Dewalt plunge saw

i rate mine highly,

Enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i have the 18v version i have had it 2 months now fantastic kits on 6/18mm boards can see worktop requiring a fresh battery for a good cut
i have 2 1.5mm tracks absolutly brilliant just plunge cut the track rubber with the saw lay it on the pencil lines and cut no clamping just lay on cleanish wood/board and plunge cut brilliant

110v.... can do absolutley anything....
Have since sold my portable dewalt flip saw and also sold on dewalt radial saw. The plunge saw eliminates using a number of tools. Thank you who ever came up with the idea!!
Amazed!!!

 

i keep 2x 1.5m rails in the bag its designed for 2! the only pi55er is you cant fit the quick clamps in there too! oh and try D-MTOOLS.co.uk for rails might getem cheaper

 

i dont have those problems mike cos i got the 520 and its 240v just after i bought mine the 28v was released, but personally i wondered if it would be up to it and seeing as i do domestic work theres always 240 on tap!

 

heeellloo mike the joiner
if they are li-ion batteries its the protection circuit in the battery stopping the battery when the volts drop too low
its time to recharge vthe battery

hi mike,

i have also experienced this problem but found i was trying to push the saw too quickly rather than letting it do the work.

mine's okay now and the batteries are all good for mine, let me know how yo get on.

how does the 18v compare to the 28v?
i want one for ripping ply and cutting the bottoms off doors but also want a drill the same voltage, the 28v drill seems a bit over kill but not sure if the 18v saw would have enough power and last long enough.

anyone tried both or can shed any light?

 

as i said above kevsid
i have the 18 v i 90% off the time cut 6/12mm mdf/ply
or 9mm txg cladding i can see worktops requiring a well charged battery but you can garentee the 18 v will be as good as the 28v if not a touch slower but i am shure 3x 2.4 or 2.6v batteries will make up for the volt difference

i doubt you will have many people that have had extensive comparason trials when both machines are so new

hi kev,

i think in hind sight if i were to buy again i might buy the 18volt as i have so many of the batteries i could go on all day.

i have had to get a extra 28volt one as i find two just aren't enough.

also as the are li-ion the cold does seem to have some effect on them

as big all says i haven't tried the 18volt so would be interested to hear how it performs with 18mm mdf and ply and works tops

BIG AL the above is aimed at you;-)

ok audi tommorow [today soon ]
because i dont often use 18 or 25mm i will cut 2x12mm mdf and ply i will also go for 3x 12 mdf and ply this should be as dificult as a worktop
i wont go for more than around 4ft as i am shure it will cut easily i am shure your probably talking around 3 to 5m per 2ah battery for 18v batteries

found a 40mm oak worktop about a year old

1 year old 2.6ah nimh last charged 3 or 4 weeks ago[not charged since]
cut 10 widths then i got bored would probably do another 3 or 4 so it cut 20 ft or 6m accross the grain
so should quite easily manage a kitchen on 2 batteries or 3 iff you have a saw jigsaw hammer drill on the go

yes it does cut slowly about 2m a min but it gives a good clean cut that a 2mm champher would finnish off nicely

big all,

thanks, thats interesting the 18volt seems to have plenty of power but without battery problems.

in hindset i should of got that seeing i have 18 18 volt batteries!!

Evo, it was on a deal at DMtools i think for a naked saw about £120 odd, worth looking still fwiw i used to use my 18V dewalt circsaw on worktops allday long before treating myself to me plungesaw!

 

its london thats where i saw it!
