  3. Dewalt 2400 wet tile saw

    in Dewalt

    So what your saying is that there's a possibility (with modifications)... Ugh. I had expected that it wouldn't be so easy.

    In theory, you might be able to drill holes through the tray and base to secure it but I suspect that wouldn't be the best idea. Even if you used rubber washers to prevent it from leaking, I don't think the tray is designed to stand up to the stress of being in a vertical position for an extended period of time. There's a good chance that it would crack from opening and closing and that would put a damper on your tiling project.

    Correct. This drill has a ratcheting chuck. Spinning it with a bit in place will contract the prongs and grab the bit, but to tighten it fully, you'll need to give it an extra twist manually until it clicks into place.

  11. HD buy of the day Milwaukee impact drivers

    Anyone thinking about getting that 3/8 impact wrench? GET IT!! It's freakin awesome and u will be using way more then u think, that's my go to tool 85% of the time and the 3/8 ratchet is really nice to have. I'm thinking about picking up the 1/4 ratchet it's a pretty nice deal.

    I was eyeing the deal today but I'm just not sure what I'd use the tools for. I'm not much of a gear head - just about everything that I do involves wood. I've contemplated getting a 1/2" impact for driving really large lags, but I have a feeling that my M18 Fuel impact driver with an adapter or nut driver would be just about as effective as this M12 wrench at driving lags. Someone convince me otherwise!

  12. Can you drill with a DCF620?

    The drill bit that I'm using is the one that comes with the Kreg jig. I know that you can buy replacement bits, but this one is brand new so I wouldn't have thought that it would be dull already from drilling about 100 holes into pine. The drill I'm using is a M18 2604 so it only spins at 1750 rpm I believe.

    Now as far as backing, I don't think that would do any good as the tear out is in the face - the hole doesn't actually go through the board. Here's a quick pic that shows what I'm referring to.

    If others have drilled with this class dill without problems, I might try buying another bit before I contemplate a new drill. In any event, I'm pretty sure I'm not quite ready to make the plunge into the Festool pool.

  13. Can you drill with a DCF620?

    So a little background is in order here. I recently have gotten a Kreg K5 pocket screw system. I'm just starting to use it on my first big project - built in shelves for my sunroom. Anyway, I've been having a heck of a time getting clean holes in pine. The right side of the holes often have tear out on the edge. Using my M18 drill instead of the M12 helped a little but it's still not really reliably clean.

    In my research, I came across a number of posts that said that cordless drills didn't have the RPMs to dill these holes cleanly and that you needed at least 2500 RPMs. Well, I didn't hop on the Fein deal a while ago and I am reluctant to go with a corded drill on principle.

    So, I was looking at the DCF620. The specs say that it can do 4400 RPM, which is more than twice what most cordless drills put out. I know the torque won't be there at those speeds, but for shallow pocket holes, I don't think I care really. The speed is what's going to get the job done cleanly. The question in, can you drill with this screwdriver? The Kreg bit had a hex shank, so it's physically possible, but I'm wondering if anyone that has one had tried popping a drill bit in and making some holes.

    Good idea? Bad idea? What do you think?

    A Depot by me has quite few Ridgid miter saw stands for 100 bucks, I'm thinking that price might drop? If it does I'm picking it up

    $100 is a smoking deal on they stand. It's no Bosch, but then again it's a third the price. Honestly, the only real criticism that I have about it is that it's a little hard to raise up with a heavy saw installed but not exceptionally so.

  18. Why did I go to the Depot today?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    I really should know better than going to Home Depot over my lunch break, but I had to get a couple of strands of Christmas lights and some zip ties to string them up with. That was my first mistake. The second mistake was peeking on the clearance rack. My third mistake was saying to myself, "well I'll only buy it if I can get the cashier to accept my electronic Lowes coupon.

    Needless to say...

    I can't say I regret the trip because $190 was a heck of a deal for the 2712 and I have been eyeballing a rotary hammer. I just wasn't expecting to buy one today!

    So I tried both Lowes and a harbor freight coupons today at my local HD. No luck getting them to accept either. They said they may honour a Lowes coupon if it's pre printed, but not an electronic coupon that I print out. I haven't actually seen a pre printed cotton in ages. Anyone run into this before and have any strategies or sources for actual printed coupons?

    They are decent vacs but they come with undersized hoses of a cheaper quality. But for $40 you can't go wrong and my newer one is four years old, the other one is seven years old. If you register them, they carry a LSA.

    From the picture, it looks like you can put a 2 1/2" hose on it. Is that in fact true? I've got an extra 2 1/2" hose from a vacuum that died and if this model will take it, I'll definitely pick one up.

    I just picked up the hole saw kit yesterday. It's quite nice for the money and a lot cheaper than the carbide hole saw kit I've been eyeballing at Rockler.

    If anyone is in need of a mobile stand for their miter saw, the Ridgid MSUV is really very nice. Not quite as easy to stand up as the Bosch, but for $100 it's an awesome value on a solid rig.
