Who makes rigid power tools?

The Ridge Tool Company and the "Ridgid" brand are owned by Emerson Electric Company. In 2003, Emerson Electric licensed One World Technologies (OWT) to manufacture Ridgid bench top and stationary woodworking power tools. Only the orange Ridgid power tools are manufactured by OWT. The Ridge Tool Company still manufactures the red Ridgid tools.

OWT is a subsidiary of a Hong Kong company named TechTronic Industries (or TTI). TTI now also owns the Milwaukee, Ryobi and AEG brands. OWT has also manufactured tools for Metabo, Fein and Senco.

Ridgid power tools are now manufactured by OWT in Asia (mostly China or Taiwan). As recently as 2006, a few Ridgid corded power tools (e.g., grinders, hammer drills, and jigsaw) were manufactured at the Metabo factory in Germany.

Is there a diffrenece between a bevel edge and a firmer chisel?

There are various ways to classify chisels: Type of duty: Framing or mortise, Paring, Firmer.
Length of blade: Butt, Pocket, Mill.
Abnormal width of blade: Slick.
Edges of blade: Plain, Bevel.
Method of attaching the handle: Tang, Socket.
Shape of the blade: Flat, Round (gouge), L (corner). So a bevel edge chisel has bevel edges
and
the term firmer applies to a medium duty tool, a more substantial tool than the paring chisel for general work such as paring or light mortising. There are descriptions of the various types of chisel along with drawings at `Sharp Edge Cutting Tools - Chisels' - http://www.inquirewithin.biz/Vol1/Tools/cutting_tools/chisels.htm.

What does drilling means?

In Army terminology, ROC Drill is a Rehearsal of Concept.

Why is a Piller Drill the best tool for drilling into a scrap piece of wood?

It's not necessarily the best. I would prefer to use a hand held electric drill for this.

Which country manufactures Hilti power tools?

Hilti Tools were originally only made in Leichtenstein, now, they are also made in Austria, Germany, USA and China.

Why doesn't my chainsaw cut straight?

There could be a couple of reasons why a chainsaw may "pull," or, not cut straight:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 is a hammer drill used for?

One use is to drill through tile without cracking it.

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.

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.

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?

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

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
