20v…..18v in the uk mitre saw

I am in the market for a cordless chop/mitre saw and have been informed that a 20v / 18v  is currently being trialed on site by Dewalt

Anyone care to take a guess at a release date.

Dave

Im keen to get my hands on one of these too…

 

Glad to hear they are being tested….

Can I ask who has informed you it is being trialled on site??  it always annoys me that loads of people know these things and I cant find any info on any of them!! if the cordless mitre saw is being trialled on site, where? and how come I cant find any pics of it or even any info anywhere?

Because, if it’s trailed on site it usually means it is still under development and people testing those machines usually have to sign a NDA to not talk about it publicly.

We spotted a Dewalt cordless miter in an unrelated promo video over a year ago. Dan pointed it out and posted it on the blog. Within an hour Dewalt took the video down.

What I’d love is a small dewalt or milwaukee mitre/ chop saw. Similar in size to the ryobi one. Just for cutting noggins etc…..

I currently have to lug a generator and ad saw about just to cut a small amount of noggins, have been thinking about getting the ryobi but I’m not that keen on the brand.

Have the ryobi one, was a great novelty until I realized the battery could not keep up with the work.

So much want for a cordless mitre saw..A 110v using a 18v battery when you don’t have mains at hands,just like there New vacuum the DCV582 How would one go about getting to trial tools out?? Worth mailing them??

some have a way of registering interest to test new tools. Bosch were running something not to long ago on there uk website along these lines.

 

I dont know why dewalt would want to hide such tools that are being tested, milwaukee are normally half a year ahead with every tool anyway.

I got plenty of run time one mine with 4.0ah batteries. I cut about 24 2×4’s and probably did 40 or more cuts on the battery and it was only down one bar. Was that back in the Nicad dark ages?

Makita has the best cordless miter its a nice 10″ slider.

I like the idea of corded and cordless capability

Yeah it was nicad. I m hooked on the power of corded miter saw. It’s nice having that power when u really need it.

YEEESSSSS!!

Alright if dewalt comes out with a new one, I maybe tempted to try one. Especially if it ends up in the UTB. probably won’t happen this bag but u never know.

if and when it does come im jumping on it for sure with no hesitation

Makita has had one for a few years. Battery absolutly keeps up.

I look at Makitas and I feel like if they develop a cordless one they should have gone through the effort to make it compact. It looks too big with the fact that it has tons of slide.

Trade off for being able to saw trough 300 mm wide parts of course =D

 

I agree I would rather have bulk and be able to cut any size.

And it’s 13 kilograms and actually quite small in real life.  Hardly “bulky ” 🙂
