    Don't forget the Ford cordless tools... Rebranded Chicago Electric which might be a rebrand of another and built by who knows.... Harbor freight special

     

    They are made by NINE HKG Ltd.: https://www.ford-tools.com/index.php?act=about

    Yep, you're totally right. Cells in series only combine voltage, so it's the number of rows  that counts.

     

    Had me puzzled for a minute there!

    have now edited my post to say 2 rows of cells in parallel, to avoid any confusion. That's a better way to describe it, so thanks.

    Only 2 cells? You mean two rows of cells?

    For this calculation, where you know the total current discharge rate from the battery pack only the number of cells in parallel matters as they have to share the total current discharge between them regardless of how many cells are in series. But yes it has 10 cells in total in a 5S2P configuration (2 parallel rows of 5 cells).

    Bosch say the new battery makes your 18v tool as powerful as a corded 1500w motor tool

     

    1500 W / 18 V = 83.3 A

    EneRacer has 2 rows of cells in parallel, so that's 83.3 A / 2 = 41.7 A discharge rate per cell 1500 W.

    However the datasheet for Panasonic NCR20700A hasn't listed any specifications above 30 A discharge rate: http://akkuplus.de/mediafiles/Datenblatt/Panasonic/Panasonic_NCR20700A.pdf

  5. Bosch 6.0 Ah batteries use regular 18650 cells, while their 6.3 Ah EneRacer battery switches to 20700 cells, like Metabo LiHD [max. 6.2 Ah] batteries, the newest cordless power tool batteries from Panasonic themselves and the upcoming 6 Ah XR and 9Ah FlexVolt batteries from DeWALT.

     

    Pictures of Metabo LiHD, the new DeWalt XR 6-0 Ah + FlexVolt 9-0 Ah and Bosch EneRacer GBA 18V 6.3 Ah battery packs which all use 20700 cells instead of the usual 18650 cells.

    Dimensions:

    18650 cells: diameter 18 mm; length 65 mm.

    20700 cells: diameter 20 mm; length 70 mm.

    Tesla will switch from 18650 cells to 21700 cells for the upcoming Model 3, previously they said 20700, but they have changed it to 21700 or 2170 as they call it.

    Thanks, however none of your links to individual posts works correctly. They all just redirects to the start of this topic instead of the individual posts they are supposed to link to.

    I have edited all the links to work correctly below, could you please edit your original post to copy/paste the working links below instead of your links? Thanks.

    Couple inches wider! That's a lot! I use my regular cordless drill with hole saws and it's narrow enough to really get in some tricky spots, couple inches wider is a real deal killer

    If you use Spyder hole saws, the plugs are even easier to remove, with their Rapid Core Eject feature. Aviable as both TCT (Tungsten Carbide-Tipped), Bi-Metal HSS, and HSS+. Their Rapid Core Eject feature also makes it much easier to remove plugs in their bi-metal versions compared to regular bi-metal hole saws. http://www.spyderproducts.com/toolpages/spyder-hole-saw/

     

     

    They look identical to the Australian Sutton Tools tungsten carbide tipped hole saws except for the color:


    Sutton product website: http://www.sutton.com.au/product-category/trade-diy/trade-holesaws/trade-holesaws-tct/ 


    The Italian CMT Orange Tools and Dutch ProFit Holesaws also has a very similar system. The CMT and ProFit looks identical except for the color:

    http://www.cmtutensili.com/show_items.asp?pars=HS~~1
    Also offering bore enlargement by piggy-backing two different sized cups:

    products-multi-purpose_41_o.jpg

     

     

     

     


    The CMT and ProFit cups looks identical to Sutton Tools and Spyder Products, so it's not unlikely they're all made by the same manufacturer. But the CMT and ProFit quick release looks a bit different than Spyder Products and Sutton Tools.

     

    Here's a very nice in-depth review of the Spyder tungsten carbide-tipped hole saws by locksmith Wayne Winton (https://wayneslockshop.com). He also has reviews of other carbide tipped hole saws like Bosch.

     

    He also has this Ultimate Guide To Hole Saw Bits For Drilling Wood, Steel, Stainless Steel, Stone, Masonry,Concrete

    Hey guys, just saw this! I've got the X2. Awesome machine!

     

     

     

    Thanks for the videos ChrisK, but why are your videos marked as hidden so nobody can find and watch them on YouTube without a direct link?

     

    What's your impressions of the Bosch 12V FL12B / 10.8V GLI DeciLED worklight you use in this video? Have you done a video on this worklight too?

  9. I just noticed there's an update on the power button issue in the written review:

    http://www.toolboxbuzz.com/cordless-tools/table-saw-cordless-tools/dewalt-cordless-table-saw-review/

    Quote

    UPDATE ON POWER SWITCH

    Further testing showed that the red “Stop” lever was the cause, not the power switch.  After turning on the saw, the red stop lever would drop too hard onto the stop button and turn the saw off.   After conferring with the product manager at Dewalt, it was determined that the red stop lever spring force was too high.  The units we tested was from a “manufacturing sample lot.”  MSL’s are the first time the plant does a big run of the product and Dewalt then has time to refine and make adjustments, before the tool goes to production.

    The green button works fine for me so far. Not sure what review you are mentioning. It's a simple switch so there is a possibility it could have a finicky one.

    The review I linked to above. It's mentioned in both the written review and the video review:

    http://www.toolboxbuzz.com/cordless-tools/table-saw-cordless-tools/dewalt-cordless-table-saw-review/

    Quote

    Improvements

    The power switch is a bit finicky.  I noticed this at their media event and also when using the saw.  A quick press of the on button does not work and it seems that you have to press the button for a few seconds.  Additionally, you need to push this button straight on and not at an angle to work.  My guess is That Dewalt will work this out in time.

     

    At 6:38 in this video he also complained about the green button not working properly and sometimes it didn't even turn on:

    I'm astounded that there are capacitors in the tool!

    Of course there are. Brushless tools are full of electronics. You need a lot of electronics to run a brushless motor at variable speeds.

    Oh goody. I just picked up the 60v table saw and I smile every time I push the little green button. 3.0ah battery will definitely help, especially with the 36 tooth FlexVolt blade or the 40 tooth Freud.

    Does your green button work better than in the review above?

  13. I always think of Treehouse Masters whenever I see a stud drill.

    The Nelson Treehouse and Supply crew on Animal Planet's Treehouse Masters use a corded one in every episode to install TABs (Treehouse Attachment Bolt).

    I'm sure treehouse builders would like a cordless version since many treehouse constructions are in remote locations far from any outlet.

    Found the link to the Tool Box Buzz / Concord Carpenter written review here: http://www.toolboxbuzz.com/cordless-tools/table-saw-cordless-tools/dewalt-cordless-table-saw-review/

    Dual Power? – NOT YET!

    I’m a fan of all Dewalt table saws, but the best feature of this saw is obviously that it’s cordless.

    At the Dewalt media event I inquired whether an accessory power cord was in the making, so users could plug into a power outlet for AC current.  Having both options would be nice.

    The dual option would be handy on construction sites with no power.  On these sites contractors often compete with extension cords for a generator outlet.  Having a cordless option for these situations would be amazing, later on, when the house has power, you could plug in.

    According to Dewalt, the cost for an AC adaptor /cord similar to the miter saw accessory, would be substantial as the electrical current needs to be converted from 60v to 120V.

    Dewalt is currently working on a 60v to 120V adaptor but it is still about 9 months or more away. [Jan 2017]

    Just watched a video about the FlexVolt table saw and the guy mentioned Dewalt is working on a power adapter for the table saw. He said look out for it in 9 months or so. The video was posted on August 5th...

    Do you have a link to that video?

    In Australia, we have AEG to your Ridgid and Stanley to your Porter Cable.

    It's the same here in Europe with AEG and Stanley. TTI has paid for the rights to use the AEG name (for power tools only), just like they have paid to use the Ryobi name. Swedish  home appliance giant Electrolux owns the AEG brand and still use the AEG brand to market some of their whitegoods and vacuum cleaners.

     

    Also Mafell rebadges some Metabo tools.

    Festool rebadges som Mafell routers.

    CMT rebadges Triton and DeWalt routers.

    Bauhaus rebadges some Wera screwdrivers for their house brand Wisent.

    Honda rabadges EGO Power+ outdoor equipment.

    And so forth.

    It's odd some are very clearly DeWalt While others are Hitachi looking batteries.

     

    It's the same with the big European tool supplier Berner. Their  14.4V and 18V lines are rebadged Milwaukee. While both their 10.8V line and 36V lines are rebadged Bosch.

    Previously Berner's 14.4V and 18V lines were rebadged DeWalt XRP stick battery tools. But when DeWalt switched from XRP stick batteries to XR slide-in batteries, Berner switched supplier from DeWalt to Milwaukee. So they have been shopping around quite a bit, having at least both DeWalt, Bosch and Milwaukee as supplier.

    I have tried to use both both a blue Berner DeWalt XRP drill and the blue Berner Milwaukee drill as I know people who have both lines.
