MAKITA EXPANDS MAX EFFICIENCY LINE WITH THREE NEW MITER SAW BLADES

Thin kerf carbide-tipped blades are for use with 7-1/2" miter saws and are engineered for more cuts per charge

April 13, 2022, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools and accessories, is announcing an expansion for the Max Efficiency line of saw blades in 7-1/2” with 25-, 45-, and 60-tooth options. The tungsten carbide-tipped saw blades are for use with 7-1/2” miter saws and are recommended for a range of cutting applications.

The thin kerf is engineered for more efficient cutting when used with a cordless miter saw, delivering up to 50% more cuts per charge compared to standard blades.

The Max Efficiency saw blades include the following:

· E-11112 - 7-1/2" 25T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade (Plywood)

· E-11128 - 7-1/2" 45T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade (Lumber)

· E-11134 - 7-1/2" 60T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade (Molding/Trim)

“Makita Max Efficiency blades are expertly tensioned with an ultra-thin kerf designed for a premium cordless cutting experience for finish carpenters,” said Marc Jackson, associate product manager, accessories, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “These purpose-built blades slice through the material with minimal tear-out for clean cuts on hardwoods, softwoods, and moldings.”

With the addition of the new 7-1/2” blades, Makita now offers Max Efficiency blades for every class of Makita miter saw including 6-1/2”, 7-1/2”, 8-1/2”, 10” and 12”.

Faster Cuts, Thinner Kerf

Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blades deliver up to 90% faster cuts and up to 50% more cuts per charge over standard blades with a thinner kerf engineered for minimal material loss and less drag on the motor. The tungsten carbide-tipped cutting teeth allow for precise and true cuts whether cross-cutting or ripping with a cordless miter saw. The blades can perform cuts in a variety of common construction materials including solid wood, plywood, and plastics for increased versatility.

Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blades are expertly tensioned to provide precision cuts even during all-day use on the job site. They are ideal to use with the Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless 7-1/2" Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw (XSL02Z, sold separately).
