go through just a cunty hair faster, but that might be in my head. It’s like a max superframer vs an nr83 A2-5. I’ve got both an a5 and max and can’t pick a favorite. boss provides metabos, but a few others run their max as well. Some guys will say the hitachi is built better?and it’s like… is it? Maybe sometimes……. But kinda not really though. Maybe feels like it but Ill smash them into a wall equally as hard. The metabo mighgt sink nails just a little bit deeper doing super high toenails through lvl rolling rim, but I can maybe shoot a wall down faster with the max , however neither of those situations influence which gun I’m grabbing for the day or picking up for the task. I’m picking based on how bored I am with one or the other. Long story short the 40v is every bit as capable neither better or worse. The Milwaukee sucks really really bad
Just about everyone I know and even everyone I don't know but work around use only Milwaukee. That includes framers, roofers, remodelers, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC. The only person I know professionally that's doesn't use Milwaukee is me. I think it's kinda home turf sort of thing around here.
The battery is cooler due to it being 40volt. This is why DeWalt went with 60 volt. Power equals VxI or I**2xR and keeping the current down is critical for a fixed resistance. Weight of copper is kept to a minimum but that increases resistance.. so the designers prefer higher voltages. The XGT is simply a beast especially for framing carpenters. The 18X2 is pro-sumer that probably wouldn't use the saw like you did, but this is professional saw. Finally battery powered equipment is so close to being on par with corded saw counterparts that usability without a power cord is the winning advantage. Delrin on the pin would have been better choice. The shoe shouldn't have play in it. That would annoy anyone. Weird for Makita not to be tight on tolerances.
On their cordless saws, they'll have ones that lock on the front and back and ones that lock only in the front. The latter always has play. I imported the 165mm and 125mm saws and thankfully they're both as rock solid as Mafell and Festool. My 7-1/4" sidewinder is not the Festool/Makita guide rail version and so it does the same thing as the rear handle, unfortunately.
Dewalt led the way with higher voltage Flexvolt batteries and backwards compatibility to 18/20 XR line .I think Makita blew it by not making 40 volt battery compatible to 18 volt line and may alienate customers. Milwaukee will have to up their game ,their 18 volt line is overworked on high draw tools imo.
@@interman7715 I’d argue that it’s all relative. I know from experience that you got to buy new batteries or ones you don’t want to use on all of your tools anyway with most of the brands. Hitachi, you still need to buy new batteries (it’s nice that those new batteries work across the line, though). Additionally, a lot of their kits still come with 18v batteries, so those typical gateway products aren’t gateways at all. I’ve ended up with some 36v HiTabo HPV because the 36v kits are cheaper than piecemeal and my nailers shipped with a crappier charger and a 1 crappy single row pack each. Milwaukee, Bosch and Metabo all have released incremental available current increases to their battery lineups and plenty of their products don’t perform at their best unless you upgrade. I’ve been there with Bosch and Metabo, replacing my 18v batteries because the new whatever needs 20700 and then 21700. My friend is there with Milwaukee. A different 18v battery for every 18v tool I reckon. Dewalt, the Flexvolt may work on your 18v tools. But if there’s no advantage (other than run time), most people are not going to be putting it on smaller tools. A lot of people on LXT are bitching about XGT and I just don’t get it. If they’re so in tune with Makita, they’d see me waiting forever for Makita to drip feed XGT while they just dump shitloads of new LXT tools on the market. That’s my complaint. Coming from LXT where everything is on the same battery. The small 12v stuff to 36v via x2. It all runs on the same 18650 battery packs. The catalog is deeeep. It got me spoiled quick and XGT is: drip drip drip. Which means I can’t have everything in one battery anymore. Because the depth of LXT just isn’t available in 40v. The LXT folk who haven’t bought into XGT have nothing to complain about. Don’t take me for a Makita fanboy, however. I’m just detailing my experience. I like the breadth of the Milwaukee lineup (18v and 12v combined), I like that you don’t have to switch brands to get good nailers, I appreciate all of the additional plumbing, electrical and utilities tools they have in their stable…etcetera.
I’ve got the 36v and like it. I’ll go back and check the play on the pin …
I liked the 36-volt also! Mine does not have the play in the rear pin like the new model.
@@WorkshopAddict cool. I’ll check mine … I agree; doesn’t make much difference.
Thanks for the review ,I honestly thought it would have had more power . Makita makes excellent tools .
I think you have to see it next to another saw to show the power. IMHO, the 80 volt will be the power monster.
Just bought one your review was excellent thanks
Always liked Makita they make very good tools
Great review. Keep in mind also that the Makita cuts deeper than the Red and Yellow saws do, and at 2-9/16 will confidently cut 2.5” (3X) material like Engineered wood products where the others will not. This to me is a significant advantage of the Teal saw on a framing job, especially for cutting I-joists with 2x3 chords.
I have both saws and mine do not cut all the through rafters on max bevel. Irritating
Nice shirt, low key pro 2A👍 fellow Michigan guy, cost bought one of these Makita XGT saws, its my first Makita saw, I’m excited.
Not like makita tools but glad to see this saw on your chanel
Makita saw arrived today - looks like it is everything you say it is. Great video.
14:05 the movement is to dissipate/obsorb vibration, much like what Makita did to their impact drivers. Brilliant idea!
Come on man. You know we're all looking for the 10-1/4!
I'm waiting for one that can rip a 6x6. But a recip works for now
We appreciate ur hard work making these videos ur probably the best tool review out there and entertaining thanks
Thanks for watching
I turned my corded Makita barrel saw into a landscape block saw, so I need a new saw. I love the Skil 20v cordless tools, and I'm torn between the two.
Makita 40v vs flexvolt rear handle for the throne!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
This being more expensive why does this one not come with LED light, AWS and overload LED indicator similar to the XGT HS003?
very nice except I don't like left-handed circ saws....but that's a preference thing.
I have the X2 model. I will never work it that hard!
When will battle with other rear handle Milwaukee and Dewalt???
I need to gather lumber and make the time. Hope soon.
@@WorkshopAddict i got some lumber for you
Thank you for your awesomeness. Love the honesty.
new tool from makita new power 👍👌
Wow, that thing is a beast!
Would the Milwaukee or Dewalt put up those full depth cuts in the OSB? Well, try them and find oud. It would be a good next video.
From experience with them, I believe they would once, but not over and over.
Mate I have the Flexvolt 575 blade right saw and it is unbelievably powerful.
My problem with this system is by doubling the voltage to 36, they've cut the runtime in half. So to make this viable you need to be able to get the work done in half the time.
Yes, and no. So the norm for the 36 volt saw was two 5 amp hour batteries. This has better cells, so you have 36 volts at 4Ah rather than 36 volts at 5Ah. Not much difference there.
@@WorkshopAddict yes but if it was an 18 volt, that same battery would be 8 amp hours. Are you really getting twice as much power? That's my issue.
@@tooltipswithtommy 100% get that, but... I do not think you will get the same performance with the 2x18. I will see if I can come up with something to show that.
I have the bosch 7 1/4 profactor saw, I'm going to see how it performs on a stack of osb. I'll use an 18 volt, 8 amp hour battery, Fair comparison.
I just wish osb wasn't so damn expensive. 🙂🙂
good saw. 40 volt great idea i remember 36 volt was always 2 batteries might be cumbersome use then charge with a two Bay charger hopefully simultaneously charging it's personal taste i guess.
Great video much appreciate you spending a mortgage payment for the wood;)
It will make great kindling while camping. LOL
Smooth Deep King
Buen día, gracias por compartir tu ideología, como cuanto cuesta esta herramienta y 1 beteria adicional para reserva...?
impressive testing, impressive saw, my milwuakee fuel gen 1 would not do this i regret not waiting for the milwuakee rear handle, i think my saw is faulty it overheats with minimal use and cuts out really easily even with 12.0 battery, it wouldnt have made 1 of those full depth cuts
its getting worse i did about a dozen cross cuts 45's on some 2x6 the other day and it was complaining and cutting out even going slow and steady
Brake doesn’t seem as quick as many other cordless saws. But still miles ahead of 120v tools.
Not sure why they don't have an LED light at the cut. They have it with most of their other saws and drills/drivers.
But does it have an LED light on it, unlike most other Maks DO NOT?!...
What is the advantages of a rear handle vs overhead ones?
Better balanced in my opinion
I really want to see some reviews on the new Ryobi 40v 730cfm blower.
What size of battery will this hold can your fit the new 5 amp or 8 amp 40v battery on it?
Dewalt still has the best battery platforms/Charger. 12v/20v/60v all on one charger is convenient as hell.
They need to start making more tools tho
@@brettwalkom948 absolutely. Take a page from Makita. Where is the kick ass 60v impact wrench?
I chose Dewalt cordless tools a few years ago and couldn't be happier , Flexvolt ,strongest saws imo and lightweight and I can inter change Flexvolt batteries onto my XR gear, win win .
@@dmacl123 yeah they have so much potential but they seem to have kinda given up on making new stuff
@@brettwalkom948 the difference between dewalt and Milwaukee is that Dewalt puts much more R and D into tools, before releasing them. Flexvolt tools still lead all others and they’ve been out 5 yrs and the batteries work on 20v tools..
Milwaukee releases new tools every year and the next year is gen 2 then gen 3 and many of the tools aren’t good until gen 2 or 3… Dewalt does it right the first time.
Great saw
36v vs 40v? I feel like they are likely the same saw with one battery input
Have you ever tried their 18 V robot vacuum?
Not yet
@@WorkshopAddict it is great
I'd put the DeWalt Flexvolt rear handle up against any cordless circular saw. I have NO doubt that it is the best in the class. I have the rear handle Milwaukee and 2 DeWalt rear handle saws. The DeWalt blows the Milwaukee out of the water in just about every way.
makita is more balanced than Dewalt, Dewalts pulls
Did you trade the Mustang?
You have to try the dewalt 12v saw man that's a sweet little saw, I don't even want to touch my bigger saws now
Why haven't you tested the Skilsaw truehvl? 🤔
I am a bit frustrated with the BS marketing skilsaw and flex do.
Make a battle milwaukee vs dewalt vs makita 😁😁😁😁😁
good saw but i’m still thinking the Dewalt 60 v it’s better and powerful
В России её не сертифицировали, не продаётся, а жаль очень крутая, спасибо за обзор)
Que sierras tienen allá?
👍🏻🍻🍺🍕
left blade saws forever
I love my makita. I know guys that are dead set on Milwaukee. I think those saws just feel like crap and sound like crap.
Totally agree. I have the Milwaukee sidewinder M18 7-1/4 and also this Makita saw. The Milwaukee sounds like the blade is dragging on the brake. Is that normal? The Makita saw sounds glorious, in contrast.
Not good run time.
that looks like a skill saw.
That's the point.
