  • DeWalt 60V Brushless. It's the torquey-est 5" cordless grinder I've ever laid hands on. But is it any good in comparison to the Milwaukee Fuel? Yes, it's better in most ways. What's the runtime on a lithium 60V battery? 5.5 ✪►/ca/listing/464202928/one-rule-to-ruler-them-all-cheeky-jokes◄✪

      Nerdy, Retro, Gaming - some of my videos I used a variety of tripods and a adjustable PVC pipe mounted to my ceiling. usually you have the camera positioned in front of you focused on your work area and you wrap your arms around it to work on the project. I like the suspended camera slightly above me as it frees up more worktable space and you don't have to worry about bumping the tripod. you do have to mark out places for the cameras field of view so you don't accidentally get the back of your head in your shots.

      Uncle Bumblefuck here probably has a full-frame DSLR for taking pictures of his little princess and whatnot on vacation, so for him a 50mm is actually 50, unlike most of us who buy the 2/3 frame "prosumer" DSLR cameras that turn 50mm into a zoom lens, letting you only focus on a tiny part of your bench unless you mount the camera on the ceiling.

    that molly grease is very interesting stuff. aside from lubricating, it actually allows the rolling elements in the bearing to maintain traction with there races. although this may not seem important, i once said the same thing and used a regular all- purpose grease in place of molly in low-speed needle bearings in a suspension application and destroyed the needles as they skided and developed flat spots.

    • @roudyroy1
      @roudyroy1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I thought the same thing at first too, but the molly grease i was using had a higher viscosity than the all purpose grease so i do not think it would be that. both greases were a lithium base and used within the specified temperature range. Originally I thought the flat spots may have been due to shock loads, but i could not find any impact marks or dents on the outer race, only scuff marks.
      I took this a step further and next time i repacked the suspension bearings, i cleaned and re-packed the upper shock bearing with all purpose grease and the lower shock bearing with the same molly grease. next year, sure enough the regular packed bearing developed flat spots on the needles and the molly packed bearing was perfect.

      Obvious answer is to take a bit more off what you're grinding! the motor is just a stepper motor in drag, so e-braking it doesn't take any fancy pixies - it can be handled mechanically with the switch. Set it up so that when it's not chooching, the switch shorts the coils across a fat resistorb, and lenz's law will make sure that no fun occurs

      I have an inverter and bring mine in my truck charging system. That's an often overlooked option.
      Most grinder users who need high output are welding and have wall or generator pixies aplenty. The cordless grinders aren't really for that use case. They are dandy cutoff tools though. I bring my Milwaukee 28V on salvage yard runs where it paid for itself many years ago.

    Battery-powered tools continue to evolve as battery technology continues to evolve, so I can understand the wide range of voltages now available. I think this is a splendid video and very good sound quality, and by god, sir, if I were in the market for a cordless angle grinder, this would be it! I am too cheap, however, and will be happy with my present unit requiring a cord. My job on the railroad required the use of a wide range of grinders, so I have my biases. That said, this is a straight-up honorable demo of the good and bad parts of this machine. The full-out turn the metal blue endurance of 5-odd minutes is one end of the endurance spectrum. I would suspect that for much lighter loads, the figure could be 2 or 3 or 4 times as long, ymmv. I am thinking that when a cordless grinder is appropriate, this might be the appropriate grinder. You done good.

    A sidenote on the PBT usage, it's likely added to the case plastic to reduce shrinkage during injection molding and increase the resistance to solvants. Fun fact, el-cheapo ABS plastic will rapidly wear away and begin to shine from repeated contact to the oils found on skin. This is why heavily-used low end keyboard keycaps develop a shine. PBT is highly resistant to this type of wear.

  • @scottmarshall6766
    @scottmarshall6766 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The heavy switch is probably there because when the Mosfets in a brushless controller fail, they fail shorted, and it would just sit and melt or catch fire if not for a mechanical switch.
    The Mosfets also can do so at any time the battery is plugged in, as the voltage is across all 6 of them, creating a time-bomb in your box if you leave a battery in place by accident. The switch takes the voltage off the Mosfets until you pull the trigger.
    My thoughts on the super fine screens is they are probably to keep the inrunner armature from becoming a iron chia-pet the fan sucks in your grinding dust.
    That's going to be a tough problem with open air-over brushless metal moving tools going forward. A sealed TEFC motor would be the solution, at the cost of weight and size (it would have to be larger and carry a serious fan to stay cool). A real AC induction 3 phase would work, but they are heavy and require a wound armature. Expensive too.
    The particle retention is not a problem on conventional AC/DC brushed motors because they have no permanent magnets and shed the iron dust. It only passes thru, grinding up bearings and brushes as it goes. That issue is usually dealt with using sealed bearings and replaceable brushes.
    Nice breakdown, almost makes me order one, but I'm not much of a fan of the Flex system, it's not servicable and as you noted in the battery video is just a landfill filling machine (using our money).
    Message to manufacturers - Give me serviceable high quality batteries at a moderate voltage(s) with replaceable 18650s and a good balance charger and I can manage the voltages, thanks. 5 Cell and 10 cell (20v & 40v) should cover most tools well.
    The 'voltage wars" are just a marketing ploy, it's the watthours that matter (as you have noted before), so start plastering that on the box instead. (to do your own comparisons, watthours is voltage x amp-hours) the higher the number, the more energy in the battery.
    (Mini-rant over, thank you for your indulgence)
    I like your videos, thanks for taking apart your pet tool. Hope it runs as well as it did.

    Back when i was building brushless motors for my model planes, I used an aluminum and aluminum oxide-filled tooling epoxy to hold the input leads in place. I eventually just painted the crap over the whole motor to lock eveytthing in place. The windings were completely covered AND the whole stator was glued in place with the stuff. I did this because the windings DO vibrate with the current pulses and because the filled epoxy also acted as a heat sink, transferring heat very well.

    Perhaps the paint acts as an insulator (looks like a good thick coat) to keep heat in the gearbox, but the matte colour will be helping it. A polished/machined aluminium has a poor emissivity (around 0.1-0.3 from memory). Whereas the darker colour will be much closer to 1 (with 1 being a perfect "Black body"). On a project I worked on we dropped our average operating temp (approx) 5% by simply anodising the machined aluminium black instead of leaving it "as machined".
    Obviously the paint is thicker than the anodizing, so I'm not sure if it's a win or not on this grinder.

    The beefy high power trigger switch may be a safety feature. They might switch main motor drive power through that switch. That way when you release the trigger you know that the motor absolutely will turn off. If the trigger were just a small signal switch then there is the possibility that during a hardware fault the logic board might get latched on at the trigger GPIO pin, or a software fault might keep the PWM for the motor driver stuck on. The result would be that even if you let go of the trigger the motor would keep running. Or the motor might just turn on by itself.

    • @CookiePepper

      True. Safety (IEC60730 class B?) certified firmware for the motor driver is not easy and expensive. The switch could solves the problem.

    • @NoahSpurrier
      @NoahSpurrier 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Paul Murray, the designers might have used a double pole switch. One pole switches on/off main power, the other pole off/on switches a shunt across the windings of the motor. Or a relay might used to shunt the winding when the relay is not energized. That would brake the motor even if the main power was cut-off. The designers might leave the motor windings shorted out at all times when the trigger switch is not being pulled. This would give the output shaft a heavy drag that the user could torque against when unscrewing the nut that holds the blade. It would be nice not to have to press and hold that locking pin while tightening the the blade nut. I'm not sure the the shorted windings would provide enough resistance to torque against, but the force would have to go through the gears so the holding force would be multipliedd.

    I see some mention of the electronic brake being a bad thing...not working like a "real" brake. My experience with that type of brake on model planes says that they work very well, and there're no mechanical bits to wear out. I've seen an electronic brake on a 1 kW motor stop a 20 inch prop from 6000 RPM in well under a second...enough stopping torque that the 6 pound plane would roll noticeably. The controller was later re-programmed to do a softer stop for fear of busting the motor mounts.

    It's interesting to me that DeWalt seem to be improving so much in the last year or so as Milwaukee decline. I'm a contractor and engineer and swore off DeWalt after years of using them - I gave boxes of my DeWalt stuff to my apprentices to get them started as it there always seemed to be something falling apart. Here I am now with a shop full of Milwaukee to replace it, and damn if the last few red things I've bought have been straight junk (their cordless angle grinder is an abomination, IMO).
    Side note: have you seen what Milwaukee are charging for a light on a tripod too? I mean, it's fine and works OK and all, but $300 buys a lot of Knipex and Wera tools instead of chinesium LED flashlights on a stick.

    If you look at the ID tag as he turns it over you'll see that it is in fact a 4.5" angle grinder. This is a "Type 1" DCG414 grinder and I have just purchased the newest version (Type 3) DCG414 angle grinder. I bought it as a kit with 2 batteries, 2 guards, a charger and a canvas bag. The first time I went to use it with a wire brush it shut down after 2 or 3 minutes so I went to change the battery and found I couldn't get it off. It took a rubber mallet to finally free the battery. Upon close inspection I noticed the battery was deformed due to heat as well as the stops on the battery holder on the grinder. I called DeWalt and they sent me a new set up. They're explanation was that they had a bad batch of batteries, the old batteries had a 2018 date code. The new kit had batteries with a 2019 date code. I charged the batteries and tried wire brushing some paint off of a metal door and after about 3 minutes the same thing happened to the new grinder and battery. Another call to DeWalt and they had me send the new grinder to their repair center. It's been two weeks and no word yet. I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem with batteries over heating and deforming?
