  3. Cordless nailer questions

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    Couldn't a cordless nail gun run off automotive gasoline? Why must you buy special fuel for it?

     

    Then you could just run this fuel in the same fuel that you would use if you were running a generator, for example. And the fuel is AWFULLY EXPENSIVE!! I've tried the DCN692 and wow what an under powered pile of crap. Tried the Paslode CF325 lithium ion cordless gun and it works much better but the FUEL is the main problem. Batteries are fine.

  4. Another comparison: Dewalt DWS535 vs Skilsaw SPT77WM

    I will be posting these kinds of topics often, so bear with me. 

     

    For professional construction, which one seems better? 

     

    DWS535: (NOT DWS535T) 

     

    - Known motor power (2.8 horsepower, 2100W) 

    - 2-7/16" Deep max cut depth 

    - 4800 RPM vs 5300 RPM - more torque 

    - Heavier than the Skilsaw 

    - Motor looks bigger 

    - Two stator windings as opposed to four in the Bosch/Skilsaw 

     

    SPT77WM (Equiv. to Bosch CSW41): 

     

    - Unknown motor power, possibly smaller (2.7 horsepower??) 

    - 2-3/8" Depth of cut

    - 5300 RPM - Fastest blade speed of any worm drive I've ever seen, but less torque given possibly-smaller motor and same gear ratio (5:1 reduction - I can determine the speeds of most universal motors just by listening to them) 

    - Four stator windings as opposed to two in the Dewalt - Bosch/Skilsaw says this motor runs cooler, but I don't know. 

     

    If any of you could add more pros and cons to this, that would be great. 

  5. Dewalt DWE575 vs Skilsaw SPT67WM-22

    Where the Skilsaw wins: 

     

    4 stator windings, 2 on each side (as opposed to most other manufacturers which use 1 field winding on each side) 

    Depth gauge (no big deal for me, we like to use our eyes and check with the piece we're cutting) 

    Faster blade speed 

    Vari-Torque blade clutch (stall protection) 

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Where the Dewalt wins: 

     

    Power of motor is known (2.6 hp motor when it's not connected to the gears, just the motor spinning by itself.) 

    Color (looks nice with almost any blade)

    57 degree bevel capacity vs 56 degrees for the Skilsaw (still a big deal for us) 

    Bevel stop at 22.5 degrees 

    1/8" deeper depth of cut 

     

    Same weight as the Skilsaw 

     

    But I'd still like other people to give their opinions.

    I have the dewilt sidewinder its ok nothing special i threw on a concrete blade and use it for stupid shit and i seen on one of the guys at work the little nob thing to lift the gardblade broke off when it was just sitten on the ground and i hit it with my foot honestly i can say from experience iv seen more dewilts break then any other tool there really dont make them that tough maybe dewily is home owner tough but not jobsite tough

    Best bet is skilsaw sidewinder or warmdrive or a makita hypoid or even makita brushless 6.5 cordless or the milwaukee 6.5 brushless

    Maybe the guys just got a bad one. As I said, I've seen a lot of the two saws DWE575(SB) on jobsites, along with Makitas. 

     

    Apparently, DWE575's ARE jobsite-tough. If they weren't, why would I go once to a jobsite and see many people using it and go again a week later to see that people are still using it? In fact on one jobsite there was a DWE575 and a 5007F and the guy just used the DWE575 while leaving the 5007F alone on the ground.

    Just wondering, which one of these saws would be best for professional work? 

     

    Just these two (DWE575 and SPT67WM), yes Dewalt and Makita are the most popular (on most jobsites that I've been to) for building houses and that sort of stuff. 

     

    I would greatly appreciate it if you could give feedback, such as pros and cons of each, experiences*, thoughts, and other things. 

     

    *I know that many tool brands are getting a lot of hate thrown at them, including Dewalt. Please do not disparage or "trash" any brand in any way.
