  • New DEWALT® 20V MAX* 1/2" Mid-Range Impact Wrench

    New DEWALT® 20V MAX* 1/2" Mid-Range Impact Wrench

    Nov 01, 2017 12:35 EDT New DEWALT® 20V MAX* 1/2" Mid- Range Impact Wrench TOWSON, MD (November 1, 2017) – DEWALT announces two new 20V MAX* 1/2" Mid-Range Impact Wrenches (DCF894 and DCF894H). They are available in detent pin style for users who need maximum socket retention and hog ring style, for users who value quickly being able to change sockets. Each tool is ideal for use overhead or when space is constrained in applications that require high torque including plumbing, mechanical, concrete and masonry, automotive, steel erection, and elevator repair. At 3.48 lbs. (tool only) and 6.95" to the front of the anvil, the 20V MAX* 1/2" Mid-Range Impact Wrenches are compact yet deliver high-power and torque. Each tool achieves 330 ft.-lbs. of maximum torque, 0-3,100 impacts per minute, and no-load speeds from 0-900 and 0-2,000 RPM in two mode settings (low and high) designed for use in a wide variety of applications. These applications include threaded couplings, pipe flanges, wheel lugs, and concrete anchor setting, among others. The 20V MAX* 1/2" Mid-Range Impact Wrenches also features Precision Wrench™ Control which helps sense when a bolt is getting tight and pauses before impacting to help avoid over-torque. In reverse, Precision Wrench™ Control regulates how quickly a nut or bolt is removed, helping to prevent run-off. With an efficient brushless motor that provides increased efficiency and runtime over brushed units, the tool is a powerful cordless option. In addition, the Mid-Range Impact Wrench includes a variable speed trigger and LED light to help provide visibility in low light situations.

    Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting

    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º.

    I Can Afford Only One Saw Right Now—So Which One Should I Buy, and What the Heck Is Your Hybrid-Cut

    “I Can Afford Only One Saw Right Now—So Which One Should I Buy, and What the Heck is Your Hybrid-Cut all About?” (How Bad Axe Tool Works Creates and Sharpens a Toothline) t’s early Thursday afternoon, and your PowerPoint presentation for the three o’clock meeting is done as it’s ever going to be. You’re surfing the web on your lunch break, sick of the virtual reality grind of Iyour job, and frustrated by those who answer to you or to whom you answer, because these people—coworkers and clients alike—do not share your ethos that excellence is simply not an option. Everywhere, it seems, people beg the question: “Who is John Galt?” They don’t actually say it, because they have no clue to begin with. They just live the question, day in, day out. You glance at your computer again, and shift your keyboard in place with renewed energy as you type out the URL for the website you want to visit. And you think about the project awaiting you for the weekend. You ‘ve been taking your frustrations out on the 4/4 quartersawn cherry and walnut and white oak you have carefully stockpiled at home in the basement workshop you’ve cobbled together over the past several months while developing a pronounced hand tool problem.
