At last! A German made mag drill  for under £300 ex vat.

Many manufacturers have released magnetic core drilling machines that achieve the price point, but never before has such a quality machine been available for such a brilliant price.

All the quality you would expect from the most popular Magnetic Drilling Machine manufacturer Alfra, but at the right price.

“Tool Force” is the force with which you can press the annular cutter on a steel plate before the magnet starts lifting off.

It is depending on the magnetic power and the drill geometry. The smaller the distance between magnet and cutter the higher

the possible tool force. The tool force is measured with the drill standing on a steel plate of 10mm thickness.

The RB 35 X lifts off from the steel plate only at a force of 2100 N.

The ELECTROWAND COMBI stainless steel weld cleaner is the ultimate tool for removing weld discolouration.
Quick, easy to use and brilliantly effective.

The Electrowand Combi will remove weld discolouration WITHOUT damaging the surface of the material at all.
Stainless steel balustrade manufacturers, fabricators of hygienic stainless steel parts and also environmental ductwork are just a few examples of where this machine has been used with great success.
It’s great news that there is finally a viable alternative available to pickling paste – the hazardous chemical that has traditionally been used for this job – which is banned in many countries.

The brush offers excellent versatility so that difficult corners can now be accessed without any fuss.

The paddle offers fast cleaning on easy to reach areas

This tool comes complete with everything you need :

wand assembly to operate brush

wand assembly to operate paddle and sock

earth lead with crocodile clip

mains lead – 110v or 240v

1 x pack of EW-500 pads (pack contains 20 x pads)

stainless steel insert (paddle)

long life brush.  (2 x supplied)

0.5 litre of Electro-Wand solution.

spill proof reservoir for solution

0.5 Litre of Electro-Wand Neutralising Agent

They are the first machines to use a microprocessor to control power output to the wand. This has the following advantages:

Power protection – both the machine and work-piece are protected against power overload. In the event of a short circuit – perhaps resulting from the cleaning pad wearing through – power to the wand is switched off within 40 milliseconds. Previously, power overloads might have caused burn marks on the work piece or damage to the machine. Once the pad has been replaced, power is restored by cycling the on/off switch.

Power control -  power to the wand may be turned down if working with thin or fragile material, keeping temperature lower to avoid damage. Alternatively, it can be turned up to clean effectively on more heavily stained work. At all times power can be kept to a level that avoids overheating the acid solution, which can result in unpleasant fumes. It also keeps solution use to a minimum therefore reducing costs.

The Combi uses high power for fast cleaning with the paddle and lower power for working with the brush. The ingenious Combi will switch power output automatically when the operator changes from paddle to brush or brush to paddle. You can still use the power controller to fine tune the setting you prefer.

Ultimately, this machine is far less expensive than the “ Tig Brush ” but just as effective in removing the discolouration after a tig weld.

Another hugely attractive feature of this machine is, how easy it is to use. You do not have to be a skilled craftsman to use it – if you can use a brush you can use the Electrowand Combi !

We have just received delivery of the latest model plunge cutting saw with rail from Festool. Here is a breakdown of its best features:

For high-quality working results: the guide rail guarantees clean, splinter-free cuts. The TS 55 R is fitted with adjustable jaws to enable the saw to operate without any inaccuracy.

Designed for an even wider range of application possibilities.

• Sawing joins on floors, ceilings or even doors from a distance of 12 mm
• False joints between 12 and 46 mm wide are created in no time at all – with the false joint stop (available as an accessory)
• Machining different materials such as plasterboard, building panels, plastics such as plexiglas and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium
• Cutting recesses in doors or kitchen worktops
• Well prepared for any challenge – saw blades are quick and easy to change with FastFix blade change

The splinterguard is easy to position and can be exchanged with the transparent viewing window without using tools. The combination of a splinterguard and guide rail guarantees splinter-free cuts on both sides.

The new, spring-loaded riving knife positioned in front of the saw blade can be easily inserted in an existing kerf, e.g. when moving the guide rail.

The saw blade must be positioned perfectly on the scribe mark to achieve perfect cutouts, e.g. when making plunge cuts in kitchen worktops. The transparent viewing window also provides a perfect view of the end of the marking, for example, in corners.

This great new tool is on display and in stock at our Cardiff tool showroom our Bridgend tool showroom and available to buy online. Click here for more details

Thanks to their compact and lightweight construction the new 4.0 Ah Metabo battery packs are really handy in combination with machines such as the Metabo SB18LTX Cordless Drill. This guarantees optimum ergonomics and fatigue-free working even for demanding jobs.  Although their capacity has risen significantly, the new battery packs have not put on any weight compared to the preceding generation.

Thanks to the superior Metabo Ultra-M technology they are the only powertool manufacturer who is able to grant 3 years of warranty on  Li-Power battery packs – without limiting the charging cycles!

All the staff at Data would like to send their seasons greetings.Thank you for all your business.
