converting a DW932 cordless joiner to a XR battery housing (e.g. DCG412 housing)

[midogrumpy]

Hi

 

topic says it all !

 

I have a cordless dewalt joiner DW932 (almost new, seldom used) with housing for 18v stem batteries

I was wondering if I can convert the tool to a XR battery housing ?

 

e.g. using the housing of a dcg412 grinder

 

 

I think this was done before, but I lost track/ never followed up;

 

Any EXPERIANCE / tips or tricks

 

This would be a great tool , as Dewalt does not make this 

 

 

thx

for help & hints

I saw this on a tweet from TIA earlier that's pretty cool they did that!

Definitely breathes some new life into older tools. I have quite a few older tools that still work fine. I like this!

wow, never thought I'd see the day. Wonder why they've waited so many years though?

Now that the people they could get to switch already got rid of their old tools its time to grab everyone who stuck around before they switch brands.

Smart move either way. Gives people the ability to mix and match new tools and old ones now.

yup and it only took a couple years though....lol sorry I had to I love Dewalt they just lag...

And it allows Dewalt the option to severely limit production of 18v tools which was kind of predicted when the introduced the 20v line. Here's a link to Stuart's site, really interesting!!!

Thanks for posting the article chrisk! I'm not gonna lie I feel kinda posses that they waited so long after u got rid of all my 18v tools I would've kept them around if I knew this was coming...

Yeah, I'm not sure if it was designed as a marketing ploy but when you look at the quality of all Dewalt tools and throw in their premier 20v lineup with all of the bells and whistles it makes sense that they would (at least as it appears by me) to Segway out of the 18v lineup. Fuel gauges, brushless motors etc...
