The Big Hawg Hole Cutter



The Big Hawg by Milwaukee has 3 hardened steel teeth for maximum durability against unintended nail impacts. It can cut up to 600 holes without resharpening. The Hawg's aggressive tooth form makes it up to 10 times faster than hole saws. The 3 deep gullets are for easy plug removal. Watch the video.. a little more dirtier but much faster.






What is Ice Hardened?


A product that has been Ice Hardened has undergone a treatment to make the material more consistently hard throughout the treated metal.

Ice Hardened products offer longer lasting product hardened to the core, not simply a surface coating that will wear off with use.

The Festool Kapex

Festool Kapex image
The Kapex has gotten much review so far. What's great about this tool is that it inhales virtually all sawdust before you ever see it flying off the blade. Since the Kapex slices bigger wood than any other saw of its size, it adjusts to maintain constant blade speed. This sliding compound miter saw is the first of its size to cut wood so large and achieve such precision needed for high quality results. Festool's Kapex will be launching July 1st of 2008. So get in line first come first served, and Get yours today.
