They have one for the Bosch and others if you go to Collins tools https://www.collinstool.com/base.php?page=home.htm and hit the contact bottom. I have one on my Bosch and one for my Festool.

Welcome to my everyday life. I have come to realize that remodeling is more problem solving then anything else.

Just once you get the hang of it you really see a time savings. If you make a jig to hold your trim it makes so much easier. go over to you tube and watch Gary Katz he gives some good tips on the Collins foot.

This is so wrong on so many levels and with it being 7' up in the air in makes it more concerning. I can not tell from the picture is the ledger lagged or ledger locked to the house. Please don't say it just nailed to the house if so it's just and accident waiting to happen. My question would be how did this pass a framing inspection. Down load a copy of this. It is the wood Deck construction guide based on the international residential code. http://www.awc.org/pdf/codes-standards/publications/dca/AWC-DCA62012-DeckGuide-1405.pdf

Thanks Chris and the same right back at you Mr. new dad. I did stop by the cemetery and paid my dad a visit.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Milwaukee FUEL M18 Mixer

I know when I went to IBS in Orlando there must have been over 25 manufactures of Min split systems. I' looking at the Fujitsu and the LG systems.

I'm looking at putting a Split mini system in my house besides the Mitsubishi systems any suggestions from he crew?

Worked in the Family remolding business till I was 19 left and went to work for the local utility for 38 years. Worked at their Nuclear plant for 5 years in the weld shop then moved over to the Gas construction side as a pipe line mechanic and welder then moved up crew leader then foreman. These days I have returned to my roots and have my own remodeling company.

Here is a little something I wrote for TIA a while back To Track or not to Track I know that some of you are thinking I would really like to have a track saw but, do I want to spend my hard earn cash on such a luxury item. Before I start this is not a comparison or review of anyone Track Saw it is just an article on the benefits of having and using a Track Saw. For some clamping a straight edge down works just fine or using a table saw is all that they need. For someone like myself that works alone most of the time it is a major time saver. One of the biggest negatives I hear all the time is the cost. It is true cost is a factor. You can spend a few bucks for a straight edge up to seven hundred plus dollars for a top of a line Track saw. The second negative is “I already have a circular saw so why would I buy another one.” That is a good point but they make kits that you can use your saw for around two hundred dollars and get ninety percent of the benefits of a true Track Saw. You will notice that I did not say one hundred percent because the design of a Track Saw adds to the benefits. Dust collection and cross cut splintering are a plus of a true Track Saw. There a few players in the Track Saw market DeWalt DWS520SKH comes with a 59” track $459 or the DWS520CK comes with a 59” and a 102” track $600. The Makita SP6000J1 comes with a 55” track $420. Bosch makes the GKT-55-GCE but it is not available in the US market. Festool Has the TS 55 REQ 6 ¼ blade 1 15/16th cut depth $615 comes with a 55” track and the TS 75 EQ 8 ¼ blade and a 2 ¾ cut depth $725. Fox Shop and Grizzly track saws same manufacture (they are injection molded in different colors). The Grizzly T25552 comes with a 55” track $245 and the Shop Fox W1835 $192 Track sold as an accessory. Now with all of that said I personally have the Festool 55 REQ and the TS 55 EQ. My first Track Saw was the DeWalt and I had issues with it. It may because it was their first attempt at a track saw. The saw was at their repair center more than I had it but that was many years ago and now from what I hear they are much better. Now let me tell you what I see as the biggest benefits to owning a track saw are. 1. It is not just a fancy circular saw with a straightedge. A lot of engineering has gone it to the plunge mechanism, riving knife for kick back protection and blade pinching and dust collection. It may look like a framing saw but it is not. 2. Mark your pieces set your track and make your cut. Rubber like strips on the bottom of the track holds it in place. You can use clamps but it is not necessary. 3. Portability easy to carry and set up and it is good for tight spaces. If you do not have room for a table saw and it takes up very little room in your vehicle. 4. Dust collection. The shroud just does not protect you for the blade it makes for an effective dust channel. If you cut a lot of MDF you will love this one benefit alone. 5. Long cuts, long miters and, odd angles there are no limits on what you can do. The only limit is the length of track you have. You can overcome this with a coupling system that each track has. However, there is one downside. Unlike those other saws, a track saw does not have a built-in miter gauge, so setting up miter cuts can be slow. If you do many long miters, you might want to spend $50 to $100 on a miter gauge that locks onto the track. 6. Clean cuts. You will be hard pressed to get a smoother, cleaner cut from a circular saw or table saw. I am not saying that tis will replace a table saw because it will not. You can do more with a table saw but a track saw will make your life easier. These are just a few of the benefits that I see that can make your work more time effective and safer. You will no longer have to wrestle sheet goods on to your table. I hope this helps those that are on the fence. If you take your time and do your research, you will find the answer that is wright for you. Good luck

Oldie but a goody

At one fourth the cost of a Domino it's not bad

I hope the he got the EQ 75 if he plans to cut lvl's. The 55 will do it but it's a slow go.

Good eye I'll check on the shipping and send a PM

Hi guys I have this NON-fuel M-12 kit for sale I may have used it 2/3 time over the last few years. I don't like the grips so I use my DeWalt 12v. My baby hands do not like the feel of the fat grips. All that you see in the picture can be yours and a bag for $35.00 plus shipping

I do a lot of work for a company called DCP productions. They do a lot of the GEICO commercials and I have to sign a ton of papers if I'm working and they are working on something for a client.

I think that i would be asking why are you going through my searches.
