yeah or Milwaukee. I heard Milwaukee has a dual battery saw in the works

even something as simple as a dust port on their circular saw shroud and track groves on the base would be sufficient.

I forgot about table saw. I know a plumber who uses a miter saw so the m18 miter could in their plumbers line haha.

the fuel gauge in the Bosch ope batteries look nice.

Stihl the Husqvarna is good right? Pun intended.

Earlier today I was reading a thread and it was brought up that there are all these tools Milwaukee has that DeWALT does not have. This got me thinking if DeWALT had any other tools that Milwaukee does not. I also happened to read a revived old thread talking about the Flexvolt tracksaw. The post that revived it showed the Festool corded plunge saw vs the Flexvolt plunge saw (power and speed of the flexvolt was very impressive) Milwaukee tends to be one of DeWALT's toughest competitors so I wondered does Milwaukee have a good track saw? I checked on Milwaukee's website and they do not offer a track saw. Any chance Milwaukee would be coming out with one?

I'm hoping to get one myself. It will be my first track saw.

kinda funny how some Milwaukee tools are only in brushed but DeWALT has them in brushless (multitool, planner) and the stuff DeWALT has in brushed Milwaukee has in brushless (grinder, 6.5in saw, recip saw)

for larger/wider material the track saw is the way to go. The cut, when properly used, should be great. A track saw is going to be a more expensive option than a circular saw, but what you get with the increased cost is a better cut, usually better dust collection, and more accurate cuts. I wouldn't completely get rid of your table saw though. If I could only have either a track saw or table saw I would go with the table saw because it more easily can cut narrow material. The table saw is a lot better for cutting small or narrow material.

wow sounded like the Festool was struggling a bit. The DeWALT sounded like it had power to spare. Also nice the DeWALT works with Festool track

So does the vac only have less power when tool actuated or does power increase if the switch is used? I was interested in the DeWALT vac since it has tool actuated option and has self cleaning system but if it doesn't have enough power I may need to look at a different option.

maybe try integra blades

The only beverages I drink are water and whole milk. I sometimes mix cinnamon, peanut butter, or almond butter with my milk. I think milk is best when drunken with a spoon.

looks great.

true @rrmccabe. I guess I never really thought about the winter months.

@ChrisK what are the plywood pieces you made used for?

They are good for installing hinges or similar hardware where it is important to have the bit centered in the hole.

Milwaukee may have a bunch of tools that DeWALT doesn't have but are they tools the average guy would use? I see Milwaukee as being more a company geared towards plumbers, mechanical, electricians and hvac/r first and Rough/Finish/general carpentry last. I see DeWALT as being geared more towards the rough/finish/general carpenter first and the m,e,p,hvac/r guys last.

Might be the first classic car I have seen with led lights.

seems a bit fishy

@rrmccabe why do the stones have to be soaked?

the cutting table is for glass?

I got these bits the other day at Big G Ace. Seemed like the quality is good. Came in a 4 pack for around $30. Couldn't find the exact set but here is a link to a similar Isomax set. http://www.grahamlumber.com/HINGE_CENTERING_BITS_p/1165166.htm

them not coming off is new to me. Have you tried taking out the 20v battery then trying to remove the adapter?

nice. How's the new switch working out?
