That’s good to hear – I’m glad things seem to be moving along quicker again 🙂

Miamicuse wrote:Redwood, I had points deducted today as well.

I made the request to brittany but CCed points@btp to redeem the compact hackzall. I actually jumped on it too soon, because subsequently I realized I wanted to M18 FUEL hackzall instead and bought a tool combo during the holidays so I no longer needed the Bosch saw. I then sent an…

redwood wrote:Say Charlie, was that request sent to points@bethepro

Yes it was. And I followed up with a second email to Brittany, just to double check that that was right, and she confirmed it.

Could be. I don’t know why they didn’t design something that is compatible with standard discs and wheels out there. There are tons of grinding and cutting accessories that Bosch doe…

Does it kinda whine at start up and again when you turn it off.

I just use the regular shop vac bags. It has the death rattle at times even with the re-lube. Keep in mind this is the smaller cheap Shop Vac brand (4…

Is everyone else seeing Bosch’s new X-lock grinder announcements today? That looks like a really nice upgrade on spindles for sure! And now they could probably reverse spin direction too if they wanted. I wonder what other new features they have on their grinders?

Do they require proprietor discs?

Yeah, it’s jus…[Read more]

I need a few more clamps to be able to do that all the time, lol!

Hopefully you were able to get your water cooler back to 100%.

This morning I laminated top and bottom strips to most of the sides for my dresser drawer boxes.

I bought one of those once, thinking I’d need it. But it’s sat for about a year now, lol! I hope you get more use out of yours.
