Why doesn't my chainsaw cut straight?
There could be a couple of reasons why a chainsaw may "pull," or, not cut straight:
- Cutters are sharped to uneven legnths or angles. If the angles (pitch) of, say, the left-side cutters are a different angle or size of the right-side cutters, the chain may want to pull itself over to one side resulting in an uneven cut. Likewise, longer right-side cutter plates would cause the cut to pull this way instead of staying straight (the pull will move in the direction of the bigger cut). Teeth can be filed or ground to be more even - a well-worn chain may simply need to be replaced.
- Bar rails are unevenly worn. If one of the bar rails is worn out more than the other, the chain would not sit flat, wanting to pull toward the worn side. To fix this grind your bar rails even or flip your bar over and use the other side.
- Bar rail groove itself is worn out. If there is a lot of side to side play while your chain sits on the bar good chance your groove is worn out. Grab the chain and try to move it side to side. There should not be a whole lot of play. If there is, take the bar into a saw shop and have the grind and hammer the bar. This will bring the groove back to the size it should be. Or, purchase a new guide bar.
What are the advantages of digital over analogue?
In many cases digital gives a more precise answer. Specially in clamp on amps. However they are not best for everything. Below 50 volts DC, I find analog volt measuring is more accurate.
That is not a question that we can understand - please try again with a few more words.
I called Kobalt directly and they said they have many vendors that make their tools. They said if you give them a specific item # they can tell you who made it.

When was the first power drill invented?
In the early 1800's. -The first ones were run off a belt from a steam engine in those days. The first electric ones were made about 1914 for use in war products.
How do you use an impact wrench?
An air Impact wrench is a tool shaped a bit like a power drill. It holds special strong steel sockets and applies air power onto a rotary shaft a bit like a hammer drill. Used mostly for undoing very tight nuts especially lug nuts on trucks .
What are the advantages of digital over analog?
The advantage of analog over digital or vice versa , is dependent on the input information type and / or signal amplitude where applicable , also on what the application is and other considerations like information / signal processing , storage , etc. The choice is decided by the advantages as per the requirements.
As a rule the information carried by an analog signal is dependent on its instantaneous magnitude or position.Thus it is highly susecptible to corruption by extraneous noise sources which can affect the magnitude arbitrarily.
On the other hand a digital signal typically carries information as changes in
amplitude level between two ( or more ) arbitrarily predefined levels, arranged
in a predetermined format and grouping ( more familiar as a code ). As long as the digital signal can be retrived without major loss in blocks of code , the original information can be mathematically retrived.
Whenever the information and / or signal level is very small and / or in analog form , invariably some form of analog processing is required before any meaningful conversion to digital format or processing can be done.
Now due to vast processing powers of digital circuits & computers , the advantage of analog is limited to very specialised requirements where the disadvantages of digital format would outweigh any other considertions. So for all purposes it would be invariably advantageous to use digital format and convert to analog whenever required.
The only notable analog format which will always be required is for human sound & visual interface ( or for that matter other senses ) which the body perceives and processes only as analog signals , even the pseudo analog modes of Class D Audio Amplifiers , LCD Displays , Projection , Digital Printing etc. which operate in the Digital mode to simulate analog signal output.
It may be noted that the Morse Code was essentially a digital format,
while Semaphore ( uses Flag & Hand positions to convey information ) was
an analog signal by virtue of hand position.
Where is the power drill 300 in spineworld?
You have to buy the glass orbe for Maru, the big blue trade guy in the Cloud Terrace.
Can you get parts for your task force angle grinder?
Throw it away where it belongs and get a quality grinder. Lowes sells these and mine died after 6 months of minimal use.
What is the difference between hand tools and power tools?
Hand tools are devices for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands while the power toolsare tools powered by an electric motor Hand tools are devices for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands while the power tools are tools powered by an electric motor
Hand tools use hands and power tools use power.
a power tool is an electric tool like a band saw or circular saw, a hand tool is a non electric one like a file or hammer
Hand tools you use your hands and power tools you use power like air or electricity
What are three types of fuel used to run power tools?
"Fuel" is a strange way to put it, but: Unleaded Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, 110 and 220 electricity, and compressed air.
Who owns DeWalt Power Tool Co.?
In 1960, Black & Decker acquired DeWalt. In 2010, Stanley Works merged with Black & Decker to form Stanley Black & Decker.
What is the difference between SDS Drill and regular drill?
Special Direct System drills are heavier than regular drills, have a hammer action and a chiselling action and take larger drill bits and chisels.
Dewalt cordless drill chuck will not release a drill bit?
Grip the 2 parts of the chuck with 2 channel lock pliers in the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock position, then turn them toward each other. .
It can be a drill that you operate by turning a handle on a gear wheel, or a 'brace drill which is like a U shape with a handle at right angles on one end, and a chuck at right angles on the other end.
Is anyone able to tell me ANYTHING about Machtig power tools?
They are made in china and include a large range of powered garden tools aswell as a range of builders power tools. I have had experience with some of the whipper snippers,chainsaws and hedge trimmers. They are at the lower end of the price point and appear to be of reasonable quality so far. I doubt when they break that I will be able to get parts for them but if it makes me enough money to buy a good Japanese branded machine to replace it then it has done its job. To be fair these are suited for the home rather than a commercial application. Remember if it is cheap there is a reason and you always get what you pay for! Thanks from Sydney Australia
What is the difference between a pillar drill and a hand drill?
A Pillar Drill is usually a drilling device mounted onto a vertical pillar or post with some method of lowering the chuck in a controlled fashion onto the workpiece. The post is usually of cast iron with a table sometimes mounted below the chuck on which can be fited a small vice to hold the artical to be drilled. These can either be electrically powered or in older versions powered by hand. A hand drill is usually just as the name suggests a hand held drill, powered by either turning a geared handle which in turn rotates the chuck or an electric motor.
They have a turbine that acts as motor, and when air pressure turns it they rotate. Air nailers use air pressure on a diaphragm to fire a small shaft that does the action.
Use a dimond tipped drill bit or carbide tipped.
Place some masking tape on the area to be drilled as this reduces the slipping of the bit as it breaks the surface of the glass. Dont apply to much pressure but allow the drill bit to do the work or youll get tear out on breaking through. A good hand drill will do the job.
A vertical drill press is a large drilling machine that stands on a very heavy steel base. A 3" or 4" steel column extends up either about 6 feet for a floor model or 3 for a bench model. At the top of this column is an elongated box with the motor at the back, driving a shaft with a 4 tier pulley above it. The front of the box contains a hollow shaft with a spindle inside it. The spindle also has a 4 tier pulley on top. The hollow shaft can be wound up and down by the side control lever. lowering or raising the drill shaft and chuck, A belt between the 2 pulleys drives the spindle and the chuck connected to it's lower end. In the middle of the column, a table, usually about 15 " square can move up and down the column to adjust work height.
