Quote from Caleo :
That's a subjective question. Simply put: both are great saws. I like the M18 because of its riving knife and only needing 1 battery. Its ergonomics are also a little better with a lock for blade changes & easier to use depth stop. In contrast, the Makita ultimately has a little more power with its 2x18V battery configuration.

Honestly the M18's not quite as light as I thought it'd be - it's actually heavier as a bare tool. It's really only lighter with the CP 3.0 HO battery (which it will run on) - with a 6.0 HO it's about the same weight as the Makita with 2x 5AH batteries.
Any info on how these run with Forges? I was lucky enough to score 2x 6ah Forges for $150 total (discount + won a home Depot raffle and got a second free). I've yet to try them, though I wonder how much or forge is just hype.

No idea, but almost certainly not worth it @ their normal price over a 6.0 HO

Rip 8x4 3/4 ply about once a week and have never had it bog down and always get through in one pass on the factory blade. You're doing something wrong.
3/4 ply is nothing, 2" of hardwood on the other hand….

I'd believe him, considering most reviews have the Milwaukee performing underpowered compared to makita/festool

Yeah sure I agree, however I was responding to the guy talking about the saw bogging down and having to make 3 passes on 4x8 sheets. Seriously doubt he's referring to 4x8 sheets of 2" hardwood.

Actually you quoted the guy talking about 8/4 lumber, which is around 2". Quarter measurements is how lumber yards list their stock.

If someone says that they'd rather use a table saw in place of setting a track saw up ahead never used a Tracksaw!
I do like my tracksaw but I'll always use my tablesaw first if it's an option for ripping. I'll never have to worry about my cut being parallel or the right size and it's just a matter of setting the fence. But yeah, if I can't for some reason, the track saw is pretty great.

It's nice to rough out sheet goods, but you can't beat a tablesaw for accuracy.

From a cut repeatability standpoint? Sure... but track saws can make precise/finish-grade cuts for cabinets/fine furniture without blowout even in things like thin-veneer hardwood plywood. Great for cabinetry. You can improve cut repeatability on track saws with a table/backstop setup like a Festool MFT. Bonus points for reduced likelihood of finger removal.

On a table saw (all but the biggest/best/most expensive), finish-grade 30"+ wide cuts off a full 3/4" 4x8ft sheet of plywood can be sketchy if not impossible, especially without someone to help. Takes a lot of surrounding space to move around for that cut on a table saw, too.

Laser straight deck board ends (bevel for fancy factor), trimming doors, etc. - track saws have a lot of real-world use cases.

Good reasons to have both 😉

I agree with having both. The tablesaw should be a sawstop.

You have to buy the track separately?

This is one of the better deals for this saw if you need the track too (just don't hack/return the track). You do still have to buy the battery/charger if you don't ha e any Milwaukee tools. Also, apparently the different Milwaukee batteries have wildly different amp/current rates so the smaller /older batteries don't work too well on this saw. 5.0xc sort of a minimum for plywood, and you really need the 6+ high output batteries for great performance.

You need to replace your blade .. I've never had this issue and I use this saw almost daily
Tried new blades. Milwaukee brand and CMT. Both garner similar results. We rip slabs, typically in the 1.75"-2" thickness range. Beginning to wonder if it's the batteries. Would the newer red lithium ones help?

Price is $313 after applying the "free" track and clamps. HD must have decreased the value of the "free item"
