Home Depot?
What brand do you like the best? What do you see with the least amount of problems?
-
Do you have a picture or something for me to go by? Probably not since you can not find it. I am just not sure what you mean.

Have you tried a chop saw with an abrasive blade? I would think that would work.

Do you have a picture of the old head, front and back?

Hey just noticed you guys changed your name. Nice logo. I like the name.

Nice to see this picking up again. I like the review. It looks like you guys changed your videos around. Looks a lot better. I like the taglines in the video. The Dremel seems to be a good tool. I bought the 8200 cordless you guys did a review about. I haven't used it a lot, but when I do, I like it a lot. Keeps a good charge when it is just sitting on the shelf, lol. I have used it for some small projects and works well. The Trio would be a good Christmas present. Seems ike it has its place.

Cut it with a plywood blade and go slow. The more teeth, the better the cut.

Sound like it could be the motor. If it is under warranty, don't even mess with it. Just return it and get another one. Sears is really good about returns. I would think a 5.5 would rip through even 1/2" plastic no problem, little alone some 1/8"

Good overview carp. A router is great for design work, but I also use mine to remove small amounts of wood. Just make sure if it is hardwood, get a good bit as cheaper bits will dull rather quickly and put more stress on your router. As carp said you can turn your table saw into a router table, if your table actually extends. If not, you can build or even buy a router table. Lucky the rip fence is just minor sctratches, a battle wound, a nice reminder of when you where a beginer. Everyday you get more experience and will have something to look back on and laugh. At least your learned by cutting into the rip fence and not a body part.

I am in the US, so I am not sure the currency exchange rate, but I would go with a Honda. Honda is awesome, quite and dependable.

Why is it so cheap. Is it a refurb? For what you are cutting you don't need a slider, but for the price how can you go wrong? Down the road you might takle a tougher job and wish you had a slider.

I like Hitachi power tools. Used them for a long time with no problems. For the price, you can't beat them.

It could be the trigger switch or the actually motor, copper coils. Does the gun get hot? It does sound like it could be a trigger switch, but usually my experiences is that a bad trigger switch will cause the drill to cut on and off. But again it does sound like maybe the switch is getting stuck on the high speed and not bouncing back. Try to take the drill apart, if you know how and can put it back togther. Maybe it just has dust or a build up off something on the switch system and can be cleaned off.

Is there anything thing Dewalt, beer and tv can not do?

I have bouoght some recon tools before and had pretty good luck.

Never heard of this manufacturer, but it looks pretty cool.
Which would be the better drill to go with?

I have always been a huge Bosch fan. They make some great tools that will take anything. However I have been leaning toward Dewalt lately, but still will only buy Bosch for certain things. If you are comparing these two drills only, I would go with the Dewalt. Looks like the price is about the same. The Dewalt seems like you get a lot more. More Amps, More BPM, More rpm high and low and they both weight about the same. In regards to the Bosch running cooler than the Dewalt, I am not sure if it does or doesn't. Considering you are doing your won work, you do need something tough. But your not drilling into concrete every day, so not sure if that will pay a huge effect on the decision. Have you picked them both up in your hands? How do they feel? Because as you said you will be doing small jobs also and sometimes those are the most awkward positions for your body to be in and that’s also when balance and feel of a tool play a role.
I wouldn't go with a 3/8" unless you will be doing a lot of smaller jobs. If you will be doing smaller jobs, over 50% of the time and spending a lot of time with these jobs, then a 3/8" might make sense. If your doing small jobs, why fight the extra weight of the 1/2". The 3/8" is 2 lbs lighter. A 3/8" chuck just seems so small. I would rather save the money and get some nice new bits or something else to make my work easier if I didn't do a lot of smaller jobs. Man I just confused myself.
