Chet Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Weird thing happened here in Northern California a couple of weeks ago, it rained two different weekends. We actually had 1.5 inches of rain between those to weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'd be sick too if I had that job to look forward to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Finally back in the shop after being sick the last 2 weeks. Had a quick visit so only got the drawer sides cutout and the drawer slides installed. I only went with 2 drawers. I figured two 10" would fit that better than a 10" and 2 5" or something weird like that. Also am now in the market for a good circular saw due to a few space issues breaking down this last sheet of plywood. I was thinking this ... Makita 5007MGA Magnesium 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Electric Brake https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RQ68V2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JB5kybQ8PF4T8 Thoughts?

treeslayer Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 progress is progress whatever way you look at it, nice work and glad to hear you're back in the shop. i have a Skilsaw worm drive magnesium with the blade on the left, i'm right handed so the blade is visible most of the time when I'm making a cut, it is a heavy beast but i haven't found anything it won't cut.

..Kev Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Glad to see you back in the shop Drew! I have that circ saw and it's been good to me although, I don't use it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 BW have you considered implementing fold down infeed and outfeed support? I'm about to upgrade to a 735 from my delta and that's the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true and thanks! Ok I'll look into that as well. Glad to see you back in the shop Drew! I have that circ saw and it's been good to me although, I don't use it much. Thanks! Being sick suuuucks! Especially when your coworker gives it to you on a work trip. Stock blade good enough? BW have you considered implementing fold down infeed and outfeed support? I'm about to upgrade to a 735 from my delta and that's the plan. No I haven't really thought about making my own. I am planning on buying the infeed and outfeed tables that are built for it. Figure they will be good enough and haven't heard much bad about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything bad about them either but I figured 18" tables would give better support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dknapp34 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I just got a Dewalt corded Circ saw this summer and it's been great. Used to build a deck. Haven't broken down sheet goods with it but I imagine it would do that well too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I am like Dave I have a worm drive Skilsaw and it never lacks for power and isn't much more then the one you are looking at. I use Black and Decker Piranha saw blades in mine and get good life from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I would think anything with a worm drive would be solid enough to do what I need easily. I will give the stock blade a go but if I get too much tear out I'll look into a better combo blade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 @bushwacked, I use a Makita 18V saw, with a Freud Diablo blade installed - in combination with a Bora guide rail and it's worked perfectly. The versatility of working wirelessly if you want to rip big sheets down is great. It's also done many BF of walnut etc with no problems. Slow and steady and I always feel I have complete control. I also had a great big blue Bosch (can't remember the model nr) but it just gathered dust after the Makita arrived so I sold it. Have had many years of use out of it now. I do have the Festool track saw which is great, but for quick cuts the Makita is fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
