The PRO TOOL INNOVATION AWARDS (PTIA) is the "Oscar" among professional tools. PTIA Award (https://protoolinnovationawards.com ) was established for in order to provide professionals and serious home craftsmen with the latest innovations and novelties in the field of tools.

Our article below will review the most interesting winners of the PTIA 2021 award in the category "Woodworking Tools". You can find winners in other categories of the instrument here!

This year we have had so many wonderful woodworking and carpentry jobs that we have created a special area dedicated to these excellent tools. From milling machines to jigsaws and the latest cordless table saws, tools belonging to this category allow you to build houses and almost everything that is inside. Naturally, in this direction, wireless battery tools are becoming more and more popular. We remember when a battery-powered miter saw or table saw was out of reach. Now we see that consumers have a choice from a variety of models from different manufacturers. Check out our winners at the 2021 Woodworking and Carpentry Awards!

• Air filtration

The winner is the General International SMART 10-1440 outdoor air filtration system.

GENERAL SMART Floor Model 10-1440 offers some very unique features that are not found in any other air filtration system. This unit collects dust from 360 degrees around the cylinder and releases it through the top. It offers touch control for an hourly timer and three different fan speeds. It also offers an infrared sensor that automatically turns on the device when it detects dust in the air, adjusts the speed depending on the amount of dust it catches, and then turns off when it detects that the dust has gone away. At high speed, this device offers a maximum of 1,550 cubic feet per minute.

• Vise

The winner is the hybrid vise DeWalt DWHT83602 / DWHT83603.

The best of both worlds: the trigger clamping speed with one hand and the clamping force of the F-Clamp. Designed to allow the user to quickly advance the clamp and then apply additional pressure to a workpiece weighing up to 1,000 pounds.

The trigger with a soft trigger allows you to smoothly release the clamp without jerks characteristic of a conventional trigger. Hybrid clamps also include a connection function that allows the user to combine two clamps up to 48 inches (2x DWHT83603).

• Dust collectors

The winner - Dust collectors with intelligent double-action switch General International.

NEW dust collectors with double-action switch (DAS) General SMART offer a unique function, allows you to connect the tool to the dust collector, and then set the dust collector to automatic mode. Now, when you turn on the tool, the dust collector automatically turns on.

When you turn off the tool, the dust collector will continue to work for 6 seconds, and then turn off to collect the last small part of the dust that the tool produces. ALL general-purpose dust collectors are also equipped with a SMART cone to feed most of the chips and dust into the dust collection bag, a SNAP-in ring that holds the collection bag in place, and impellers with spark protection. ALL-size GENERAL dust collectors are also available with a 1 micron canister filter.

• Wireless milling machines

The winner is the Metabo HPT 36V M3612DA Wireless submersible milling machine with variable speed.

Green means FORWARD. With this 36V wireless router, you can work almost anywhere. You no longer need to be tied to a workstation. Just insert the MultiVolt battery and get to work. If you need to get the job done quickly, this HP dual-peak brushless router delivers faster cutting speeds than its network counterparts. At speeds from 11,000 to 25,000 rpm, it easily overcomes even the hardest forest.

The M3612DA is a powerful engine, cutting just over 46 feet per minute! Weighing only 6.6 pounds (with battery), it is 40% lighter * than its wire counterpart, and is equipped with a proprietary ergonomic Metabo HPT handle and a lockable switch on the handle, which simplifies long-term operation. The fast braking function stops the drill to increase safety and save time between cuts. The soft start function provides more control during acceleration. The capacity of the chisel is ¼” or ½” with the attached collet, and with a 1-31/32” cutting stroke, the cutting depth can be easily adjusted using a tool-free design.

This router is equipped with a bright LED backlight that allows you to work even in the darkest places. Keep your workplace clean by easily connecting to the vacuum cleaner via the included dust collection port. The M3612DA wireless router comes with a 2.5Ah MultiVolt battery (371751M), a fast charger (UC18YSL3), ½” and ¼” collet, a set of 7-piece guide templates, a straight guide, a wrench and a carrying bag.

Perhaps the most unique advantage of ALL the MultiVolt 36V battery tools from Metabo HPT is the possibility of switching to wired use with a revolutionary AC adapter (model ET36A - sold separately). Woodworkers can easily get the functionality of two tools (battery and network) in one. Use the M3612DA wireless router when it makes sense to work. However, if electricity is available, you will save battery life and battery replacement costs by simply plugging it in so you can work all day.

Versatility is the key advantage of a modern carpenter. Once installed in the M3612DA wireless router, the same multivolt battery that powers this 36 V tool can also power ANY 36 V Metabo HPT tool and any 18 V battery tool. When installed on 18V tools, the operating time is doubled! Carpenters now have the opportunity to add to their arsenal of battery tools the sharing of a MultiVolt battery with a 36V and 18V battery tool platform for maximum versatility thanks to the advantage of the MultiVolt System.

• Milling cutter sets

The winner is a set of bits for the RYOBI 15pc A25R151 milling machine.

RYOBI represents a set of carbide cutters (15 items). These bits can be used for decorative edging, joining and trimming. These cutters have a 1/4 inch shank and range in size from 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch.

The Carbide Router bit kit includes a compact protective case with a swivel holder for easier bit installation/removal.

• Cordless jigsaw saws

The winner is the RYOBI 18V ONE + HP PBLJS01B brushless jigsaw saw.

The 18V ONE+ HP brushless jigsaw saw is equipped with a brushless motor that provides 36% faster cutting and 78% longer operating time, allowing you to complete projects faster than ever.

Adjustable speed dial and four orbital positions provide maximum versatility and full control when performing any work. Lock the trigger for additional control over precise cutting and use tool-free tilt adjustment to ensure precise cuts. Quickly change knives with the easy-to-remove knife lever to save time at work.
