We take a look at the brand new Makita XGT 40v GSH02 7-1/4 inch top handle circular saw with the track compatible base.

This saw is the same saw as the GSH01 but with the track compatible base, so the performance will be the same across both saws.

Great saw, works very well and as you would expect for a Makita saw.

There is quite a performance boost when using a higher amp hour battery as you would expect. So if you want to maximize the performance of the saw use higher capacity batteries.
