The 'dw' part of the model number was changed to 'RAS', when it was an Elu radial arm saw, 'EBS' when it was a band saw and so on. It did include in it some very good angle grinders, polishers and double ended grinders.It was discontinued with no models making it into other ranges.For a time the DeWalt name was dropped in favour of Elu. The Black and Decker professional range never really had the credibility the other two brands had. If the model number had an L at the very end this meant it was low voltage110v. Any Elu machine that had a model number that finished with an e at the digits, it denoted it was variable speed.

Elu gave us some classic power tools like the MOF 96e router, the MOF 177e router, the PS 174 slide mitre saw, MFF 80 power planer, the ST 152e jig saw, TGS 173 flip over saw and the MHB 90 belt sander. The range was made up of mostly power tools but did include the odd wood working machine. When a model finished in 1 it denoted that the machine was single phase and when it finished in a 3 it denoted the machine was 3 phaseĮlu was run along side DeWalt, and Black and Decker Professional Power tools. These were very popular machines and catered for both the professional and armature wood worker. These being radial arm saws , DeWalt band saw spares, a De Walt mitre saw, and De Walt planer thicknessers. Initially the DeWalt tools sold in the UK were wood working machines. We have dealt with Black and Decker for over thirty years selling both DeWalt and Elu power tools. To confuse things even more Black and Decker has in turn recently been acquired by another American tool giant Stanley Tools. This world famous company also includes the German power tool brand Elu. DeWalt is the professional division of the American power tool manufacturer Black and Decker.
