Dewalt launched powerful industrial screwdriver.
Dewalt have just launched the DC600 extremely compact, yet very powerful industrial screwdriver.
The plunge saw system is ideal for carpenters, cabinet makers and installers, kitchen fitters and installers, hardwood floor installers, roofers and traditional woodworkers.
The DeWalt plunge saw range comprises the DWS520K Corded unit, and also the first and only 28 Volt and 18 Volt cordless plunge saws on the market.
The DC351KL 28 Volt Nano Technology unit is part of the new DeWalt 28 Volt range, whilst the DC352KB 18 Volt XRP unit fits into the extensive DeWalt 18 Volt battery system.
The DeWalt plunge saw offers a parallel plunge which allows the user to maintain a smooth and constant hand position whilst cutting, whilst the high torque 1300 Watt motor and 48 tooth blade deliver powerful and accurate cuts.
The fixed rail adjusters on the saws increase the accuracy further by reducing deflection during a cut, whilst the integral anti-kickback function stops the saw from moving backwards down the track whilst plunging.
The corded unit also offers tachometric variable speed, which means the saw can maintain constant speed during even heavy duty cuts.
The track and attachments system includes a 1 metre, 1.5 metre and 2.6 metre track and a number of attachments designed around the applications required from the saws.
These tracks have foam cushioning to keep the rail firmly on the work-piece, and anti-splinter lips on both sides of the rail making it reversible - a unique feature that provides twice the set up versatility of conventional plunge saws.
The central section of the tracks is extremely strong, which stops the plunge saws from twisting during a cut.
The attachments include a router attachment, allowing all DeWalt routers to be used on the rails.
