Disk saw "Interskol DP-1600": characteristics, purpose, reviews

Woodworking to this day remains a rather laborious kind of activity. This fact is relevant even with the appearance of appropriate equipment. In the first half of the last century, the first circular saw was produced, which facilitated the cutting of wood and raised labor productivity.

Not so long ago, such devices could be found only in professional workshops, already today they are available to a wide range of consumers. However, by visiting the store, you can get lost in a variety of choices, so before making a purchase you need to figure out which model will suit you more than others.

Among other factors, you should always consider the power, because it affects the cost. If you do not plan to use the saw every day for a long time, it is better to buy a household or semi-professional model, it will cost less and will save you extra functions.

Features of choice

Disc saws for cutting metal are universal devices, because the unit will be able to cope with the metal, and soft materials to it will be all the more on the shoulder. If we compare these models with angle grinders, then we can note that the first instead of the abrasive wheel have a toothed disk, which is made of tool steel. Therefore with the help of a circular saw it is possible to cut profiles and sheet steel, as well as alloys and non-ferrous metals.

Recommendations for selection

For the manufacture of cracks, grooves, gutters and other similar work, the most commonly used submersible circular saw. With its help in the tabletop it will be possible to cut out the opening for the installation of the sink, because the design allows to carry out the sidebar in any place. On sale it is possible to meet also accumulator disk saws which do not demand connection to a network and make a competition to traditional network models. Having familiarized with the assortment of the described equipment, you should pay attention to the model "Interskol DP-1600", which will be discussed below.

Before you purchase Interskol DP-1600, you should pay attention to the fact that the equipment does not have the option of adjusting the speed. The unit weighs 5.5 kg. He is not able to maintain constant revolutions under load. For some consumers, the overall dimensions are important, in this case they are equal to 348 x 263 x 240 mm. The maximum depth of the cut is 45 mm, which is true if the angle of 45 ° is observed.

Reviews about the positive features

Consumers often pay attention to the model DP-190/1600, which, according to consumers, has many positive features. Among them, it should be noted:

• The possibility of keeping the workplace clean;
• Convenient operation;
• Adjustment of the angle of inclination.

"Interskol DP-1600", as the buyers claim, has a rather convenient function that allows to keep the workplace clean. This is possible thanks to a special nozzle, which allows you to connect a vacuum cleaner to remove sawdust. With regard to convenient operation, the saw blade can be securely fixed in the hands, for this the manufacturer provided convenient handles in the number of two pieces.

Additional advantages

The operator can adjust the angle of inclination from 0 to 45 °. The customers consider the high reliability of the structure as additional advantages, as well as the lower casing intended for protection. It hides the disk in an idle state.

On the main handle there is a rubber lining, which guarantees the possibility of reliable retention and grip of the tool during its operation. The circular "Interskol", according to the home masters, is excellent for various kinds of carpentry. It has a fairly compact size, and also provides protection from accidental activation.

Customer feedback on safety measures when using the tool

Specialists and home masters especially emphasize that when using power tools, follow the safety instructions. The workplace must be kept clean and provided with good lighting when using the machine. If it is cluttered or poorly lit, this can cause accidents.

An electric machine, as consumers emphasize, can not be operated in an explosive atmosphere, this applies to cases where flammable gases, liquids or dust may be nearby. This recommendation is due to the fact that the machine with electric drive acts as a source of sparks, which can lead to the ignition of fumes or dust. Circular "Interskol" should be used with plugs, which fit into the sockets. Do not fork yourself.

For machines with a ground drive, you can not use adapters. The risk of electric shock to a person increases if there is a contact with grounded surfaces, namely:

• Radiators;
• Pipes;
• Refrigerators;
• Plates.

How to exclude accidents

Specialists advise to exclude the possibility of the impact of rain on the electric machine or the operation of equipment in wet conditions. Moisture can get inside, increasing the risk of electric shock to the operator. With the cord should be treated as neatly. It can not be used to move or drag a machine. The tool should not be exposed to oil, heat, moving parts or sharp edges.

If you plan to operate the equipment outdoors, you should use an extension cord that is suitable for this, which will reduce the risk of electric shock to an individual. If "Interskol DP-190-1600 m" is to be operated in wet conditions, then it is mandatory to use a power source with a protective shutdown device.

Replacement of the anchor of the circular from the manufacturer "Interskol"

The electric motor's anomaly can fail, this is due to overcurrent. When the cutting tool is skewed, the speed of rotation of the armature decreases. At this point, the reactive component of the winding current is reduced. In the case of circular saws, this situation occurs when the operator tries to quickly cut raw boards. If the anchor Interskol DP-1600 is out of order, then it must be replaced, having previously dismantled the saw.

At the first stage, the safety cover must be removed, and a special tool must be used to remove the counter-washer. Some masters for this involve a drill, bent roundlogs and rivets. The next step is to remove the manifold cover and handle, which will free access to the worm gearboxes.

If you have a disk saw "Interskol DP-1600", then you must remove the reducer, the bolts for attaching the flange of the main bearing and bend the gasket of the handle by removing the brushes. The burnt anchor is removed from the main bearing flange. Now the master has to knock down the bearings from the shaft, acting from the side of the worm and the collector. For this it is better to use a puller, but if it was not at hand, then you can use a powerful key, having carried out a preliminary clamping in the vice.

Features of work

It is necessary to knock the shaft of the armature by knocking down the bearing. The root bearing is knocked down by the same principle, but the emphasis must be placed on the flange protrusions. If you purchased a circular saw "Interskol DP-1600", then after removing the bearings they can be installed on a new anchor, acting by tapping at the end of the part. The bearing is mounted on the shaft gradually, in the next step it is possible to assemble the saw in the reverse order. It is important to ensure that the anchor is not touched by something hard and sharp. Otherwise, you may damage the armature and winding collectors.

The cost of some parts of the circular from the manufacturer "Interskol"

If you purchased Interskol DP-1600, spare parts for it may be needed during operation. For example, the cover of the engine housing will cost the consumer 130 rubles, as well as an electric brush. Handle can be purchased for 200 rubles. But the engine casing - for 330 rubles. The stator assembly is offered for sale at 800 rubles, while the anchor with the fan costs 1,260 rubles.

Wood chipboard sawing

Cutting the chipboard with a circular saw can easily be carried out independently. It is important to exclude the possibility of hands reaching the sawing area. The operator should not touch the disc. When operating the equipment, it is important to hold the additional handle with the second hand. If you use both hands, then you will be protected from cutting the disc.

Do not hold hands below the workpiece. Adjust the depth of the cut, which will depend on the thickness of the workpiece being processed. From the part, the disc should protrude to the full height of the tooth. Hold the saw piece on your knees or in your hands. The workpiece must be fixed on a stable stand. This condition is quite important when it is necessary to minimize contact with the saw blade.

If the laminated chipboard is cut in the longitudinal direction, a straight guide bar or stop should be used. This will improve accuracy and reduce the possibility of jamming the disc. It is important to use the saw blades of the correct size and working elements with the corresponding mounting holes. If you have to saw large enough and thin sheets of chipboard, it is important to reduce the risk of recoil, which can occur due to jamming of the disk.

The workpieces must be securely fixed to the supports. Saw blades must not be damaged or blunt. The disc will rub against the material if you use working elements with insufficiently diluted or blunt teeth. This will cause a narrow cut, and may lead to kickback and jamming of the saw.

The lower guard can be opened manually, if you perform an inclined or inclined special cutting. The lower guard is opened by the retract lever and released as soon as the disc is inserted into the part.

If you plan to perform any other work, the lower guard should work automatically. With inclined cutting of the chipboard, the value of the depth of the cut will not coincide with the true value if the installation is on a scale of 8. The depth of the cut must be measured from the top of the tooth to the edge of the groove with a special tool. It is important to determine the quality and type of wood to properly choose the saw blade. This is also affected by the type of cuts, which can be transverse or longitudinal. In the latter case, a long spiral chip will form. If you plan to saw oak or beech, it is important to remember that the chips from these types of wood are especially harmful to health, so you should work with a vacuum cleaner.

Conclusion

"Interskol DP-1600", which you could read about above, should be serviced according to the instructions. Consumers claim that before starting such manipulations, it is necessary to remove the plug from the socket outlet. In order to ensure safe and high-quality work, the ventilation holes must be kept clean at all times.

If you notice that when the equipment is turned on the electric motor does not work, the circuit breaker may be faulty. Consumers argue that this malfunction is sometimes indicated by the absence of a collector contact with brushes. Quite often the latter are damaged or worn out.
