  7. Welp... Plastic burns holes in your skin. Note taken.

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    This is among the worst pain I've ever felt... Using the grinder today and hit down some plastic. The friction melted the plastic, and like the retard I am, I tried to flick it away, without thinking that it was molten plastic that would stick to my skin. Lesson relearned, and the pits in my skin show that.

    I would have a pic here, but if I take it off the ice for that long the pain is too bad.

  12. Does anyone else miss brushed tools?

    i miss the new tool smell on a brushed tool.

    Gatorb888, i understand you're take on this. Could you offer an opinion then, as to why the most powerful tools in the market are mostly brushless?

    Examples, Dewalt's HT wrench. Makita's hammer drill, grinder, impact driver and circ saw, Milwaukee's grinder, circ, recip, HT wrench, rotary SDS hammer.

    The only exception that comes to mind is Metabo's grinder.

    Gator is right, I misworded it. They are more powerful because companies want to sell the more expensive brushless models, so they make the new models more powerful than a brushed so they sell more.

    Yeah, I know about the difference in power, but it seems like the brushless tools don't exactly last as long. I don't know about you guys, but I prefer when the life of a tool was up to the user not the confuser inside. Believe me, I love my brushless tools, I'm just still a little skeptical of spending hundreds extra on brushless models of everything... What do you think?

  25. Homemade radial arm?

    in Power Tools

    I've been thinking about building a light duty radial arm saw with a dewalt circ saw, cuz once you take the guard off you can get an 8.5 inch blade on. First of all, have any of you tried this? Second of all, do you think it's practical to design? I'd be using it for cutting plywood shelves longer than 20", which is the max my sliding miter can handle.
