I’m heavfully invested in 18v makita tools. I’ve read favorable reviews on Makita’s track saw and was wondering, has anybody heard news of Makita coming out with a cordless version?

Thanks

Not heard anything of one. I’d imagine they’ll be looking at a higher capacity battery release first and it might be something on the 18×2 line up.

Makita has made adapters that allow for a cordless track saw. The model # is Makita 196953-0: a guide rail adapter that fits the 6-1/2″ 18v brushless circular saw. Slap a 40T blade on the saw, and you have a rudimentary cordless track saw. I’m sure they will make an adapter for the new XSR01 18v X2 cordless worm drive coming out soon.

Makita is working on one. We’re hoping for a release this year. 16gauge Brad nailer also in the works.

Next year will bring the 9 inch grinder and SDS Max cordless 🙂
