The grinder works very easily on crown, where a coping saw or jigsaw doesn’t handle the angled cut back from the face as easily. In my experience.

Yes — the Collins Coping foot is available for Bosch and maybe a few other brands.

Depends on the Bosch, by the way. Check before you buy – as of a couple of years ago, the Collins coping foot was not available for my model of Bosch.

Demoed a bath floor, cased a couple doors, put in some baseboard, built a couple cabinet boxes, sprayed a couple doors back in the shop, wired a few receptacles. Miscellaneous Day.

Was the water underneath due to the flange? Maybe – it’s a little hard to figure out what’s due to what in this place. And thanks for the welcomes – I’ve been a member for a while, but not active at all.

Maybe junky rather than flawed. Demoed this today – soft-body wall tile installed on the floor in a bathroom, with mastic. Lots of water under the tiles.

Gloves – the heavy, inexpensive type – can significantly reduce the vibrations from many power tools.

For temporary labeling during work, labeling is great. Afterward, I view any label, including my own, as untrustworthy, and test everything as thoroughly as if the label did not exist.

A cordless driver/drill is much more useful than corded. Pick a decent brand and stick with it.

I have the Festool TS55. I got rid of my panel saw immediately, and I no longer use my table saw to cut sheet goods. I do still use the table saw to rip thin stock and cut dados.
