[M18 Miter stopped working]

I'm not a Milwaukee guy but seems like somehow you were putting a lot of load on the Saw which doesn't make much since being your cutting plywood.

 

Only thing I can think of is if your blade was extremely dull to where it was burning the wood and you had to muscle it threw the wood.

[Compressor Advise]

Ok here is the deal.

Expanding my Siding company and adding a 2nd Installer.

 

We used Red pancakes and hate them.

 

We both use Hitachi AVH2 Siding nailers.

 

I need an air compressor that can run 2 Siding installers (Sheathing as well with 8 OC in field and 4OC on egde). Rapid fire does happen and the compressor needs to be able to handle both nailers firing simultaneously at any pace then work requires.

 

I need the compressor to maintain the proper PSI to both guns under constant load.

 

Is the Hitachi Wheelbarrow my answer or can I still remain Electric and be fully satisfied.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know if this will run a 18g stapler for underlayment?

Yes perfect for that application actually.

Don't get too cereal on me 🤷🏿‍♀️

[Only 1 120v Tool]

I can almost guarantee we are just behind a curtain of goodies.

 

I assume 120v tools that adapt to corded are going threw additional testing because I remember reports of the Miter tripping every breaker in houses and other electrical problems confirmed by Dewalt to be a tool issue.

no idea. maybe extra strength or moisture resistance? I guess it is better to over do it than under do it.

Yeah I'm just not buying that answer. The sheathing doesn't control the shear strength of the wall. And thicker plywood will only have the ability to absorbe more moisture.

Joe is a Dewalt Addict he can't help it .

 

And if you don't have employees chances are you are an employee? 

Pick 1 😂 

 

As for my personal situation my company runs great with the tools we have.

Why 3/4 for Walls ??

 

Seems like a waster 

 

1/2 or 5/8 are code compliant where I live

I had the 18v Dewalt caulk gun.

It was very useful to blow up caulk tubes. Then it quit working.

I use the heavy duty gun from HD. They quit working after a couple months, but they're only like $15.

You can put Quad Max in the microwave for 30 seconds. Leaving it on the dashboard in direct sunlight helps as well.

Thanks for the tip.

I did notice the sunlight thing. The pumping got easier as the caulking warmed up.

[i hate dewalt bit sets]

I use an Impact to drive screws regardless of size using the variable speed trigger.

 

I think the people stripping Phillips screws are using chuck drills to drive screws.

 

Now that's not to say someone who uses a chuck drill to drive screws everyday hasn't mastered it .

Just seems to be the DIY or new guy who is stripping a screw into wood or light gauge metal.

[Only 1 120v Tool]

I understand Makita has their x2 vac

 

But is talking about a cordless vacuum with corded power. 120v Cordless same voltage coming out the wall.

 

And Yes I will say Dewalt introduced me to the Tracksaw and a little research on YouTube showed the Festool in action. So yes they are partners in the education of consumers about track saws wither they like it or not.

While I hear ya on that, most of what we're looking for already exists. If you want to talk about all new tools with new designs/electronics/ergonomics, etc... sure. Don't be premature, but for the most part what everyone has wanted is already there. We want a 120v Vac. Take the 120v Vac you already have, mount the 120v adapter for 60v batteries you already have, mould them together with a plastic housing, wire the focker and send it. It literally is that simple. Rinse and repeat for practically everything else. We don't need to reinvent the wheel here, this is like taking two lego bricks from two different sets and snapping them together. It just works because it's already designed too, nothing groundbreaking or proprietary needed. 

 

😂 

Relax man let's all remember why we love Dewalt.

 

When that 120v Vac drops it will be the first Cordless Shop Vac in the World.

 

Full-Size with the ability to throw your adapter on and run all day.

Phillips is not great but for whatever reason it sticks around so we gotta have the bits for it haha. I prefer square or torx.

Phillips #2 is the most common bit used in the states.

 

And the Maxi-Fit #2 bits grip the screws very well.

Never heard of caulking to fill nail holes...for azek (plastic trim) painters use bond and fill ...doesn't shrink...and for pine they use glazing compound

And for Cedarmill fiber cement where you don't want a smooth finish you want to try imitating the grain?

 A simple dab of caulking and a pass or two with the thumb going with the grain works magic for me

 

[i hate dewalt bit sets]

Yeah. I go threw a couple Dewalt tips cases every month or 2

you caulk nail holes? that shrinks and leaves divots.

We Blind Nail Everything we can

 

Bit Trim, Fascia, Soffit must be face nailed.

 

Soffit we set the depth to just above flush and no caulk is necessary.

 

Fascia and Trim we countersink the nails and fill 2 times with caulk.  

1st pass is the fill and 2nd pass the next day to fill shrinkage.

[20v Caulking Gun Yay or Nay]

I am thinking about buying the 20v Caulk Gun

 

Have started using OSI Caulk and it's tough on the hand. 

 

Mainly will I'll be using for exterior caulking of Siding, Fascia, Trim, and Soffit.

 

Can I bump it for filling nail holes
