Pro Tool Reviews compared the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2834 with the Makita 40V max XGT GSH01. Both use a 7-1/4-inch blade, reach 6,000 RPM and offer a 2-5/8-inch cutting depth at 90 degrees. The comparison looks beyond those matching headline specifications to cutting speed, control and everyday handling.
In the publication’s double-stacked OSB rip-cut test, the Milwaukee completed the cut in 9.76 seconds and the Makita in 13.53 seconds. These are results from that particular test setup, not a universal performance guarantee. Makita’s AWS dust-extraction connectivity and the battery platform already in your workshop remain useful buying considerations.
