Makita Expands Compact And Powerful 10.8V Lithium-Ion Range

March 8th, 2012

Makita Expands Compact And Powerful 10.8V Lithium-Ion Range – Now in Stock at Buyaparcel.com

The Makita 18v Li-ion range has set the industry standard for performance and rugged reliability in the toughest site operations and a complimentary range of equally robust yet more compact-size tools are in demand. These are ideal for such tasks as kitchen and bathroom installations and other projects where access is limited. The exceptional running time provided by these Makita 10.8v tools is longer than similar voltage Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries and with a swift 50-minute recharge time these cells provide power and extended operation.

JV100D Makita JV100Dz 10.8v Jigsaw LXT Lithium Ion LI-ION Cordless Jig saw BARE UNIT ** IN STOCK **

A new jigsaw, reciprocating saw, tile cutter and even a compact site radio, join the range which includes drill drivers, impact driver, impact wrench, 85mm circular saw and vacuum cleaner. The range also includes the ‘Pink Drill’, the special edition 10.8v drill driver marketed to support the Breast Cancer Care charity with a £5 donation from Makita for every unit sold.

The new Makita JV100 10.8v Lithium-ion jigsaw will cut 65mm in timber and 2mm in mild steel. With an 18mm stroke length and up to 2,400 strokes per minute and three orbital and one straight cut blade operating mode selected by a body side lever, this is a full feature jigsaw that weighs only 1.7kgs and measures just 196mm  from the top of the soft-grip handle to the base-plate and 231mm from front to rear. The rigid aluminium base-plate bevels from 0° to 45°, both left and right. The useful dust blower feature from Makita’s 18v range is incorporated to keep the cutting line clear and visible and a dust extraction connection is provided. This compact and powerful jigsaw will be very useful in many installation operations.

LCT204W_MR051W Makita LCT204W 10.8v LITHIUM ION LI-ION White Drill Driver & Impact Driver Twin Pack In Metal Case + MR051W Radio with Digital Display

The new Makita JR100D and JR102D 10.8v reciprocating saws expand on the “easy access” principle by providing two operating switch alternatives on one tool. The normal rubberised non-slip pistol grip has the traditional variable speed trigger switch but for very tight access operations a paddle switch on the tool body only requires the operator to get his hand around the body to hold it in position and squeeze the paddle switch. This is a really useful limited-access option. With a 13mm stroke and up to 3,300spm the Makita JR100D will cut a 50mm diameter steel pipe which is ideal for all plumbing installation work on site. Tool-less blade change is a feature of the JR100D recip saw while the JR102D also uses jigsaw blades, again offering integrated product compatibility.

The new Makita CC300D tile and glass cutter is just 300mm long and tips the scales at 1.7kg. The 85mm diamond blade will run up to 1,400rpm providing a 25.5mm depth of cut at 90° and 16.5mm cut at 45°. Dust suppression is by a 300ml easy-fill water canister whilst the nickel-plated base plate resists rust.

MR051W Makita MR051W 10.8v LXT Lithium Ion Radio WHITE with Digital Display - INCLUDES MP3 INPUT CONNECTION

Maintaining the compact and robust philosophy of the 10.8v range is the new Makita MR051 site radio with two 1.5 watt speakers and full AM and FM ranges, push-button or manual tuning and full-volume run time of two hours. This 0.5kg sound system has an earphone jack plug and MP3 input connection.

All 10.8v Makita tools are available in “body only” format for operators who already have sufficient battery cells, or are supplied complete with two 1.3Ah BL1013 Li-ion cells, DC10WA fast charger and carry case. Compact and powerful, the Makita 10.8v range is set to establish new standards for limited-access tool operations.

All these new Makita 10.8v Lithium ion Products are available now at Buyaparcel.com

Weighing just 19.5kg, allowing easy transport to site, the new Makita LH1200FL has a full complement of safety features including “soft-start” initial motor run-up mode, anti-restart switch, requiring the operator to reset the machine should it automatically be switched off in operation and electric blade brake which slows blade movement immediately the power is cut.

Supplied with push stick, blade-cover and dust bag, which can be used in either table saw or mitre saw modes the new Makita LH1200FL table mitre saw has twin ports for connection to dust extraction vacuum and is available in 240v or 110v modes.

New Slim-Line Biscuit Jointer

• 100mm blade diameter 4mm thick
• 700 watt motor 11,000rpm
• Compact and lightweight at 2.5kg

Makita’s new PJ7000 biscuit jointer features the slim-line easy-to-grip motor housing from the very popular GA angle grinder machines. By reducing the body diameter, accurate control of this tool is enhanced, stability improved in operation and overall tool weight reduced to just 2.5kg.

The new Makita PJ7000 biscuit jointer is powered by a 700 watt motor that will run the 100mm diameter blade up to 11,000rpm. The 4mm thick blade with six cutting teeth will cut up to 22mm deep and is controlled by a tumble switch on the body side. This machine has six pre-set cutting depths, and an easily adjustable angle frame with positive stops at 0°, 45° and 90°. With the machine disconnected from the 110v or 240v mains supply, the drive shaft can be locked for easy blade changes. The blade cover can be quickly opened by the finger grip clays screws.

The PJ7000 biscuit jointer comes with a useful dust bag but the rotatable connector makes for easy connection to a dust extractor vacuum. This robust and accurate tool is ideal for all cabinet joinery tasks.

First Combination Router-Trimmer

• 6mm and 8mm collet capacity
• Aluminium body housing for durability and accuracy
• One-hand trimmer operation

The new Makita RT0700C is the first combination router-trimmer in the Makita range and has been introduced to meet the tradesman’s requirement for a machine that will handle core routing tasks such as apertures in worktops and edge trimming of all sheet and panel materials. By offering one rugged 710watt motor drive assembly and three alternative trimming, tilt and plunge bases, a multi-task tool has been perfected.

The 710 watt motor will provide a shaft speed from 10,000 up to 30,000rpm with a variable speed control dial at the top of the motor body with the convenient on/off rocker switch also on the motor housing. The RT0700C features the Makita soft-start system which allows the motor to spin up to operating revolutions without the torque loading. The flat top of the motor housing aids machine control for accuracy and enables the tool to be balanced safely for bit changing where the shaft lock is also an essential element. Both 6mm (1/4”) and 8mm (3/8”) collets can be used.

The plunge base provides up to 35mm of plunge whilst the trimmer base can plunge up to 40mm. The aluminium body-housing limits the tool weight to just 1.8kg and provides high durability and premium accuracy for this versatile combination router/trimmer.

These new tools join Makita’s ever-expanding inventory of innovative solutions for professional woodworkers. For more information visit www.makitauk.com

Tapworks Water Softeners – Helping you Save Energy Fuel and Money!

Tapworks Water Softeners – Helping you Save Energy Fuel and Money!

Householders are becoming ever more aware of the problems of hard water in their homes. That’s the conclusion many in the heating and plumbing sector are coming to as sales of water softeners hold up well in these more difficult economic times.

Building regulations now specify that in areas of the country where the mains water exceeds a hardness of 200 ppm, you must do something to address it, to maintain the efficiency of new heating systems and new boiler installations, which along with the key kitchen appliances, will begin to suffer quickly if hard water effects are not addressed. If you live or work in a hard water area – which is around 60% of the UK including most of London and the south east and East Anglia – you will already know about hard water. Here at Buyaparcel we are based in Lowestoft in Suffolk which is has a water hardness of around 350-400ppm. Some of the day to day effects of hard water include scum in kettles, scaling up of shower heads and limescale marks in sinks and toilets. Problems with washing machines and dishwashers. And that’s where you can see the problems.

Water Softeners Reduce Maintenance Costs

It doesn’t bear thinking about, what damage is being done where you can’t see it, inside heating systems, prime targets for hard water damage.

Boilers, radiators, pipework, pumps – they all begin to scale up quickly if nothing is used to stop it. The simple answer is to address it. Having softened water in the home can cut heating bills and reduce maintenance costs on heating systems and on all appliances. It will also prelong the life of your shower – one of the main reasons for electric shower failure is down to limescale buildup

Water softeners can contribute significantly to energy efficiency. They will save energy usage in the average home and as a direct result save money on your energy bills. It’s not uncommon for new water softener owners to save 15%, even up to 20% on energy bills, just by installing a water softener.

The problem with hard water is the limescale suspended in the water. Water is naturally soft when it falls from the sky. But when it falls on and runs through limestone based rocks which we are blessed with in large areas of the UK, before it is pumped out of boreholes or gathered from rivers and streams, gathered in reservoirs across the country, cleaned and used as mains water, it becomes hard water – with the degree of hardness depending upon the amounts of calcium or magnesium it picks up on its travels on route to the taps of Britain.

Limescale in heated water takes on a crystalline form and attaches itself to metal surfaces which make the inside metal surfaces of heating systems a prime target for scale build up unless it’s treated effectively or removed from the water flowing around our homes. Just a 1.6mm build-up of scale – not much more than a thin covering – can cause a 12% loss in heating efficiency in pipes and radiators and result in the increase in fuel bills required to heat not just the water but the limescale, to allow the heat to make its way out into the home.

As well as in the heating system, if there is an associated hot water cylinder in the home, scale will also form around the heating coil and eventually fill that cylinder. It’s estimated that the annual amount of hard water used by an average family of four contains a whopping 70kg of scale and if that is deposited inside a heating system, there’s no way that system will be energy efficient, however expensive a boiler has been installed and whatever the energy efficiency claims of the boiler manufacturer, or the pump or radiator manufacturer, it will begin to lose its optimum energy efficiency performance within a few weeks of installation and after 12 months it will be operating at well below its designed efficiency levels.

You can install a water softener at any time. They are quick and simple to install – usually no more than half a day’s work for a competent installer. A minimum water pressure of 1.7 bar (2Spsi) and access to the mains water supply, drainage and electricity are all that’s required. Many installers fit a water softener as part of the ‘package’ when they install a new kitchen or bathroom, because they know that a water softener will help keep their customers investment as good as new. But if you call them to undertake remedial work that has been caused by hard water, particularly replacing a boiler, a radiator or sections of pipework – that’s also an excellent opportunity for you to talk them through the benefits of a water softener.

There are a number of water softener options and some require no electricity called Non Electric Water SoftenersThe majority of Water Softeners sold are electric metered units which is mainly due to the cost daving.

The clever electronics in a Tapworks Water Softener automatically works out on average how much softened water you use in the household and when the unit needs regenerating – this is called a Meter Controlled Water Softener. lt also uses significantly less water to regenerate itself than some other water softeners – so it saves water and salt, which you need to top up all softeners from time to time to replace the calcium and magnesium ions that have been removed from the hard water in the softener, with sodium, which softens the water flowing through it.

Once installed they are simple to use and maintain. All the owner needs to do is occasionally add salt to aid the regeneration process. And selecting the right softener for a home is straightforward – water softeners come in a range of different sizes.

The one recommended will depend on the size of the family and the property. The Tapworks AD11 is the main domestic water softener unit that will accommodate family sizes of 1-5 people and is available with a 15mm installation kit for gravity fed systems and a 22mm hi-flo installation kit for unvented or high pressure systems.

The range also includes the Tapworks AD15 which is slightly larger unit and the Ultra 9 which is a small conpact unit for customers with restricted space to install a water softener.
