Metabo 18V Plunge Cut Circular Saw - KT 18 LTX 66 BL - Tracksaw [2021] 

Great Video!

I have such a saw. In Russia. The saw has disc play and sole play. Metabo doesn't want to admit it's a malfunction. It is not possible to cut hard materials in two passes. Sorry for my English.

I got the Metabo rail which I run the ced plus on. Love lining up and plunging grooves, I’m about to tidy up a tile jobs edges tomorrow with it. I also have the ltx 57 hybrid and for my underlayment it does what I need it to with a good blade on. As far as the storage cause you drive around in drift vehicles or dune buggy’s, what have you😉😂🤣. I got what’s called a bag that keeps my Bosch rails and if you don’t tell anyone it even fits a Metabo😯😜. And that travels nicely in my equinox with me😎 ya finicky Aussies. Lmao just playing but you asked for it. Great review as always can’t wait to see the plunge saw roundup as I have been waiting patiently for the right product (Mafell) at the right price. Thanks gents!

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A MAKITA TRACK. THERES TOO MUCH PLAY

I have this saw in the UK. Love it. Get hold of the cordless extractor. That thing is insane. I have that too. The cordless switch on for any tool Is fantastic.

You guys forgot to mention this saw can also be used on the Bosch guide rail.

Can’t wait for the track saw comparison! Great review as always.

i guess when they said Metabo was releasing a tracksaw, they really meant Metabo and not HPT.

I have one of these and love it. All my gear is Metabo but the only thing I would say is that the upward cutting finish isn’t as neat as using a festoon track. I did have a maffel track but this saw didn’t fit it so I had to send it back

Talking, sawing and a background music track. A bit hard to understand the accent with all that:)

Please do comparison with new Makita 40v and fasttool three of them side by side in details which one has what. Because I'm looking to get one but don't know yet which one. Thank you.

Great explanation on how 5.5 Ah is more powerful than 10.0Ah. It's hard to get your head around it but 5.5 Ah gives you more power per sec than the 10.0Ah if i understand it correctly due to its heat dissipation and active materials in the cells and internal connectors etc.

I have been struggling to cut a perfect 45degree with this tool from day one and its really frustrating- what coul I be doing wrong

Thanks for your review, came in to market a little late, because I am already set-up for DeWalt. I am thinking to sale the DeWalt and buy one of this, because DeWalt has a few things with anointing me so much. You are talking about the ripping fence, the problem with that fence one plunge saw it is that it's problematic to keep the saw down and pushed on the same time.. One good futures one DeWalt is that second generation has a remote control integra in so starter's the DeWalt flexvolt vacuum one the same time with the saw . Metabo cordless vacuum has a similar function, which is working via vibration , the price one Metabo is around 1000 sterling pounds with 2 batteries, but if you are invested in the platform Metabo it's a better solution , if I had the possibility I changed to Metabo Tools today, because I had enough with DeWalt.

#mafell g´day guys, just found your channel after leaving oz half a year ago. i would love to hear you guys reviewing mafell, especially the kss 40 as i am planning to buy one. i gather though that as of yet mafell products are not too easy to get in oz yet. i know the guy from furnitecture let his come from germany. i talked to a metabo ingeneer on friday an he said this saw hit like a bomb, meaning they sold heaps of it since release. i will probably get it even though i planned to go all mafell on handsaws. all else will be metabo maybe starmix but cas definetely. thanks for the explanation on the batteries. will check next time i talk to my metabo consultant. cheers from the black forest, germany, not too far from the "bacon belt of tools" around stuttgart, swabia.

Great review. But I just can't understand why a 5.5 is greater than a 10 ah

My track saw is still the old electric variety. All the cordless ones are so dear unfortunately. Would like one but hard to justify the cost. I don't carry my track saw daily anyway only load for specific jobs. If you were old like me and built houses with a few hand tools and a circular saw as was the norm. I still do most of what you showed with the simple circular saw. Either free hand. Rip fence or straight edge. If money was no object. The new Makita 40v track saw I reckon would take some beating.

Laughing at the American trailer comment....hilarious. But I have a Maverick which classifies as a Ute

Hello! Is it possible to know the performance of the engine? Or how many amperes can the BLDC motor take? Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for the review....I have swapped over to a mostly Metabo platform and looking forward to this being available in the US. Have you tried it on a 4amp battery?

So where does that leave the Hikoki 36v system. to me seems like a better approach to high power from the same?? company.

Hi does this saw have a scoring function on it??

Gee, i wonder if it comes with a DUST bag :)

Is for wood o steel?

Hey guys, you didn’t really explain the 5.5Ah vs 8.0Ah vs 10Ah. They’re all 18 volt, so they’re all going to provide the same current to the motor. The Ah rating refers to how long the battery will last. (As you mentioned, the size of the fuel tank) I’d like some clarity on this as it really doesn’t add up.

Saw alignment

I watched all the videos about the Matabo KT66 plunge-cut saw. Unfortunately, nobody says or shows the undercutting function of, for example, plywood on any of them. Does this machine have such a function?

curious to know if this can also run with the 36v ac adaptor? someone said that the adaptor can be used with 18v tools but not all of metabo 18v tools. it would be a perk if the tracksaw can be cordless and corded.

Think they have shot themselves in the foot by not sorting out the adjustment properly for non metabo tracks. So many potential sales gone. Never mind, looks like a good tool other than that.

Matabo is meant to be better than makita . How is the track not as good ?

It doesn’t fit snugly onto the Makita or mafell/Bosch track.

Sorry buy the festool instead these are nearly the same price and I no festool is pricey .that's true but its the quality u get and they are very good warranty

Really? A 5.5 Ah battery is more powerful than a 10 Ah battery with an identical chemistry and cell type? You obviously don't know anything about cells. What you call "power" and "grunt" means in fact the discharge rate of the pack. A bigger pack will always have a higher sustained discharge rate. Also, the voltage matters, a 36v 4 Ah battery will provide a higher sustained discharge rate than a 12v 4 Ah pack. And most new tool batteries use the 21700 cells instead of the old 18650 ones. You give wrong advice, unsubscribed.
