Well work as usual has been slow going but in an effort to get rid of some scrap ply and pine I made a plan less shop cabinet that continued to morph as it went. This is old CDX ply, warped all to heck. No trick joinery...glue, screws and nails. It morphed as I went along but it came out okay for being a cheap shop cabinet with no ideas. Also FINALLY got my compressor reel up...

My bad. When I clicked on it, it loaded from the cache and hadn’t updated to read “excluded from promo“. Now it does.
I would t worry dude, with the sale as it is that is a screaming competitive deal.

Save hours of searching online or wasting money on unnecessary repairs by talking to a ***** who can help you resolve this issue over the phone in a minute or two.
Best thing about this new service is that you are never placed on hold and get to talk to real repairmen in the US.And....drum roll please....spammer.
Account suspended. Thanks for playing. Have a nice night.

The link I attached says that the $100 off is excluded and it sounds like a mail in rebate on the ones that are included, certainly worth it but I didn’t want anyone getting a surprise
-
I’m pretty sure those are excluded from the deal according to the site.

Welcome to the forums Tony. I started getting some unconventional tools to keep my batteries running, a fan, radio, pump, things like that. Keeps the batteries circulating between projects.

Mine is the Dewalt 2speed framer. Unless I’m running a 5.0 or a flexvolt the 4.0s can’t keep up. As a matter of fact because of this I deep 6d them. Also my M18 sump drains them fast but the 9.0s give me about forty minutes vs the 5.0 at something like 20

Hi guys, just found this website on google. I am in a big doubt on whatever i should go with the Bosch, Makita or Festool sander. Milwaukee was also on my list before i read all of the posts, but now i decided to eliminate it. If you have owned any of the above please share your honest experience...
Love seeing these older posts pop up. Welcome to the forums dude.
It’s fun reading my old posts and how much my shop has changed. I now run two sander now in my shop. I have a Bosch ROS65VCL with both the 5 and 6 inch pads and the Festool RO90DX. Everything else? Gone.
I run dust dust collection on both units and the two do fantastic work. I use Festool paper on both machines but also use Mirka paper on the Bosch. Dust collection is amazing on both when you use it and the finish from both machines is amazing. Just using paper on a piece of rough hewn flaky old crap pine I was able to burnish the surface to glass smooth where I don’t think I would have been able to use a finish.
Both machines are expensive and I wouldn’t use any sander on a fine piece of work without dust collection and these machines benefit from it.
Good luck!

Nice, I had no idea. Looks like a nice gun
-
I didn’t know it was available for purchase. Looks like it’s got some decent stats though.
-
No doesn’t work with this one 🤨

Geeeesh...keep me informed. I’ve looked all over and the CMS seems to be about it here in the USA. Also I have the Kreg table. It is awesome. I cannot find a lift for the 2200 and I use a PC in a lift on my Kreg.

I’ve got that too, nifty little toy! I don’t have frequent need for it but I think it was $20 or so? Hell’a useful when the occasion arises.
I am going over today, it says it’s in stock but God knows I can’t find it. I am pretty confident this is going to help quite a bit in my woodshop though. Temporary hold ups for jigs and even permanent stuff too, we will see 🙏😎

I finally gave in to the temptation to pick up Ryobi’s new-ish brushless impact driver. Initial impressions seem to confirm that this unit is in the same league power-wise as top-performing competitors. Although like its predecessor it is a hefty unit, but for my intended utility this is perfectly fine.
I got that adapter for Ryobi so I can run Ryobi tools on Dewalt batteries. Still have to buy a Ryobi glue gun but cannot wait.

Impact guns are nice. With newer technology they have a ton of options out there. I run an Dewalt 887 and a Milwaukee Surge. Both have a screw assist mode that will not allow you to not over drive screws. They make drill bits now that work with impact guns too.
At the end of the day though, I use a 12v drill for almost all of my household work. I use those two impacts for assembling furniture projects because of the assist mode but I installed two wall mount TVs in the last two weeks and never broke out an impact gun, just my drill for pilot holes and screwing into studs. Having the option is nice. Also lithium is what you want. I would check out Ryobi, they make awesome home owner tools and have a lot of options that are all cost conscious.
Welcome to the forums by the way!

Are they nicad or LI?
-
Are they nicad batteries? If so...memory on the batteries you will have to replace them.

I’d agree with @Jronman that might be best. A portable stand is great but you be routing from an elevate position which might be difficult
-
Awesome Phil! Issues will be a thing but that’s okay, I am here with my family and I am back to work. How’s being a new daddy treating you? 🤪

Credit to ‘techbuilt’ (a carpenter from Aus) for sharing this info. Interesting that he was first to share it....
anyway, seems like Bosch must have some great things coming! 👍

Next quickly cabinet coming up....
the carcass will utilize the LR32 system and probably the Kreg system. No fancy joinery again. I’m using the left over piece of warped CDX. No idea what the door will be but the picture is showing where it’s going. I have the CDX cut down to size, I think....again....no plans, we will see where this goes. On another note, on my multi use cabinet I believe the opening on the right will be for router bits...maybe.
