Looks pretty sick I’m excited for the 7 , 9 inch grinder
Saw looks great.
Loving the subcompact range.
Three piece combo kit was added to the site.

Kind of interesting to see an all black tool bag instead of the normal teal color, but I would have preferred they use a MakPac over a soft case.
Dang, I like that 3 piece kit… looking forward to reading tests on the new saw…
If I didn’t have that brushless 18v full size one I’d be all over it.
Supposedly the compact saw is almost as strong as the normal 18v brushless
OooooOOoooo… The new x2 seven inch grinder was posted to the site this morning. Oi Vay, I am going to go broke buying tools this holiday season.

Not impressed by the soft case tool bag with the kit though.
Were getting the 9 inch version in belgium end of september:) Thursday is test day 😀

They have black MakPacs in Europe in certain kits. Wouldn’t be too big of a stretch if they used them here for the compact kits.
(Also, you can edit quotes and remove pics and misc. text to keep the size down)

No idea ! My rep told me.
Haven’t seen one yet ^^
Yes, I would love to know how much vibration this saw has. If anyone gets their hands on one, please report feedback here ;D
And Makita pulled the 7″ grinder off the US site. WTF Makita….
Innovative..

Thesame vibration as the Djr187. I tried it out today 🙂 lovely machine !
Its thesame machine and performance as the djr187 but then in a compact form.
It looks very compact in that photo.

It is rather compact I’d say
How would that compare to the Dewalt compact recip saw in size , power , and vibration ?
Don’t think anyone on the planet has an answer on that yet 😀

You should see the case that they come in here in Australia lol, it’s huge. I think I’d take the bag

That particular bag in the pic is not that small either, and I dislike lumping all the different parts into one large open container where they just beat on each other when riding down the road in the truck. Also, when quoting large posts, please edit the quote to remove excess items like the pictures and spurious text. It makes it easier to read the thread.
Huge ass case indeed
Any chance you can put two more batteries in that gigantic plastic behemoth?

What is the difference between the 7 and 9 inch other than the guard of course

You certainly can, there is a spot and they slide in. The spacing is bigger for when the new batteries come.

Yes, the 9″ spins at 6000rpm, max rpm on a 9″ disc is 6800rpm. The 7″ spins as 7800 rpm
Does the compact recip saw require two hands to operate properly like a full size? I know I love the hackzalls for the one handed use. Like in that pic, if I had to hold onto the saw with both hands to get good leverage, bye bye Makita, I’ll take the hackzall instead thank you very much. That’s the work I do for a living and that pic is just turning me off ….
Just keeping it real
Today’s new item: One green beam laser…
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/SK209GDZ
(Link no longer works (again))
12v max to boot.
They are expensive as fuck in Belgium :/
I guess Makita is just being a tease… They removed the laser from the US site.
would this laser be Makita’s first?
What about this 36V 10″ miter… it’ll be on display at my local dealer in a few days.

Can’t wait for those to arrive. Massively good saw
Acme Tools shows the saw as in stock for $520…
http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/makita-xsl06z
Not up on the MakitaUSA site yet. Oi vay, I am going to go broke on tools this year…
Makita has added a “Coming Soon” item to the list; One miter saw and stand combo…
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/LS1019LX
They don’t have a separate listing for the WST06 stand on the site yet.
They have also re-added the seven inch grinder to the site along with several other items early this morning…
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/VJ05Z
12v max
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/VJ06Z
12v max
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/RH02Z
12v max
Kit versions of the jigsaws come with MakPacs, and the hammer kit has a molded case.
Two existing x2 tools have been added as four 5ah battery kits (blower and chain saw). These are probably part of the new promo for several items with extra batteries just posted as well on the promo page…
https://www.makitatools.com/promos
And last, but not least, the new ten inch cordless miter has finally made it’s appearance…
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XSL06Z
All of these items have been flagged with a “Coming Soon” banner.
Sort of funny as the miter is already out in the wild, as it were.
Well this just bites me arse… Reading the instruction manual for the new miter saw shows that the model they are giving us here in the states is NOT bluetooth capable. The wireless capable saw would be the XSL04 model, which outside of the instruction manual has no ready available information currently. They were boasting about connectivity for the saw at their show, but now that feels a bit like bait and switch to me.
XSL06 photo
Notice the lack of the Bluetooth switch.
My general excitement for the new tool has just vanished. Meh…
On the up side, I might not go completely broke this year after all.
Is there a cordless 16 ga./ 18 volt nailer on the horizon ??

Somewhere in 2018. Dbn600. If you search for Makita dbn600 you should be able to find the manual already
Hasn’t shown up on the Makita site yet, but Acme Tools has a pre-order page up for the 9″ cordless grinder (XAG13Z1)…
Makita posted a new kit to the site today…
XRH06RBX
Only comment I could think of when I saw it was; It’s not in a MakPac…
And, knowing Makita those accessoires are of doubtfull Quality.
And those batteries are way too small for any serious use

It’s a subcompact rotary hammer.
If you buy it expecting to abuse it like a full size tool, or have it perform like one, you are gonna be disappointed. That’s not what it’s for.
It supposed to be compact and lightweight….
Hence the tiny tool and small batteries.

I am buying one ASAP. That thing would have been awesome for the Tapcons was installing all day.
