Makita Dual Battery Brushless Miter Saw

First launched in Japan and Australia, Makita released a 36-volt 7 1/2-inch compound sliding miter saw powered by two 18-volt batteries. David Frane, Tools of the Trade Editor at large, got a quick look at one of these machines at a Makita media event earlier this summer. He agreed not to disclose information until it was officially announced, and that time has now come.
