    Welcome to the forum.

     

    Normal etiquette is to use normal capitalization,

     

    All caps is considered YELLING and is difficult to read.

     

    Please edit your post, including the subject title.

    errrrrrrrr.....

    no.

    JUST CHECKING OUT THERE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE MAKE A COVER OR PROTECTOR FOR THE 60V BATTERIES. SINCE THERE GETTING A LITTLE HIGHER IN PRICE AND HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TO THEM I WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOMETHING SO THEY LAST LONGER. ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT GETTING DAMAGED. I WAS IN HOME DEPOT TODAY AND SAW THE CORDLESS 60V TRIMMER WITH A METAL GUARD SCREWED INTO THE BATTERY TO PROTECT THE INDICATOR BUT I COULD NOT FIND THAT AS AN ACCESSORY EITHER.

     

     

    Welcome to the forums dude.

     

    Feel free to post as much as you would like.

    Feel free to “all caps” it up.

    Do not edit your post.

    Do not edit your subject title.

     

    Sorry for the persnickety comment to your very good post.  This isn’t normally how we conduct ourselves on the forums.

     

    Now to get on to your query...

    I have several 60v batteries in my shop and have never seen a boot made available before though truthfully I haven’t looked for one. Maybe try “Etsy”? Sorry!

  2. I have been introducing more red into my shop but not because I am disappointed with yellow, just that Milwaukee has some specialty tools that I really want and their quality has picked up from where it used to be. I’ve got the transfer pump and it is honestly my most used Milwaukee tool hands down with the new chainsaw coming in a close second. 

  3. By guys, sorry I haven’t been active as much, my Daughter was born prematurely and we have been really busy. Regardless... disregard @Babysaw comments and he has been suspended from the forums for a year. Guys, please keep it friendly, seems to me we have had some really rude posters lately. This forum has been getting less and less active and it is sad to see this happen, it has been the best forum on line for years. Consequently for some reason a couple of our members have been out of control and blatantly rude. Though prizes haven’t been a part of the forum for a while the heart of the forum has always been friendly with prizes as an add on bonus.  As comments like @Babysaw continue in, I will be banning those posters for a year. I figure our activity has been diminished for quite a while I would rather see less activity posted by decent people instead of inflammatory comments written by trolls. I am not going to lock down this post  but please keep it real. Sorry for the typos, I am a bit pissed and hammering away on my iPhone with my fat fingers! Thanks all, Chris

  4. I’ll be tied up for a while and will not be checking in as frequently as I do for a while.  We had a new addition to our family and my daughter, Lillian, decided to come to us early like her Big Brother William.  We will be in the NICU for a while, diagonally across from Williams NICU room but my beautiful Wife and Daughter are getting better.  Reach out to @Eric - TIA  if there are any issues if I don’t respond to requests. Thanks, Chris

    Neither did the Reaxx and yet SawStop got it banned from Merica. I don't know if this tech will be in all three of Felders lines (Hammer, Felder, Format 4) but for sure it will be in their Format 4 line which is their top of the line saw with all the bells and whistles and quality to go with. I would think their Felder line would be similar quality to a SawStop, so it might get the tech. Supposedly their Hammer line is their entry level brand so I doubt they will put it into this line at least at the start, but I could be surprised. My dream saw would be a format 4 with all the bells and whistles because why not or a similar saw from another brand with similar cnc features. Only thing is they take up a lot more space than a Merican style industrial table saw.

    I think besides the fact that the designer of Sawstop is an attorney...nuff said..that the Reaxx is a similar action as it uses “flesh detecting technology” which is what Sawstop uses. According the Felder infomercial it isn’t the same tech so they might have a fighting chance IF the parent company for Sawstop sues....Tooltechnic Systems.  Regardless I love my Sawstop but I still think they are jerks for suing Bosch.  That is why we live in such a litigious society....how I love attorneys.

    I've put mine to the test, loaded heavy, hanging nailers off of them, etc...and they hold up just fine. Nothing bent or warped. Just installed my third row, might eventually do a 4th. 

    Thanks dude. And that’s the non mobile unit?

    Jake, how has the wall unit (non mobile) rack been holding out for you? It’s been a while now and I just got a Pace 6x12 trailer and am seriously thinking about adding the shop rack myself along with some e tracks. Just curious if it’s holding up and not warping or causing issues for you.  I am planning on adding one rack and then a place for an air compressor and what not. Thanks dude,

  8. Welcome to the forums

     

    i haven’t heard anything yet but I’ve been kind of quiet on researching Festool lately only in that I’m festooned with festool in my shop. I wouldn’t mind seeing one but I’m pretty happy with my Midi and CT26

    Felder has recently announced a new attempt at flesh sensing tech in table saws called Preventative Contact System. Is it better than SawStop or Bosch Reaxx? I think so. They use electro magnets to lower the blade. Also has an approach feature where if an unexpected fast approach occurs the system will trigger. There is no consumable parts and therefore requires no maintenance in fact to reset the blade you just press a button on the control panel. If/when the system triggers you won't be out a bunch of money because you had to replace parts on the tool or have an expensive medical bill. I doubt it will come to North America. I expect you know who will be suing Felder the moment the saw with this tech goes on sale.

    I bet Sawstop won’t be able to sue though because this doesn’t use the same brake activation that Sawstop uses. It’ll be interesting to see how this develops and though a Felder saw cost thousands, they are, like Sawstop, top of the line saws, just a completely different type of saw. I’d love to get one in my shop.....
