Very large by "DANG!" .... It is big enough to press 4'x8' at 2" thick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 So enough to suck the proverbial chrome off of a bumper? Looking forward to you putting it to some use! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post legenddc Posted December 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Picked up this surge protector the other day so I don’t have to run an extension cord every time I plug in a tool. Harbor Freight special. It has magnets on the back so instead of attaching it to my workbench I just stuck in on the tablesaw. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted December 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Many of my tablesaw blades are made by Carbide Processors. Years ago I kinda fell in love with the longevity of the cermet II tips and I have them ground to .125" for my own reasons. One exception is a Freud P410 general purpose blade I picked up for general work. I clean my blades regularly and on the first cleaning of this Freud blade I saw this. I cleaned the blade the way I have been cleaning blades for years; nothing special. I was fairly confident the blade was fine. If it was going to toss that tooth it would have done it by now. Still I contacted Freud just to confirm that I could put the blade back into service. After a few photos supplied per their request they deemed the blade good to go. They stated that the flaw was below their expected QA level and so offered me a new blade. Beats a poke in the eye with a hot stick. When I need a router bit in short order and can't get a Whiteside I grab a Freud. Although a massive producer of various cutters they have always served me well. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BonPacific Posted December 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Christmas gift from the inlaws. Nothing fancy, but it'll be nice to have a chopsaw again now that I have room. Not sure yet if I'll go the classic miter station route or if this will live out in the lumber shed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I love that Freud Premier Fusion blade. I just cut up some maple that was to be painted semigloss black. Right off the saw the surface was perfect and after paint looks smooth like glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I was never impressed with Freud blades either over 25 years ago, and that set me against them. The ones I've bought just recently for circular saws have had me put them on all my 7-1/4" circular saws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonPacific Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 My diablo sawsall blades work alright for being cheap, but I haven't bought one for the tablesaw since upgrading to something that can handle a full kerf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pkinneb Posted December 20, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Received a couple new hand tools today; first a Hamilton Woodworks marking knife in cocobolo and second travisher in walnut from Allan Williams Woodworks. Both are stunningly beautiful tools from awesome craftsman! I am grateful that I can support these small businesses and look forward to putting both to use soon. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chestnut Posted December 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Came from the store. I'd been eyeing this set a long time. My 18v XRP hammer drills are great but they are huge and heavy. I've been wanting a small drill for a while. I snagged this set primarily because it was a kit that came with 2 batteries and a bonus choice of 2 tools or a battery. I got the battery. I don't really have any use for the impact driver but it was included so yeah. Watching people on youtube and other DIY shows that use their impact for everything including drilling holes. I really don't get it. You can hear the impact hammering when drilling a hole and that seems slow and inefficient. I do like that this one has 3 speeds though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonPacific Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I've got a handful of impact-rated drill bits. They're handy for quick pilot holes and house stuff where I don't really need to lug along a second tool. The hammer usually doesn't even kick in when drilling drywall or softwoods. Don't make the mistake of using a non-impact rated bit though... Learned that lesson the hard way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I just have the regular 12v drill/driver set, but ever since I got it, I rarely ever lug around my 18v versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m already drilling, the impact isn’t typically needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I guess i don't run many big screws 1-3/4" is the largest i use on any regular basis. Just tested the 12v impact. It's quick faster than my ancient 18v dewalt impact. The irony is the 18v 3 speed drill sunk a 3" #10 screw in pine the fastest out of the bunch. Running 3 3" screws in and out the 12v impact dropped 1 battery bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was either already right on the line or it will settle in and give better readings. My 12v milwaukees last a long time between charges.

Also interesting the 12v drill with these high output batteries is indistinguishable in speed on the #10 3"screw. I should find a lag and time them.
