TOOLS Senco® Senco® P adds two 16 gauge models is adding two 16 (1.6mm brads) gauge tools to its award-winning line-up of Fusion™ cordless pneumatic nailers.
owered by a self-contained compressed air cylinder, the new F-16 drives up to 500 nails per full battery charge. It is available in either a straight (model F-16S) or a 20-degree angled version (model F-16A), and comes equipped with one battery, a charger and a rugged canvas carrying case.
“We’ve had tremendous success converting pneumatic, battery, and gas-powered
customers to the F-15 and the F-18,” says Dave Moore, Senco’s director of Fusion technology. “Now we have solutions for people who prefer a 16 gauge finish nailer.” Senco highlights that Fusion combines the best features of cordless and pneumatic
technologies. The patented Reflex Shot design delivers an instant trigger response so there isn’t any ramp-up time. Fusion also eliminates fuel cells, along with the expense, fumes and cleaning associated with them. “Many gas tool users who have switched to Fusion technology report savings of up to 300 euros a year. Plus, we’ve eliminated
the downtime cost of running out of fuel in the middle of a job,” adds Moore. Fusion’s 18V lithium-ion battery can reach an 80% charge in just 15 minutes and a full charge in under an hour. Senco also points out that the Fusion battery can be charged “hot” to save time. Senco says that at 2.7kg, the ergonomically balanced Fusion nailers are nearly 1.1kg lighter than competitive battery powered models, and can be comfortably operated with one hand. Users can choose either sequential firing or contact actuation depending on the job. The tool-free adjustable depth-of-drive feature combined with the nose mounted LED work surface light ensures accurate fastener placement and countersinks.
Dormer’s Threadsize Calculator App
An iPhone App capable of calculating the exact diameter of drill required for precise thread-creation operations has been developed by cutting tool specialist, Dormer Tools.
T
he Dormer Tools Threadsize Calculator has been designed by Dormer to help engineers and machinists quickly and accurately select the optimum drill diameter needed to create a thread.
Thomas Junfors, senior project manager at Dormer Tools,
comments: “When you want to create a screw thread using a tap, you first need to pre-drill the hole. There are formulae that can be used to calculate the recommended tapping drill diameter, but as there are numerous different types and standards of taps available, the recommended dimensions can vary, so it is crucial to get this right. The App takes the user through each of the various steps and factors to calculate the right diameter.” Unlike similar Apps currently available, Dormer’s Threadsize
Calculator is free to download from the iTunes App store and is the first in a series of Apps set to be launched by Dormer. A Product Selector App which will promote increased
productivity and efficiency by giving users personalised advice on the best cutting tool and operating parameters is currently in development and is due to be launched in 2012. Thomas states: “At Dormer we are committed to helping our
customers carry out their machining processes in the most efficient way possible. We invest significantly in research and development so that we can share our expertise with industry partners and customers alike. This App and the Apps to come all fit in with that ethos. It’s about selecting the right tool for the job in order to get the best results.”
