Just recently bought mine, awesome tool, used it to freehand cut nails sticking below decking under new roof, quick and easy, also trimmed up some not sure what thickness metal roofing trim easily, it's a little beast, glad to know the Dremel blade worked fine, great for tight spots for sure.
When running copper water lines through walls, this thing is wonderful at removing drywall, I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty confident our drywall guy who comes in after our repairs is very grateful, nice clean works and removes nails to make his work much easier
I needed this exact video comparison cause I accidentally pulled a dumb ass move and used the provided Milwaukee carbide abrasive(the one you used in the video for wood plastic and such) on a small steel hanger and thought eh I probably wore it out I’ll pick up the dremel since it looked like a decent blade for wood and plastic since my other option was a Diablo and to see it works better than the Milwaukee relieves me, thanks!
I think using this tool for wood is not it's best use. But for quick small notches It may be safer than using a big clunky saw. It's best for tile, sheet metal work, Cutting bolts, plastic, etc It's real handy. I picked one up and cuts through grout and drywall like a dream. Speeds up demo and install work 👍I kind of just bought it as a luxury splurge type deal but I find myself using this tool a lot.
I totally agree Orbs, I use it all the time for cutting off metal mostly. I was just curious as to what it would do with a wood blade and I thought others may want to know also.
Agree but might grab this over circular saw for cleaner finish cuts on thin plywood for example. Still pretty cool if you only have this and don't need deep cuts.
It's awesome with the diamond blade on old lathe and plaster! Cuts the chicken wire with ease. Gets a little dusty but better than the SDS and super clean cuts. Also cuts metal with ease. Kinda easier than an angle grinder for smaller stuff. Thanks for the demo and info on the dremel blade! The depot has this on sale sometimes during the holidays. Definitely a great versatile tool to own.
082121/0120h PST 🇺🇸 Thank you, that’s a valuable info, you just exhibited. The Milwaukee metal cut off blade is excellent. It took about 1.5 mts to cut off mild steel bar 2mmX20mm (thickness X length) I placed order for Dremel wood cutting blade. I have also attached (separately) belt sander. That works quite well. The only problem is that I had to remove the the original attachments. There’s a video on YT. Thanks again. Stay safe and 73s…
I run the 36 teeth carbide tipped blade on mine the guy on RU-vid selling the adapters on RU-vid made. Work’s amazingly well. Don’t use it much for wood stuff. But when I do with that works great for small not a load of cutting task
Great video, picked this blade up after watching . Watching you finger the blade with the battery in at 2:15 gave me the heebie jeebies. I don’t even like carrying it in my bag with the battery in - a lot of cutting power!
Nice. Curious how well this would work on plexiglass. I've found a number of uses for plexiglass, but cutting is always a pain since it tends to melt using power tools.
I've used the Dremel blade to cut plastic shower walls for installation, it did make a nice cut, but there was some melting. You could snap it off when done.
Is there a genuine circular saw blade that will fit this thing? I have it, with a 4 amp battery and when I cut drywall it does good for a little while, then it starts binding up.
@@jduub10 I don't want it to cut wood, I want a blade that will go through the drywall faster, this thing is good for maybe 15 minutes, then it starts getting bound up in the drywall and stops.
It will cut in either direction. The saw blades are multi directional. The plus to cutting in “reverse “ is if you have the dust extraction kit hooked up to a vacuum it throws the dust up towards the hose rather than away from it. Works great 👍
looks like the high RPMs make it hard to control? Right now I use a dremel at 13000rpms to do accurate plunge cuts on plywood. Do you think you can plunge cut plywood with this cutoff tool or will it be too unwieldy?
You probably can but this blade doesn't have any teeth on it , only abrasives. It was a bit jumpy and i should have had it clamped. It does cut pine nicely though. I'm guessing plywood might be ok .
@@jduub10 I just bought an M12 Cutoff and there wasn't that fitting that allows the Dremmel disk. I checked the parts list and there's nothing. about it so where did you get it?
@@tonywilson4713 everything I used came with the M12, there should be different thicknesses of the washers that they sent. You just have to get the right combination
@@jduub10 Thanks but did you get 2 or 3 washers? It looks like you got 3 and Mine only came with the 2 you show at 1:44. The one with that standoff you show at 1:30 wasn't in my kit and isn't listed in the parts either. Did it come with yours or is it a special you get from MW? I saw another video of a guy who made those to suit the cutters and slitting saws used in milling machines. I doubt they are rated for 20,000 rpm where the Dremel is (as far as I know).
I don't use it enough to test the longevity, but I've always had enough power to do what I need. If you're thinking about buying this, I wouldn't hesitate. You won't be sorry
Yes it is easy to hold, it has a nice rubber grip. If you're looking to cut a lot of wood and thicker lumber there are plenty of mini circular saws out there. It does work well for smaller stock though. This tool is meant for metal and tile mostly.
jduub10 1) If you are going to put it under that load at least use 6.0 XC battery = Power performance of M18 battery. Less likely To bind in wood . M12 FUEL performance depend mainly on the amp OUTPUT ⚡️ ⚡️AMP⚡️ Is the great equalizer
The saw burned its way through the material, not cutting. this tool is a glorified Dremel. Dont waste your money! Save your money, buy a tool that can cut through volume of material. you'll spend more time to put a blade on this thing that will take minutes to burn through one cut. Right tool Right job, this this tool scores a ZERO!
It’s a versatile tool that gets the job done. It’s not for cutting volumes, but for cutting anything you might encounter. I’d agree with you that most DIYers don’t need it
