  1. http://www.harborfreight.com/4-in-turbo-wet-dry-masonry-diamond-blade-68889.html Has anyone tried one of these on a grinder? One of the reviews says they used a grinder, but I have a hard time trusting reviews. I just need to make one cut so I don't want to spend a ton of money if I don't have to.
  2. Sorry to hear that, I know the feeling. I have 3 herniated discs and I was off work for over a year back in 04 when I hurt it. I got used to the pain since they wouldn't operate because I was too young at the time. Ibuprofen is the best thing that helps me now. Good luck Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  3. Thanks for the info. I will look for a diamond blade Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  4. Yep. Plus the screws are coated for pt lumber so it works perfect for me. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  5. I am impressed. That took some precision to get it to work considering the movement of the saw. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  6. I like the hd for my patio chairs. I used it yesterday to assemble my railing at my patio. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  7. I have the K4 plus the Kreg HD kit. I use them a lot Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  8. I thought maybe it was my bit, but the hf drill went right through it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  9. I couldn't imagine paying shipping on a table. The friend I inherited my tools from used to make poker tables and they are not light. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  10. That will look better than a cardboard box I was leaning towards! Haha. I was thinking I could cover it when I am cutting or sanding then uncover it once the dust settles. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  11. Yes I tried it both ways, 2 worked best. Still took forever and smelled hot Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  12. We run a lot of devices at a time, that's why I got the dual band. I have a metal roof on my patio and my retaining wall is about 5.5' tall so I have had spotty signal down there even with my router upstairs in a spare bedroom on the back side of the house close to a window. Now with the extender on the back wall of my garage it helps much more than it could if it was inside my house. I used to have my router in my basement and it would barely reach my garage 20' away through block walls, nothing outside and even my smart tv in our bedroom had terrible signal. Our house is old and big and most walls are concrete since our chimney is in the center of our house and the fireplace in the living room is big enough I can sit in it plus there is one in our bedroom, so between the two the brick is 12' wide or so from the basement to the attic creating a problem for wifi signal.
  13. I bought this for my desktop in my basement, the card in it is weaker than my xbox's, ipad, phones, etc and since I moved my router to the second floor my computer hasn't worked. I rarely use my computer so it wasn't a big deal. I get better range through my house and outside with the router upstairs, but my office/game room is in the basement. After installing the extender in the basement I decided to try it in the garage since I usually have spotty signal in there and it made a big difference down at my patio as well. In my garage I use a tablet to play pandora on my radio and when I do yard work I wear ear buds and play pandora on my phone. We have a lot of parties in the summer so now that I have good signal down at the patio I may bring a tv and xbox down for the kids to watch netflix/hulu/prime or play a game. I haven't checked my computer since I moved the extender to the garage, but if it still works well I plan to leave it out there. That is why I was curious about the saw dust.
  14. My dad gave me a piece of granite that he got from a friend. It is a very nice piece that is perfect for a counter top down at my patio. The only problem is there is a small piece on the back corner that I need to trim off. It must have wrapped around the wall or something since it is just a 2" x 2" nub that is rounded. I just want to cut this off flush and I have never worked with granite. What tools are normally used to cut it and is there a cheap alternative to make 1 cut? I wasn't sure how a masonry blade in a circular saw or a grinder would work? When I install it this side will be against the wall.
  15. The best part is the reason I have that router is my wife and I both play Call of Duty on Xbox on side by side tv's so we wanted the fastest speed at the time so our games didn't lag. Haha. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  16. I borrowed a friends Hilti when I fixed my steps. That thing is awesome! My front porch steps cracked in the middle and one side sunk about 1.5". I got three 4x4x1/2" piece is angle and installed 2 Red Head anchors on each side of the crack. I tightened the bolts slowly and it pulled them right back up. I put a few bricks and concrete under them and hammered the anchors flush and it has been good for a couple years now. Everyone though I was crazy doing it that way, but it worked great Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  17. It's ok. I only bought it so it would sync with my netgear router. My speed is 30-35 in my house but it was 2.5 down at my patio. With the extender I get 10 which I can live with. Much better than it was, but having 4 different signals is a pain. My router is an Ac1200 dual band so it has 2 and the extender has 2. I have to switch my network at the patio to run off my extender then back to my router when I go back inside to keep the full signal. I can live with it though. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  18. Cool. I will try to figure something out for it. Thanks Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  19. Yeah I expected much more out of my M18, even though it is brushed. Especially with a 5.0 pack on it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  20. I plan to move it around as needed so I don't want anything permanent. I assume a dust free box would have to be sealed and I was concerned about the heat. Maybe it's not an issue? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  21. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Netgear-Universal-Dual-Band-WiFi-Range-Extender/20636830 This is the extender. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  22. I was planning to do video comparing the M18 brushed vs M12 Fuel vs HF corded hammer drills doing 1/2" holes in concrete, but today I had to drill a few and I tried to use my M18. It was barely able to drill one and I had to grab my corded hf hammer drill to finish. It did a great job and went right through the concrete. It is the Chicago Electric maroon hammer drill that I paid less than $30 for with a coupon. Great drill for someone who only needs to drill a few holes in concrete here and there. I wouldn't recommend it for daily use though, I doubt it would hold up very well. Perfect for a home owner that has a project and can't justify buying a name brand. There is no point in doing the video now, I don't have the patience to attempt to use either Milwaukee cordless drills to do the rest of the 1/2" holes I need to drill for my Red Head anchors.

  23. I have a brick house with thick walls and even though I have a great wireless router, I don't have great signal in my garage. I decided to finally add a range extender and it made a big difference. My questions now are, does anyone else have any sensitive electronics in their garage/shop and how to you keep the dust out of them? I considered a gallon size zip lock bag, but I don't want it to overheat.
  24. I saw those the other day as well and I have a piece of 4x4 set aside for them. Looks good. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
  25. Very nice set Comp! My dad used to collect chips, but I think he sold most of his over the years. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
