Just curious… I haven’t gotten any emails from Bosch. Should I be concerned that my request is missing? Have others received their redemption without any notice directly from Bosch?

I’m going to get a corded Makita die grinder in the not too distant future to use for woodworking with a Kutzall sphere rotary burr. I’m amazed at how many models of die grinders that Makita offers. They even have a model with a paddle switch

I’ve never redeemed any points over the 6 years that I’ve been here. No time better than the present 🙂

Really appreciate the generosity of Bosch

Your wife’s work looks great. Hope she does well with her business

I agree… doing it right the first time is the way to go. Plus it gets easier and faster the more often you do it the right way

What types of things is your wife building for the craft show?

@miamicuse . That is incredibly bad. That would be an instance when I would file a complaint to corporate.

Were you dealing with the manager on duty or the store’s general manager?

The tip about flipping the asphalt sealer buckets upside down before mixing was extremely good. That is definitely in the back of my mind for when i do the driveway later this month

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

I’ve just started working with a small CNC so I need something lightweight and relatively quiet…
