I think that it has a few issues with the fence not being aligned to the blade but also the fence itself not being totally vertical. This is giving me a few problems which smaller pieces (400mm X 30mm X 30mm) not being square in several directions. Not by a huge amount but as I’m mak…

I saw Bosch Canada advertising on IG today – is the US version different? This one was single bevel, but I thought the new cordless miter was dual?

I’ve used a bunch of blue tools over the past few days, a lot of my OMT either cutting out sections of rotted deck railing or shaping the edge of a recessed space in the floor of the bathroom I’m renovating so I can fill the void. It was great for demo too – cut through a bunch of caulking!

I’ve been remodeling a bathroom this week. Tore out everything and am putting in a new tub and surround, built a short wall to enclose the space and will be continuing to finish it as the week continues.

I’ve seen this a bunch too – only problem for me is I pretty much only have Bosch tools already, lol!

My 4 lb maul saved the day today – I tried cutting apart this cast iron tub with a variety of different tools and blades, but just smashing it ended up being so much faster!

@boschmanbrian @gtokley I’ve been really liking the new Freak. It’s got a much shorter head and seems to run a bit quieter, which are both nice. I hate the light being down by the battery though – I always prefer to have it in line with the chuck, but that seems to be one of the main ways they cut length from the body. I haven’t really notic…[Read more]

I demo’ed a bathroom today. Got to smash apart an old cast iron tub – that was fun, lol!

I won’t be spraying any walls with it – just the furniture piece I’m making. For that it will be almost no prep and then the actual spraying will take a lot less time than than trying to brush it on.

This morning I spent a bit of time sanding the dog kennel top some more, met a client to discuss some future work and then pruned our apples tree.

@doobie @boschmanbrian I also just don’t know if there’s anything I do that REQUIRES a dust extractor…

I don’t do very much concrete drilling and when I do I either use the onboard extractor on the tool or my canister vac because I’m not doing a ton all at the same time. So is it worth it to haul that big extractor out to a site? I mean, I…[Read more]

My TOTD was my new worm drive saw. This week I cut five stringers for a set of stairs and I was loving getting to do it with this saw verses my cordless circular saw. It’s a ton heavier, but it’s so smooth and powerful! And it cut perfectly straight without a bit of deviation. I’ll be bringing it on more job sites for sure!

Thanks guys. Brian do you use the same with the gravity stand or on another stand. Do you bring it on a truck and off a truck a lot? Any regrets? Would you have gotten the smaller lighter one if you use it exclusively for ripping 2X lumber? I think sheet goods is not going to work with this…

I have a bunch of painting to do so I picked up a little electric sprayer. It’s going to save me SO much time. And the reviews were decent enough for what I’ll be using it for. I’m no commercial painter so I should only be using it for smallish projects.

This week has been a heavy Bosch tool use kind of week, lol. I think I used just about every Bosch tool I own!

It’s been a bit since I updated but this week I replaced some rotted deck boards and built a set of stairs, and hung a few interior doors. I’m starting to chase down more work for the upcoming months, but it’s getting a bit slower than it has been over the summer.

Now that I just got my worm drive saw, I’m not sure what to save up for…the dust extractor has always been on my list but it’s such a high point value item it’s hard to set my sights on it…I’m much more capable to saving for something like another FL12, lol. But maybe the cordless OMT.
