  1. I wouldn't skimp on my miter saw dude. I'm not saying go out and spend a bazillion dollars but....my miter saw is one of the most used tools in my shop. We all get fixated on impact and drills but the miter saw and table saw lead the pack in power tools. I'm with you, a dual bevel and slider is a feature I wanted but if go with a saw that is going to cost more and has a lot of reviews. Look at Dewalt, Bosch. Milwaukee (right up there in price), Hitachi. If you decide on this saw be sure to make sure that it is square, both in table and blade. The reason those saws cost more is the fact that they are well built machines with a lot of track service and normally come out of the box without need of adjustment. I don't mean to bash Masterforce but I don't see any reviews on the site and you gat an awful lot for a really cheap price. One would presume a corner or two has been cut!
  2. Thanks a lot Jimbo,Comp and Mike! Very fun project but boy I am not liking trying to tune that bandsaw to such a small blade. Took me the better part of an hour to get it right!
  3. Why thank you Jimbo! Next? Some trees.
  4. Well....finished my first commission. Fifteen birds total. I'm waiting to hear if his wife wants more but I got to attach my business card to the order so maybe I'll get some word of mouth Got a wee one on the way! Daddy needs new tools!!!!!
  5. Absolute piece of cake! Stupid simple. I'm going to get the wide blade and knife attachment plus the turners attachment on the near future
  6. Yeah I picked a couple of those up from Todd. I've always wanted to give the shockwave bits a try so I got two boxes myself!
  7. Yeah John.....you'll be RED with envy
  8. Hehehehehehe wait till Wednesday I got something on the way you probably would,like more than me! But it's going to fill a niche I need filled till Dewalt gets in gear!
  9. I don't know why I waited this long Kurt. I'm on my second shop over the last 14 years and I finally got one. It's so friggin awesome
  10. Hahahahaha nice. In the world of life we call that a "B-U-R-N"!!!!!!!
  11. I just watched some morons review of the Milwaukee vs. Ryobi in the Brad nailer category. Their was a follow up review from another Youtuber that appeared to be in response to the first morons review. The first reviewer ended up bashing the Milwaukee but the test given was pretty unrealistic (bump firing repeatedly) and the overload protection had activated resulting in the reviewer not being able to complete the test in the bump fire mode. The other nailer, a Ryobi, did the job and did it quite well. I used to have the Ryobi and sold it as the firing striker started to stick. It is a great gun but doesn't offer protection for the motor or battery from overdriving which naturally will result in excessive wear and tear on the machine. The test showed the Milwaukee didn't complete driving the nail in a few cases. But....the Milwaukee, like the Dewalt, has built in protection to keep that machine functional. The Ryobi didn't. My Ryobi eventually started to show signs of wear when that striker started to fail. I would have to manually push the striker back in place to complete the job. I started using nail gun lubricant in the mechanism and this seemed to help. I had bought the Ryobi reconditioned from CPO three years ago and it served me very well for those three years till the issue popped up. I used my bradder a lot but never in bump mode (it's a Brad nailer....not a roofing or framing nailer.....and truthfully I hardly use my DCN692 in bump mode....brads put in light duty fasteners more in line with cabinetry and furniture building). Everyone knows I'm not a big fan of the red team and they lead the pack in returns for me after failures but....I don't think this was a fair test. Imagine putting a top of the line circular saw with built in protection against a saw without. Then running tens to hundreds of board feet of wood and having the brushless, protected saw stop working while your older saw kept going. Does this make it better? Maybe if time and money isn't an issue.....(you know, burning out the battery pack and motor and needing to buy a new saw). I will say what I saw between these reviews was the fact that the Milwaukee Brad had a harder time doing angle strikes than the Ryobi and the light in the Milwaukee isn't quite as useful. All in all the two reviews came to different conclusions in quality and run time. Both agreed, in the Brad nailers case, that the line of site wasn't the best and the lights....but, my Ryobi took a while for me to figure out where each nail would go. My new DCN660 will too. Also, following up with the comments made by viewers was interesting too.
