Finally pulled the trigger on a ROS65VC. Its a big sander with a 6 inch pad. Its actually cheaper to buy the 6 inch version and the 5 inch pad separately rather than the buying the 5 inch version and getting the 6 inch pad separately. Really looking forward to the reduced vibrations!

That Castle 110 Pocket Hole Machine in the Stumpy Nubs video is pretty impressive. I like the fact that the hole that it makes is more centred on the board

Finally(!) pulled the trigger on the Bosch GAS18V-02N 18V Vacuum.

Its smaller than I thought it would be and its lot quieter than the Ridgid 18v or the Ryobi 18V. The cyclonic action is good and the suction has been really good cleaning up on my desktop sized cnc

The dust boot is a new design and it looks like it extends further down and has a flap on top that stops the bigger dust particles from spraying up and out

I’ve replaced the original dust boot with Dan’s design and one of my designs. its always a trick to get the boot material to be the right thickness and right stiffness to work with both 3/4…[Read more]

I really, really want the dust boot on the new axial glide miter saw

I hope that Bosch sells that as a part AND that it fits the older axial glide saw

I know the new model is coming but it seems a little ridiculous to be pricing the old one at $45 CDN off the regular price

Wow that’s a steal of a d…

For a first time CNC user, the system works pretty well. It runs gcode from virtually every program, the spindle can be upgraded right up to 600 watts, and it has a solid community of users.

I’ll vacuum everything by hand with the Bosch (or Makita). Although there are aluminum spindle holders and 3d printed holders that have a vacuum port and…[Read more]

Has anyone used the Makita DVC750 18V vac and the Bosch GAS 18V-3N?

The Makita has a blower on the exhaust port but its almost $100CDN more than the Bosch. I’ve got both systems so batteries aren’t really a consideration

Thought that this was a pretty good idea for squaring up a track saw track

I’ve been using a Freud blade as well. Higher tooth count than the Makita. Smooth cuts

I just did some research and the earliest Chinese designed self supporting bridges (rainbow bridges) are from around 1030 AD.

@smallerstick
Thanks for posting that video. It was great to see the combination of hand held power tools with the use of the robots for the specialized cutting and trimming. That must have been an incredibly expensive car port

It was also a nice surprise to see the Bosch drills in action

Up here in Canada, RONA has been selling a lot of old stock and clearance products including tools at 75% off the regular price. Apparently, Lowes wants RONA to consolidate product lines with them. Great for consumers who are able to take advantange of the deals
