All my impact bits are the dewalt's, best bit I ever used... Speedbore drill bits by far Irwin's, those chew up wood like butter.... My normal everyday woodbits and steelbits I use cheap ones from canadian tire

Nice little radio, I might need to get this one instead of the larger one... this one would be perfect for me to have in the shed

Guy who came to install my new FiberOP, cable, internet and home phone had a real nice dewalt bag... seemed pretty heavy duty and would last along time

I was surprised too, Came with a free stand and it was like 599 or 699 but it's a big bulky saw, My friend hated it more then me and he's in the market for one as well http://www.homedepot.ca/product/milwaukee-12-in-dual-bevel-sliding-mitre-saw-free-stand-with-purchase/906228

I tried out the milwaukee mite saw setup and displayed here at a home depot a few hours from me, I wasn't that impressed, was bulky and real heavy... Just didn't seem to have the build like the 780 did

I ordered the 780 yesterday, should be here next week!

The 780 just dropped too 479.99 lol It's like it wants me to order it now

Like I probably don't need a 12" just that the dewalt is only 499 which is a steal here in canada when you look at the price it sells for everywhere else which is usually 699 or a bit below but always over 600

Right now here in Canada, the ridgid 12" is 499.99, same as the 780... All the rest at home depot like the Milwaukee is 699 but has a free stand makita is 599 and the rest are in and about the same range

Hey fella's, We pretty well got the new deck we have been building finished so rest of the year not much left to do besides finish up some fencing, new doors for my shed and a few other things.... We gave been using my girlfriend's dad's DW708 miter saw for everything and thought it be nice to have my own miter saw to do the work and eventually start doing projects on my own and so her father doesn't have to drag his everywhere... I know how to use a saw, but just not a big woodworker, more of a mechanic type of guy Back to me thinking about buying a saw... I've been wondering, should I go out, buy a cheap brand saw like for us here in Canada there is Canadian tire, King Canada, and other cheap brand that make decent saw for like between 189.00 up to about 299.99 when these saw are off sale there about 399.99 499.99 etc... I want a sliding saw for sure because a chop saw just don't cut it, my dad and her dad and my buddy all said the same thing, buy a sliding saw because i'd regret it after... So the big question is, buy a cheap saw for now, 10" blade, sliding dual bevel is probably what I'd want so were not flipping boards over because it only bevel's on one side and maybe screw up a cut (may as well try and get one that bevel both ways and does everything).... I can get a saw like this for like 219.99 plus tax here and a good blade for like let's say 300 bucks because those blades with these saws usually suck and leave a ruff finish http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/king-canada-king-canada-10-sliding-dual-compound-miter-saw-with-twin-laser-8385/10196089.aspx Don't look like a bad saw but heard cheap saws have a hard time cutting accurate bevel cuts and that sort of thing, adjusting constantly to make sure they cut right among other things Now I was looking around and seen a DWS 780 for like 499.99 on sale here... down from 699.99... It blew me away being so cheap so I have a dilemma... Buy a cheaper saw for now like in the link above and have it for a shirt time or long time depending on the jobs were doing, if the tool breaks etc... or spend the big money now, get the dewalt and probably have it for a lifetime as I learn new woodworking skills.... because I imagine the dewalt is a better saw then the house brand saws like I showed above So what's your opinion from a guy starting out, buy the best I can get now or go cheap and probably need to go bigger later, what would you do? thanks guys!
