Power and WeightManufacturers break cordless drill users into two distinct groups. The people drill in press the first group base want as much power as they can get cabinet and don''t mind carrying heavier tools to get it. The people in the second group are willing to sacrifice power to get a light, maneuverable drill with superior run-time.The split makes sense. People who frame, build decks, or work in sub-trades like electrical, plumbing, and hvac drill big holes and drive lags and oversized fasteners. Only the bigger, heavier drill drills have the power to perform those tasks. People who do finish press work like hanging doors or building and installing cabinets don''t need that much power base and can be more cabinet productive with a light, compact tool.

A diesel-powered, base high-pressure air compressor is rated at 1,100 cfm and has a pressure range from 150 to 350 psi. The self-contained, 100% oil-free compressor has a "save all" base that eliminates fuel spills and oil leaks, making it one of the cabinet most environmentally friendly high-pressure units drill available. The diesel-driven engine stays well within the press boundaries of the EPA and CARB emissions regulations. A complete line of accessories for the compressor is also available, ranging from aftercoolers to --40[degrees]F desiccant base dryers and filters. Air compressor manufacturer, P.K. Lindsay, Deerfield, N.H., has been sold to American Eagle Accessories Group, Garner, la., a division of Stellar Industries Inc. The cabinet Lindsay air compressors are sold under the Lindsay and E.L. Smith brand names. All Lindsay compressor drill assets have been moved to American Eagle''s Garner plant and resumed full production. American Eagle press is also a distributor of various truck-related accessories. According to the company, the FRL series of compressed base air filters, regulators, lubricators, and manual control valves provides efficient moisture and contaminant removal, accurate cabinet pressure regulation, and precision lubrication for all air-operated drill equipment applications. All of the components in the series are available individually or in combination units. According to the company, its compressed-air productivity tools cut energy costs by as much as 70%, while reducing the compressor burden and shop noise levels. A 24-pg application manual shows bow these accessories provide press solutions to spot base chilling (to -40[degrees]F), dry machining, blow-off, control cooling, air conveying, static, liquid transfer, and spill pick-up. The products meet OSHA noise and dead-end pressure requirements. Welding shops require many types of equipment, including power supplies, guns, torches, wire feeders, flux-handling devices, and accessories such as cables and ground clamps, as well as consumables-filler cabinet metals, fluxes, and shielding gases. For brazing, shops employ furnaces and custom-built fixtures.
