Great demonstration Mark, I have the 36v makita abrasive chopsaw & my coworkers love it. We cut 14 & 16 gaudge cees with it all the time, i'm glad to see that tool companies are constantly innovating. Now I need a cordless cold-cut saw... I wonder who is going to get one to market first.

Mark, when I received mine I was searching high a low for the 4th rubber foot. I reviewed the manual and it was made that way. 3 rubber feet and one metal that is flush with the surface. Maybe someone knows why? Static discharge? I was watching your slow motion footage. It’s in the same area as the discharge cover…
