So how much do you have invested, or someone else have invested in the rig we see here?? It will be interesting to see how that performs on the ice compared to a regular Milwaukee 20 volt drill. No need for a Clam plat this way, right??
I'm a Milwaukee dealer so my investment is a bit less.The quik-lok chuck is about $45.00. The bare tool is about $199.00. The kit which is tool, 2 5AH batteries and charger for around $350. Then have someone do the machine work on the adapter.Was more of a project than anything.The motor and gears are way bigger and heavy duty than the Fuel drill, but as you said no need for a Clam plate.Same RPM and Milwaukee isn't listing the torque of the tool.
I have a Nills 10" welded to a quick release bit that is used on a Super Hawg right now. The mixer looks great for an 8". Do both chucks come off via an Allen screw? Thanks!
Yes the chucks are held on with a allen screw. Is your SuperHawg cordless?
I'm not sure.....but I believe a "superHawg" is the Milwaukee M18 Brushless Hammer drill with 1200in/lbs. So if I'm correct it would be cordless.What was the reason behind using a mud mixer? Just cause? Looks like it will work, but unless a guy does a lot of dry wall stuff I'd think more people would have a use for a drill.
Yes it is the cordless m18. I am a plumbing contractor and have used it for new construction work. I love a 10" for tip up fishing. Any word on whether Milwaukee will release the mixer with the quick release already installed? Also, will it fit a regular hammer drill driver?
I'm having a local machinist re-thread some Quik-lok chucks to 9/16 which is what most of the 1/2" drills use for a spindle.
I looked my Quick-lok chuck over. Hopefully you have a plan B. The Milwaukee drills have a rating of 1200 in. lbs. of torque, that's 100 ft. lbs. I have serious reservations that the quick-lok chuck will transmit that much torque.Of course My Opinion Only.Any competant design engineer would have a 3X safety factor and having a human interface a 10X safety factor is necessary.
They are designed for the big bits. I drill with them daily at work 2 9/16 hole through 2 x 4 no problem. I also have a quick lock chuck on my super hawg that I drill 10 inch holes through the ice with.
The mud mixer is a way stronger gear box. The gear box is only one speed, no hammer drill or clutch stuff just a gear box.
How are the mud mixer set ups working?
Do you get more holes than with the normal hammer drill?
Hey Whitefishmt, how did you get the quicklok threaded chuck to fit the mud mixers slotted output shaft? Did you replace the output shaft with the one from the hole hawg? Any other mods or tooling needed?
