To take some of the sweat and sore muscles out of building furniture and cabinets, woodworking machines are being used even by the novice builder at home. Instead of using a hammer and chisel to create dove tail joints, there are woodworking machines that can produce perfect results every time to enable even the newest craftsman to create perfect joints the first time. Well, OK, maybe the second time as even the best equipment will take some getting used to.

When a person buys new woodworking machines they should practice on come scrap pieces of lumber before that new board gets turned into kindling wood. Many of the woodworking machines available may take the physical labor out of creating something out of wood, but it still take diligence in order to have it perform. Practicing using the machine can also save money, as it is hard to believe that with the current prices of wood that it grows on trees.

Perhaps one of the most useful woodworking machines ever developed is the power planer. In order to have the wood the same thickness and perfectly edged, a hand plane can be used, but even the most skilled woodworker can end up with small gullies in the wood that may only become apparent once the finish is applied. Passing the wood through the planer can insure an even thickness over the entire length of the piece.

Inherent Dangers Involved In Using Power Tools

Experienced woodworkers understand some of the personal dangers involved with using power equipment. Electric woodworking machines can send shards of wood into the air where they can cause eye injuries and if a finger gets in the way of a power saw, by the time the user realizes what is happening, it is usually too late.

In addition to the dangers of personal injury, woodworking machines can quickly ruin a piece of wood. One slip of a router can gouge the edge of a piece of wood, rendering it useless for the current project and a drill that goes awry can put holes in places where they may not be needed.

A power jointer is another one of the popular woodworking machines that enable the user to put two pieces of wood together at the edges without leaving gaps. However, the use of these woodworking machines can also cause more to be removed from the edge than is necessary, helping to add to the pile of scrap lumber in the corner.

Makita Cordless Drills

Cheap Makita Drills

I have been using my Makita cordless chainsaw for 6 years and it is one of my favourite tools. This Makita had low weight, good power and good balance. With DeWalt, Makita, Bosch or other brand names, you will find enormous differences. I just returned a blue Makita 24V Lithium drill after a few weeks. I have used makita drills at work, and though they are good ,they are in no way worth 5 times the cost of the lidl drill. This seriously powerful combi drill from Makita can generate up to 80Nm of torque with the Makita.

Makita Angle Grinder 9553nb

Makita manufactures great power tools, so you know you are getting a great tool for your money. Makita power tools are the ideal choice for the trade user, providing a high level of performance, reliability and value for money. For every aspect of home improvement, there is a subcontractor who is knowledgeable in one or more specific fields available at Makita. Customers will always pay a little bit more to buy a product from a credible source or company such as Makita.

Makita Lxt 401

I am ready to buy the Makita LXT kit, but have a concern regarding fire or explosion potential during rapid charging of the battery. The different between brush sanding and hand sanding is the uniformity of the stain color.

Makita 5007MGX

Makita introduced their first electric tool in 1958. This model replaced my original Makita reciprocating saw. That's just some of the features you get with this quality Makita Angle Grinder. I recall my Makita LS 1030 came with a very good blade. Makitas exclusive Super Joint System feature prevents tool kickback and gear damage caused by accidental wheel binding. Just the opposite, you should stop using a Makita cordless drill battery as soon as you feel a substantial decrease in power from the tool.
Makita Vacuum Cleaner

The Makita BO6040 replaces two machines, making a great value. I agree that my darling made a wise purchase with the Makita Cordless Vacuum. The Makita BO6040 Two Mode Polisher has an orange knob on the left side of the machine which switches it from a random orbital motion to a circular motion!

Makita Compound Miter Parts

Being a finish carpenter for over 30 years I can say that this saw is excellent for the budget end of the Makita line. After reading a lot of reviews both from buyers and from woodworking magazines, I settled on the Makita. I think the Makita LS1214 still has a slightly smoother slide function, yet the Ryobi has a wider mitre angle range, plus a more intuitive clamp system. I also bought the 80 tooth Makita blade and used it a lot this past weekend cutting moulding and baseboards.

Makita owes its reputation for building outstanding quality power tools to the drive and determination for excellence that began from day one of its operations and still continues to this day. I for one will only ever choose Makita tools when purchasing and unfortunately DeWalt will always have to take second place, for me at least.

Volt Battery Dewalt

Can an electric motor take different voltages?

I am interested in buying an electric bike that has 2 batteries that opperate at 12v @ 10 amp hours. They are designed to work together to deliver 24v to a 450 watt (peak) motor at the front wheel. Unfortunately these are heavy SLA batteries, and I would like to replace them with state of the art Nanophosphate Litihium Ion batteries.

Now the kicker: I can only find 36v versions for use in DeWalt power tools (though they are very energy dense).

So what I am wondering is if I can buy 2 / 4 of these and wire them to deliver no more than 36v continuous to the 24v motor and will it improve performance or just burn up the components.

Also as an added question, if it is not possible to run 36 volts directly is there a controller that could accomplish this.

Thanks!

The motor is from Currie Technologies, specialists in electric bikes.
I should add that the motor is DC as will be the current delivered to it.

Just replacing the 24V pair of batteries with a 36V group will very likely cause something to fail. It is possible that a controller could be designed to allow a 36V group of batteries to work with the motor, but it isn't something that you are likely to be able to easily find and mate up to the existing motor.

Additional information:
If you get a 36V PWM controller and set the current limit to the maximum continuous rating of the motor, that might keep you out of trouble. If the motor has a higher short-time current rating that you want to utilize, that might be difficult to set up.

Look at: http://www.dartcontrols.com/

More additional information:
It looks to me like Currie Technologies offers some models with a 3X12V 36V battery package, 36V controller and 450W motor.

Why can't I buy a makita drill from america instead of the expensive uk?

Makita 18v Lithium Ion LXT Hammer Drill Kit BHP451

Thats what I want, but I cannot buy (sob sob sob)
I think it is because they are a lot cheaper and the british enjoy getting ripped off
It is a cordless drill and it is 110v on a building site.

The electricity supply in the states is a different frequency. I'll have to look into this a whole lot more. I know Makita won't like it.
110v on a building site in the uk 230v in the domestic dwelling.

Frequency 50Hz

usa 60Hz
I think it is the batteries that cost alot.

Hahahaha! Iv got that exact drill! And I bought it from lowes in Johnson City in America! And I cant find a 230v charger here! -So I have to plug it into a 110v transformer onsite.

You can buy 1 there and you can use it over here just chop the 2pin american plug off the end and put a 16amp 110v plug onto it the hertz over there are different (60hz) compared to our (50hz) but that doesnt make any difference

Make a Better Impact: How an Impact Driver Will Improve Your Driving Capabilities

The power and speed of an impact driver are absolutely unbeartable. For building jobs from decking to home-additions, no job site should be with out one. Where driving screws is concerned, the impact driver is an unparalled force, a titan that will push you and your projects into sweet, triumphant victory. Every woodworker knows the task of screw driving can be trying; you need maximum power and speed and a tool that will secure rather than strip your screws. For this, the impact driver is the missing piece. An impact driver with will put a spring in the step of craftmen everywhere knowing their lives are that much more effecient.

With more force than any other tool, impact drivers are expertly designed to drve screws better. Faster and stronger that standard power drills, they generally deliver a seriously powerful, brutal, forceful 1,300 in/lbs of torque. These tools are designed for durability and conquer even the most daunting driving applications. Even with all this power, its serious strength and brute force, the impact driver still has the accuracy, the finess - if you will- to loosen and tighten screws with out stripping heads. So please, I implore you - say "goodbye" to inadequate, inefficient driving methods and welcome the well qualified, brilliantly engineered impact driver into your life.

If you are a professional craftsmen seeking to improve your driving capabilities and make your work day more efficient, please read on. The Following summarizes DEWALT and Makita impact drivers and a Makita angle impacter driver for close quarter driving.

DEWALT Heavy-Duty ¼" 18v Impact Driver: DEWALT products have long been known for their exceptional power tools and M&M Tool is excited about their 18v impact driver. This tool packs an authoritative punch along with all the features we have come to expect from DEWALT.

The DC825KA features a frameless motor, a durable magnesium gear case, and an all metal transmission to extend the tool's overall life and durability. It is also built in a compact and comfortable size; this light weight and compact design allows access into tighter areas as well as reducing user fatigue weighing only 4.6lbs. For ultra comfort and control, DEWALT has also added a textured anti-slip comfort grip. The driver delivers a forceful 1,330 in/lbs of torque to better perform a wide range of fastening applications; and with a heavy-duty impacting mechanism to direct that torque to fasteners, the tool packs superior driving power without kickback. Running at 0-2,400 RPM and 0-2,700 IPM the driver is capable of much faster, tougher driving applications.

The DEWALT DC825KA 18v impact driver comes with a dependable one hour charger, two 18v XRP batteries, and a heavy-duty kit box for additional security and convenience. The tool is also backed by DEWALT's good name, their one year free service contract, and a three year factory warranty on the tool.

Makita 18v LXT Lithium Ion cordless Impact Driver: Makita products have been a leader in the tool industry for nearly 90 years. Their experience and history of exceptional design and engineering has maintained Makita's reputation as a giant in the power tool industry. M&M Tool is especially excited about their 18v impact driver. This tool truly packs a wallop and incorporates some new and innovative features.

The tool's Makita built maximum torque motor delivers 1,330 in/lbs of serious torque in an efficient and compact size. In fact the tool is 50 percent more compact than most others in its class weighing only 3.4lbs. This design lessens operator fatigue, and the tool's ergonomic shape evens pressure throughout for comfortable, easy control. Makita also incorporated a built-in LED light to better illuminated work spaces. The tool is also built with a high quality heat-hardened steel proprietary hammer and anvil to increase it overall life and durability. Additionally, the tool has an ultra convenient electric brake for immediate stops to help minimize kickback.

Makita's 18v impact driver utilizes lithium ion battery technology and an exclusive charging system that optimizes battery life and allows for 2.5x more cycles. Makita's exclusive 30 minute rapid charger communicates with a chip built-in to the battery to optimize its performance. Throughout the charging process the battery and charger communicate to maximize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature within the battery. Makita's BTD141 18v lithium ion cordless impact driver includes two lithium ion batteries, Makita's rapid optimum battery charger, a tool belt hook, plastic battery cover, and tool case for extra security. The tool is also backed with Makita's quality reputation, three year factory warranty on the tool, and one warranty on the batteries and charger.

Makita 18v LXT Lithium Ion cordless Angle Impact Driver: Although Makita's angle driver packs a little less punch than its brothers, this tool truly stands alone with its sleek, slender design and superior versatility. The Makita 18v angle impact driver is built with a uniquely compact, right angle design that is ideal for fastening and loosening in tight spaces.

The tool is powered by a hard-hitting Makita built motor and impact mechanism that delivers 531in/lbs of maximum torque and 0-3,000 impacts per minute (IPM). The tool comes with a variable speed mechanism (0-2,000 RPM) for a huge range of applications from auto and home repairs to professional installation. For enhanced comfort on the job, the driver also has a soft grip handle and a large, convenient paddle switch for easier operation. Additionally, the tool has an over 12in extension capacity providing the extra reach necessary to work in deep and tight spaces. Makita has also designed this power tool with a built-in LED light to illuminate work spaces to ensures operator precision. To maximize convenience Makita has also added belt clip mounts on either side of the tool, and a phosphorescent bumper ring, like a beacon, to help locate the tool in dark work areas. Makita's 18v angle impact driver utilizes the same Makita battery and charger technology as the BTD041 providing superior power and battery life.

No tool compares to Makita's uniquely compact, convenient and versatile angle impact driver. It is powerful, durable and efficient - and because of its slim cordless design and over one-foot extension, the tool has superior maneuverability. With this driver kit Makita includes a tool belt clip (with screw), a convenient and secure contractor bag, two 18v lithium ion 3.0ah batteries, a 30 minute rapid optimum charger, and a plastic battery cover. The tool is also backed with a three year factory warranty, and one year warranty on the batteries and charger. Makita's impact drivers are also available to purchase separate from their kits (BTL061Z, BTD141Z).

Can a high powered (7amp), corded hammer drill handle tihs?

I have a 7 amp, corded, electric 1/2 Dewalt Hammer Drill.

I made a custom jig to help me tunnel underneath the driveway to put conduit underneath.

I took a 3" diameter piece of pipe that is 6" in length and with a torch/angle grinder I cut 6 large sharp teeth at one end.

On the other end(threaded end) with a combination of bushings/nipples i reduced the 3" down to 1"

Then from the female 1"end of the bushing I attached a 1" Diameter pipe that is 10' long.

Then at the end of the 10' pipe, i welded a piece of 1/2 drill rod (centered) so it will fit in the 1/2 chuck of the drill.

My plan is to tunnel a 3" hole under the driveway which is 10' wide by taking out small amounts at a time, emptying , then repeating.

a) Do you think a drill has enough torque to do this ( Im not plannning on doing this all in one shot, just slow 6" increments)

b) Do you think the 3" steel pipe with teeth will tunnell ok?

Thanks

you will burn it up and remember there is gravel under there. go rent a auger for the day dig a hole big enough for it to lay sideways with the bit and all tape the switch and push with youre feet. thats how the cable company got under my driveway

Tool Combo Kit

Best DIY Pneumatic Nailer combo kit.?

I'm in the market to get a good Pneumatic nailer combo kit. This Christmas I received an battery powered DeWalt nailer. While I own numerous DeWalt power tools I don't think the battery powered Nailer can compete with a Pneumatic. I was wondering which combo it is the best bang for the buck. I want it to do smaller in-home duties like crown molding, base boards, and maybe fence repair...etc.

These are the companies that I'm comparing... DeWalt, Porter Cable, Bostitech. Any advise will be appreciated.

My framing nailer is Bostitch and all finish,brad and staplers are Porter Cable. We also use both Porter Cable and DeWalt air compressors. All of these are at least five years old and are used daily no problems with either brand. Bostitch and Porter Cable have goods buys on sets with compressor and two or three types of nailer's. Check out the box stores.
We also use a lot of DeWalt tools but not any pneumatic.

How Can I Pick A Tool?

If I want to go shopping, I want to go shopping for a new dress, not a drill. But I decided to buy my husband a tool for Christmas and I was very happy that I could get all the help I needed in this department from Black and Decker. A friend had suggested that the Black and Decker Firestorm tool combo kit would be the perfect Christmas gift, so I decided to go for it.

I decided to go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, black Friday, and as soon as I talked to the salesperson at Sears, I knew that my friend was right, the Black and Decker Firestorm tool combo kit was the ideal gift. And since this day was full of wonderful sales, the price was great at less than $170. I had been thinking about the Craftsman drill that had a trim saw and flashlight that cost about $160, but now I could get a tool with so many more features for almost the same price.

This tool kit is a handyman's dream. The plastic case I carried out of the store had a huge assortment of cordless tools and accessories, all at a fraction of what they would have cost individually. I had a hard time carrying this big heavy kit, but I knew it would be worth the effort once I saw my husband open his present.

Of course, I had to hide this great gift for almost a month until Christmas arrived. I hid it carefully, but my husband pokes into everything in the house, so I just hoped he would not find it before the holidays.

All of the struggle to get the tool in the car and hidden for all that time was well worth it when he opened the present. He was absolutely thrilled with his new toy.

The one feature of the Black and Decker Firestorm collection that my husband finds a use for almost every day is the cordless drill. He also loves the reciprocating saw and the trim saw so much that he looks around for stuff to cut. I have to keep everything out of his way. The kit also comes with a powered screwdriver and a flashlight. We found out the hard way how important it is to have a flashlight around when you are doing construction. It would have helped us find lots of hidden wires when we were in the middle of our home remodeling.

The only problem is that my husband wants to use this tool every chance he gets, so he has no patience waiting for the battery to recharge. So now he has to plan his projects a little better so he does some cutting or drilling and then gives it a rest while he plans or takes a break.

This is by far the best gift I have given my husband, and I don't know if I am going to be able to outdo myself next year.

Hex Shank

Caprenter's pencil sharpener/drill bit?

I've seen before, (a friend had one) a Carpenter's pencil sharpener that had a 1/4" locking hex shank at the end (So you can slip it into a quick-change drill and sharpen your pencil quickly. I've looked, but I've never been able to find one for myself. Does anyone know who makes them, or where I may be able to find them online?
A carpenter-pencil sharpener is not what I'm having trouble finding, its one with a drill bit shank in the bottom so you can put it in your drill a spin it around your pencil.

Go to a Home Improvement Store and ask if they carry them !!

The Pros and Cons of the Fein Multimaster Tool

I like this specific Fein Multimaster Tool. I just upgraded from the prior model ( MSXE 636-2 variable speed ). I won't go into why this specific tool is so great because everyone else has already done that. Instead I am going to compare this specific tool to its precedent.
PROS :
This is now a perfect tool. Fein Multi Tool has elegantly fixed the minor gripes I had with the previous generation of the tool. My gripes were 1. Blades slipping and two. Slow blade-changes using the ungainly hex-key that always felt like it was going to cam-out and ruin the lock nut. The new star shank on the blades completely gets rid of any possibility of slippage, and changing blade, or repositioning it to get into a tight spot no longer requires a trip back to the tool box to get the hex wrench. This enables you to attach tiny accessories such as a fence, a depth gauge, a rail guide etc . This opens up a large amount of flexibleness on an already very flexible tool. I also like the more ergonomic shape and rubber grip on the new design.

The new machine is a little bit louder than the old one, maybe thanks to the more powerful motor, although it's louder even on the lowest speed setting. To be truthful I am just making an attempt to find something to say on the con side.

OTHER COMPARISONS :
I do basically prefer some of the aspects of my old unit's metal case & divider system. The new case can basically hold more things but it does not organize the contents as well as the old case did. You can still buy the OLD case, but I am sure I am able to easily make the new case as functional as the old case by adding some tiny dividers etc. If FEIN had put a divider system in the new case, it would've been a perfect redesign in my view. If the less expensive, faster, divider-less case is an element of that profitability strategy, I pardon them.

Fein Blades COST :

As you may know, the blades for this device are rather dear but Fein is now group-packing blades for meaningfully lower cost than before. Basically three packs for the price of two, and ten packs for the cost of 6. This helps. So now I'm able to keep ONE blade of SEVERAL types and yet affordably buy many blades of the ONE type I 'consume' continually. I've lately also seen OEM blades on eBay which are cheaper than the FEIN blades, but I have never basically attempted them.

This is definitely one of my favourite tools, and I HIGHLY counsel it. Everyone who watches me use mine buys one for themselves.
If you're the owner of an older model, an upgrade is worthwhile if you use the tool with ANY regularity. The upgrade cost me a mere $100 because I sold my old one ( with blades & Fein Accessories ) on eBay.

Cordless Reciprocating

What volt/amp makes a good strength RECIPROCATING SAW ?

I'm buying one for a gift. Have NO clue if a 10 volt is ok, or if I should pay double for an 18 volt ? They also want a cordless one. Is it better to buy the 'pack' or buy tool & ...is it 'battery' or 'charger' seperately ?This is for 'around the house' projects.... it's not being used by a professional handyman or anything. Although I was told that they wanted a 'heavy duty' one.... but what's enuf rpms, or whatever they're called ? :)
I've read anywhere from 0-2000 but I've seen saws with 2500 and 3000 also. What's overkill on this ?
thanks in advance !

William has excellent suggestion, 18 volt cordless is perfect for home use, try to find a sale with two batteries. Porter Cable is the best sawzall I ever used, Milwaukee is sufficient.

Reciprocating Saws รข?? the Jig Saws Mean Big Brother

The reciprocating saw is an adaptation of the saber saw, or jig saw, for heavy duty work such as construction. In this article I'll cover the types available as well as blade types and their uses.

Reciprocating saws range widely in power, speed, and features, from less powerful portable, to high-power, high-speed, corded models. Modern reciprocating saws almost all have variable speed, using a trigger or preset using a dial. Another feature that has become important to the way these saws are used is the inclusion of an orbital action. The action consists of oscillating the traversed reciprocation in up and down fashion causing the tip of the blade to move in an oval pattern, up and down as well as back and forth. This feature is primarily for wood, allowing quick cuts.

The blades for these saws are range in length from 2 ½ to 12 inches, and are generally heavier than saber and jig saw blades. They range in purpose from cutting metal and wood as well as manner of materials in between.

Blade Types

Course Tooth – Typically used for cutting green wood.

Hack Saw – Used to cut metal, typically up to 1/8 inch in thickness.

Knife – This blade has the greatest range of uses. It cuts leather, rubber, cloth, linoleum, and many more similar materials.

Fine-tooth – When a smooth cut is need for wood, plastic, or hardboard this is the one for the job.

In many models, blades may be mounted to cut up, down, or horizontally, and flush with an adjoining surface. In structural work and remodeling, long blades are sometimes used to cut right through a wall, after of course making sure wire or plumbing won't be damaged. Blades for such use can cut right through any nails they encounter. Blades manufactured specifically for cutting heavier metal, such as pipe or bar stock, need to be lubricated regularly with light oil.

These saws today almost always come with variable speed control. Speeds range from around 2300 strokes per minute down to a few hundred (for cutting steel and some plastics).

Picking the right saw for your own use really depends on the type of job(s) you intend to accomplish. A larger, more robust model is probably overkill for most around the home projects and not to mention the price for these puts them out of reach of most budgets. The smaller, lightweight, more affordable versions on the market today offer the typical handyman more then enough versatility to handle any "honey-do" list.

There you have it. Reciprocating saws are not for everyday use in most cases, but having one in your tool box is a smart decision for the avid do-it-yourselfer. Just remember to choose the right for your needs, and above use it and any power tool in a safe and controlled manner.
