- a quick upload review on the fly as I am away this Christmas
worth watching til the end I promise :-) I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year :-)
so the worx wx739 makerX is hear and as always I try and bring you the best worx products reviewed and detailed to let you guys know the ins and ours of the products
so I will start with its fairly unique design:
cordless thanks to its powershare battery, 20v gives this beasty up to 10a of portable power and its umbilical system means it has no need to carry the extra weight of a battery leaving you to craft and cut to your hearts content without the extra momentum of a battery, one hand on the work one hand on the power and speed lead to endless creative opportunity, it is brushless too so offers huge power for its size, standard 1/8" (3.2mm) collet means all the accessories from any existing rotary tool manufacturers fit straight in, not only that but the hub system allows for 8 other tools to slot straight in to the hubs ample umbilical cord and power up a huge range of really useful mini tools, cutting, heating, blowing, glueing, snipping, soldering, spraying, lighting, its all there for you to tailor which ever setup suites you (only one tool at a time though).
Overall a marvelous tool with innovative functionality that makes the competition look laughable, oh and it is compatible with the full range of dremel accessories too including drill press, router, table router, bench holder and so much more!
I have every worx maker accessory, love them all! I’ve gone through multiple different Dremel brand rotary tools that loose power in no time, I’ll never go back.
Okay...I subscribed! LOL Your ending about marriage of two different products merging was the best! ha
Many thanks, alot of my product reviews take an awful lot of research and behind the scenes stuff to get a smooth single take like I do, there is no trickery or special effects in my videos, what you see is what you get - awkward sometimes on unboxing videos!!! There is no take two on them!!
Great video. Entertaining and very useful.I’m sold!!
Many thanks, I am glad you found it useful and insightful into the product :-)
I just bought one and was trying to just figure out how to work it because, as usual, worx only does illustrations. So, thank you so much for doing this video! Still need to figure out a few things, but am excited!
Haha! Even I find the instructions confusing sometimes, I always akin them to those wonderful build it yourself sweedish furniture kits instructions - written in a language only my wife can fully understand! Though luckily most of the time the instructions are there as a guide and the product is fairly self explanatory.
Great review 😍 I love the little maker x it’s a nice accompaniment to my larger grinders and something you can just take anywhere. I’m mentioned on my own review you can unscrew the end piece which means you can fit a few different Dremel accessories but even better, it just makes it easier to hold :)
The portability is great, I like using it on sanding my slabs of oak as it is perfect to get round the burrs and keep the character of the wood :-) 😀 the fitment is not exact but it can accept the dremel attachments, I would say use at your own discretion, knowledge and experience, I cant honestly say I have an m32 coarse thread tap and die if things go a bit pear shaped :-P lol
Thanks very much for the info of the life of the harmony!))
haha! yes harmony is the key to happines, happness is the key to lots o tools 🙂
Thanks mate, great review! I also ordered a Worx to DeWalt 18V battery adapter, best of both world!
Link for this? I've seen adapters only the other way around. Gotta power a Milwakee with a Worx battery, do you have clue if there is such an adapter? I asked in a few online forums, noone knows about such.
@@thegrave2000 It seems YT censored my reply which contains a link. But anyway it’s a Taobao link and in Chinese. Having said that, I search around there and can only find an orange Worx battery to Makita tool adapter (mine is dewalt battery to worx tool. ) Mind you worx has two version of 18v battery, the orange one and a bigger green one, and it seems everybody want the green one here in china , and worx has announced they will change over to green one at least in Asia. Just bought their MakerX mini blower and it’s in green.their MakerX tools speed control adapter has two version for two types of battery. I am a bit annoyed with the dewalt adapter thingy and just bought one worx battery and clip it with the worx control to my belt.
@@KGBot Mine is orange but it's 6Ah.
@@thegrave2000 just found they are indeed selling worx battery adapter to every brand of power tools known to man, but for green battery only. About £6 each
@@KGBot damn! where, taobao again?
what is the difference between green and orange battery - is it a new pinout?
Awesome. I’ve been looking for cordless options for bone carving and wanted a reasonable, non-US based perspective for the Worx vs Dremel 8220. I reckon it’ll be a Worx purchase. Cheers chap.
I try to keep as unbiased as possible in my videos, but with the smooth performance, light weight, and ergonomic grip along with non restrictive cord (dremel extension wand only can be bent a certain radius and requires constant re-lubrication) the makerx also features a safety cut out where as the dremel does not, in fact if it were to get completely stuck it would toast the motor and cause a potential fire. Therefore the makerx is a winner in my book, I will also add using the cut off wheel it feels slightly strained but worx do make a specific mini die-grinder tool specifically for the cut off wheels. I will review this in due course :-)
Great job mate
Many thanks 😊
I subscribed because the end lol XD I dont have those accessories but I tried my dremel collar on it when it first got here as well haha and though I should get the dremel grip if it threads
Many thanks, I hope it is worth it and you stick around for some more reviews and handy hints and tips on worx products, going forward I am going to be reviewing all the maker x accessories as and when my funds allow for it :-D
@@mikesptworld I look forward to seeing them all, I got my rotary tool in the "WORX WX997L MAKERX Crafting Tool Deluxe Combo Kit" and the mini angle grinder in it is amazing highly reccomend picking that one up to play with.
Will the chuck of the dremel fits on the Worx too so no need to use the spanner or various sizes of collets?
Yes, ALL existing dremel accessories (including router table and extension wand) will fit the maker x rotary tool
I wonder why they don't use type C charger or cable
The batteries rely on standard 20v power packs. in the USA they have belt clips and a USB port on the hub, in the uk we have neither, I'm unsure why the 'inequality' between the USA and the rest of the world. But even they only have USB A ports, I do think worx are due to release some kind of USB C related charger, the power is now there it just needs to be harnessed by worx :-)
@@mikesptworld The battery sysyem is old technology, I mean, at least the power cable could be used as charger too. too many cables and hardware for who wants to buy just one tool.
Hi Mike!
Very good video, I am deciding to buy it, however I have a couple of doubts.
Does it still work just as well after a year?
How much usage time does the 2Ah battery give in light use from 5,000 to 15,000 rpm?
and, Can an adapter or keyless chuck be put on this tool to use other size bits and burs?
ruclips.net/video/RUQjWvc6gi4/видео.html
Just for you :-) assuming the math works the theoretical max run time is circa 4 hours on a 2ah battery, naturally you will get peaks and troughs using it but at very least you will be looking at 45 mins to an hour, problem is peaks are very high and damage a otherwise flawless average so can really mess with run times overall. And as per video the adjustable chuck does fit.
@@mikesptworld THANKS!
No problems, name me another channel that gets unique tailored video responses to your questions :-P
Do you need both the battery and the hub to use any of their products? Can't you make do with just the power hub if you're gonna be plugged in 100% of the time?
Hi, thanks for asking the question, you Nedd both the battery, and the hub then your choice of maker x tool, the anti overload / safety feature can get a bit annoying on the 38mm cut off discs so I am expecting the specific made micro grinder tool to be made with a more torque orientated motor set up and less sensitive overload stop. Watch this space as it is one of the first extra tools I will be after reviewing.
How can they call this cordless, I mean I get it but I don’t think it is.
Haha! An umbilical hub is probably a better way to describe it, though having a powerful brushless motor and no battery sure gives it a huge advantage over a dremel, sort of a once tried you can never go back sort of moment.
Hi, can yoy mesure voltage on three contacts from battery hub please? It is very important for me.
Hi sorry for the late reply, the top pin is negative the bottom right pin is max power from the battery I.e 20v and bottom left is variable voltage depending on the potentiometer output, it varies from 5v - 20v
Is there a way I can get the dremel end bit without having to buy the whole dremel so I can use the router etc for my worx rotary tool
Hi, the end bit is just unscrew the end, I showed the dremel end as a demonstration but it fits all the various dremel accessories with no exceptions as far as I know.
@@mikesptworld so I don’t need it to use the dremel router and drilling stand
If you want to use it as a proper router then yes you will but there is no reason you could not just use the generic rotating tool guides you find on ebay, amazon etc. Along with the similar mini routing bits, but if you want precision I reccomend using the proper plunge router.
@@mikesptworld so is there a link I can get the end bit from then to put on the end of the worx rotary tool so it fits into the actual dremel accessories
You just unscrew the end collar, and it reveals the threaded section.
You and your harmony can go eat something yummy cuz you rock!!!! :-)
Does this instrument have vibration
Very little, it's only as smooth as the bit you put un the end! And some of mine were not as straight as they could have been :-P not to the eye but when they are at 20,000 rpm they really show then wobble out beyond that speed, bought brand new dremel bits and they are fine, compared with my cordless dremel 4,000 series and 8200 cordless the makerx is like comparing a suzuki swift with a Rolls Royce phantom, it's a different level! Sending with the sanding drum is like sanding butter, it just feels quality, and I find it is mainly down to the light weight of the tool and the brushless motor too.
@@mikesptworld thank you!
He's calling it a beast an animal before he's even done the review. God help us lol
The only cordless brushless rotary tool on the market...... yes it is going to be a beast, and on paper at 200w compared to the dremel models it is superior in virtually every way.
agreed Dremel is too damn HUGE
I was at makers Central at the NEC even the new dremel 8260 brushless is just as big and bulky as the 8200, even with the wand adaptor its too rigid in comparison with the makerX, their solution is their engraver but it's mains powered and the cord is very restricting compared to the makerX. Overall the two machines are very different and clearly aimed at two separate areas of the market all be it performing the same tasks.
Hey
can you make a 3 1/2" angle GUARD for that thing?
Does one exist?
Can you make a video showing the upgrade guard?
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
3 and a half Inch blade..... 87mm?! On a rotary tool...... I like your mad style but that talk belongs on groups like "dangerous angle grinder attachments" I think the hydraulic press channel covered some seriously scary stuff on there...... maybe ask them to do it..... I'm chickening out!
@@mikesptworld LOTS OF 3 1/2" STUFF AND CHEAPER THAN THE 3" STUFF TOO.
SO HARD TO FIND 3" WHEELS VS 3 1/2"
