Most Exciting New Power Tools of 2010 - 2011: The Honorable Mentions

!±8± Most Exciting New Power Tools of 2010 - 2011: The Honorable Mentions

It occurred to me that in a previous article highlighting my top five proposals on the most exciting new power tools this year, I have this "honorable mentions" will make them worth the time. As a result they are now morally obliged to reconsider the reasons and each one of these tools to earn their place among the top 10 most innovative, exciting and tools generally large new power in 2010 and 2011.

In recognition of these tools in no particular order, I will startwith:

- Makita's SH01W 12v Compact Cordless 3-3/8" Circular Saw:
This is the kind of power tool that everyone on planet Earth should own. It's industrially powerful and high-performance while still being one of the most compact tools I've ever encountered. The thing weighs only 3.3-lbs rendering it simple to maneuver and operate, and despite being so extremely compact, the circ saw still has a 1" cutting capacity big enough to cut through just about anything you'd really need it to. The saw is extremely comfortable to use, offers a surprising amount of power from such a little tool, and runs with one of the most sophisticated lithium-ion battery systems on the market today - it's truly an ideal addition to any crafter's power tool repertoire.

- Makita's LXFD01CW 18v Compact Cordless 1/2" Drill-Driver:
Quite like the circ saw above, this high-power drill is surprisingly compact while still throwing around a huge amount of power. At just over 7.5" long and exactly 3.3-lbs the tool is ideal for use in awkward spaces or through time consuming applications. Additionally, with variable speed options and a 4-pole motor delivering 480-in/lbs of max torque, the drill is seriously tough, and industrially versatile. The tool also works with Makita's intensely advanced lithium ion battery system using an 18v battery that is everything from lightweight to long-lasting and charges in only 15-minutes flat. All in all, the drill is awesomely powerful while maintaining the compact design features that allow you do a lot more work with a lot less bulk.

*Additionally, if you are more interested in a slightly smaller drill, Dewalt's DCD710S2 12V MAX drill-driver kit is a really cool, really smart option. It's another one of those power tools that surely every human on Earth could find use for. It's super compact and powerful, and weighing just a measly 2.4-lbs and boasting variable speeds and 1,500 RPM, this little drill-driver is a real firecracker.

- Dewalt's DW611PK Compact, Two-Base Router Kit:
This tool is awesome- it's a fixed-base/plunge-base combination unit that unites the compact and ergonomic design of traditional trimmers with the power and high-performance of a fill-sized router. It delivers 1.25HP for tough applications and variable speeds and fast transitions between bases for a variety of different applications. The fixed-base has an extended sub-base for more contact with work surfaces and enhanced user control, and the plunge-base features a large base platform for greater stability under heavy loads. The clear, LED lit sub-base even accepts universal template guides. The tool's soft-start motor features constant electronic feedback to maintain motor speed throughout every cut, and with fast bit changes, impossible accuracy and precision, and too many more things to list, the DW611PK is a really stinkin' cool router pack.

- Milwaukee's 2458-21 M12 Cordless Palm Nailer:
Palm nailers are notoriously cool and this little sucker is one seriously awesome power tool. Eliminating the hassle of cords and hoses and delivering big-time power in a surprisingly compact, cordless and ergonomic package, the nailer can work in otherwise impossible areas while still boasting an impact mechanism advanced enough to handle even the toughest nailing jobs. The 2458-21 is also outfitted with a comfortable hand-strap to ensure you maintain optimal productivity and safety on the job. So, of course, you know the tool is small, but it weighs just 3.4-lbs ensuring users are comfortable during awkward, overhead, and continuous work, and because the thing also incorporates an industrial magnet collet to securely hold your framing nails and an LED light for greater visibility, you can operate the tool easily with only one hand. It's brilliant.

- Milwaukee's 2625-21 M18 Cordless One-Handed Hackzall:
Another one-handed beauty with a comfortable, compact, cordless and ergonomic design, this tool is perfect for every type of user; it's powerful enough for the most industrial applications, and compact and comfortable enough for home-users - seriously, despite big power, a variable speed trigger, LED light, Quick-Lok for fast blade changes, and an advanced lithium-ion battery system, the saw weighs only 4.1-lbs. It's sophisticated. The thing additionally features Milwaukee's patent pending dual gear anti-vibration system for unmatched comfort and stability, and delivering an intense 0-3,000 strokes per minute, this recip saw can easily cut through virtually everything and do it with smooth, fast precision.

And that sums it up, but just in case you missed the first article featuring the top 5 most exciting new power tools, here they are in no particular order and in a very serious nutshell:

- Bosch's GCM12SD Axial Glide Articulating Miter Saw
- Milwaukee's 2426-22 M12 Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool AND Bosch's MX25EC21 Multi-X Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool (yes, I realize this is cheating but the awesomeness of these tools renders a little deviance totally appropriate)
- Dewalt's DCT410S1 12v MAX Inspection Camera
- Festool's 564250 T 15+3 Lithium Ion Cordless Drill
- Senco's FN65DA Cordless Fusion Finish Nailer

What is a Woodworking Router and What Can it Do For Me

!±8± What is a Woodworking Router and What Can it Do For Me

So what does a router do and how to use a router.

I thought I'd first take a look at the word router and this originates from a verb to rout. Rout is also a noun but this doesn't relate to our woodworking router. The definition of the verb appears to be to rummage or to hollow out or furrow, as with a scoop, gouge, or machine. So perhaps my definition of a woodworking router would be to gouge out or machine out some part of a piece of wood. This could simply be to make a groove or round the edges of a piece of timber.

The first routers were of course hand operated and were similar in appearance to a flat wood plane but having interchangeable narrow blades rather than the large flat blade. These blades would be shaped to make a grove or round the edge of the timber. The electric router was introduced in the first half of the last century but in fact was a very different product for achieving similar results and relied on a spinning cutter and was known as the spindle router. A company called Elu developed some of the first products and I remember having a quality Elu router myself. I believe Elu is now part of the Makita power tool and Makita router range of products.

The first electric routers had a fixed base and subsequent routers called plunging routers were sprung such that the spinning blade would not protrude beyond the based as the weight or pressure was removed. These types of router were moved over the wood area. The alternative method of use is to mount a router to the underside of a router table and then move the wood over the router and maintaining a fixed position for the table router. This is ideal for a workshop environment and lends itself to additional safety features.

The handheld plunging routers can be used (should be used) with a variety of controls. The base of the router can be fitted with a sidebar device to ensure that the cutting blade remains a constant distance from the edge of the wood you are routing. For example you may wish to cut a groove 4 mm deep and 3 mm from the edge of your piece of wood. The depth can be set to the maximum 4 mm and the sidebar guide will ensure that the groove is not made more than 3mm from the edge of the wood. You could achieve the same results by clamping a straight edge over the surface of the wood to be machined and keep the electric router pressed firmly against the straight edge.

Router cutters or router bits come in many different shapes. The different shapes allow you to use your router to cut square, vee and rounded grooves. There are more router bits to enable round, angular and decorative edge finishing. An edge finishing router bit has a spinning guide at the base of the cutter that prevents the blade cutting deeper into the timber. Generally speaking buying router bits can be a little of a lottery because you want the best bits but don't want to spend a fortune. Unless you need a large selection of router bits for professional work I'd suggest buying a set of router bits with most of the shapes you could ever envisage using. You'll probably also require 1 or 2 straight cutting bits and you may wish to pay a little more money to get the best you can afford if you are to use these bits frequently. For example you may wish to have a 3-4 mm straight cutting blade for groves and rebating edges of your chosen timber. A larger 8-10mm is always useful for taking a little timber off a wider area. Cheaper blades will soon lose their cutting edge and could scorch or burn the timer if you are not careful.

You can choose a router from a variety of manufactures notably Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Festool, Milwaukee and Porter-Cable. A router is still very much a corded power tool and is often required for long periods of use so there hardly any cordless routers. The Ryobi ZRP600 Trim Router is an 18v cordless device but very much intended for lighter trim work. Many of the manufacturers also supply factory reconditioned routers and router combo kits.

Once you've mastered the use of a router you'll be amazed how many tasks can be improved by using a router.
