Choosing attachments for the renovator

Renovator is a multifunctional construction tool. It is similar in shape and design to an angle grinder. Its main difference from it is the absence of a rotating finite element that drives the working attachment of the power tool.

The renovator is adapted for use in combination with a wide range of attachments designed for various production purposes.

This tool works on the basis of the principle of transferring the rotating force of an electric motor to a pendulum mechanism, which creates high-frequency vibrations - vibration of the working area. The transfer of mechanical energy is carried out using a special "fork" and an eccentric.

This technology allows you to extract a sufficient efficiency from the tool without resorting to rotating the working nozzle. The excess load arising from friction and leading to mechanical destruction is removed from it.

Vibration-pendulum operating principle of the renovator assumes the presence of a high load on the transmission mechanism... To compensate for its negative effect on the parts, the rotary force transmission unit is immersed in a special grease.

The main feature of this tool is the possibility of safe operation. Due to its special design, the working attachment reacts to contact only with a hard surface (wood, metal, concrete, ceramics, and others). Soft materials are not subject to vibration, which provides a high level of safety in contact with the attachment, for example, with parts of the human body. Even accidentally touching the working area of ​​the switched on device, the user will not receive destructive damage to soft tissues.

The versatility of the tool provides a long list of replaceable bits for various purposes and their interchangeability. Depending on the type of attachment, the following works can be performed using the renovator:

• sawing wood, metal, ceramics and other materials;
• cutting out closed holes in hard-to-reach places;
• cleaning surfaces and spaces;
• grinding;
• gouging manipulation;
• other related work.

Quality and efficiency in terms of time and effort required for the work performed depends on the correct selection of the appropriate attachments and their quality characteristics.

Depending on the manufacturer and supplier, the complete set of a multifunctional tool can be supplemented with replaceable attachments for one purpose or another. Among them there may be additions that are the same in purpose, differing only in dimensional parameters, or removable elements designed to perform work of a different nature.

When buying a renovator, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the tool itself. The duration of its uninterrupted operation will depend on the name of the manufacturer and the originality of the brand indicated on the particular package.

The initial list of accessories is due to the manufacturer's desire to attract potential customers. That's why when purchasing a renovator, it is worth considering this fact and having the opportunity to purchase replacement elements from a third-party manufacturer.

First of all, it is worth determining the name of the target work, the implementation of which will be carried out using a multifunctional tool. This will save money on purchasing add-ons as well as ensure the best possible production workflow.

And also it should be remembered that to carry out the same working manipulation by the renovator, attachments of various configurations, classes and sizes can be used. Taking this into account, it is necessary to make a detailed assessment of the proposed work and draw the appropriate conclusions in favor of one or another nozzle.

In some cases, the right decision would be to purchase a specialized kit containing additions to the renovator for various purposes. This is true for those who are engaged in the implementation of construction and other technical work on an ongoing basis.

Attachments produced by manufacturers of multifunctional tools as a separate product line have better quality characteristics than complete names. In this regard, it is worth paying attention to individual units and sets of add-ons supplied by renowned companies.

High quality class:

• Bosch;
• Hilti;
• Makita.

Average quality class:

• Interskol;
• "Bison";
• "Specialist".

Before purchasing a renovator or a removable add-on to it, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of their modifications and target properties.

Nozzles designed for sawing soft materials (wood, plastic, composite and others) are equipped with teeth, the size of which may vary depending on the shape of the nozzle and its purpose. The location and shape of the prongs does not imply divorce. Common configurations of such add-ons are shown in the photo.

There are nozzles for concrete and metal. Their working property is provided by a diamond cutting edge, consisting of high strength components. They are saw and submersible. The latter allow you to cut closed holes in concrete, metal and ceramics while maintaining high accuracy. Some options for such nozzles are shown in the photo.

For processing wood and other soft surfaces, nozzles in the shape of a triangle are used, the sides of which have a rounded profile. They can be equipped with a non-removable abrasive coating, as well as a special velcro that allows you to replace sanding blades with blades of a different grain size without changing the nozzle itself.

When choosing removable attachments for a renovator, one must take into account the compatibility of certain attachments with the fastening mechanism of this tool. Its models, produced by different manufacturers, can be equipped with fastening mechanisms with individual design characteristics inherent in the devices of this manufacturer.

In their list, one can note the presence of a description of the functional features of the add-on, information about the manufacturer and supplier, dimensional characteristics, which determine the availability of the possibility of use in combination with a particular model of the renovator.
