  1. Brushless Belt Sander!

    in Ridgid

    Posted

    just need a hoseless vacuum


    I have the RIDGID branded one the dust bag is actually very good, the sander does an awesome job of collecting it’s own dust, I don’t generally use it with a vac.

    I love the belt sander it’s a 3x18 belt, really to take advantage of it I recommend the 5.0 battery if you guys have them

    Nice setup! I also use my Ego blower to clean up the garage. Blow the remaining saw dust out of the garage and let nature take it's course.

    I typically spill large amounts of sawdust and chips on the floor, I have my RIDGID vac under my bench and enough hose to reach the whole shop. What doesn’t gets vacuumed? EGO baby!

    Packout looks nice except my other systems keep growing.

    I like the concept of packout however I was looking at a few boxes and they have a large footprint, much bigger than tough systems

  12. Any feed back on new 20v brushless grinder

    in Dewalt

    I’d say if your not grinding hard all the time and your in the 20v line it’s a good option. But for more serious grinding the flex is probably a better solution...I just hear the runtime on the flex at full power is not too long ,  and the 20v gets a lot done for me with a 5ah.....hope it helps ..best of luck let’s know what you get and how it works :)

    Runtime straight grinding on the flex I was told for a 6" disc is around 6 minutes

     

    When I tested the Metabo 6" with the 7.0 I ran about 10 minutes, when i dropped disc size to 4 1/2" it was around 13 minutes

     

    So I would assume with a 4 1/2" disc you could run around 8-9 minutes... I may be purchasing a flex grinder to test this 

  13. Worst Milwaukee Tool

    I actually like the slower rpm of the screw driver for more prescision work, the m12 fuel impact or the brushed drill I’ll use for more rpm but odds are I’m grabbing an m18 impact for bigger stuff anywho

  24. FUEL vs Non-FUEL

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    For me a fuel grinder with a 5.0 was good enough to no longer carry a corded but it wasn't truly a corded replacement it was just good enough to compromise some power.  Now the dewalt 60v I would say is truly a corded replacement when it comes to power but it has size and weight to go with it.  Run time of the fuel with a 5.0 and the 60v with a 6.0/2.0 are very similar.   I have a 3.0/9.0 flexvolt but ive never put it on my 60v grinder and I haven't done any real grinding with the fuel and 9.0 to compare thier runtimes.  I've been told the best power runtime and ergonomics is the metabo but I still like to think I control my addiction so I don't own one yet.

    Metabo is a beast
