  1. Makita sp6000 plunge saw

    in Makita

    Posted

    Nothing with the Makita here, I have a Festool though I’ve heard great things about the Makita. Welcome to the forums. Just out of curiosity, what kind of material are you cutting? Any chance the blade is gummed up with pitch?

    Jake, reach out to @overanalyze about this. He has a pretty sweet set up and Andrew is a great guy who might give you some good insight. He manufactured how own brackets for the work truck they use too. Also congratulations on that trailer, it looks sweet. Any chance you’ll post some pics of the unit itself. I have been thinking about getting one in the next year or so.

    The reason for the switch to cordless is the power on stages. We are often working out of spider boxes and daisy chaining a ton of power cords.  So your using one tool and someone uses a chop saw and you feel everything slow down.  

     

    The other day I was on location and they would not let us use house power, so we had to use generators.  I think the power drop was the issue with my TS 55 not working.

     

    I just bought the saw, 2 batteries and 2 chargers, I already have the 55in 75in and 106in guide rails

    That’s cool, I use the regular rails on mine too. I have been looking at the medium rail for cutting joists, the positive locks are pretty cool. I have a medium rail but returned it because one of the elastic strings tore off in the rail and just got my money back. I’ll probably get another rail though, they work great when they work great 😉

    You’ll like it I think, it does not have the dc that you’re used too but I like mine a lot. It’s compact but I have cut a lot of pt with mine using the regular 5.2s and it’s a really handy light weight saw. What size rail did you get for it?

  14. Hilti 12v Hammer Drill

    Hey all, Hilti drill, 2 batteries and a charger adapter (not a charger). New, unused it was a sort of gift that I don’t need. It’s the hammer drill kit with the 18/21v charger adapter you just put the batteries on. Shipping included, USA only. $100. You can buy the charger direct from Hilti for about $35 with shipping.

    Thanks guys. He has T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. It’s a pretty rare and typically aggressive form of Lymphoma. He’d been having respiratory issues for several months and we’d had him to the doctor several times. They were leaning toward a severe form of asthma, but upon further testing the found a giant 6” mass in his chest that was putting pressure on his lungs, heart, and airway, and also created a lot of fluid buildup in his upper body. 

     

    As as soon as we found out it was cancer I had him transferred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which is the top pediatric cancer hospital in the world. We’ve been living in the hospital for the past 3 weeks and it looks like we’ll be around thanksgiving before we get to go home. 

     

    He’s responding well to treatment so far and the doctor’s believe he has an excellent chance of beating it. There are never any guarantees with cancer, but things could be a lot worse. 

     

    I’m as broke as a 17 year old pizza delivery guy, I really miss miss my bed, my shop, and most importantly my other kids, but right now Conductor Jr’s health is the only thing in the world that matters. Someday we’ll be back in the shop making things together, but it’ll be awhile.

     

    thanks for all your prayers guy. The mean more right now than I hope you ever have to understand.  

    🙏 every day bro.

    Been looking at the Air Lift kits, but Conductor JR. was diagnosed with cancer so my plans have pretty much been shelved 😢

    Travis, I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers being sent bro, I hope you little one is doing well.

    This post makes me happy I went with the DeWalt emoji23.pngemoji23.pngemoji23.png

    I was really going to go with the Mak, I really think the design is solid but alas...I went with the Milwaukee. I think the DC on the Mak is probably the best available without spending serious coinage but many issues with the release. Maybe they have worked them out, it would be nice to see this machine working top of the line

    the grip looks new. Not quite the brushed grip but not quite the brushless grip. Maybe it is just those bottom vent thingys making the grip look different.

    I’m thinking it’s so it can fit between studs? The pistol grip would make it longer, I have the bradder one of the finishers and the framer all pistol grip and they are quieter large guns.
