Power Tool News: Twist Release Arbor
The News
Milwaukee has been releasing a lot of tools lately and some say its great while others have their reservations, but either way Milwaukee just released their new Twist Release Arbor. This new power tool accessory will work with hole saws up to 1-3/16″ and works will all brands of hole saws, according to Milwaukee.
The new accessory features a tool free design, which does make life a little easier. If you have ever used a hole saw sometimes removing the hole saw from the arbors is just flat out a pain in the A**, so we do have to say it’s about time to make this a hands free arbor change. Now we haven’t tested this bit, so we are not sure how good or bad this design is, even under heavy use and pressure. If anyone does have experience with it, we would like to hear from you.
The Twist release arbor features a Thunderbolt pilot bit and solid shank, which Milwaukee states it gives added durability. We are not sure what type of material thunderbolt is or even how it is made, but it does sound tough. Our guess is their Thunderbolt is made from steel otherwise they would have made it a point to state it was made of Carbide or some other tough material. We are not saying steel isn’t tough.
