  1. I run the 2.0 s in my Brad and finish guns but only 5.0s or flex volts in the framer. I love my 2.0 s. I might get a 3.0 at some point but...
  2. I got a Florip Toolworks small Dovetail saw and a Blue Spruce dovetail chisel...
  3. Dude. Watch this video. Look at what Nick Offerman uses in his home made slabbing sled.
  4. Yuppers bro, I have one on the 1400 and 2200 works slick as snot. I wish I had LED’s on them but the dust collection is amazing on my Festool.
  5. Any word on a change in cells in the batteries. Though truthfully my 5.0s last a long time.
  6. Cmon! That’s how I sharpen all of my Lie Nielsen and Blue Spruce chisels! Ive got Nerves of steel! Hawk like eye sight! Cat like reflexes! Easy Cheesy.
  7. So I know there is a lot of angst towards CPO but as usual I scored with them again. I bought the Bosch recon 7.2 jigsaw. Normally well over 200 with a cardboard box. I ordered the cardboard box recon version $149.99 shipped. It came in today with a tiny scuff and in an lboxx.
  8. Barrel grip barrel grip barrel grip barr.....
  9. Yeah it’s true. That barrel grip looks pretty sweet. Would love to see some real use with it.
  10. I have a couple of the airstream battery packs but mostly just the 5.2and 4.2 packs. Airstream is nice but my other batteries work and last quite well. I have the TS55REQ and the HKC (was just doing a job trimming some doors with the HKC and a 55”rail...beautiful). I would love to get the cordless one but I cannot justify it based on my current deployment of tools 👍🙏🤪

    I was really wondering the same thing but decals can be weird that way. Regardless, I would call a service center, find out if they can direct you to serial number location that might be on the motor or something or some tell tale sign that that is an affected saw. Reason being in reading the cpsc report the recall is pretty serious. By calling the Dewalt number they might direct you to a blade guard that could fit the motor housing too that could fit another machine. Also the cpsc report indicated a need to return a saw and replace it from Dewalt 👍 That could be really good!
  12. Welcome to the forums dude. Butt joints are the weakest joints. If you are going to join to pieces of plywood then yes, I would dado but I would also use some form of fastener, be it a floating tenon, screw etc. In looking at you rendering it appears that there is no support for the majority of the table so would the metal triangles offer any support? Also, with pocket hole screws there will be an obvious hole left by the pocket which can be filled and blended but the screw itself really does not offer any structural integrity on its own when used in plywood unless there are sides and a shelf or top. Hope this helps, Chris

    https://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw744-type-jobsite-table-saw-parts-c-1009_2657_2776.html Not sure if it’s still available but the blade guard is listed in the drawing.
  15. Both of my saws are Festool and I haven’t tried anybody else’s blades.
  16. I was not aware Lenox made table saw blades, never thought to look at Lenox for that service.
  17. ALRIGHT... There is N-O-T-H-I-N-G wrong with posting or responding to an old topic. @Mycrossover if I haven’t done so, welcome to the forums and feel free to post away. I’ve been here for years and am a mod so please continue to do what you are doing unless you happen to spam us! I read the old posts every nowadays and post too. I miss a lot of the old members and it’s fun reading some of the old topics and bringing them up again. Thanks for joining the crew dude...or dudette....fellow crew member!
  18. No, I have the chainsaw it was shipped a couple of weeks ago, I just have not had time to do any work in the woods yet. So alas....she sits in her box 😖
  19. Here’s the link to ereplacement, depending on the model number you might find help here... https://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw708-type-crosscut-miter-saw-parts-c-1009_1163_2604.html Also welcome to the forums.
  20. Welcome to the forums Paul. I’d like to comment on the new saw however mine is sitting in a box in my woodshop and I have not used it. As far as buying the saw here, you could try to sell it while you are here however you are correct, you cannot post on the forums till you meet our threshold. I just sold my 12” Makita and I can speak to the quality of the X2 chain saws, they are phenomenal. I wanted a larger saw and have a couple of specialty tools with the Milwaukee badge so it was a worthwhile purchase for me and that is the reason I sold it
  21. In all fairness though and as you know, Festool does a yearly increase in their tools whereas I think this is the first advertised price I crease that I remember seeing from Dewalt. As big a fan of Festool that I am, they make great tools designed for hard use and precision finishing, they have gotten WAYYYYYYYYYYY carried away with regularly scheduled tool price hikes. Dewalt makes quality stuff so it’s natural to see a hike once in a while. As they continue to increase production here in the USA, I would not be too surprised to see Milwaukee do the same. Cool catch though and thanks for the heads up!
  22. Welcome to the forums dude. Make sure reach out to the site owners to get permissions of you link your channel videos or affiliate sponsors etc. to our site. Thanks, Chris
