Came Bender - What Is It? A Great Tool For Stained Glass Window Construction

Ok so it's quite a strange name I agree! This tools full name is a 'Zinc Came Bender' and it is a great little piece of engineering which allows crafts people to create perfectly smooth curves in the rigid pieces of zinc which are used when strengthening and edging stained glass panels. It basically consists of two movable rollers and a handle to turn them. The original piece of straight zinc is slowly rolled through the machine and each time the rollers are tightened a little. This means a slight curve is developed on each pass through the machine. With time, this curve can be made as gentle or as pronounced as you like. The zinc will still remain rigid and its profile perfect and it will add a lot of stability to your window.

Bosch Cordless Tools

The advantage of using zinc came for edging stained glass work, is that compared to the traditional lead came, zinc is a lot stronger and rigid. You can make larger and more ambitious works and if you combine this with the use of the came bender tool, the sky is the limit.

Bosch Cordless Tools

Using curves in stained glass are often preferable aesthetically than simple straight lines, so this tool will help you if you want to develop very smooth and organic forms in your piece. Costing around 0 this specialist tool really is worth the cost. Very few companies make this tool so it is almost a trade secret amongst stained glass experts, but thanks to the net, the secret is now out!

Cordless Impact Wrenches - 3 Critical Factors

So you've finally decided that you need a cordless impact wrench. The right impact is a great addition to anyone's toolbox, while the wrong one could make the purchase useless. The wrong one could either be something that is far too overpowered for what you need it for (so long as you've got variable torque this isn't too bad, but at the very least it'll likely be heavier and bulkier than necessary), or underpowered (this is much worse, because it nearly makes the tool useless). This article I'll be covering what to look for in a battery. How much power you need, what to look for in a charger, and what type of battery you need.

Bosch Cordless Tools

The most important aspect of an impact wrench is power. The whole point of an impact is to loosen those tough-to-get-off nuts and bolts, and if you don't have enough power, you're essentially left with an over-sized air ratchet. With cordless tools the power comes from the battery, and the key spec here is volts. Overall volts are the electric measurement for power. But more volts isn't always better... but it does mean bigger (if your comparing two of the same types of batteries), so if you're concerned about the size of your cordless impact, you may want to look for a battery with less volts.

Bosch Cordless Tools

How often will you be using your impact? And for how long? Are you the type that remembers to keep the batteries charged? Having a charger that quickly charges your batteries can be very important for some people. Some higher end cordless impacts have chargers that'll have you up and running in 15 minutes, while older chargers will often take up to 3 hours for a single battery. If you're going to be using your impacts for longer periods, or if you're often on tight deadlines and can't afford to wait for your batteries to charge, how quickly your batteries will charge is an important consideration.

Finally, what type of battery is the best? Nickel based batteries are the older style, are less expensive, but heavier and bulkier. NiMH specifically will lose its charge quickly in the cold. Lithium Ion batteries have a much higher energy density than nickel based batteries, which means you can have the same amount of power in a smaller package (or alternatively you can have more power in the same sized package). However Li-Ion batteries are the most expensive. Odds are that if you buy a higher end cordless impact (which I urge you do to, the cheap ones just aren't worth it), it'll come with Li-Ion batteries, so this probably won't affect which impact you buy, but just in case you are looking at older impacts, the difference between the batteries is important to know.

If you're buying a new cordless impact wrench, keep in mind how much power it's got (and how many volts the battery is), what to look for in a charger, and what the difference is between the different types of batteries.

Bosch Drill Brush Replacement

Replacing the brushes in our power drills is simply a fact of life. Just as sure as the sun rises, craftsmen will be changing the brushes in their power drills. Luckily though, a Bosch drill brush replacement is far easier than you might think. Following just a few simple steps will get you to the end of you brush replacement in a snap.

Bosch Cordless Tools

The first of these steps may seem a bit self-explanatory, but, as we all know, a simple mistake can take hold of anyone at anytime; I figure it's much better to be safe than sorry. So, begin with reading your drill's manual. This is more important than you might think; you'll find valuable information pertaining to your brush repair and to other repairs in the future. You need also ensure that your replacement brushes are the exact type built for your specific drill; any random drill brush will not perform in your model. Lastly, triple check that your drill is totally disengaged.

Bosch Cordless Tools

From this point you need to locate the brushes on your drill; they should be at the back of the tool. To expose them you will have either an end cap or brush covers. Each are a part of the housing (usually a different color) that can be removed without opening-up the entire drill housing. The end cap will be a dome-shaped piece at the very back of the drill, and the brush covers will be located (also at the back) on either side of the tool. If the drill does not have either, you will need to entirely open-up the housing, which is, essentially, no more difficult, but the brushes may be a bit more hidden. They will, however, be at the back of the motor at the very back of the tool.

After gaining access to the brushes you can simply pull them from their guide sleeves and insert the new brushes in their place. Be sure to replace the new brushes in the exact orientation the old ones were removed. Also be sure that the brushes are making complete contact with armature. And, as if that weren't simple enough, you're done. Well, almost, I suppose.

Reassemble the tool carefully and precisely to ensure everything goes back together correctly and give the tool a quick whirl testing the drill's functions to make sure all is well. If by some terrible chance all has not gone well, make sure that simple mistake hasn't grabbed hold of you and retrace your steps. If no mistake becomes apparent, take the the drill to a Bosch factory authorized service center for a more complete inspection.

And that's it; remember your manual and to always be focused and you should champion that Bosch drill brush replacement in no time.

Cordless Power Tools - Batteries Are the Key

Batteries are the key to any cordless power tool, whether choosing a cordless drill, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, or any other type of cordless tool. Battery voltage is not the single most important factor to consider when choosing cordless power tools. With cordless tools available all the way up to 36 volts, amperage/hour, and battery type must also be taken into account. Many 14.4 volt tools will outperform 19.2 volt tools due to battery type and amp/hr rating.

Bosch Cordless Tools

Battery Rating Basics

Bosch Cordless Tools

Amperage hours and voltage are used to rate a cordless tool battery. Amperage hours are used to determine how long a battery will last and voltage refers to the flow or strength of the electrical current. As I was taught in high school shop class the theory of electrical current is easier to understand if you think of it as water being pumped through a pipe.

Voltage is used to measure the speed at which water is flowing through the pipe. Amperage represents the size of pipe that will be filled to capacity. Amperage hour rates how long the flow can be maintained or how long the battery will last.

As you can see by using this analogy the higher the voltage in conjunction with higher amp/hr the stronger the battery. Cordless power tool batteries are usually available in 1.4, 2.4, and 3.0 amp/hr. The amp/hr rating of the battery can be found on either the side or bottom of most batteries.

Battery Types

There are three types of batteries used in modern cordless power tools.

Ni - Cad ( Nickel - Cadmium ) are the oldest type used and are prone to developing a memory and early failure. Even when properly maintained they are lucky to be recharged 400 times before failure occurs. Ni -MH ( Nickel Metal Hydride ) are a newer design than Ni - Cad and can develop a memory, though not as quick. The worst issue discovered with this type of battery, the higher the amp/hr rating, the fewer charge cycles before battery failure occurs. Li - Ion ( Lithium - Ion ) are the newest type available and much better, compact, and expensive than the other two types. Memory is not a problem, and manufacturers claim up to 1,200 charging cycles before replacement.
Charging Time

Is another important consideration when considering cordless power tool batteries. Many older batteries need charging after only an hour or less of work and require six hours of charging time. If you have a lot of work to perform can you afford to wait for your batteries to recharge? There are Lithium - Ion batteries available that only require 15 minutes to recharge.

Stability and Maintenance

With the high cost of replacement batteries for cordless tools it pays to follow manufacturers recommendations for the care and maintenance of these tools. Cordless power tool batteries are just like any other piece of equipment and have an expected service life. When they become worn out and need replacing it is sometimes more economical to replace the entire tool kit. The cost of two replacement batteries is often times more than a new cordless tool with charger and two batteries.

Colonial Blacksmith Tools

While many people today, when asked what a blacksmith used to do in the olden colonial, or even medieval days, they would likely say to shoe horses. If you asked them to come up with something else, they would likely to be hard pressed to do so, and likely suggest something like sword making. Most people likely get that idea, from watching too many movies with swashbuckling sword fights around the blacksmiths shop. Remember that scene from the first Pirates of the Caribbean?

Bosch Cordless Tools

In colonial times, during the settling of North America, the colonial blacksmith was regarded as the most important craftsman of his time. Nothing got built without a blacksmith, as all the other craftsman relied on the blacksmith to build and maintain all the tools and equipment necessary for their trades. Carts and buggies were often in need of repair from a blacksmith due to the conditions of the primitive roads they traveled on. Until the day of the industrial revolution in North America, which took a while to arrive from Europe, blacksmithing was the core foundation to industry in the new world.

Bosch Cordless Tools

The tools used by the highly regarded colonial blacksmith, and his lucky apprentice, weren't all that different than those used by today's hobby blacksmiths. A forge was of course essentially and quite literally the heart of the shop. Various hammers, anvils, thongs, punches, chisels, and other holding down tools were all part of the colonial shop. The process of working with hot metal to take the desired form, has continued unto this day.

About Bosch’s Litheon Lithium-Ion Batteries
These tools are powered by 18-volt batteries from Bosch's Litheon line of lithium-ion batteries: 1.3 Ah slim pack (BAT609), 1.5 Ah slim pack HC (BAT610G), 2.6 Ah fat pack (BAT618), and the 3.0 Ah fat pack HC (BAT619G). Slim pack batteries offer the lowest weight option while fat packs offer the longest run time, and they all boast Electronic Cell Protection. (Two BAT609 1.3 Ah batteries are included with this set.) This battery pack design protects both the battery and the tool by preventing the three main causes of battery failure--overheating, overloading, and deep discharging. The results are optimal battery life and performance, 35 percent more run time, and up to two times as many recharge cycles.
