NERemodeling Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for the information regarding what was included with the jigsaw, NER. Interesting to hear that a battery indicator was not included. I thought Makita was putting them on all the new stuff. I guess I'll have to be on the lookout for their new batteries with built in gauges. On a side note, I checked out the MHS website you mentioned and the jigsaw was $20 cheaper than KMS, so thank you very much. i was a bit thrown off that it didn't have a battery indicator also.. i was under the same impression as you that all their new stuff would have them.. maybe not that they are going to be putting them on the batteries they have decided to stop including them on the tools.... glad mhs was cheaper for you.. their website won't tell you shipping charges and it actually says free over $150 if i remember correctly (it doesn't say anything about canada or usa) i emailed the guy for a shipping quote and he replied that he would give me free shipping!! NER, I almost forgot...does the Makita have an LED on the jigsaw? i see Chris beat me to it, yes dual led, one set to each side of the blade.. probably to help with shadows also built in dust blower to keep the cut line clear the blade change is tool free with a nice, easy to grab lever on the front of the saw, no need to turn the lever to insert the blade just push straight in... i have seen in reviews that it has a self ejecting blade but mine does not i have to pull it out... maybe it just needs a shot of WD in there to loosen things up ChrisK, when you get yours could you tell me if your blades self eject?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Pics to be posted but....I bought a Rikon Midi lathe with a second control unit (they had a possibility of recall so they gave me a free one if there was a problem). While I was getting a demo from a pal there my Wife snuck in a Festool OF1010! It was in my shop yesterday when I was wiring in my outlets The 1010 is a nice router but I think that i'm going with the 1400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is free for residential customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
