Choosing a Cordless Circular Saw

A circular saw is a powerful, portable, and versatile tool designed to cut wood with a large spinning blade. While most circular saws are specifically designed to cut wooden materials, most can also be used with specialty blades made to cut metals, plastics, and other industrial materials. Circular saws have a flat, pivoting shoe that moves up and down for depth adjustment, and to the right or left (although generally to the left, from zero to 45 or 50 degrees) for angled cuts or edging. Circular saws are also built with a blade guard which covers the blade almost entirely to protect operators from the jaws of a spinning blade. Most circular saws also have additional safety features like blade and trigger locks -- but don't let these mechanisms fool you. Circular saws can be very dangerous, and because they are relatively simple to use and maneuver, it is easy to forget the potential dangers of a sharp, and spinning power tool as you work.

Circular saws are excellent for rip cuts, cutting with the grain, and also for cross cuts, or cuts made against the grain. The saw is also surprisingly accurate - even without a guide. Because the blade is so large, its bigger size generally keeps your cuts on track. Where accuracy is key, however, a fence or guide can be attached to ensure optimized cutting precision. There is a wide range of circular saws available from 4in. to 7-1/4in. (7-1/4in., for example, refers to the blades diameter), and hand-held to table mounted. Craftsmen, however, can not get too far without needing a lightweight and cordless circular saw to get the job done.

The cordless circular saw is lightweight and convenient eliminating the need for outlets and to lug around endless, knotted ropes of power cord. With its portability and more compact size, the cordless saw can go more places and conveniently conquer your projects with not much sacrifice to power. From commercial jobs to backyard plans, no toolbox should be without this cordless giant.

Milwaukee's 18v 6-1/2in. cordless circular saw delivers extreme power in an ergonomic and lightweight design. For increased performance and comfort on the job the tool has a compact design and soft grip handle that keeps it perfectly balanced for always precise and controlled cuts. The saw is also designed with magnesium lower and upper blade guards to provide maximum durability and keep you, and your blades safe from accidental drops. Magnesium is an element both lighter and stronger than aluminum increasing the stability and durability within the tool in a more lightweight, more efficient package. The saw is also built with an easy-to-read, aviation grade aluminum shoe designed to ensure greater accuracy, withstand wear, and resist breakage and bending. Milwaukee's 2630-22 is built with a powerful 3,500 RPM motor that quickly and easily cuts through even the toughest materials. This powerful cutting capacity is ideal for plumbing, electrical, framing, finishing, and carpentry applications, and is conveniently versatile with a 2-1/8in. cut capacity at ninety degrees (standard position) and 1-5/8in. at forty-five degrees.

Milwaukee is also well known for their advanced and unrivaled battery power. The 2630-22 circular saw utilizes Milwaukee's long lasting 2.8 amh (amp hours) lithium ion batteries. These high capacity batteries last longer to increase your productivity, and produce 20 percent more torque to deliver the most powerful cuts. The saw also features an electronic overload system, a mechanism designed to protect the saw from burning up. Keeping the tool's motor safe from overuse, the overload system extends the overall life and productivity of the saw. Additionally, the tool features an electronic braking system that stops the blade quickly to reinforce safety on the job. Milwaukee's circular saw is ideal for any serious woodworker - contractors and at-home hobbyists alike. With more durability and comfort than most cordless saws on the market, the 2630-22 is excellent for cutting all types of wood and metal. Milwaukee's circular saw comes with two 18v high-capacity lithium ion batteries, a one hour charger, 6-1/2in.- 24T carbide-tipped blade, and a convenient contractor bag. The saw is also backed with Milwaukee's industry leading five year warranty, and a five year / 2000 charge warranty on the batteries.

Makita offers an 18v LXT lithium ion 6-1/2in. circular saw with a powerful 3,700 RPM. The saw's ergonomic and balanced design delivers optimal operator control, even pressure, and simplified operation as you work. Weighing only 7.1 lbs the saw is lightweight and easy to control, and has two built-in L.E.D lights for better illumination of your work space. The saw has a high torque motor with a cut capacity of 2-1/4in. at ninety degrees, 1-9/16in. at forty-five degrees, and 1-7/16in. at fifty degrees. For additional durability and smooth, accurate cutting, the BSS610 has a precision machined, heavy gauge base, and a built-in dust blower to keep your workpiece clean.

Makita's circular saw utilizes lithium ion technology to provide longer battery run-time and an optimized overall lifespan. Makita also provides an advanced charging system (45-minute Optimum Charger) that, through built-in CPU chips, communicates with the battery to maximize performance. Throughout the charging process the charger monitors, with "Active 3 Control" technology, the current, temperature, and voltage within the battery. The 45-minute Optimum Charger also has a built-in fan to cool the battery and deliver optimal performance for the life of the battery. The BSS610 is built with a two-piece armature and field, and has externally accessible brushes to simplify any necessary service. Makita's 18v, 6-1/2in. circular saw includes two LXT lithium ion 3.0Ah batteries, a 45-minute Optimum Charger, saw blade, and a tool case for convenience and portability. Additionally, Makita provides a three-year warranty on the tool and a one-year warranty on the batteries.

DEWALT also offers an 18v XRP cordless circular saw kit with a commanding 3,700 RPM for fast and smooth rip, and cross cuts. The tool is also built with a strong magnesium shoe and upper guard to deliver enhanced durability. For versatility in multiple applications the saw has a bevel capacity from zero to 50 degrees with a cut depth of 1-5/8in. at 45 degrees, and 2-1/4in. at ninety degrees. DEWALT's DC390K has easily replaceable brushes and a fan-cooled motor for optimal power and durability. Its XRP battery offers extended run-time for increased productivity, and longer overall battery life for optimized efficiency on the job. Weighing only 8.7 lbs the circular saw is lightweight and convenient for all cutting applications - industrial and home projects alike. DEWALT's DC390K 18v XRP cordless circular saw kit includes a one hour charger, 18v XRP battery pack, 16T carbide-tipped saw blade, a blade wrench, rip fence, and a heavy duty kit box for security and mobility. The tool is also backed by DEWALT's three year limited warranty on the saw and battery.

These options provide a pretty good review of what's available for cordless circular saws. The portability and power of the tool coupled with its lightweight, compact, comfortable, and cordless design, establish the cordless circular saw as a must-have in any craftsman's toolbox. For rip cuts, cross cuts, beveled or angled cuts, and its fast accuracy, the circular saw is the ultimate cutting tool.

Modern Power Tools - the Lithium Ion Cordless Drill

Power tools are essential for those jobs, which require more intense workmanship that ordinary tools cannot handle. A power tool is basically a tool, which is powered by an electric motor or alternatively a compressed air motor or petrol driven motor. They are typically used in the construction industry but are also used around the house to complete those otherwise hard to do jobs. Power tools are used for cutting, drilling, shaping, grinding, painting, sanding and polishing. Machine tools are a form of power tools used in metal work. It is not uncommon for the same power tool to be used both in wood and metal work.

The first used power tool was the lathe. Power tools were initially developed during the time of the industrial revolution. When factories began to use power tools to drive belts from overhead shafts. The main power source was a water wheel or later a steam engine. These tools were stationary until the introduction of the electric motor in the 1880s, which made the self powered stationary and portable tools we know today possible. The electric motor has remained the preferred source by which stationary power tools are driven. These tools use a cord but what has become increasingly popular for portable power tools is the battery. However batteries still have limitations because of they run out and lack sustaining power. Cost of buying and maintaining the use of batteries keep the cordless versions in lower demand on the market. Nailers and paint sprayers more frequently use air pressure, while chain saws, weed eaters and lawn motors have a preference for petrol driven motors.

One of the most popular power tools is the cordless drill, which is a type of electric drill but instead of being connected to a wall socket uses rechargeable batteries. Typically cordless drills come in the hammer drill configuration and mostly have a clutch setting, which allows them to be used for driving screws. In order to continue working without much interruption the tradesman will have a number of spare battery packs charging while drilling, so that he or she can quickly swap them.

The earliest cordless drills used 7.2V battery packs but over the years the battery voltage has increased to 18V and more, thus allowing these tools to produce as much torque as those drills connected to a main power supply. The main disadvantage of most current cordless drills is the use of nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, which develop a "memory effect" or internal short circuits due to dendrite growth. This severely limits their usefulness and life span and in turn creates a hazardous materials disposal problem. Drill manufacturers are now producing lithium ion batteries. Makita Electric Works and Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation are two such manufacturers producing lithium ion batteries. The main advantages are lack of memory effect and very short charging time. Lithium ion batteries can provide an hour of work per twenty minutes of charging instead of vice versa. These batteries also have a constant discharge rate meaning that the power output remains constant until the battery is depleted, something that nickel-cadmium batteries lacks. This constant discharge rate makes cordless drills much more versatile. Lithium-ion batteries also hold a charge for a significantly longer time than nickel-cadmium batteries, about 2 years if not used, vs. around 4 months for a nickel-cadmium battery.

Cordless drills will increase in their popularity as science overcomes its' limitations and as power tools become increasingly powerful.

Lithium Ion Drill

I need a 8.4 volt battery and charger for a black & decker cat# 9052kc type 1 cordless drill?

You are probably going to discover (as I did) that it is just about cheaper to buy a new outfit than buy replacement batteries. I had a Craftsman 12.4v with 2 batteries. I found out that the batteries were special order and they had a brand new 16v system on sale for about $10.00 more than the 2 batteries would have cost me.

Choosing the Best Cordless Drills

Cordless drills are portable tools, which can help quickly to do the drilling tasks. These tools use lithium ion rechargeable batteries that are best when doing offsite work without electricity. These cordless drills offer the power needed to do tasks, even the most difficult ones.

Cordless drills are one of the most common handyman tools that feature portability compared to wired electric drills. Most of the cordless drills nowadays use lithium ion rechargeable batteries.

It is important that comparison tests and assessment be performed before purchasing the power tool you needed. It should focus on the balance of use and functionality and its easy usage. It is also a must to know the specific function we require for our tools that will help us in deciding the right tool to purchase.

In most cases, we consider buying the biggest and most powerful tool that we can buy, but this is not applicable for portable power tools. They can perform as well as bigger tools. There are less expensive cordless drills which offer more features compared to larger power tools.

Here is a quick guide on different cordless drill types and uses:

•Cordless drill/drivers: These are the most common type of cordless tools. They are capable of drilling holes and can also function as screwdrivers. They come with adjustable clutches that reduces the torque power applied to a screw. These cordless drills are ideal for home use with their multi-function capability.

•Cordless hammer drill/drivers: These are types of cordless tools that are capable of drilling bricks and cements. These tools are heavier but have the power to penetrate hard objects. These tools come with special designed clutches that function similarly with a jackhammer while spinning.

•Cordless impact drivers: These power tools are ideal for driving large screws commonly used for buildings. These are capable of sensing resistance and they automatically increase the torque power so as to prevent the bit slipping out of the screw head.

•Cordless screwdrivers: These tools are smaller and lighter compared to the other cordless tools. With their size, they are sometimes called palm drivers. They are ideal in making picture frames, shelves, and furniture assembly.

In choosing the best cordless drills, it is a must to look into the features that these tools can offer. Here are some important cordless drill features that we should take into consideration when choosing the one for our use.

•14.4 volt to 18-volt cordless drills: A higher voltage is best for more power and longer usability. A 12-volt cordless drill is quite enough but if you are planning to add a circular saw that uses the same battery, it is best to choose a higher voltage. This would be a good investment since you can switch batteries with your other cordless tools. A 36-volt lithium-ion tool is best for full time use in construction sites while a lower voltage is convenient enough for your household jobs.

•Choose a fast charger. A fast charger is best in most situations. New models of cordless drills come with a charger with 30 minute or even as fast as 15 minute charging time. It is best to choose a cordless tool that comes with a smart charger. These chargers are capable of automatically turning off when it detects that the battery is fully charged, which prevents overheating and avoids damage to the batteries.

•Lithium-ion batteries: Choose a cordless tool with lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are expensive but they have longer lifespan compared to NiCad batteries. In addition, they provide three times running time compared to their predecessors.

•Torque power: A general rule applies that the higher the voltage, the higher is the torque. Remember a powerful torque can do the job quickly and efficiently.

•Pressure-sensitive trigger: This is a very convenient feature, which is used to decrease the speed of the torque as the screw head reaches the wood and prevents stripping or breaking it.

•One-sleeve keyless chucks: This feature allows an easier way of tightening the bits in place even with one hand. It is important that the chuck should be able to grasp the bits firmly and prevent slips.
It is best to choose your power tool with careful assessment based on the most essential features and vital details of the said tool.

What is the best and worst ways to care for lithium ion batteries?

Hi - just got a new Lithium Ion 18v drill. I remember that the only complaints against it were people killing the batteries by accident. But I've read the instructions cover to cover, and there isn't any real pointers on how to care for the batteries. Do you have any tips or opinions? I'd like to know what to do and what to avoid. Thanks.

Keep them well charged, but without substantial heating.
NEVER run them flat. The problem there is, being a battery comprised of series cells, some may exhaust before others. If you continue trying to use them, the flat cell(s) will have a reverse voltage applied to them. They don't like it.
Li-ion cells don't suffer from the "memory" problems that Ni-cad cells did, so to recharging them after only short useage doesn't worry them.
The charger supplied by the drill manufacturer will have instructions, follow them. The supplied charger may self- adjust to suit the battery, anyway.
Oh, and remember that charging it now won't mean it will be ready to go in 2 months' time. These cells don't hold charge for long periods.

Millions of Lithium-ion Laptop Batteries Was Discovered That They Could Overheat and Ignite

Millions of lithium-ion laptop batteries made by Sony for Apple, Dell Inc., Lenovo Inc. and other PC makers were recalled in 2006 and 2007 after it was discovered that they could overheat and ignite.

Apple did not immediately return a call seeking the name of the company that made the iPod batteries in question. Yoshitsune declined to name the supplier.

The company's written statement came in response to a Japanese government report that two iPod Nanos overheated in Tokyo, scorching nearby paper and a woven straw mat.

Apple said the flaw affected first-generation Nanos, sold between September 2005 and December 2006, in very rare instances. The company's statement added that "There have been no reports of serious injuries or property damage, and no reports of incidents for any other iPod Nano model."

Japan's government has been working with Apple to investigate three separate cases of iPods that overheated while being recharged, according to Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry official Hiroyuki Yoshitsune. A defect in the lithium-ion battery was suspected in all three cases.

No one was injured during the two Tokyo incidents disclosed Tuesday. Yoshitsune said the cases involved an iPod Nano, model number MA099, which singed nearby paper in August, and model MA005, which burned a traditional Japanese tatami mat in January. Both music players were twisted out of shape from the heat and became unusable, he said.

The latest problem follows a similar report from the Japanese ministry in March about sparks shooting out of an iPod Nano.

Apple's iPod players are extremely popular in Japan and coveted as fashion items, even though Japanese manufacturers produce a host of iPod rivals.

Milwaukee cordless drill grip has dissolved to mush, any idea why?

My Milwaukee cordless drill has (had) a rubber coating on the grip. Over time (~8 yrs) this rubber has deteriorated totally, turning to sticky, gummy mush. I had to scrape it all off, otherwise it would turn my hands black every time I use it. The drill hasn't had a hard life, usually kept in its carrying case in my garage. Has anybody else experienced this? I know a lot of tools have this type of grip so it must work pretty well. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

you might have came in contact with a desolving agent like gasoline, paint thinner, oil,etc.

Cordless Drill Batteries and Your Drill

When looking for the perfect cordless drill you need to be very careful that to look at every problem before purchasing.  You will also want to look at which cordless drill batteries will last the longest.  For a long time, professionals would not touch a cordless drill.  Most professional did not enjoy starting jobs and having their drills stop in the middle of the job.  Also, the burn out rate for these batteries was very high.  A professional could go through 1 or 2 batteries every other month.  As a result, professional craftsman would opt to have wired drills that one had a longer life and two held up to the rigors of the job.  What made it worse was the fact that the batteries cost so much compared to just getting a new drill.  With cost so high, a new market was born for refurbished cordless drill batteries.

Cordless drill batteries have gotten better.  Now, even the cheapest batteries tend to last months or even years.  But the merchants had to do a lot to get them to this point.  That work has started paying off.  Now, craftsmen are tending to pick cordless drills over wired drills.  Thus, giving them more freedom to not have to worry if a work site has the electricity needed to use their drills.

Cordless drills have also taken on the Lithium-Ion battery technology.  Lithium-Ion are a type of battery
composed of Lithium, the lightest metal and the metal that has the highest electrochemical potential. Lithium, however, is an unstable metal, so Lithium-Ion batteries are made from Lithium ions from chemicals. Because of its lightness and high energy density, Lithium-Ion batteries are ideal for portable devices, such as notebook computers. In addition, Lithium-Ion batteries have no memory effect and do not use poisonous metals, such as lead, mercury or cadmium.  The only disadvantage to Lithium-Ion batteries is that they are currently more expensive than NiCad and NiMH battery packs.

That being said, manufacturers are also equipping drills with the NiCad and NiMH battery packs.  NiCad battery are a rechargeable battery with a nickel cathode and a cadmium anode.  They are often used in emergency systems because of its low discharge rate when not in use.  NiCad batteries are great for on the job recharging.  If done right, charging a NiCad battery could take as little as 4 hours.

Cordless drill batteries are also evolving.  I am sure manufactures will even cut down the recharge rate to 2 hour or below.  Some day, I wish.
