  7. Anyone ever used Campbell Hausfeld tools?

    I had a Campbell Hausfeld 6 gallon pancake compressor for awhile.  I actually like it a little more than my Porter Cable 6 gallon pancake.  It ran more quiet though it took a little longer to refill.  But it always started up and worked fine, even had it running a roofing nailer for a church project.  I can't say too much about any of their guns but they seem to be a decent value brand.  I'm curious to see how your new nailer will perform.

    yeah I was looking at the cobalt's at lowes tonight, I am starting to build my own furniture and its a pain in the ass to cut perfectly straight lines with a circ saw so I would like something that is true and dependable

    I'm with you on that, setting up a circ saw with a rip guide takes too much time and sometimes doesn't turn out.  Having a sliding miter saw is the way to go, it makes those crosscuts so much easier and repetitive cuts can be done with ease.  Unfortunately I don't have mine anymore but when I get some cash i'm definitely looking to either a Ryobi 10 in slide, Kobalt 10 in slide, or a Chicago Electric 12 in slide.

    I had their 10 inch slider a couple years ago before trading up to a Kobalt 10 inch slider.  The rails were smooth and it worked perfectly, just needed a little tweak to get it to cut true.  The motor seemed strong and I wouldn't think that it would burn up easy.  I've never used the one you've mentioned but if it's anything like the other saw it should hold up fine.  Just get the extended warranty if you're worried.  It's a pretty good deal considering that you can't find other sliding 12 inch saws anywhere close to the price.

    Sad, really. I feel you. :(

    So wrong in so many levels to actually have to pay for medical treatment you or your family needs to have any way. :( And being in need to sell your good tools is even sader.

     

    Reading the top text though, my first though was that you had cut yourself on the actuall saw, and it was sold in an "rage". 

     

     

    Not the same situation as you, but given the low oil prices and my low age, I may not have a job for too long, and that means buying less tools. Which would be a sure bummer too. :( But the medical bills are at least practically free, which is nice when you are as clumpsy as myself. Also, the woman in the house last week had to get some titanium screws, large operation and have to walk with gypsum on the legg. Can't complain on the 50 $ bill total. Could have been a disaster, would guess it would cost a lot having two of the best surgeons, 4 anesthetic people, a lot of nurses ++. Damn.

    I'm reading it again and it definitely sounds that way.  It is tough but I know that it's the fastest way to get cash and like others have said, the tools can be replaced.

    Yeah dados are really not that hard the setting up takes the longest as I was using a router with a 12mm bit, I was making 18mm dados so multiply times I had to postilion the guide.

     

    If I do more of this type of projects I will be investing in a Festool 1400EQ

    That Festool would be awesome.  I'll probably give dadoes a try sometime, or biscuits too.

    One of the water holes I used to always fish at is the same way now.  The fish use to be in good shape but in recent years the water quality has just gone down and the fish have a weird smell to them now.
