  9. New Tough System DS130

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    I wish they would make a 175 and 200

     

    I don't see the point of the 130. is it really any advantage.

     

    I have a few tools that I would put in tough boxes but they are too big. I don't want to put them in a 300

  15. router bits sets

    in Accessories

    Posted

    I thon it depends on what you see yourself doing.

    if you want the router for a few select jobs then only buy those bits  and any other when needed.

    if you do a lot of one off jobs  of different profiles  then a set is great to have.

    I have 2 sets  a 12 piece 1/4" set and a 24 piece 1/2" set/

    I have only used probably 1/3 of the bits . but some of those I couldn't have predicted  needing those in time to order them

     

    I would recommend buying a small set from one of the main manufacturers that is designed to have the basics . make sure the core bits you use are great quality.  you will use them regularly

     

    you will probably want a

    bearing flush trim bit

    pattern bit (maybe a combination would do)

    1/2" straight bit

    chamfer bit

    round over

    rebating bit set

     

    I think a medium quality (at least) set is great to have at hand for one off work

    i like the idea od 360 but the tech still isnt there yet (or isn't being used yet)

    the quality is crap

    you have to stay finding the person.

     

    if they could put a tracker on the person so that it follows them as they move  it would be great. then press a button to move away from that if you want. then release button to snap back to person

  20. Track saw or Table saw?

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    if you have a table  saw then I would buy a track saw.

     

    the only question that you need to answer is whether you cut mostly sheets or solid.

    a track saw  excels at sheets but isn't as convenient as a table saw at solid

     

    I have both and wouldn't be without both of them.

    its just different tools for different jobs
