I dont need it...but I want it
Oh. I know that feeling 😂
I was thinking same thing...lol
I didn't need the milwaukee one, so I bought it. And now it gets used every day.
@@procrastinator1842 yep. This has been my go to tool since it arrived. So much quicker and easier to use.
My thoughts exactly.. 😂
Quick tip from a guy that uses exclusively DeWalt tools:
No matter what new DeWalt saw you buy, be it this one, the Sawzall, the Circular saw, the full size grinder. the table saw, the miter saw or whatever (Those are just the ones I own): understand that DeWalt makes outstanding tools, but they are not a blade company.
Spend a few extra bucks on the day you buy your tool, and pick up some Diablo blades for it. Every one of my saws is black and yellow...with a red blade. That's the color combo you want.
I agree 100%.
I have all Red tools with red blades and cut off wheels.
@@electricalron That's a solid combo!
Totally agree, they do make good drill bits at least.
Just bought this tool today during a home depot sale. Love it so far, it'd exactly what I've been wanting for cut off tasks.
Enjoy it!
Best tool unbox, description, and demonstration video of this whole site!
Very well timed, and flows so well.
I love that he discusses related material like blades and usage experience.
Over all so very well done!!!
Does this Tube offer talent awards, cuz this is crown of awesome!
💪 Appreciate the kind words and feedback!
I recently got one of these as a gift from a relative & she doesn't know anything about power tools but regardless I greatly appreciated the thought. I was skeptical about this grinder due to it being so small. Even had all the guys at work laughing when brought it out, but I must say I haven't gone back to my Max XR hd angle grinder since. This model is so compact & lightweight makes using a breeze. Obviously not as heavy duty but has gotten every job done. Typically use it with a 3ah or 4ah battery and no problems with it
Love it! 😅 Wonder how long it'll be before your co-workers get one too. But like you, I haven't bothered with my other grinders since I've gotten this
Just got one last week w a power stack. So far so good.
Any converts yet? Give us an update! :)
thanks for the video. just purchased it and this helped me get it up and running.
💪Glad to hear! The instructions on Dewalt are usually pretty rough. 😂
Excellent demo of this cutoff tool. I really appreciate the info re the direction of rotation blades. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and the kind words.
I love this tool, I had been putting up wire shelves and I go right through them when I have to cut them
I've also used them on wire shelves. Easiest and smoothes cuts I've ever managed.
thank you! Great explanation of basic use of this wonderful tool
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by
Thank you for the video...appreciate the review 👍
Thanks for stopping by!
Didn't know about the blade direction. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
Just got one today, they’re on sale at lowes. Bought a battery charger pack it’s 4.0 and 6.0 batteries and they include one free tool. Had to choose between this and their battery powered rotohammer drill
Solid choice! Still one of my favorite tools to date.
Great review!!
Thanks for watching!
New Subscriber here. Appreciate the review. I just bought this a few weeks ago. Going to do a review on it soon hopefully. All the best with your channel and I hope you and yours are well. 🙂✌️❤️
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words from another content creator!
Tbf if you use it for what it's been designed for - Not what they'll market it as or how youtubers (not this channel) will push it's limits to create "bigger & better" content - it should be a good complement to a throw & go tool bag.
It's a nibbling & convenience multitool, not a replacement for a grinder, circ saw or any wood working saw in my opinion.
I'll be adding one to my toolbag and get your point totally btw. Best you can do is keep yourself safe and stay cynical to all the bs out there👍🏽
@@theme6590 well said! That's why I like being a smaller and honest channel. I try to keep it real and use the tools how they're actually capable of being used. This tool has come in super handy for small projects, but don't get me wrong, it has its limits that you need to respect. The biggest limit is the depth of the cut, but other than that I've used it for close to 90% of my projects that needed a cut off tool.
DeWALT! 💪

Nice video, that table is cool also

Good tutorial
Thanks!
🤝 thanks muy bien explicado im at home depot I think I'll buy one of these not bad
I still highly recommend it. One of my favorite tools
I can see this as the perfect to to remove grout between tiles.
It would make quite the mess, but would cut through grout like butter for sure. But I'd be concerned about kinicking tiles if you're not 100 percent focused
Better to use a multi tool with a diamond blade (and a vacuum!) instead. Far more controllable and less risky!
i like it
I love it.
I just bought one. It works very well. The dust shroud is normally used for everything other than metal cutting, when it must be removed. What’s odd is that the manual shows a belt hook, or something similar, but it’s not in the package. I don’t understand that as every other Dewalt power tool I’ve bought (a lot!) has it in the box, even for bare tools. So I don’t understand that. Minor thing, but still…
Yep. Esp since the attachment point is there. Wonder if it's more of a safety issue? (they don't want you hanging a hot blade off your side and risk a burn for example)
@@thehousemann I suppose it’s possible, but they’re not new to this. I would think that they would have thought of that before producing the manual. I would have asked them during FabTech, but I couldn’t go at the last minute.
@@melgross well, it'll give them something to add for v2 😅
DeWALT typically doesn’t include belt hooks with bare tools. They even prefer to sell the bit holder for drills separately (goes on the opposite side). When you got them in the past you probably got a tool combo with bag and battery.
@@emmettturner9452 I didn’t buy the bare tool. I bought the package.
I have this (one of the dozen Dewalt tools I have). Should I get an oscillating tool as well or does this tool cover that need? Thanks!!
I'd also get the oscillating tool (but depends on what your needs are) . I love this cut off, but you're going to run into issues if you need to make deep cuts. Oscillating tool will give you a bit more versatility in that realm
thankyou for your video, could you share more about your workbench looking good and very efficiency TIA.
It's a Windsor Design Workbench.
Here's the link: amzn.to/3UyRSGU
@@thehousemann thank you so much
The bolt for the top of the wheel that the bolt screw goes into doesn’t sit flush on my blade like yours does. I have to hold us straight into place while I tighten down the screw to make sure it straight and even. After 2 mins of using the screw always flys off. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Make sure there isn't an extra flange or washer behind the blade when mounting? Hard to say without seeing it.
So on the directional discs. If you want to switch from reverse to forward on the fly, you need to take out the disc and flip it each time?
You know this never crossed my mind 😅, but essentially yes. But why would you want to swap directions?
@@thehousemann I saw some people were doing that to make the dust fly a different direction. Not sure lol. Still learning about grinders.
@@thehousemann
To make the dust and stuff fly away from you instead of towards you if you aren't using the shroud?
@@42RHD change the direction the blade spins. Just make sure it's not a directional blade
Love Canada Merci Québec 😊

Xôu de bola foi muito bom
muito obrigado
Great review. Just bought and used it for the first time. Removing mortar between bricks resulted in tool being covered in dust. Will that harm the tool? ( I'm wearing mask, face shield and gloves).
It might cause it to overheat sooner if the mortar is getting caked in there. If you can. I'd try to attach a shop vac to help with the dust mitigation
Blow it clean with compressed air
Is that guard removable? If i get this tool, id like to be able to put a 4in cut off wheel on it.
It's not removable as far as I could tell.
dewalt bore is 3/8 or 9.5mm. the bore adapter is 7/16 = 11.1mm to fit dremel disks. my question is does the 10mm bore bosch disks work on it ?
Would it work? Yes. But I'm afraid that it might not seat perfectly and be a safety hazard.
whats the difference between this and a normal angle grinder except from it being smaller?
I find this one to more specialized for cutting. Think of it as a multi surface mini circular saw. Where as an angle grinder is more thicker bladed/heavy duty grinding/cutting.
RPM
Duct tape
I’ve got the m12, but it’s kinda useless. Thinking about this one.
Is silver. 🦆
can you cut horizontally? for example, if I want to cut some bamboo cane to ground?
Yea I've cut plenty horizontally. The head won't turn, but just move your wrist 90 degrees..
@@thehousemann thanks for the replay!
I just bought this for my husband and the battery and the charger. Costed me my soul and he went to use it and it freakin BROKE 😢 OMG?!
That just sounds like bad luck. Mines been rock solid. I'd exchange it for a new one.
Just got mine yesterday and one of the discs just would not fit. The manual said not to force it. Even trying it without force would cause large chunks of yellow paint to flake off the inner diameter and foul the threads in my chuck (sticks to the factory oil). It took longer than it should to confirm that it was the correct wheel but wouldn’t have taken nearly as long if it weren’t for the manual basically contradicting reality: You must force it. It will eventually fit fine once enough junk flakes off the inner diameter. I had to clear the threads with tweezers multiple times.
Sounds like a manufacturing issue on the disc cut out. I'd say file/sand the opening a little bit to make it fit easier.
Same thing happened to me, I had to force it on..works good now.
So how do you have a straight line of sight with the dust cover on. With the dust cover on you cannot see the blade to run down a straight line or am I missing something?
Nope, you're correct. You can't see diddly with the cover on. My solution is to offset the cut line, and use the outer edge of the base plate as my guide.
Can you cut wood a 2x4 for example?
I wouldn't. I tried it once on some wood trim pieces cause I was in a pinch, it ends up burning the wood. Also I think the blade isn't big enough to clear a 2x4
great video , wondering how it would do cutting wood , trim board or clad boards / anyone offer an all wood blade...
They sure do!
amzn.to/3Z8qemY
Hello can you use a 18 volt battery as well
No, different connections
where can you get the duat extraction attachment from?
amzn.to/3W85JF7
Is this what you are referencing?
How does this do on rebar?
Cuts it like butter. Done a few
Can you remove the saw guard?
I haven't personally done it. But just looked. Looks like it's possible. There's 4 T10? Screws that hold the guard in place.
it didnt even throw any sparks cutting metal.. :) to prevent all that dust getting on the tool. you can put it in reverse.. so all the dust flys the opposite way.. :)
Yea but you want to be careful and pay attention to the direction of the blade. Some blades are designed to only cut one way
Is it possible to cut the cement floor?
With the right blade. Sure
I'm getting one
🥳🥳
Great tool if it was bigger
I quite like the size. Has come in very handy and has handled everything I've thrown at it. Rarely do I find myself needing something bigger
Can you cut thick rubber mats with this?
Eh. I'd recommend large sheers. Would it work? Sure. But if the blade heats up you'll start to melt the rubber. And if shavings get into the blade area it'll be sure to gum it up. And I don't imagine that being fun to try to clean
I used it on blow molded plastic but so think I’d prefer a knife for rubber or foam.
diablo blades the best
Facts 👍🏻👍🏻
Is it a variable speed trigger?
No, just on/off
The Ryobi is variable speed if that's important.
It is forward and reverse so you can throw the sparks away from you.
Bought it. It’s a very cool tool, love all the detail it has. My only complaint is the LED light, it is virtually useless. When you begin to cut something, the LED is in a position where it cannot shine any light on what you are actually cutting. I love Dewalt because now they are putting LED lights of ALL their tools…but this LED might as well not be on the tool because it doesn’t light up what u are cutting. LED very very poor design!😡
Yea that's the problem when the light is behind the blade. Loads of tools do the same. I honestly forgot the light had a light until you mentioned it since I mainly use it outdoors.
Hi can you use a 18 volt battery or not
You cannot
Is the 10ah as big as the 6 and the 8?
No, 8 and 6 will be smaller.
Smaller and lighter than the flexvolt 9ah
@@thehousemann ok thank you
in the US they sell these for like $170 but in the UK they are almost $500
😳 Have you tried ebay? Some sellers will ship internationally
You can get them cheaper if you shop around but the only available package when I bought it was the fully boxed chargered and x 2 batteried monte.
Having said that I now use those batteries for everything as they are the new lightweight ones.
When do you use that little washer
Could you tell me a time stamp in the video as to what your referring to? I'm assuming it's the blade attachment washer, but I'd like to be sure
Can the angle of the head be adjusted
To bevel the blade you mean? No. It's fixed
I attach rubber pvc fittings to my dewalt tools so I can put them on any vacuum I have handy
That's an awesome idea. Didn't even occur to me. I'll have to pick one up next time I hit up Home Depot.
Duct tape
Has anyone tried it to cut drywall with the dust shroud ?
I personally stopped cutting drywall with any kind of saw a few years ago due to the sheer amount of dust it produced, even with vacuum attachments near by. But honestly this should work perfectly fine for drywall.
Dewalt blades are incredibly terrible. Diablo is a must.
Its nice they even include any. Good burner blades for the video sample but will switch to diablo when these burn out
Hello bro when is it going to be available in india. Any idea by anyone.
That I do not know. It's been available in the US for almost 2 years now
@@thehousemann oh thank u. India is just backward country. Can't even provide this great tool. Nwz nice video. 👍
My one vibrates abnormally vibrates, is it normal?
No. Mines smooth as can be. Have you tried a different disc? Seems like a balancing/improper mounting issue.
If Dewalt angle grinder can do these works, then what is the purpose of it?
Usually these run a smaller diameter and thickness cutting disc. But an angle grinder will do the same.
I don’t know what it’s actually intended for but man let me tell you, for hardy siding; this with the vacuum hooked up, will never ever ever go back
@@lotus_8773 Yea I need to get the adapter to make it work with my shopvac
Compact and quick for cutting screws and rebar for me.
the dewalt angle grinder will kill a flexvolt 9ah battery in 15mins... this thing would last much longer with even a XR 5ah battery im sure
Do they make a stand that would turn this into a mini chop? For plumbers?
Not that I'm aware of

Can u buy a wood blade for it
I don't think they made a wood specific blade in 3". However a general purpose blade would work
Well you don't lose the depth guard if you don't use the dust collector.. you just don't use the dust collector.......
It's the dust collector and depth Gauge are built into each other..
sure but you can just.. ya know.. not connect a vacuum
@@thehousemann
The issue is not the vacuum tho.
I don't think I follow, what is the problem? Can't you just use the depth gauge with the dust guard but with no vacuum connected?
@@thehousemann
¿Se puede cortar madera ? Saludos
Si. Solo tienes que ponerle el disco correcto
Ppdrias hacer una demo, 🙌
What happens use this cut wood
It will cut wood. I've used it some for some quick cuts. It'll burn the wood through as its more of a friction cut than a wooden blade cut, if that makes sense.
For wood cutting it is best that I have found to use a blade like this.
www.amazon.com/dp/B09LR845HH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
That do make blades with teeth for cutting wood with this but first off the blades having teeth seem to be more prone to kick back. And you have to switch the blade around it you want to cut the other way. The blade I linked to cuts both ways.
So basically like a grinder?
Basically, really depends on the type of disc you use. Though for true grinding, I'd recommend a horizontally mounted wheel (diff tool) .
More for cutting than grinding, I used to use pneumatic cut off wheels as a mechanic a lot and this looks a little more bulky but thinking of buying one. I drive tow truck and need something to cut cable guard rails when cars and semis get tangled in them and busted winch cables. Might be good for cutting off loose parts on wrecked vehicles too. I’m thinking a grinder with a cutting disc might work better for that but this would take up way less space.
@@aidenschvatkok5732 I think you will really enjoy this guy. The size is awesome, I guess I should of done a size comparison in the video (noted for next time). But the power output for something of its size was impressive.
Worst case scenario, you could try it out and return it if it doesn't fit your needs, but I'm sure it'll be one of your new go to tools.
Ya it just depends on your task, sometimes you have to turn a reg grinder sideways to cut something this would be better in that situation. I'm sure concrete workers and people who work with rebar everyday would love to have it, hanging on their hip to cut their rebar real fast and keep going
@@Lee-lb9qh we've been using it on intricate hardi plank cuts and it's been amazinggggg
You say it is super powerful because of the 10ah battery. That battery is no different then a 20volt, 5ah battery. The amp hour is the stored energy giving you run time and the 20 V is your power. So any Dewalt 20 V battery will give that tool the same amount of power. Just my two cents worth added here.
Cheers
Thanks so much! I always wondered about that. As that 10ah is massive
@@thehousemann I also have 2 of those batteries and same mower. The mower is awesome. I have about 20 different Dewalt batteries and MANY Dewalt tools. Probably too many but can anybody say you have too many tools? LOL. Cheers
@@newt2010 ha! I'm the same but with Ryobi, my whole garage is littered with Lime green tools. Slowly expanding my collection to include other brands. Hoping the garage will look like a bag of skittles when I'm done 🤣
There are several video's on YT that show larger batteries pushing higher torque numbers if the electric motor calls for it. Torque Test Channel & ProjectFarm both tested this.
The larger batteries push more wattage. It may be worth you looking in to.
Now this or the multi tool ?? 🤔
Completelty different purposes. Depends what you'll be using it for. I use my multi tool and this almost equally
can you put a 4 inch cut off blade in it?
Nope. Won't clear the protective shroud

Did you notice that the markings that indicate direction of rotation are wrong? Not a show stopper. Kinda funny actually. Must have been embarrassing for the designer if he ever discovered the error.
You know, now that you mention it. I did notice something like that. I've tried to verify the blade direction, as it always felt like the sparks were going the wrong way, but couldn't as the blade spun so fast. Never really pursued the issue, just adjust the switch to what felt right 😅
REVERSE! 😂

It does
@@thehousemann You did mention it ; my bad THX… be well!

Thanks for sharing. The instructions that came with the tool are not useful for me.
I don't think anyone got any use out of those instructions 😅
Thank you.
The manual is poor.
Seems to be an issue always with Dewalt. When I did the 20v mower, the manual was horrible. But I'm glad I can help
@@thehousemann
Your video was hugely helpful!
Thank you!
Umm.. what’s the point of this tool. An angle grinder is far superior to that toy.
Smaller, lighter, and more so for plunge cuts than grinding.
You would not say that if you got you hands on one. You need to find some one that has one and borrow it. But the way DeWalt is not the only company making this same tool.
That honestly looks more dangerous than a grinder. No 2nd handle. Exposed blade on body side for right handed handlers.
I'm right handed and found no issues with it. Even if you're using it left handed there's still exposure to the balde, though less.
Which company is better ? Dewalt or Milwaukee ?
Honestly. I find them about equal. I have tools in both brands and I'd rather them both on the higher end of the spectrum.
You might find more variety of tools with Dewalt. But haven't had any issues with Milwaukee either.
I always recommend you go with the tool you have the most batteries and other tools for, for simplicity
