FrosBros82 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 So this got dropped off by the Milwaukee rep... I guess I have not done too much research on it. Does anyone have any info (good or bad) on it? Thanks, FB82 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 If you can't find a use for it you could drop it off at my place haha. Don't have much info on it but it's on my short list of tools to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrosBros82 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think it should get put into action within the next week or so. I will be very curious on the performance and runtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I just got one the other day and i havent been able to really test it but after playing with it a little I've found a couple small annoyances. First thing the collet is almost impossible to get to release short of a vise and/or hammer. Second is the collet requires a 11/16" and 1/2" wrench to release. Which you would think is a nice standard size but they didn't machine enough of a slot to fit a normal 1/2" wrench. Instead it's only wide enough for there cheap little spanner wrench which will be lost or not there when you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Bummer, sad to hear about your issues with it. I was thinking that would be a pretty cool toy to get, but maybe I’ll just stick with pneumatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'm hoping that with some use the collet wedge will loosen up a bit. The wrench thing I've found that some wrenches fit but the first 3 I tried didnt, I'm sure it will be fixed by taking a grinder and widening the slot a 1/16th". It just not something I want to do on my new toy, I'll let it get a few scratches first haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I try to keep all the wrenches that come with tools in either a specific drawer or with the tool itself. For routers they stay with the router accessories, same for the drill press. My Rotozip has them in the bag with the tool and accessories. Others sit in my extra wrench drawer. Maybe store it with the bits? You need the bits and the wrench at the same time, might as well keep them in the same place. Organized => more efficient and less likely to lose things you need.

I guess I don't know your level of experience so I don't know if this will offend you or not, sorry if it does. You are tapping the burr/attachment in toward the collet first to get it release, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 None taken, I'm always open to info. But yep I've had pneumatic die grinders for awhile and while I can't say I've never had a bit get stuck. Like you say you give the end a tap and it releases which is why it was a little annoying when the fuel didn't release that easily. Maybe it's something wrong with my die grinder but I pulled the wedge out and I don't see anything obviously wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Well I think I figured out why my collet wasn't releasing right. I didn't realize it but the wedge part was under the nut instead of being locked into the nut. Now when I back off the nut it actually helps pulls the wedge out and it's no longer an issue.
