Hey guys, havent been paying much attention lately to tool news etc. But the new year as me wanting to step my tool game up a bit. Being cleaning the van out and deciding what I can upgrade, and outta my cordless tools the dcp580 has been my biggest let down. I cant use this thing without it bogging up and I've no back up planer. I've tried my friends makita and it works way better but I dont wanna jump platforms. Any plans for a newer version does anyone know or anyone even having this same issue?

I just sent 2 dcn 660s back to my tool supplier only 1 month short of 3 years old. Neither gun working ,suspected worn driver assemblies and both are covered under warranty. I am in Australia and was surprised by this as I thought it would be classed as wear and tear.
My older ones are still under 3 year warranty. They must have stopped it not too long ago.

1 year standard. 3 year with registration online within 30 days of purchase

Have dewalt lost faith in there own tools or what? I just registered a new nail gun and it showed up standard warranty so emailed support to be told they no longer offer extended warranty on nail guns

Ive been on to them. They are willing to sort it out just hassle for me getting it to them and the repair guy seems to be having as much trouble as me in identifying the actual part. Its difficult to make out on any of the part sites that show an exploded view of the drill

As u can see from the 3 pictures. In picture 1 the door stays shut and in picture 2 i have to physically keep it open as its on a spring and picture 3 u can see the connection that needs to go in once its in the open position but it basically just knocks into it and it stays closed. I will also add a picture of the drill base to which looks like something is missing

Hi guys being a while since i posted..
I just received some tools back from a makita registered repair centre today. Im based in Dublin Ireland and my makita dhr243 hammer drill which came with a vac attachment was one of them. Well the drill seems to be working fine but the vac will no longer attach to it, seems the base of the drill is missing something which opens up a spring loaded door if thats what u wanna call it. I will attach some pictures to show what i mean and basically i just need someone to point me in the direction of which part it is i need as i cant figure it out on any of the parts sites.
Thanks in advance

Good stuff. Need it with these dark mornings and evenings

Any European release date for this?
A lot of newer releases seem to be way behind or not even coming to Europe lately. Flexvolt compressor also hasn't seem to hit Europe.

Big rotary lasers only. Not the laser you are going to use if you are remodeling a kitchen.
Yes I've looked into it today. Your correct, only the big rotary one in Europe anyway. It's actually the smaller green 12v that I was interested in. I will have to bump it down a couple of places on my wishlist till we hopefully have this cleared up or an 20v announced
-
Do 20v max lasers exist? Or did I read something wrong, I know about the 12v which I was actually putting money aside for, so im glad I stumbled across this thread.

I held of getting the jigsaw for a while because I want a brushless one, but then I got one and it is brilliant. It is really nicely made I love the blade release mechanism, blower function and quick change bevel angle. A cordless jigsaw is actually a really great tool you wouldn't think it needs to be cordless but when you are cutting around corners etc you don't have to worry about running over the cord and the cord twisting all over the place. Anyway the moral of the story is the current Dewalt jigsaw is great and don't be silly like me and hold off buying it as the current one becaise you are missing out
I actually own the makita brushless barrel grip. Good jigsaw but has two really annoying things about it, soft start which doesn't speed up till feels pressure against the blade which is sometimes a nuisance to trigger in lighter materials, on/off switch which requires a second hand to turn off. I only mentioned the dewalt because it is one of the more popular tools that hasn't made the transition to brushless yet

...why...
Why brushless anything? Longer runtime, probably more power and no brushes
-
Brushless jigsaw would be a nice addition also. Pretty much have brushless covered then do they? Well including flexvolt that is
-
Have u a template for this or is it handy to do myself. Im brutal with computers

Funny that, my new shorty rail for my HKC came broken too. What the heck?!?!?!?!
Turns out wasnt the only F UP with my order, i also recieved what i thought was the ets ec150 sander to realise id been sent the standard non brushless version ets150 although the invoice states ive been charged for the dearer brushless version. Ive had this since thursday but been too busy to realise only i sat down today to register for warranty. Worse again ive work booked in this week where i could have done with it.

Instead of using the bag in the dust port you use the vac in the dust port.
Your misunderstanding me or my explanation is bad. I mean the bag inside the vac. Should i use it or not

@Turner85 I would use a vac because the harmful dust is the dust you can't see. Also would be less cleanup if the vac gets the chips.
I plan on using it, i was wondering should i take the bag out though as its gonna fill rapid

Purchased my first and second ever festool tools lastnight. Should receive by the end of the week

Not specifically a question for festool users but ive just ordered the ctm36 ac hd and was wondering what people do while planing doors. Stay bagged or go bagless since its not entirely dusty work especially when planing down pine doors. I mean the way some door frames are fitted i end up planing a ton off doors. I could fill a black refuse bag with shavings some days. I didnt order the vac just for this purpose, but since my cordless dewalt planer blocks almost constantly with pine even while taking the bare minimum off im gonna need to connect it up to the vac and dont wanna fill bags with shavings in no time

Lesson Learned guys Secure Your Investment and Livelyhood.
Happens to the best of us. I was stolen from 3 times in 2016 out the work truck.
Cant get insurance for your tools in Ireland unfortunately. Only thing u can do is alarm and secure your van to the best of your ability. You'd nearly want a german shepherd in the back over here
Do dewalt plan on an updated xr planer?
in Dewalt

I have and yes it helps but I still get clogged up more than I'd like.
