Exactly! Also it's very handy for cutting out access panels in the ceilings, without the risk to cut cables or ruining jigsaw blade by running it in to metal.
I've owned this saw for 5 years and probably used it 3 times. I always default to my multi tool and if I want dust extraction I cut with one hand and hold the vac with the other. Having said this I am a remodeling contractor and do plenty of old work applications.
@@Fernan386 that's how I do it bro. But that tool is way better bro. I'm looking for things that makes the job easier and faster. My dad owns a plumbing company.. almost every repair he does requires a drywall repair.. I coul do 4 different houses a week.. small patches and I can make 1000$ easy. So I'm trying to do it in a more professional way without leaving a mess..
I love doing water damage patch work. It just hasn't rained properly in a long time.... So work has dried up. Soon the buzz of the saw will be heard again
I like it. makes butterfly patchwork fast and easy.. if you want to know which tool manufacturer is the best, ask a repair shop, Makita is high on the list for quality, Dewalt..not so good, we call them Default tools
I don't do enough drywall to warrant one, but looks nice, which I had one back in the day when I did drywall all day long. Looks really good to get a nice square decent cut for patching and anything with dust extraction is real win in my book.
He does? 45 seconds in, and I had to stop watching. Yet another example of someone who has zero business creating content to clog TH-cam with yet more rubbish.
They make a drywall blade for the flush cut saw you used that you said you cut wires with on accident . It doesn’t cut pass the drywall maybe a 16th... and it’s fine so doesn’t make barely any dust.
I had the makita subcompact drill and impact and i liked them but the rest of the makita tools are just outrageously expensive for what i needed. I switched to milwaukee m12. It does what i need as as homeowner and is much more manageable pricewise.
How would you compare this to the Kett Saw? We do a lot of drywall demolition. We do have kett saws but speed is typically a requirement, as is dust amount (in lived in units under site protection), and cost. we have 15 vans in the field doing precise demolition of drywall.
Maxkil Luckily I did，I used a recip saw before cutting the plasterboard when I am doing patching. It is not easy to keep the saw blade on the right angle to cut through the plasterboard and stops at the ctr of a stud.This new machine solved the problem.BTW，remember to tape up the blk rubber cap ，it will soon get loose.
Looks great for remodeling, Probably new construction not so much, but if I did new I would probably have one in my truck Anyway, placement of the handle seams to be a little strange.
@@Maxkil yeah these guys talking about I just use a blade in a utility knife have never used it for cleaning up lids after sparky gets Dunn or ac guys in your case .
Jig saw + drywall blade or wood blade (wood blades are cheaper) / 6 tpi blades. Extend your blade all the way out from the jigsaw base plate then cut the jigsaw blade to the exact thickness of the drywall that you are about to cut out. Cuts very fast, very low dust, and you dont have to worry about wires and pipes (if you measured and cut your blade correctly).
Cutting drywall is all about speed and dust. I have been using a cordless makita 3 ⅜" circular saw to cut drywall. It is amazing, no airborn dust, and only cuts through the drywall by about a 1/16" so as to not hit wiring and plumbing. The only downside is hitting screws is hard on the blades, which run about $15 each, but will cut even with half the teeth missing. Still can't find a better, cleaner, safer way to cut drywall. Even use it for boarding, if a board is, say, ¼" too big, or notching.
Welcome to the Makita family mate. You won't look back. Got you into a van, got you onto the handheld cordless Graco, got you into the Makita range you are just like a mini me but only more handsome.
Where did you buy the aluminum bench? I started a new buisness with a lot of work and im looking for benches exactly like that, we do 8' 9' 10' cielings so. The saw looks nice for straightening repair jobs for sure.
Yeah it's good for cutting out. I will now join you in being a Makita fan. It's my first Makita tool, they have a huge range which I can now choose from.
I love the new crap they come up with ever try a broken zip bit cuts the same but not as expensive . I've got to know you ever notice your screws are not the same as when using a corded gun Almost like there is no speed depth control lots of blow outs loose rock
Yep, those brushless motors are the worst. We had an 18v cordless dewalt and it did good but eventually wore out. Got a new 20v and it always puts the screws at different depths no matter how you set it.
Maxkil just wait as the house shifts then the rock starts to pop up in sticking with corded till they fix it but it's a good job gain fixing houses under 2 years old but the routers are the bomb but double check the rpm slower ones are great to router in plaster patches
Ivan Alexis I think this machine is designed for small repairwork and small cut out.The best part of the machine is it can cut through the plasterboard without cutting stud-or let's say your blade will not be held by the stud when you cut the fixed plasterboard along the ctr of a stud where you are going to put the new joint.
Good effort. I like your review. You had like 160 thumbs down. Why? Bunch of haters. They don’t have the balls to wear pink. Keep doing what you’re doing brother. Maybe they’re mad about the beer? Wankers.
Like a box cutter blade? Never! There is no quicker way, other tools would slow down over your timber, this tool you just set to 9.5mm . Glides over anything, without risking cutting the hidde cables.
La verdad amigo yo también soy chirroquero Y esa Makita no sirve para nada yo no la compraría no la ocupó si ya tengo el rotor dewalt o en su defecto rotor hilty Qué es mejor si no quiere puedo usar su serrucho y su navaja y punto el detalle aquí es que no se ocupa esa Makita a2018

@@joeyjo-jojuniorshabadoo6827 The U.S is capitalist society. People want it done at a low cost and want it done fast. There not cheap . The customers are cheap. You probably can't compete with them, ha! And tacos are awasome!!!
By the time you dick around setting up the tool, a good trade would have cut the plaster, hung it, stopped it up, painted it, invoiced the job and would be at the pub enjoying a beer.
No compa la verdad que quédese con su Makita para que voy a comprar esa cosa que no me sirve es bien lenta mejor usó mi rotor dewalt y si no uso mi serrucho y mi navaja
could be done better, sound is bad, showed something useless stuff which has no relation but did not show if the dept cut can be easily adjusted. Thumb down
Well if your happy to pay the tax man you should be happy to buy yourself the right tools to make things easier for you. Less time you have to hold your arms above your head the better. This just good for cutting out water damaged repairs... That kind of thing perfect for me. I'm actually looking forward to my next repair now.... Definitely worth it!!
@@Maxkil yeah, it's a good tool, and I checked and the prices here in the states is much less. I can get one for $169, but I would still have to buy the battery and charger. If I could get it ready to go with charger and all for that price I'd probably get one because I do a lot of remodels, and repairs.
Great tool way to expensive for what it does I would pay around $200 if it came with batteries and a charger until then I will continue to use my knife key hole saw and multi tool
I don't like it. A knife a tape and a router makes nice holes if you know how to use a router LOL. I learned old school ways to do drywall on new construction and remodel. Never needed it to like that before. The little cut off tool they make is great for trim work. But when it comes to drywall there's not a set of hand tools that I can use that wouldn't blend Electric Tools shame. It's all about the knowledge of tools and how to use them. great idea for a weekend warrior and wants to play construction guy.
I would have gone for this til I checked blade prices. You are looking at 22$ to 25$ for a 2 pack of blades. you can do the same cut with www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/oscillating-tools/oscillating-multi-tool-62279.html and only pay $19.00 . I would never pay 200$ for any tool that cuts drywall. If you can not cut drywall without a depth guide than you should not cut drywall at all.
Yeah I would agree it would be slow to cut out sockets good for cutting out a couple of metres squared from the ceiling though. I can't wait to use it. A couple of years ago I was doing majority insurance work cutting out 1m2 from the ceiling, plasterer it, then go home come back next day sand and paint. if I had the same job now I swear I be able to get out of there in like 2 hours on the first day.
How do you not comprehend the specific purpose of the tool. As he explained it is for repairs on installed board where snapping is not an option. Its sole purpose is to cut a very precise depth with very minimal dust and cut relatively straight. For ppl who need to do that kind of work I don't think there is anything better on the market.
Actually nothing can cut a couple of meters of ceiling out as fast , as easy, with less dust and as accurate. Great for repairs. Not much use for new work though.
Too costly, and you're basically wasting your time with this tool for drywalling. I wanna recommend a rotary tool with a strong bit. You'll get perfect cuts every time.
![โรงเรียนห้ามรัก โดนจับได้ตาย...!! [เอิร์นไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4u02Sbr556Q/mqdefault.jpg)
I have this tool& keep a strong magnet on hand to run alone your chalk line prior to cutting, saves hitting a screw, because the blades aren’t cheap
Hey John.
Thats a great tip. I will do exactly that. In my next video I might mention that.
Thanks again...
To all the naysayers, its not for new rock installation. Its for cutting out old drywall. Sure beats scoring down a stud a dozen time with a knife.
Exactly! Also it's very handy for cutting out access panels in the ceilings, without the risk to cut cables or ruining jigsaw blade by running it in to metal.
Major benefit of this tool is the dust extraction. Would be especially handy on private jobs where you don't want to make a mess
M B it’s the only plus I can see with this tool. Relatively dust free which is great if working in an occupied home. Otherwise. It’s pretty useless
I've owned this saw for 5 years and probably used it 3 times. I always default to my multi tool and if I want dust extraction I cut with one hand and hold the vac with the other. Having said this I am a remodeling contractor and do plenty of old work applications.
I need that tool.. I do like 15 drywall patches a month in places where I can't have to much dust. That little tool is awesome.

nola grom latino shit a 1000 a week repairing patches? y'all hiring? lol
This is your tool then mate. Used for cut outs. Even without a vacuum attached it's low dust

Hey Maxikl;can you please tell me what’s the advantage of this tool against the cutout tool?
Makita does great garden tools as well
I don't do enough drywall to warrant one, but looks nice, which I had one back in the day when I did drywall all day long. Looks really good to get a nice square decent cut for patching and anything with dust extraction is real win in my book.

How do you go screwing drywall screws into old hardwood, do you get many screws shear on you?
Looks great for remodeling,
Probably new construction not so much, but if I did new I would probably have one in my truck
Anyway, placement of the handle seams to be a little strange.
Hey Patrick, it feels good to grip. They work better than I expected. Maybe a guide so I can see where the blade is easier
@@Maxkil yeah these guys talking about I just use a blade in a utility knife have never used it for cleaning up lids after sparky gets Dunn or ac guys in your case .
Yeah they have to use their blades, I recommend it... Thanks
@@patrickjohnson7801 Exactly! That's what this tool is for. Not boarding new.

Haha I always thought it would be too Dusty using a circular saw funny about that.
It has a very thin blade, and only runs at 1000 rpm. Yea, a regular circular saw is WAY too dusty. :)
You talk too much, show the tool!!!!!!!
Welcome to the Makita family mate. You won't look back. Got you into a van, got you onto the handheld cordless Graco, got you into the Makita range you are just like a mini me but only more handsome.
Haha classic.... That's very true.
Not sure about the handsome part, but I will take that comment to the bank....
watching drywallers work there's no way they would ever buy this. this is something i'd see from a small renovation guy
yeah exactly right, I agree. I do a lot of repair work so its good for me.
definitely something i would use. i know 2 people that would go crazy for this tool
Yeah it's pretty efficient for the right use
Where did you buy the aluminum bench? I started a new buisness with a lot of work and im looking for benches exactly like that, we do 8' 9' 10' cielings so. The saw looks nice for straightening repair jobs for sure.

Yeah it's good for cutting out. I will now join you in being a Makita fan. It's my first Makita tool, they have a huge range which I can now choose from.
Hai max what tool you used for cutting that circle
@maxkil can it cut in a circle? I would love it if it could cut out speakers in drywall ceilings for me. About 9” across so not too small of circles.
I love the new crap they come up with ever try a broken zip bit cuts the same but not as expensive . I've got to know you ever notice your screws are not the same as when using a corded gun
Almost like there is no speed depth control lots of blow outs loose rock
Yep, those brushless motors are the worst. We had an 18v cordless dewalt and it did good but eventually wore out. Got a new 20v and it always puts the screws at different depths no matter how you set it.

Maxkil just wait as the house shifts then the rock starts to pop up in sticking with corded till they fix it but it's a good job gain fixing houses under 2 years old but the routers are the bomb but double check the rpm slower ones are great to router in plaster patches
what kind of bench is that? looks like a plank with attachment to make it a bench
Yeah it is, look up Tommy Tucker trestles.
I think that a machine to cut plasterboard only serves if it is a double plating, with a normal plate is more practical with cutex or saw,regards

Got it from Hilti. Very good
What country is this?
Had you try on villaboard or will screw up the blade
Not yet on Villa. Thankfully I never have to cut it. I don't know if i would want to.
Easiest way to cut villaboard is the score and snap method. Easy, quick and dust free

For socket I use multitool ;)
Try router 2wice as fast.
