Milwaukee Launches Three Best Woodworking Collections for Woodworkers

Premium power tool brand Milwaukee has launched three types of the 'Milwaukee Best Woodworking Collection' for woodworkers and those called 'Chwimoksu' (people who make furniture as a hobby).

The 'M18 FUEL Rear Handle Circular Saw (M18 FCSRH66)' is equipped with a 190mm saw blade capable of cutting wood up to 66mm deep. It is an essential item for carpenters who do a lot of framing work, with the handle mounted behind the blade for easy straight cuts. This product guarantees powerful performance with a no-load speed of up to 5800 RPM.

The 'M18 FUEL Body Grip Jigsaw (M18 FBJS),' suitable for delicate curved cuts, has a short distance between the blade and handle, making it advantageous for precise curved work. It can cut wood up to 100mm, aluminum up to 19mm, and steel up to 10mm deep. Additionally, it features user-friendly functions such as an ambidextrous power switch, automatic control start mode, six-speed adjustment, and LED lighting.

The 'M12 FUEL Oil Pulse Impact Driver (M12 FQID)' is the industry's first 12V hydraulic impact driver that drastically reduces noise. It produces noise at 76 decibels (dB), which is half that of a typical impact driver, and significantly reduces operator fatigue due to low vibration. Milwaukee's proprietary SURGE™ hydraulic system maintains maximum torque (50Nm) longer than conventional impact drivers, enabling smooth and stable operation.

A Milwaukee representative said, "With the increase in 'Chwimoksu' consumers due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and numerous woodworkers nationwide, Milwaukee woodworking products are in high demand," adding, "As a professional premium power tool brand, we will provide the best performance to help make work more efficient and safer."

Studio Micon Co., Ltd. Launches Installable Mini-Park 'The Square' Set

Studio Micon Co., Ltd., a leading company in the ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) industry, has launched the installable mini-park set 'The Square,' which allows you to create trees and resting areas with simple installation. The Square set consists of large planters and bench sets made of ultra-high-performance concrete, enabling easy green landscaping in small urban spaces.

The Square landscaping set features a simple square-shaped design as its name suggests. It applies a design that connects urban areas and trees, inspired by the shape of a forest of buildings. The cubic large planter and rectangular bench create various urban park atmospheres depending on the installation quantity and arrangement.

The Square landscaping set is made of UHPC (120MPa or higher), boasting more than six times the compressive strength of regular concrete (20MPa). UHPC has very low moisture absorption due to its high density, providing durability safe from frost damage and salt damage. Academia estimates its durability to be about 200 years.

Jung Dong-geun, CEO of Studio Micon Co., Ltd., explained, "Green landscaping is becoming a trend recently, but it is difficult to apply landscaping solutions like green curtains unless it is a public facility such as a school," adding, "By planting trees in planters and installing them, green landscaping can be easily installed even in leftover spaces. Many mini-parks where people can sit and rest under these trees are needed."

Studio Micon Co., Ltd. is a manufacturing company that designs and produces design objects in various fields such as landscaping, architectural panels, and interior furniture using UHPC. They produce premium landscaping products made of ultra-high-performance concrete that will last for 100 years.
