I agree with Kurt it depends on the use case. Can you provide any more details on where you plan to use it?

If it is intermittent use and you are already invested in a battery platform, the convenience of electric is hard to beat for small tasks or jobs with limited power for a compressor.

If you are looking to purchase a full array of guns to…[Read more]

It is not a worm drive, you can tell from the motor position. The axis of the motor is parallel to the axis of the blade, for a worm drive saw the axis of the motor has to be perpendicular to the axis of the blade. It looks like a repackaging of their original flexvolt circular saw. Still a nice looking tool, I would be interested to feel the…[Read more]

Anyone else think this is sketchy… This account was created only to post about this one tool??

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Manufacture in the US would be one option, of course, but at what cost? At what possible benefit?

Im a spiteful person sometimes, so I could imagine selling at a loss until the SS patent is up (only a about 5 years away) and doing so to…

I built a router sled for my last project and it works nicely. Before that I used to hand plane one side as a reference then put it through the planer, but if you have a few boards to do and can get a large diameter router bit, the sled is faster.

If you have boards that are badly cupped, another trick is to rip down the middle with the bandsaw…[Read more]

I didn’t know dominoes came in 4mm, those would be great. The Domino system is so expensive though it would be hard for me to justify.

The 1/4″ dowels I think would be worse than biscuits since the biscuits are around 4mm.

I have done just edge gluing on thin boards clamping near the ends for alignment. These ones were over 4ft long so…[Read more]

This could be promising. I have a few of their pneumatic nailers and they work great, but I haven’t ever really heard of their cordless tools being loved. Maybe this buyout will force more competitive tools to come forth.

I have cut out the rotten wood down to good wood, then applied Bondo. Once it begins to harden, it slices nicely with a chisel to shape, but once hardened all the way is hard to shape. The Bondo lasts for longer than the wood under it and can be painted easily.

I think for now, I will stick with the tanked system. I am curious if anyone makes a unit that will last a long time without getting rust problems, if so what brand is the best for gas unit?

The same two points could be said about tanked systems though:
-For best performance, you should perform maintenance draining on them to…[Read more]

I don’t think your plan would work as you laid out. My understanding of the Dewalt power station is it uses all the batteries simultaneously. For this you can do math with the amp-hours of the packs assuming ideal use, it would vary some with real world use and depending on the condition of your batteries.
