With all the new
Milwaukee M12 tools we have been talking about it only makes sense they would offer a new high capacity M12 battery. The XC M12 battery will have double the run time of the standard M12
48-11-2401 ($59). The regular M12 battery offers a good amount of run time already but Milwaukee is really targeting the professionals with the new M12 tools and battery life is always an issue when you depend on your tools 8+ hours a day. The new design has some advantages and disadvantages; the positive is run time & some of the tools will now have a wider more stable platform to rest on. The disadvantage is the compact tools are no longer as compact; a M12
2410-22 would almost be as large as the M18
2601-22. Also some of the M12 tools designed for the smaller battery can’t fit the larger XC 48-11-2402 such as the
Plumb Laser or
Sub-Scanner. For more details checkout the Full Milwaukee Tool Press Release below.

Devon Palmer is a local woodworker whose studio is only a few blocks away from us in the www.junctionviewstudios.com (Checkout the ArtShow this weekend). Primarily he makes bowls, vases, platters, goblets and other ornamental sculptures. Clearly the Lathe is his preferred machine of choice and over the years he has gotten extremely talented at using it to create amazing works of art. On his website www.devonpalmer.com he states that after the initial creation of a piece it can take up to 3 years to finish it, to ensure stability. In an effort to keep his work as Green as possible, he tries to use only locally sourced fallen wood so nothing needs to be chopped down or imported. I caught this YouTube video the other day and wanted to give some props to a local artisan who supports some of the same local groups we do.

Bosch like many other manufacturers offer Hole Saws in many sizes and varieties however Bosch offers their entire hole saw line with the Universal Quick Change System. The quick change system is a significant time saver when switch between hole saws; it only takes a few seconds to simply unlock the mandrel and replace it with a new hole saw.
Bi-Metal Hole Saws – These are you typical all purpose type hole saw, good for wood, metal and other construction materials. The Bosch Bi-Metal hole saws are available in several kits including 17, 19 & 25 piece. The kits have a high number of pieces because the quick change adaptors are separate and include 7-11 in each kit. The adaptors also work on most other brands of competitors hole saws.
Carbide Tip Hole Saws – These hole saws have serious diamond sharpened carbide teeth and are ideal for wood, laminate, cementboard, masonry, roof tiles and many other materials. Incredibly strong and long lasting the quick change adaptor is built into each bit. The Kits are available in 5 & 8 piece.
Diamond Grit Hole Saws – The newest line of hole saws for Bosch, the Diamond Grit saws are made to cut marble, granite, tile and other hard materials. These hole saws do require water to stay cool; typically provided by a spray bottle. The individual hole saws above ¾” work with Universal Quick Change System and have the adaptors build in. They use the AutoStart pin to ensure a perfectly centered hole, another unique feature for Bosch. The Mini Diamond Hole Saws (3/16”-5/8”) don’t require the Quick Change Mandrel and will work in any standard drill. The Kits are available in 7 & 11 piece.
