Might not be a bad idea if the cuts are not straight instead of buying a new fence. At least it wouldn't get hung up. The looks of the picture and it looks like it might be fine the way it is.

Most paces sell belts. Go online and type in the make and model then just put drive belt. I am sure Google will give you a bunch.

Not for what you are doing. The bigger chuck has a slower RPM, but more torque to get through tougher work. If you are just drilling holes or using fasteners, either will work. My guess is the 1/2" will be a bit heavier if that is OK. Its nice to have the 1/2" if you need it, but if you think that will never be needed, go with the 3/8" as it is lighter, you have a case. I have a 1/2" milwaukee corded drill and no case. I used the 1/2" chuck about three times in 5 years. Nice to have, but I could have figured something else out if I only had a 3/8" chuck.

Yeah Hitachi makes some great power tools, but its hard to believe they are better than Bosch, but thats just my view. But I will check out the video

Good question. I don't think so. The only sysmbols I ever see for that is a rectangle box with the words Soft Start inside. I looked around and didn't see anything.

Awesome, you did it. I only interupted the positive and rewired the switch for the positive as you stated. I put the negative back and everything works great. Thanks for your help

Wow that's awesome, very detailed. OK I did everything you said. When I hooked up all the lights without a toggle switch, no problems, no heat. When I introduced the switch, the batteries get hot. I went to Radio shack and got another switch and still the same problem. I am lost I need help. I do have everything hooked up in a parallel circuit. I have both the power and the ground going to the switch and the lights turn on and off, but get hot. The circuit seems like the circle you were explaining. The lights are 5mm, 3.6V. The lights do not get hot or burnout. What happens when I turn the lights off, the batteries get very hot, then if I wait about two mintues and try to turn the lights on, they are very dim and sometimes don't even work. Probably because the batteries are so hot.

I am hoping someone here can help. I have been looking all over for help with wiring and no one can tell me whats wrong. My kid just got a toy tractor that runs on batteries, a 12V. I want to install LED lights and I am having a problem. I have everything installed, but when I turn on the lights the batteries, 4 AA batteries get very hot. When I turn off the lights (Toggle Switch), the batteries still get very hot. I went to hobby forums etc, everyone just says to add a resistor and I will be ok. I have added all sorts of resistors and I am still have the same issue. No one can tell me why the battery is getting hot. I am hoping someone here can help.
