Accessories added to mark anniversary

Based on the thesis that there is no point in investing in a high quality tool and then buying the cheapest available drill bit or blade, the Makita accessory products are paired with the appropriate machines to boost performance.

Amongst the new range of products are thin cut-off wheels that can be used with cordless tools, but can equally be used with mains grinders to cut steel and stainless steel. These 0.8mm fast-cutting wheels are available in 115 and 125mm diameter and deliver a fine cut that is said to leave fewer burrs on the material edges and less swarf residue from the cutting action.

New tungsten carbide grit tipped hole-saws are available in seven sizes from 33 to 83mm and are suitable for boring through soft brick, soft tile and GRP. Multipurpose TCT tipped hole-saws were recently introduced as a 9 or 10 piece set and have proved a high performance accessory. These are now available as individual items in the Makita accessory range in 21 sizes ranging from 22 to 105mm. The body of these hole-saws is carbon steel and the TCT tips are tungsten carbide making these useful hole-saws suitable for work with wood, MDF, plasterboard, PVC, glass fibre, soft tile, brick and limestone.
