DEWALT DWD 460 RIGHT ANGLE DRILL WITH BIND-UP CONTROL

Dewalt is launching its new 1/2″ stud and joist drill which is model number DWD460. According to Dewalt the drill is built to drill large holes in wood using hole saws, ship auger bits and self-feed bits.

One interesting feature Dewalt has provided on this drill is a Bind-up Control™. This feature provides increased user control in bind up and stall situations. Anyone who has had a powerful drill bind up, knows that this new feature, if it works correctly, will be nice. By the sounds of it the Bind-Up Control senses stalls and binds and then adjusts the motor’s torque to make the drill manageable. A user will know this by an indicator light.

Over all this drill seems like a work horse. It has an 11 amp motor. There is a two speed variable control that is 0-300 and 1-1300 RPM. As you would expect this drill has an adjustable bail and side handle, plus anti slip grip. According to Dewalt it has a knuckle guard for hand protection, but again we haven’t seen this drill, so we can not comment if this knuckle guard is a gimmick or practical.

DEWALT DWS520K TRACK SAW

When you need a seriously straight cut, one with advanced accuracy and precision, when you need a tool to deliver smooth, seamless cuts and effortlessly smooth edges - look no further than a track saw. This saw is specifically built for perfect cutting accuracy in a more simple, more efficient design. With innovative features and technology, a track saw not only fills the shoes of traditional panel and circular saws, but bursts them at the seams. Especially designed for the accurate, precise, and quick cuts you won't get from any other product, the track saw is a titan among power cutting tools.

A track saw is a circular saw that runs on a track. This saw track, or guide, technology provides a built in straight edge to deliver the smoothest, finest cuts. The tool offers a wide range of cutting innovations; its plunge cut feature allows craftsmen to cut directly into the center (or off center) of materials, and is especially helpful in applications like cutting windows out of complete pieces. Some track saws feature a depth control gauge that allows users to set depth level to the thickness of their materials to prevent damaging any material below. Some track saws feature a variable speed option for optimal accuracy and precision - and most saws work with a number of blade sizes. The track saw is ideal for serious woodworkers and sets a new standard in the world of cabinet building and basic contracting. Rumblings have been heard of a Makita track saw emerging in Canada, but as yet the best track saws still come straight from their birthplace - Germany's Festool. DEWALT has also, as of November, 2008, released their new track saw, nipping at the heals of Festool's guarded innovation.

Over forty years ago Festool invented the plunge saw and guide rail system, otherwise known as the track saw. Throughout those forty years Festool has perfected that technology in their TS 55 and TS 75 EQ plunge cut circular saws. These tools are equip with an unchallenged guide rail system that exemplifies Festool's philosophy of innovation. The TS 55 sets a new standard for portable circular saws. Festool has refined the tool into something lighter, simpler to handle, and with more accuracy than ever before. The tool features Festool's FastFix blade change technology for easier, faster, and safer blade changes. It is also designed with a retractable spring-loaded riving knife that keeps wood separated as it passes through the saw for superior kickback prevention. Festool's plunge cut circular saw incorporates a supreme dust collection system for a cleaner, safer work space, and also triple motor bearings for maximum durability. The tool is powerful and smooth, strong and accurate, and incorporates the safety and stand-alone design Festool is known for.

The TS 55 has a 55 mm cutting depth providing nearly two inches of cutting capacity when used with the guide rail (on the rail the TS 55 has a straight down cut depth of 1 15/16 in (50 mm), and 1 7/16 in (37 mm) at 45 degrees - without the guide rail the saw has a straight down cut depth of 2 1/8 in (55 mm)). The tool's plunge action feature allows for more precise cut outs on wood surfaces and flooring. The saw, even with its size (9.92 lbs) and brute strength, is supremely accurate, and smoother than any in its class. The circular saw has a .787 in arbor size and a 0 - 45 degree bevel capacity. Festool's TS 55 plunge cut circular saw includes a 55 in (1,400 mm) guide rail and a 48-tooth high-quality carbide blade (6 ¼ in diameter, with a saw blade speed of 2,000 - 5,200 RPM). The saw also includes a limit stop, plug-it power cord, a splinterguard, and Festool's SYS 4 systainer. The TS 75 is an incredibly powerful plunge cut saw with Festool's famous pin-point accuracy. The saw can cut through material up to 2 ¾ in thick and leaves smooth edges that are both burn and splinter free - clean enough to glue without any further preparation. The powerful TS 75 can cut through solid doors like a devouring predator; its capable of truing the roughest lumber, and cutting out ornate window frames among many other applications. With this saw one can create exactly matching panels and save serious time by slicing stacked sheets of stock with only one cut. This saw is truly the crème de la crème of circular saws - experience one smooth, powerful cut with this tool and you're hooked.

The TS 75 has a 1.101 in arbor and a 0 - 45 degree bevel capacity. The saw weighs 13.6 lbs and includes a 75 in (1,900 mm) guide rail. The saw has a commanding 1,350 - 3,550 RPM blade speed and comes with 8 ¼ diameter blades in 48 and 36-tooth. On the guide rail the TS 75 has a straight down cut depth of 2 ¾ in (70 mm) and 2 1/8in (55 mm) cut depth at 45 degrees. Without the guide rail the saw has a 2 15/16 in (75 mm) straight down cut depth. The tool also includes Festool's limit stop, plug-it power cord, splipclutch, splinterguard, and SYS 5 systainer. The Festool TS 55 and TS 75 exemplify Festool's dedication to innovation and superiority. The tools are backed with Festool's unrivaled reputation of quality and design, and their three year (limited) warranty.

Milwaukee® Introduces New M18 Cordless 4-1/2" Cut-Off / Grinder

Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation expands its LITHIUM-ION system with the introduction of the new M18 Cordless 4-1/2" Cut-Off / Grinder. Built with a Milwaukee® 4-pole motor, the 2680-22 delivers maximum power when cutting or grinding, and it is the only cordless cut-off / grinder to offer the user-preferred paddle switch.

"Milwaukee is committed to providing solutions to the end-user to make their job easier," says Rick Gambaccini, Sr. Product Manager-Cordless of Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. "We have not only created a tool that out performs the competitors, but we have implemented the widely preferred paddle switch design for comfort and ease of use."

Additionally, L-shape intake vents keep harmful debris from entering the tool and damaging internal components. The M18 Cordless 4-1/2" Cut-Off / Grinder also features Overload Protection to prevent damage in abusive situations. Together, these features provide durability that allows the tool to stand up to harsh job site conditions.
Backed by a 5-Year/2000 charge warranty, the new Milwaukee® 18V XC High Capacity LITHIUM-ION technology features DPM(TM) - Digital Power Management to provide maximum tool life and longer run-time.

With the addition of this new tool, the M18 cordless system continues to grow and provide innovative solutions. With leading LITHIUM-ION Technology, Milwaukee® will continue to build this platform to offer industry leading balance, power and ergonomics.
