So, I would go with the table saw for the following reasons:
– There are plenty of plans out there to build your own router table. You can buy some parts and accessories and make your own that fits your size needs. All the mounting plates and tracks are available, so shouldn’t be a problem.

– A router can be…[Read more]

Wow, I really should pay attention. I just now looked at the patent and that is my co-worker who I have lunch with everyday.

That being said, I still have no clue because he passed along the idea to the powers that be.

It says on it “filed on Jul 29, 2016

Wonder why such a difference in time 7/29/16 till 2/1/18? Surely it doesn’t take that long to get a patent?

Don’t even get me started. Patents can take years and years. I have had some take 5 years, maybe more. Our US patent office is broken, completely broken. I have pat…[Read more]

I came across a patent that was filed last month for a multi bay charger. Hopefully we see it soon

Hopefully, it would be nice. I am hoping it is a parallel and not a series charger, in that it can charge all of the batteries at once.

Hey all, in my never ending engineering mind, I attempt to apply improvements to everything. Was there ever a mini template to follow for intros? Could be fun to have like 5 basic questions for you to answer when you intro yourself. For example: (I am making this up as I go along, comment away).

1. Name and location
2. Current Trade
3. Previous…[Read more]

Soap box time. I hope I have earned enough respect to be able to ramble a little and you all know it comes from a good place.

This whole thread is all over the place. I wish I could just lay it all out as to why things are progressing like they are. Believe it or not there is logic behind all of this. Yes, certain products are late to the US,…[Read more]

Hey @bosch, welcome. Glad to see another person from corporate so I can have help fighting off the sharks! haha. Fun group here who love tools and love the inside scoop. I share what I can with them and tease them with what I can’t! They are also full of useful information that I have used in the past. Our biggest concern is the customer, so this…[Read more]

“I wonder how the vacuum would do with fiber glass dust”

It would probably “suck”.

I am sorry, I will show myself out now….

Hello all, still lurking, just haven’t commented in a while. Thought I would throw some random things out there….

This is all based on my opinions, I still nerd out about power tools after 20+ years.

brushless bluetooth-ready 18V angle grinder – very cool tool. Just starting out with the connectivity ideas, this tool shows how awesome the…[Read more]

Original Colt not going away. Will stay around for a while. Still a great tool, so it will be the smaller, grumpier, older bro to the GKF125.

@Doobie

Ugh fine, *crawls back to cubical*.

@MTRoads

Nothing new, continue to move forward with testing and development.

Happy New Year to all.
Looking forward to more fun and learning in the coming year!

Doobie wrote:@dadgineer, anything further on an 8mm collet for the NA version of the new Colt yet?

Didn’t someone order a 8mm collet from Europe? Wonder how that is going…

Ok, now that things are straightened out….

Enjoy…..
…..And no I was never in radio.

been in the trades for 15 years, love all residential construction from the ground up. Have done some commercial work as well, and own an unhealthy amount of bosch tools. Looking to meet some new people and learn about some new tricks and tools.

Hey welcome.

So based on our standards, an unhealthy amount of Bosch…[Read more]

Not sure of the exact screw as I am not in the office at the moment, but it is the same screw as the existing PR011.

Which aspect of it do you not find user friendly? Thanks.

If I could speak up for myself, I find by colt and my 1617 both a pain to line up to the pin when changing bases, especially compared to the Makitas in my shop.

How about how the…

How about how the GKF125 motor comes in and out of the new fixed base?
