Makita makes the cut As part of its October release onslaught, Makita UK has


revealed a pair of new 40VMax cordless XGT battery machines. First up, the 40VMAX LS004G XGT MITRE SAW. Driven by a


brushless motor, this 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw provides a no-load speed of up to 3,600rpm. A rail-forward design allows users to maximise workspace, as the machine can be positioned next to a wall. Its 48o bevel range and 60o mitre range are easily adjusted with quick lock and release, making it simple to achieve the cut required. Bringing even more power to the proceedings, we have the


80VMAX UR012GZ04 XGT brush cutter. Delivering up to 6,400rpm and a maximum power output of 2.0kW, the 80VMax (40Vx2) XGT Brushless Brush Cutter offers performance similar to a 40cc engine grass trimmer, making the machine ideal for heavy duty applications. The unit also features Active


Feedback Sensing Technology, which shuts down the tool if the rotation speed suddenly slows, protecting the user against kickback. A useful reverse switch removes any material that gets stuck in the blade, reducing downtime.


after dark Caterpillar has launched a new six-part video series titles ‘The Secret Life of Quarries’. Sure, it’s outside our usual remit, but who doesn’t like watching massive machines doing what they do best? Shot entirely at night, the new series


reveals the hidden side of quarrying and ‘unearths’ the hidden knowledge needed to turn buried stone into the building blocks of our modern world. Each episode reveals the secrets


underlying every successful quarrying operation, giving experts, enthusiasts and everyone in between, a unique take on the entire process, opening with Overburden Removal and ending at Sustainability.


Check the new series out at www.cat.com/secretlifeofquarries.
