The concept makes a lot of sense. A small rotating blade at the end of
a stick.
I thought: "how bad can it be?"
What did I expect?
Not much.
I got waaaay less than that. A 4 amp motor isn't going to do much, but
if geared down, it could be useful in some applications....and for 69
bucks...what-the-hey?
It cut about 1 to 1 1/2" into 1/2" acrylic and the motor would trip. It
would restart in a couple of seconds and trip again. Sloooooow feed? 1
1/2" and trip.
Canadian Tire was kind enough to refund my money. They're good that
way.
Too bad, really, it is such a good idea. Imagine Festool or Fein doing
something like that, eh? (Yup... becoming a snob.)
BTW, I already had a couple of Makitas 5091D's.. very useful with their
carbide blades. A priceless little saw. I wish it was tailed. I got
sick and tired of buying their seemingly abandoned 12volt batteries.
The bulk of their operations are now done with my Fein MultiMaster. Am
I missing anything that somebody else manufactures? Preferably a
plug-in device?
