  1. I think it's a neat project and looks really nice. I can't tell from the picture if you've installed fuses or not. That is the only gotcha I can think of and you likely already have them in the circuit somewhere (inside the charger, dimmer, etc...).
  2. I am very happy with the 5AH batteries, but hopefully there will be a promotion on these when they come out.
  3. It seems pricing is a little higher than what's quoted in the OP (seeing $175 for the DML811 and $252 for the DML809). I still really want one, but can't justify it without a sale price right now.
  4. I just got an XSL07 last month with the free stand. Out of the box, I put a thicker 1/8" kerf 12" finish blade on my XSL07 and had to adjust the squareness. The cuts are so smooth, it is unbelievable. I also sold my corded DeWalt 12" sliding saw and the stand to someone local for $400! After a few adjustments, I am able to make accurate cuts within 1/1000th of an inch. There is also very little flex in the head. Plus having multiple motor poles really does lower vibration (in a similar way to 3 phase motors are much smoother than single phase). It has to be the top sliding miter box right now. Plus I made money selling the DeWalt saw as I bought it during the recession and it came with a free stand too. Can't say I'd pay retail for it unless I was using it to make a living, but Black Friday pricing and the free stand made for an outstanding deal.
  5. I was able to get a killer deal on a Makita power head on Black Friday ($99), but already owned a bunch of Echo PAS attachments. So... I hope everyone can please forgive me; at least it's not red and blue right!?! In case anyone is wondering, the RPMs matched perfect, but no this is not a normal thing to do. Required welding and shimming out Makita's shaft tube as the Echo clamp assembly is made for a bigger sized tube. Works like a champ. Best power head I've used and the smoothest my Echo PAS attachments have ever felt, and there are a lot of Echo PAS attachments too: https://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Pro-Attachment-Series Did some edging and to my amazement, the blade never bogged down at all. Highly impressed with the way it turned out.
