I would use it for the porcelain tile I have to put in the kitchen and bathrooms. So it would be used minimally. Logistically I'm not near a place that would rent me one and well I usually work on projects after work over multiple days so renting doesn't add up. Should I just use a diamond blade, skilsaw, and squirt bottle?

Yea it will be fine for procelain projects. And you are right, just like me I work on things after work or when I have free time. Renting one would add up super fast. I think HD charges about $45 a day to rent one. Look for a coupon, they may match 10% off lowes or Black Friday might be a good day too!

So this is not a buy, but a win! I was 1 of the 3 very very fortunate individuals to win the Metabo flat head angle grinder! This is my very first contest/tool win on this forum ever (actually my very first power tool win in my life)!! I'm going through some rough times & this win is by far the best thing that could of ever happened to me & get me thinking positive again! Thanks again to Metabo, the Tools In Action team & all of you on here & in this community! #tiacrew

Sorry the pics are crap, I'll take better ones tomorrow and pics. I have a cool video!

[Kreg Jig Organization toolbox/case ??]

Those look nice! Didn't realize they made kreg labelled boxes even....

Find something at HD with similar layout and take your kreg jig with you to see if it fits. 

Yeah@KnarlyCarl I think you're right. I do remember seeing one or something that's almost identical or close enough! A friend I know saw this post and is sending me the $30 organizer I'm going to give it a try!!

Also it's not a "true wet saw " where the pump sprays water on the blade and tile. this just has a section you fill with water and the blade just spins in water. it kicks up a lot of dust and the water gets super dirty super fast underneath the deck

Good tool? Anybody with any experience with this? $189 $99

I have use that exact one a few times it's cheap but it's no good! for another hundred dollars or so you can have a real rigid wet saw

[Kreg Jig Organization toolbox/case ??]

I have really been getting into Kreg in the last year or so. And recently noticed that the Kreg things are all over the place. haha.  The Kreg K4 Jig is sitting on my shelf, all my drill bits, allen key, square bits are all in an organizer and one of my bags.  My K3 kit in on the shelf, the clamps are hanging up & the my boxes of screws are all in a Milwaukee organizer, etc.   ...you get it, haha.

 

I saw on the site, that all they have now is the "Kreg System Organizer" ..This looks ok, but is really built for the new Kreg K5 system with the 2 sides (the big hole in the middle is meant for those parts) so its a lot of wasted space for 90% of people who have the K4 system. 

 

 

I also came across some images online of an old Kreg toolbox, that looks like it came in a few sizes.  This thing is super cool, holed the screws on top and all the jigs and parts clip in the bottom perfectly.  but looks like they don't make anymore.  Should i grab one online, looks like a few sites still have some left, but they are like $80 shipped!!  does anytone have suggestions on how they store all their Kreg stuff??

 

[What tools did you buy today?]

I got the following in the pics below plus a 1x5" and 1x2" both 6 feel long in sanded pine. This is what I am planning on using to make a small coffee table top. I was going to alternate sizing.

In regards to the crag wood pieces they don't tell you what what they're made of or if they're stainable, just can be painted. is there anyway I can get them in Pine?

[Converting Fuel Circular Saws to EU/UK Dust Collection Capiable]

I never thought dust collection was that important, then I started using Festools. Now I am more aware of how much dust sprays everywhere and is inhaled while woodworking with vother tools. Other tools definitely do the same or better job in regards to performance at a lower price but at the expense of mess and potentially health. I wish more big companies would put more thought into the dust collection aspect. I bought the Milwaukee m18 Miter saw and while I do like it, it has to be used outside. It is apparent that they had a "whatever" attitude when designing the dust collection aspect of it. 

Very well said

[Converting Fuel Circular Saws to EU/UK Dust Collection Capiable]

So last night I sent the money to my contact & I'm super excited! I sent $100 because he sending me some extra parts for a few other tools I'm going to convert... which I will update you all on soon.

It cost me about $40 for the parts for this build, I'm sorry it took so long everyone, I've literally been saving five dollars a paycheck for the last few months due to money issues and a lot of family struggles which a bunch of you know about and have been very supportive and kind!

I can't wait to do this and will write up a very very in-depth tutorial and some videos when it arrives. even though it's taken a long time, I hope to contribute more projects to this forum and will let you guys pick the next one!! hopefully it's not going to be another five dollar a week at a time saving $, but I'm Trying

[Converting Fuel Circular Saws to EU/UK Dust Collection Capiable]

The conversion is an interesting option, but damn even importing a EU saw is crazy expensive. You looking at 280 to 330 dollars for the bare tool that's a lot more than what it costs here [emoji20] It would have been nice if Milwaukee let us upgrade to the dust extractor at least. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=M18+CCS66+&_sacat=0

Yeah that's why it's taken me so long and hundreds of $$ in long-distance phone calls. haha. but I finally found somebody overseas who is also interested in US parts so he's basically covering the shipping because he is interested in doing the opposite there

[Does anyone change their own oil anymore or is that extinct like the dinosaurs]

I've always changed my own oil and will continue doing as long as I am able.  It gives me a chance to crawl under it and look for other potential issues I may not know about.  Wish I could get by with a $29.50 oil and filter change.  Changed mine last week end when we went to our other home and it cost about $80.00.  Mobile one full synthetic with a mobile one filter.  Broke my heart and my pocket.

Maybe I read it wrong but you said it broke your pocket. you can get 5 quarts Mobil one at Walmart for 23 bucks and then I get an OEM filter and crush washer from Acura for $7. under 30 bucks for basically the best oil

[What kind of wood should I buy to learn woodworking??]

Hey guys I've been really really wanting to get into & learn wood working ...like tables, cabinets, that kind of stuff. I have the majority of the tools, Craig jigs, nice work benches, clamps, table saw, etc. I'm just not sure what is the best kind/type of wood I should be buying to learn to make things like a coffee table or end table.

I am really into the reconditioned wood look but I figured normal wood would be better to learn with... I also really want to learn how to build a tabletop with multiple strands. I see guys pocket hole & glue or wood dowel etc. just trying to get advice to get started

Here is some I saw I liked and want to learn eventually:

[Does anyone change their own oil anymore or is that extinct like the dinosaurs]

So how many of us still change our own oil, it seems to be coming an almost extinct thing. Everyone spends a lot of money on their car and then takes it to a Jiffy Lube and gets "fully synthetic & quality filter" installed. My car needs to run quality full synthetic. I was feeling lazy yesterday so I called Acura, a local shop, and the drive-in place near me, all quoted me anywhere from $70-$90 because it's "expensive oil". I got 5 quarts Mobil 1 at Walmart for $23... absolute score and then got the filter straight from Acura for $6.50! Does anybody else just get lazy and say screw it and pay 80 bucks?

Side note: I love when I hear people at work talking about you know... that "I have a Ferrari & the other guy has "classic cars" at home ...but they never drive them to work or show anybody because I don't wanted to get messed up in the parking lot haha. Am I the only person here that's heard this kind of talk at work??
