Makita launches 40VMAX LS004G XGT slide compound mitre saw

For October 2021, leading power tool manufacturer, Makita UK, has added a number of new 40VMax cordless machines  to its exciting XGT range. The new high-powered products provide a one-battery solution to handle the most demanding jobs and environments, without sacrificing run time.

Driven by a 40VMax brushless motor, this XGT 260mm slide compound mitre saw provides a no-load speed of up to 3,600rpm for high power cutting, which is comparable to corded machines.

The rail-forward design allows users to maximise workspace as the machine can be positioned next to a wall and its single sliding system allows smooth operation in order to produce superior cuts. Its 48° bevel range and 60° mitre range are easily adjusted with a quick lock and release, making it simple to achieve the cut required.

This impressive machine is also packed with safety features including Auto-Start Wireless System technology (AWS), allowing the user to connect the mitre saw to compatible dust extractors via Bluetooth. When applied, the dust extractor is powered on and off while the saw is in use. An LED light improves task visibility, and for greater safety, an electric brake stops the blade in seconds.

On the announcement, Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, said: “We designed our XGT platform to provide professionals with even more power to meet high demand applications with ease. All of our XGT solutions are engineered with built-in programming, which provides digital communication between the battery and tool, so that both work together for optimum performance and sustained power. We're pleased to expand the XGT range with our latest 40VMax and 80VMax equipment and tools, so that professionals can fully experience a truly cordless job site.”
