This is way better thank what I was thinking. Once you get the drawing or once you built it, would like to see it. Sounds very cool.

Great question and can't give a ton of feedback on how they will like the idea but I do know life is short and if this is something you are interested in, give it a shot. Start talking with contractors and get their opinions. Find out what their pain point is with cabinets. Maybe even talk with cabinet installers and see if you can do the assembly for them if they want to install them. Sometimes people just want to install and do not want to assemble them. But I do think it is well worth taking a look into it.

Wow, that is a cool mix of colors.

Thank you very much!

I am designing a stationary miter station to eventually build if I am able to acquire the shop I want. It is going to be an always setup built in miter station and NOT a portable one. If you were designing an Ultimate Miter Station what would your dream setup look like? What would you consider/include or not include/avoid? If space was of no issue, how big would you go? What does the storage look like? Do you go with only drawers? Only doors? Mix the two? Something else? Upper cabinets? No upper cabinets? Here is kinda what I have so far for my design. Each side of the saw will be a full 12 feet of support. The storage will have cabinets with trays for my Systainer storage. I can go roughly 6 Systainer cabinets wide and the trays can fit 2 Systainers deep. If I figure roughly 3 trays per cabinet that would be 36 Systainers each side. If I do all Systainer storage on both sides, I would have space for 72 Systainers. I don’t think I would have only systainer storage. I have bunch of tools and stuff outside of Systainers to organize and store. I will probably have a space for a trash can, maybe some regular drawers, and maybe some trays sized for my Tough System. I haven’t decided what all I want to include but I know for sure Systainer storage. The top of the station I was thinking about using the Woodpeckers Stealth Stop system for my solution for repeatable cuts. I am also thinking about going with laminate for the top with a hardwood trim around. I think laminate is a good option because it is reasonably durable, easy to clean, and somewhat low friction. I plan for the cabinets to have no shoe but instead I would frame up a base that can act as a shoe and act as a means to level the miter station. In my cad drawing I have the top modeled and a Systainer cabinet mostly modeled. I don’t have much else yet.

Makita have confirmed that it is made in the UK.

A clear, "UV-resistant" urethane, varnish, or epoxy provides good protection against UV damage.

Welcome!

Thank you!☺️

@ Altan: THANKS for the tip. I wasn't aware that Mirka made this small gem. That's what I'll go for. Big thumbs up for the advice. Lars

Title says it all. One...is there any way to preserve the colors of rainbow poplar? and Two...how faded does rainbow poplar get when it's exposed to the sun?

dewalt dc385 recip blade clamp is really loose, any ideas on how to tighten it up? or is it suppoed to be like this? for some reason it seems to be attached to the shaft with a spring which makes me wonder if it's normal but none others i see online in videos and such are doing it https://streamable.com/xxw114

Thanks! There's a big crew rebuilding an overpass nearby. Might ask 'em what they fit.

That's kind of what I thought, Thanks Altan

Welcome to the forum. The logo is Chicago Pneumatic. No idea on the applicable tool.

Hey there once again. My daytime job finds me at my buddy's 'cabinet shop' where no actual woodworking is done. We're a cabinet supplier with a little warehouse space to hold contractors' and clients' orders. We can order cabinets either built or flat pack unassembled. Over the last couple years working there I've asked a few contractors how much different the pricing would be if they got their cabinets unassembled instead of assembled...and most of them said they'd save about 50%. 100% of our contractors order them built btw. Building them is crazy easy but everybody opts to pay thousands more to have us put their cabinets together. A wall cabinet takes about 10 min to assemble and an average base about 15 min. We just delivered 20k worth of kitchen and bathroom cabinets to my other buddy's contract built house; it was about 32 cabinets altogether. If we were to have put together these same cabinets it would've taken us about a full day. So you see where I'm getting to here? Why don't I advertise myself to contractors as the guy who's been building their cabinets for the last two years and see if they're willing to order unassembled, save a ton of money and pay me maybe half of what extra they would've spent? Sounds like a win win huh? So my question is...what issues aren't I seeing yet with my idea? My contractor buddy who's helping me work on developing this says he doesn't think contractors will want to get into the minutia of adding a different step to the process they've already settled into...building houses the way they do. The way he put it is that contractors want to know one 'cabinet guy' who gets it all done from design to supply to installation. Almost all the contractors we deliver to also use our company's two installers, and my idea would make things a little bumpier for them. I'm sure lots of contractors in my city of 330k population have their own installers but my contractor buddy says that good installers are few and far in between. Of course, all I see is a big chunk of change to be made, for both me and the contractors, and I think they'll be interested in hearing about my idea. Any thoughts? Thanks as always.

The product design is confusing in some regards. The saw seems to lack features that the non commercial has. The cut line indicator is not a led like the non commercial model. It is just plastic colored in Ego green. The blade tensioning requires a tool while the non commercial does not require a tool. There is no onboard tool storage. The joint where the telescoping part is seems to have a good amount of movement up and down even in the shortest position. Not something I would expect or want in a tool classified as “commercial”. I would have liked to have seen much less play in the joints. One thing that surprised me is in addition the telescoping feature, it comes with an extension (similar to the multihead). You pull off the front end and add the extension. This gives you even more length because you can use the extension and the telescoping feature at the same time. I read you can use up to two extensions. Maybe you can buy more extensions separately. I probably wouldn’t myself. The telescoping part extended all the way out plus the extension is a good 6 ft extra in length. At that point the tool would be maybe 12 to 14 feet. It is already unwieldy at 14 feet and to add another 3 feet just makes it that much more. I guess it is a nice option if needed. When I used the saw for the first time yesterday, I noticed it got up to full chain speed really fast and cut really nice. The power is what I would expect in a commercial tool at least from my first impressions. The length in the shortest configuration is a bit more than the original Ego multihead pole saw. The motor is located near the chain and I didn’t feel like it added that much weight to the end if any. I noticed near the battery and trigger is a fan. Not sure why it has s fan heart babies at the moving component are on the opposite end of the tool. Maybe it is used to cool down the electronics. One thing it also lacks that the other commercial tools got is a 3 speed selector, Bluetooth (I will have to check on this but no evidence on Bluetooth), and an on tool battery display. I probably wouldn’t use the speed selector if it had it but the battery display would be nice especially since the saw can be so unwieldy when in longer configurations. The front handle is not the same design as the other commercial tools. It seems a bit possibly right handed favored. Also the trigger handle is a different design too. I don’t mind the trigger handle. I need to figure out a comfortable position on the front handle when I use it more. I would have preferred the other style of handle the other commercial tools came with.

I got in recently the Ego commercial telescoping pole saw.

Welcome, good to have you here.

Welcome to the forum and the Crew.

Agree or AI. If it was true, that would be a hell of a line.

How many cars do you have? You have some of the best cars around, amazing. While all the cars you have shown have been awesome, this one is my favorite, i would love to own something like this. I can't believe how clean it is. I don't care what anyone says, this is back in the day when a car was a car and had design and class. Yes, I like the cars nowadays with the comfort and tech, but they look the same. Maybe it's just me remembering my childhood, not like we had a car like this but I remember these cars. I love the phone in this thing also.
