I ordered this a few weeks ago when Woodcraft had their 10% off Rikon sale.  Just picked it up this week. I was torn  between this and the DeWalt 735 but went with this for the helical head.  It cuts really smooth.

nice planer. I would like to have gotten that one but couldn't justify the price vs the dewalt 734 with coupon.

id buy a complete set of punches and chisels if you are running out of things to buy. i cant seem to win anymore and gave up on the syw points

 

I was looking at them but they're Chinese made and I haven't seen them in person, it could be garbage for all I know, reviews are all over the place. I bought the Irwin chisel set, still waiting for it to be shipped to store. With the Lowe's coupon it came out to $35 for the four chisels and a 16oz bottle of wood glue, cheapest I could find the Irwin Marples chisels was $38. Couldn't tell if the Dewalts had a solid thru-tang striking cap.

Man, I couldn't help it... there was a spring sale and I splurged. This saw is way overkill for my needs, but it was cheaper than the single 18V brushless saw. I'm just a home DIYer, but I love these teal tools. I'm such a tool poser, lol

 

nice pickups!

Wait, I thought the Dewalts were made in Sheffield?

 

Today, I realized I have a Knipex problem, why buy a tongue and groove (even at half price) when I already have alligators and cobras?

Bought a couple of new blades and a 50 lb. bag of medium grade soda for my blaster today. After 5 months and a lot of laminate flooring, the OEM Dewalt blade on my 780 is toast. By the time I finished my crown there was smoke rolling off the cuts and burning on the edges. Even the utmost care wouldn't prevent it. I usually get rid of OEM blades immediately, but I rode this one out.

 

I decided to give the Diablo 60T combination blade a shot. I've always viewed combo blades as being for table and circ saws, but this one seems to have good reviews and is designed for miter saws, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Anybody used these? Went ahead and replaced my table saw blade too, but I went with the tried and true 40T General Purpose for that.

I also got my refund from PayPal on the Dewalt mixing drill I took a chance on for $99. Found a new one from a reputable seller for $140 and ordered it. Took a chance and got burned. Oh well, PayPal made it right and another is on it's way.

I think you are right. They are not marked but I think they are made by Sheffield.

I ended up getting a Grex pinner. I'd like to know your thoughts in the Cadex, they look like awesome guns.

I have a Grex Micro pinner and love it. We had Jitool at work and then got about 12 Grex. After using the Grex, I bought one for myself.

Grex and Cadex both seem top of the line, so I figured I'd give them a shot. Besides it came in a Systainer :)
