My tool purchase has been put off for a while but good know your real world experience.
Thanks Phillip, your experience is invaluable. I did get the Dewalt 6-1/2 today (on sale for $99) and a 4Ah battery for same price on sale. Seems capable enough for most of my needs and like the...
Well I am in the Dewalt eco-system for better or worse. My local True-Value has the 6-1/2 cordless on sale right now so off I go when it opens. It's a bare tool so I'll probably internet order a...
Weight is a serious consideration as well access. For a full time framer their needs are a lot different mine as homeowner/part time wood worker.
My next project will be cutting 1-1/16 oak stair...
I was thinking Dewalt too since that's what I have already. Some pros are telling me (another brand) is somewhat better but for my use the Dewalts are very good
Interesting but pretty pricey for a corded saw
In the market for a new circular saw to replace my 20+ year old Crapsman corded 7-1/4". Getting lose, deck is a bit bent up and cord sketchy.
I "think" I can easily get by with a 6-1/4 vs the...
Thanks, chatted with them but my idea doesn't seem like it's realistic, at least with that vendor
I want to build a custom outdoor (under cover) table with interchangeable drop in ice box and drop in BBQ insert. Table top surface will be left over ceramic tiles. Venting is a separate issue I hope...
IOW long before the OSHA days... I'll use a battery powered hammer drill thanyouverymuch...
Intended to rotate while being struck like a hammer drill?
This is a curious tool I can only make wild incorrect guesses at what it's for.
It's widest at the tip with four flutes almost like a reamer except the taper. Looks like it's hammered from the...
Any idea what this tool does? Does it have any value?

Than you. I was unaware of that list of resources here, valuable
Thanks for the reply
Can someone direct me to reliable web resources for restoring older wooden tools. Some have sentimental value.
Mostly the wooden parts I am concerned about getting bad info and spoiling them....
Not getting it from Sears, from the manufacturer
I can't find much in the way of useful reviews or capabilities
Worth @250 new in box?
Any info you might have be appreciated too if you have any
Plan for 90% with rare metal uses
Thanks Fritz, if you don't mind me calling you that, for your opinion but I think I am leaning towards a Rikon 10-326 that I didn't know about earlier. Seems to do the right things well. Bigger...
Hmmm, I looked up that vendor because I never heard the name and I couldn't find band saw blades. If you have a link I would appreciate it.
Thanks a lot of the detailed and concise opinion
Considering a band saw for the usual reasons. So many models are out of stock and this Jet seems like a relatively new one with decent specs for my needs and price point.
So my question is what...
Update- After letting the above mentioned small chunk of oak get air on both sides over the second night most of the distortion was gone but still not flat enough for CNC. I set the part up convex...
I am familiar, far from an expert, in what you describe but to see that much curl over night just flabbergasted me. Means I am pretty much shut down for the winter for any CNC work. All my my wood is...
Pretty close to equal amounts in pretty shallow cuts. First 5-8 passes of light cuts I had it hot glued to a sled till flat then removed from sled and passed through another 6-8 times on a MDF...
