Stercorarius Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yeah PVC is no joke when it goes. Never, ever, EVER run compressed air in PVC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamika Lewis Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I live & work in Alberta ,Canada where we have cold mornings regardless of the season. Our pipe is almost always outside or in cold parkades. I heard if you try to cut pipes that are too cold, it increases the chance of it shattering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheng Liu Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 So are they replacing the 40v OPE then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 As per Dewalt reps: no. As per historic trends from Dewalt: maybe. I think introducing FlexVolt OPE really did them no favors. Makes people question why they would have 3 lines of outdoor gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thought of a good tool to have on this platform. A brushless high torque collated floor screwer. We have a Senco AC model and love it. We screw all our subfloors down and can use it for tile underlayment too. Being able to be cordless would make things so much nicer on a new construction site.

Somewhat. It would need more torque and probably need to run at a slower speed. When we frame our homes and additions we screw down the subfloor vs nailing. Not tripping over a cord doing this would be nice. We have a couple Senco duraspin models. Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Thanks, Long time lurker, finally bite the bullet & made a account. One of my coworkers has one, & she let me use it for a day. It's definitely one of the best m12 tools but I would like to see an 20volt version for dewalt, that has an bigger capacity for rough ins and maybe a light built in for dark cabinets & a guard just in case the pipe shatters while cutting. My company actually just banned the m12 shears because there isn't a guard, & a couple of people have had pipe shatter into their face. Hey there, yes you are correct. The m12 shears doesn't have any type of guard and can shatter PVC that has become brittle over time especially on a condensing furnace vent. To prevent that, I rock the cutter back and forth as it starts cutting, but even that doesn't guarantee a shatter free cut Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I wonder if @KnarlyCarl has any experience with that occurring. Yeah just now reading this. PVC that is brittle like from uv exposure will shatter. Cellular core PVC is much easier to cut and I have never had it shatter. Abs is the same way, pretty soft compared to solid PVC pipe Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 when is the track compatible circular saw coming out? Is it coming to north america? I seen it in a video of europs flex volt but not for any for north america Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 It's up to Dewalt if they are going to bring the track saw over. Dewalt hasn't had the best of luck marketing tracksaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty much the first and I think it is the entry drug for many folks with a Festool addiction.

jeffmcmillan Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Americans seem to be a big fan of table saws over tracksaws. The other thing you never see here are alligator saws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Breaking down sheet goods with a crew or even a helper is fine on a table saw, but doing it solo is not very fun on thicker sheets. Nothing worse than ripping 3/4" ply solo on a mobile table saw with no outfeed table. Using track saws on sheet good isn't as comfortable unless the sheet is elevated meaning there's more setup materials, saw horses and a platform to catch or support both sides of the cut. Productivity vs Comfort vs Simplicity. The answer to which is better is different depending on help, materials, do you have a shop or mobile operation, do you have time to setup and breakdown, etc... The answer? Have and use both appropriately regardless of your setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primary use for that is cutting clay blocks, and even though it has many other uses, it's benefits over a standard chainsaw are kind of limited. Better for this or that, but worse for many other things and reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do some work in older hospitals/medical schools where clay tile was used as filler. I can imagine everyone's face when we cut a door and lintel in straight!! I wonder how the alligator would handle plaster on metal lathe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
