While some grinders have mechanical brakes that stop a rotating wheel or blade instantly, electric brakes (which make up a majority of these systems) rely on electricity to stop the blade.

While mini-v’s are not necessarily new tech, with offerings from TRP and Tektro (to name a few) having been on the market for years now, the brakes reviewed here, the Box Components Eclipse mini-v, are the debut mini-linear pull brake offering from a brand that is also relatively new.

I like the 5-in-1 nozzle. You just simply spin the head to get to the tip you want to use. There’s no lock to overcome and the mechanism slides easy enough before slipping into a positive stop. That’s a nice feature to avoid storing different tips on the tool or somewhere else like you do with a pressure washer.

Deep Cutting Ability: Poor to Fair – dips into reserve power but slow and ragged cutting accompanied by a hot motor smellPower/Speed (fastest cut 2” deep across 4-feet of OSB): 22.19 secondsMax. Cut Speed (in 2” of OSB): 2.163 inches/second, 14 in speed

Despite having mixed voltages and amp-hour ratings represented, there was no handicapping. All of the saws considered for the title of Best Battery-Powered Chainsaw are full-size tools as the category goes. Our shootout was a free-for-all, rewarding superior performance over all other considerations. Creature comfort and accessory features add nice touches, but getting the job done quickly with power to spare was our top priority.

My first appreciation of cars came when my first boss took me for a drive in an old air-cooled Porsche 911 in Sydney. I don’t remember what model year it was, but I do remember I became addicted to all things automotive from that day onwards. I’m an enthusiastic car nut who geeks out over tuned supercars, obscure classic race cars, automotive memorabilia and just about anything else car related.

Brembo High-performance Braking System: Qiantu K50’s Brembo 4-piston brake caliper guarantees a powerful braking force that allows the car to brake in extreme distances. The front and rear high-carbon ventilated brake discs are also from Brembo; these have a scribing and perforation design for better abrasion performance and thermal conductivity.

If you opt to get the $79 scissor stand for your Milwaukee cordless table saw, it’s a reasonably easy assembly process. Clamping the saw on is an easy process, though you’ll want to carry the saw and stand separately to and from the job site.

Established market in regions like North America and Europe are expected to dominate the press brake market in terms of value, whereas developing regions like Latin America and APEJ is likely to multiply press brake market throughout the forecast period. Also, the global market for press brake is expected to witness growth factors with the rapidly increasing use of press brake in applications like transport machinery, angle cutting, sheet cutting, building & construction, automotive and rapidly increasing general machinery applications. Stringent norms in certifications of press brake is likely to hamper the growth of the market.

On the product side, we have a positive effect in the quarter. We have introduced, as I said or already mentioned, the price increases. But we have also worked with our product portfolio. So we have here sales of product lines included in the positive effect on product.

One remarkable example his attention to detail is the DT Swiss 350 hubset on the Thesis-branded wheelsets.

One of the first things many Pros do is permanently (and intentionally) lose the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls. While they are a pain to install and store onboard, their ability to reduce the risk of injury is significant. Table saws are responsible for thousands of injuries every year and there are plenty of guys running around with stories of how they got injured. So practice installing them until it feels natural and then actually use them onsite.
