Anyone seen this on toolguyd ?
Yeah looks sweet if you are into wood AND Metabo. Those two rarely coincide.
It looks nice and has a several benefits over the Dewalt Flexvolt table saw, at least to me. A 10″ blade, built in stand, two miter slots, and dust extraction. It doesn’t mention dado support in the article, I would expect a 10″ saw to be capable of using at least a small stack. However, I think Metabo also made one of the same mistakes as Dewalt, they didn’t include any way to plug it in. I want a cordless table saw that runs on batteries when I don’t have power, and run off an extension cord when I do. I think that would get people to consider cordless table saws more seriously. If you’re invested in Metabo cordless tools already then this makes sense, but like Stuart said for the price you expect something more. He mentions some form of safety system like SawStop, but I’d settle for being able to plug it in.
I thought it was just x2 in general? It could be any combination of two 36v or 18v Metabo batteries.
