The new Makita XSH03Z brushless cordless circ saw came in today. I think it was swaglo that posted his so I blame him since I had been wanting one as well, I think we even got it from the same place! Looking forward to putting this guy into the rotation. It’s a great time to be a tool junkie fellas![External image (images.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

It’s funny you say that because I think I’m going to buy one of the Dewalt cordless miter saws too!

Great looking saw! Probably tops right now in cordless saws.

Can anyone tell me if the arbor in the States is different to here in Europe. I was gonna order some diablo blades for my saw but they all say 5/8 arbor which is about 15.4mm by my calculations but my saw says it has a 20mm arbor.

Okay, it’s probably not how it is meant to be done, and has probably some kind of safety issues if not done properly.

But I actually had to enlarge the arbor size on my last saw-blade with a step drill bit. Worked / fitted beautiful, and it runs without any vibrations.

It is different. You could use a 20mm blade on a 5/8″ arbor if you use a reducer bushing, but not the other way around.

Shame, means I’ve gotta stick to the Makita specialized blades. Being really wanting to try out diablos
