  1. looks great. sometimes Osha regulations go a bit to far. I can understand the new dust regulations but this just doesn't make sense. Does every guy in the sign shop have to get certified or can a shop have one certified guy to check other guys signs?
  2. I like mode 1 on my 887 but I am in the minority. Its flaws are not enough for me to say its a bad mode. It has its place and has room to improve except it may not be for the average guy.
  3. looks like the customer gets a free hole saw.
  4. worse than a chicken coop?
  5. what is the purpose of the scoring blade? tear out prevention?
  6. @tugnut1 you guys ok? Did the fire cause any damage?
  7. The nicer and better looking the tool the better it gets treated in my opinion.
  8. Isn't DeWALT's a dual filter with Hepa and autoclean?
  9. Could just get ole reliable Stanley organizers. This is a DeWALT organizer with smaller bins than the tough system http://www.dewalt.com/en-us/products/gear-and-equipment/tool-storage/20-compartment-pro-organizer/dwst14830 A fishing lure box could almost work. The compartments in many are pretty small.
  10. In the video it seemed like the lights didn't dim early enough. It's just a video. It might be different in the real world. Seems like a handy feature.
  11. I don't have a miter stand I just use the floor at the moment.
  12. I don't know why they don't put all the things in tstak or tough system.
  13. I figure wipe them off at the end of the day and they should last a bit longer if they only get cleaned once in a great while. Hand tools not so much but my battery stuff will get a quick wipe down at the end of the day. I try to take care of my tools.
  14. From my test the curved Lenox was noticeably faster than the straight Bosch. I would recommend. I dont have an orbital recip saw so might be worth testing them in an orbital vs non orbital?
  15. 17 in mower is a bit small... for my yard at least.
  16. The college I went to is actually delayed starting because of it. It's in Hastings,NE
  17. The Kapex also brings a variable speed dial, better dust collection, and a compact rail system.
  18. @Bremon it includes 2 side handles so 3 people can operate the saw. Also Milwaukee came out with the Squatchzall. Worlds largest recip saw.
  19. Looks amazing @SetBuilder. Kinda looks like something that would look out into the side of a canyon or mountain.
  20. Got around to testing my new blades. I will include my Milwaukee Pruning blade as well. The test: Cut live tree limbs after the trees have been rained on. The Lenox: Power arc may seem like a gimmick to some but I think its the real deal. The curved Lenox blade seemed faster than the average wood with nails blade. I almost thought the Lenox was as fast as the pruning blade but I think it is a bit slower. Another thing I noticed about the Lenox Blade is when I wore the coating to the bare metal I noticed the teeth were yellow. I thought I remembered reading they were zinc coated. The Milwaukee Pruning: Fastest of the 3 as expected but surprisingly not much more than the Lenox. I noticed the blade is prone to flexing and bending unlike the others. It was easy to straighten the blade out though. The Bosch: It is noticeably slower than the other 2 blades. I wasn't surprised because it was just your standard wood with nails blade. The coating on the Bosch is impressive. Possibly as tough as a Milwaukee Ax blade. I didn't use it as much as the other two but for as much as I used it, the wear was unusual. One side wore to the bare metal a bit but less wear than the Lenox. The other side didn't really have any coating that wore off. This was the strongest blade of the three. No noticeable bend in the blade after use. Here they are after todays use. You can see how bent the pruning blade is compared to the other 2. This is the side of the Bosch blade that didn't wear to the metal. Heres a close up of the other side of the blades. You can notice the teeth on the Lenox are Zinc plated. It's interesting that some teeth on the Bosch had the coating worn off but other teeth still have the coating.
  21. Is this legal and couldn't they check serial numbers?
  22. ever thinking of getting a drum of glue?
  23. This was a bigger tractor model I cant remember what was on it. 8 series I think. Whoever was driving had full 360 cab lights on. If I remember correctly it looked like it was new.
  24. I used a brand new Ax blade last summer to cut a conifer tree and the coating barely wore by the time I was finished. Lenox blades wore noticeably quickly.
  25. I recently posted in the what tools did you buy about getting these blades. I have finally opened up the packages. I suppose I'll give my pre-use review. Both blades look good. The Bosch EDGE Demolition Wood/Nails: feels sturdy and not likely to bend. The blue finish is not your typical glossy finish like a Milwaukee blade but more like a metalic finish. When you feel the blade in your hand the texture feels almost like a brushed aluminum or steel. The finish so far seems fairly durable. In terms of blade design it appears to be a fairly standard demo wood with nails blade design. Apart from the finish they seem fairly similar to a Milwaukee Ax blade in shape. The Lenox Gold Nail Embedded Wood with Power Arc: The blade feels a hair thiner than the Bosch Edge. I would say the blades flex is a bit more than the Bosch but not by much. I've noticed on Lenox blades the finish is lacking and tends to wear off much quicker than the Milwaukee blades I have used. It's a glossy finish similar to Milwaukee blades. The coverage is lacking on the corners and edges but decent everywhere else. A feature I have been wanting to try is Power Arc. Power Arc is what Lenox calls it's curved blades. Here is a picture of how curved they are. I wonder how different they will be when cutting. Hopefully I can get to use them soon and get a final review up.
