Thanks for testing the compressor specifically. I'm overhead mounting for mine while in the shop and it would be great to plug in like this. This is so informative. Your accumulated experience with Milwaukee plug-in conversions really shows. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
I think they got the timeout unit to save batteries because I believe the batteries have a safety in it so it never fully discharges so you never freeze your battery when you leave it out side below zero and like you say that's a mid Duty air compressor not a all-day air compressor always said they should have made a AC plug in the side but I guess Ryobi beat them to it because they have tools that have it where you can plug it into the wall I would like Milwaukee to make a battery adapter like the one you make
Subscribed! The ultimate goal is to plug in more of the heavy duty stationary Milwaukee tools, such as the table saw. Do you think that'll be possible?
Thanks for the subscription! While I don't have the table saw (yet), I suspect it will have a draw similar to the miter saw, but probably a bit more. This power supply can theoretically provide up to 1800 watts, and I think the miter saw only required around 1200 watts under heavy load - so it should have sufficient headroom to power something like the saw.
Im waiting for you to try m18 table saw with this power supply, but please test it if it’s easier to stop it by cutting 2x4 with wall power supply or like at least 12amp battery. Thanks
was just thinking why doesnt milwaukee make this even if there some down time while power tools are charging its nice to be able to take thats same tool and just plug it in
This is awesome! I got my hands on a Milwaukee portable bandsaw, did you have a pinout of the terminals anywhere? The two center pins, do you need to trick them or just connect + and -?
@@harrisonhobbies241 an LED driver is nothing more than a AC/DC converters. I've found an 18+ volt with 1200 watts of power. The LED driver has a + & - wire on the output side that goes to the + & - side of the battery adapter. Wire gauge is the same on the battery adapter and LED driver. I haven't tried it out yet however why wouldn't an already made AC/DC converter work to power a mitre saw in a pinch if needed. I have at least 5 8ah batteries and I can get a couple days of use before I even get down to 2 bars on an 8ah and send it to the charger..bvv
Thanks very useful info pulling up to 23Amp of power works well with High Output M18 batteries those 18650 just can’t put up with the discharge especially the China one 2Ah or 5Ah can handle them cuz those Samsung 20R and 25R can handle it 21700 cells definitely can handle better
What’s the cut off working time for this tool ? Can it be use for more than and have you tested for non stop working no breaks for 1hr of course will need that many batteries but my main concern is if I need it to run small tools recommended in those shown on box or for example filling up a pill of tires will this tool need a break to recover from heat or chip timer if I had so many batteries or after let’s say 15mins it stops and needs to cool down even if I had plenty battery that are 4bars ? In your case will a battery maybe throw a temperature and tell the tool we are cool to run and having plenty will just need replacement of batteries ( not wired )?
I don't know much about Tineco or their product offerings, but theoretically this should be possible for all brands and models of battery powered equipment.
@@harrisonhobbies241 Depending on where your at I could ship you mine to see if you could plug it in and see if it works. Please let me know if your interested. Someone in your comments said they already attempted it and that it didn’t work with the table saw. However, they didn’t mention plugging into any other tools, so I am not sure if it was user error or not. The community really needs to have a plug in option for this saw as a bunch of 12.0’s is not financially viable for everyone wanting a job site and shop table saw.
Hi Harrison, i have made a similar device but intended on running this compressor from my work vehicles on board 12v batteries. I am using a 12vdc to 19vdc 30amp up-step converter. I have made the battery adapter and everything works great on it - grinder, 1/2" impact high torque, drill, vaccum, inflator, etc. It all runs like a full charged m18 is on the devices. Everything runs perfect except the m18 fuel compressor... When i plug my adapter in, i hear the relay click, then 5 seconds later the relay click out. And nothing. It doesn't appear to be overloading the step-up box as the led indicator light doesn't dim from load... any thoughts?
The make a ridgid 18v corded ac adapter $250. Why not get that and snag a ridgid to Milwaukee battery converter off eBay for $25. Any reason why that won’t work?
Hi Anthony - I researched this as an option originally. The power adapter you're referencing was designed for the Rigid Press tool, which (from my understanding) has a different battery interface then the rest of Rigid's tool line, and i'm not aware of any interface adapters available for this one specifically. I'm going off of memory here since I can't locate its specs, but i believe it only delivers something like 200 watts, so it wouldn't power much if you COULD find an adapter.

lol I got 37 seconds into it and realized it's not click bait... why would a CORDLESS air compressor be turned into a CORDED air compressor, just for the quietness? surely a corded compressor with that price point would yield some other very good options. boggles my mind, and defeats Milwuakee's whole usage for this thing, and that is that it is cordless.
Very interesting AC solution.
... Would really love to see it power the M18 Table Saw for the ultimate test. Subscribed!

Adapted my m12 mini compressor to take m18 batteries. Small buck regulator and some creative mounting on the side.
And turns it off when your battery is empty? Ore how do you protect your battery?

I’m curious if you could do a 1 yr review on the M18 compressor. Thinking of buying one, wanted your thoughts
Good job. I was looking at getting an LED driver and setting it up to run my miter saw.
That must be a pretty beefy LED driver!
@@harrisonhobbies241 an LED driver is nothing more than a AC/DC converters. I've found an 18+ volt with 1200 watts of power.

@@harrisonhobbies241 you definitely got a subscriber after I watched one of your videos. Thanks for going over everything in detail 👍
You have an instagram page? Since it’s only using about 400W and the table saw will likely also use 400, why buy a larger than 600W Transformer?
Thanks
very useful info pulling up to 23Amp of power
works well with High Output M18 batteries
those 18650 just can’t put up with the discharge especially the China one
2Ah or 5Ah can handle them cuz those Samsung 20R and 25R can handle it
21700 cells definitely can handle better
if i saw it correctly
i don’t see the clear tail pipe on the filter
this would make it quieter
seems quite loud
Do you still use this? I’m wondering if 2x 330w laptop chargers will do the trick. Do you have a matrix of which tools draw how much?
Can you try fitting a dewalt flexvolt on a converter to Milwaukee? I’m invested in dewalt batteries but this compressor is very nice.
Get this working with the table saw then send me the link to your website to start selling these - I’ll buy one for sure
Do you have a Schematic/Parts List for this AC adapter and son of a parts list?
Does somebody have to cannibalize an old battery for the project?
Hi there,
I'm seriously interested in purchasing an adapter for the Milwaukee compressor :)!
Can you help with that?
What kind of PSU are you using ? to convert to 18V
What’s the cut off working time for this tool ? Can it be use for more than and have you tested for non stop working no breaks for 1hr of course will need that many batteries but my main concern is if I need it to run small tools recommended in those shown on box or for example filling up a pill of tires will this tool need a break to recover from heat or chip timer if I had so many batteries or after let’s say 15mins it stops and needs to cool down even if I had plenty battery that are 4bars ?

Thanks for videos. You should get the table saw. That would be good test. Do you know if make more powerful converter, like 2000+ watts?
Dude, you pick the output numbers, there are mad options. Solar to a battery, use a/c to charge battery, To a/c
What about using an Amazon or ebay adapter to convert the milwaukee tool to accept a metabo battery and using metabos ac wall plug adapter?
Nice videos .
will it be possible to convert a tineco A10 vacuum cleaner too ?
I don't know much about Tineco or their product offerings, but theoretically this should be possible for all brands and models of battery powered equipment.

Ok thanks 👍🏼.
Please do a video review on the Milwaukee M18 table saw please
The table saw is on my list of purchases - i will try to ping you when i get one and make the video.

In order to upgrade the factory quick connect coupler do you have to disassemble the front plastic housing/control to gain access?
Nope, you can get a wrench on it and swap it out easily. I put a high flow coupling on mine.

You are not the first, i did this years ago with 18v, 28v dewalt, and have had an m18 adapter since 2019. Do a chainsaw with your psu
Can't find any of these power supplies you're using online

Have you found a way to turn it up to 20 volts on any of the settings?
@@elijahlgreen nope... haven't bothered since the out-of-the-box setting worked fine.
M18 FUEL™ 9" Cut-Off Saw w/ ONE-KEY™ is heavy
This is the tool that makes me want to build one of these adapters.
Would you sell me one of these? I have the compressor in a van and need to a power supply because it eats up my batteries
I've chosen not to sell them, but would be happy to help address any snags you encounter as you build your own!
FYI it has a 70 percent duty cycle
you're doing something that's over working the Air Compressor. I have continuously cycled this tool with an M18 12.0 AH battery until it died.
Wher can I git that adapter
Which part specifically?
I have a parts list in the video description.
everything thats scandalous in any companies product line, is a hand from the UK where it shouldn't be. It's time to cut that hand off....

For what this thing cost it is utter garbage. Certain tools need a plug and this is one of them.
“Wall powered”...🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Its is FAR from the first. I've had a 2kW Sorensen psu for years to run my stationary m18 stuff, get over yourself
