Awesome video, very informative also thank you so much for putting the product in the description. I bet its better quality than whatever Amazon would give me!
People need to be careful with different blades. If the blade is not rated as the same speed as the saw it can fly apart. Also the 3" saw is not variable speed and can go 20k.
@@TMFXLLC I just a bough the M12 FCOT. I love the solution and I hope you keep doing this sort of thing. BUT you wont be able to do that if you keep leaving the battery in when your changing blades and you start losing fingers. Sorry to sound like a safety rep but its a shit loud easier to take a battery out then re-attach fingers and those carbide blades are incompatible with flesh & bone. I just watched a guy do the Dremmel blade and I think this is a better solution so keep those fingers attached. 👍👍 One thing you can try with those fine slitting saws is to grind of teeth to leave gaps for the swarf to get carried out of the cut. I've seen machinists do that particularly with metals like aluminum which likes to clog cutters. It would be best of all if Milwaukee simply made their own dedicated blade for this. If they don't somebody will.
I work installing ac ducts and sometimes you have to cut the ducts on small spaces where this would come in handy . Do you think this could cut sheet metal ?
@@TMFXLLC thanks for info bro! I was wondering if the carbide blad the comes with can cut wood/plastics, the in a search you vid came up, from the diff ahape to you blade in the video, I assume the carbide blade is not for wood?
The Proxxon blade diameter is listed at 3-9/64". At the 3:00 mark, it is stated the Proxxon 28732 blade is 3-3/8". That is 3.375 inches. Amazon's description lists the Proxxon blade diameter at 3-9/64" or 3.141 inches. This is a difference of 0.234 inches. 3-3/8" diameter blades will not fit inside of the blade guard. I found a few other 3" blades on Amazon that should work. One is rated for 20,100 RPM. I already had a 3-3/8" carbide tooth blade with an arbor I made for use in a drill adapter. That blade did not fit inside the factory guard, so I made a larger guard. The factory guard retainer uses four T-8 screws.
Sounds good. Thanks for putting in the time and effort on this! I probably misspoke. The blade I use clears the guard just barely. The smaller the diameter, the shallower the overall depth of cut available. Thanks for watching!
Interesting. I just bought the Makita 18V mini cut off tool. And I had an 85 mm carbide wood blade, and it rubs up inside the guard, and doesn't run. What a bummer. So I'm ordering a 75mm one. I also made sure it was rated for the higher rpm.
Like many people with a 3" cutoff tool I wondered why they did not make a wood tooth blade for the little saws and think that because they turn at such a high RPM (mu Milwaukee 3" is 20,000 RPM) that spinning a carbide tip tooth blade at this high an RPM could be dangerous. I think many wood saws turn around 5,000 RPM. The tool has a variable speed trigger but is hard to limit RPM. Would be nice if it had switch or button to limit.
I just bought the tool. And I stumbled on your great short video by sheer luck. I am going to have to get a shop to make me the adapter. I am having trouble reading the dimension below the .020. The shoulder depth is?
Hey a fellow WRX man I'm actually going to be restocking soon and I think I'm going to do the next batch and steel so if you can hang out a week or two keep an eye on my website.
I'm a floorlayer and wanted something to replace having to cut 6mm with a knife or jig thought this tool was perfect but didn't know how well it would deal with wood
Hey man thanks for watching! I use it almost exclusively to cut underlayment! The high RPM makes it relatively low torque so you can stall it out but it also zips right along once you get a feel for it.
Use at your own risk. I've used mine for years without incident. You're not getting max rpm out of the motor when cutting, and in fact you need to modulate feed rate due to low torque. You're welcome to source another blade that will fit ;)
Thank you for the informative presentation. I have Milwaukee cutoff device and I was hoping to buy a set of the adapters, you spoke of. Regretfully, you stopped manufacturing it. Would you not make them any more, if I may ask? And where do I get the cutting wheel, you exhibited? Let me know. Thanks and regards.
Hi there. I'm pretty sure the Bosch mini 12v grinder uses 3 inch blades and these have been around for over 5 years. This is the model number, maybe this will help people since there should be no conversion necessary. GWS 12V-76 PROFESSIONAL They sell multiple types of blades aswell as the multi wheel for general cutting including light metal.
It looks like that tool isn't sold in the US, which is where I've sold the dozen or so adapters that I've sold so I guess that makes sense. Plus if you've already got M12 batteries and this tool, $50 is a nice expansion. Good looking out though, thanks for watching!
@@TMFXLLC Thanks for the video. I have been trying to get something to replace my corded dremel saw to do accurate plunge cuts in 1/2" plywood. Is the tool difficult to control in wood given the high rpms?
@@Ryndog Thanks for watching! It's actually easily stalled out as the high RPM and low rotating mass equals low torque. What exactly are you trying to do that you can't do with a 6 1/2" circular saw?
Could you make me an adapter for $20 so I can use the Proxxon blade? The saw comes with a 3/8 inch (9.525mm) flange. They also have a 7/16 inch (11.1125mm) flange in the box that can be used with a Dremel blade. I called one machine shop and they want a minimum of 1 hour ($125) to work on anything
This is a dangerous tutorial video to post. A lot people do not recommend angle grinders to cut off wood even with the right blade. Most grinders runs @ 12,000 rpm. It is just too fast, let alone a 20,000 rpm cut off tool, that runs closer to your hands than an angle grinder
Sorry Gonzo Balls, this tool has very little torque as a result of the high RPM. If you're busy cutting, you'll never get anywhere near 20,000 RPM. With a blade like this you need a slow feed rate to keep from stalling it out while cutting, but it is very handy. Please don't feel obligated to do this whatsoever. Thanks for watching!
Hi Harold, they're available on my website. Unfortunately they wouldn't ship until next week but feel free to place an order. Just buy one and I'll do a BOGO on it. Merry Christmas!
This is completely irresponsible to recommend this. The proxxon blade is rated 12000 max rpm and the Milwaukee cutoff tool spins at over 20000 rpm. This can easily cause that blade to fly apart and seriously hurt someone. You should remove this video or explain the danger of what your recommending. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be responsible for someone getting hurt.
Hey Waddles, thanks for watching! I'm not recommending that anyone do anything but for the record, a small manufacturing error can cause any type of thing to happen even if products have been well engineered and are being used as intended. My knowledge and experience in materials and processes makes me comfortable making this alteration to this tool. I've put some miles on this modification myself and have had no undesirable consequences so far.
Yes, Milwaukee sucks doing crap like that. They are an altar greedy company. Instead of being smart and making and selling these things. They make you have to create it instead. Talk about greed. Look what they charge for the plastic pack-out crap. I call them the altar space wasters. And every inch of that wasted space you pay top dollar for it.
I dunno man, I have a degree in Industrial Design, I've worked in product development, and nowadays my construction business is based on Milwaukee FUEL tools, I think I know what I'm talking about when I say the amount of innovation and quality that can be had today from prosumer brands is incredible, Milwaukee is definitely worth the money for pros and weekend warriors, in the long run. Not sure why all the hate, try to keep it factual.
@@TMFXLLC Do the math of actual usable working space That you get to use. Then measure the overall footprint The difference is a high dollar wasted space. And I am invested in Milwaukee tools. You look in my service vehicle and Red is what you see. I have had two fuels just crap out so far. As my brush motors by Milwaukee. 1/2 drill and my 7-1/4 saw just keep living on. My fuel 1/4" impact also shows erratic behavior. But the old one still runs and runs. Yes, let's stay factual.
@@mostlikelywedoitservices6926 Usable space is one major metric of the design in question, other major factors create a give and take, it's hardly greed or bad design. You simply can't have everything. Milwaukee will warranty repair a ton of stuff for free, all you have to do is send it in through a local independent retailer. I have yet to pay for anything, I'm always asked before work commences anyway. A couple bad trigger switches, a new oscillating assembly for the multi tool, all of it for tools I bought second hand. No paperwork required. No idea where you get all the hate.
@@TMFXLLC Oh, let's not forget about their worthless chargers. I have 3 or 4 of them that are just plain crap. I have other brands and they seem to run forever. Or let's sell power tools that need the large 12 volts but they sell it with the tiny one. Really.

This is true. However this tool is high speed and low torque. So the moment you're cutting, there's no way you're doing it anywhere near 20K RPMs.
