ChrisK Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 16 hours ago, Conductor562 said: I picked up the Ridgid R4221 miter saw and the big 18510 shop vac that wasn't listed in the ad, but was marked down to $99. Also picked up the $40 shop vac for my BIL. I'm a big fan of the Ridgid vacs. After 10 years, my previous model is worn out. Brushes are shot. It's still going (used it yesterday) but I expect it to catch on fire each time I use it. The miter saw, well..... it's not bad for a $300 saw, but my initial impression is not overly optimistic. I would say I had the Ridgid 10" miter for a few years and I didn't have blade wobble with mine but from day one, I did not realize at first, my fence was NOT square to the table or the blade. I blame it on inexperience at the time but when the experience came the saw went. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Mrs. Conductor bought lots of shit. We fill up her car every year, but this year was the worst yet. She rode home with a shop vac on her lap and I literally had to stuff the last couple of bags in the window ? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's the thrill of the hunt or something, but she loves to go all out. It's a pain in the ass fighting the crowds, but she gets great deals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoreyR Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 4 hours ago, Conductor562 said: I don't mean to sound overly negative. I decided to roll with it and I expect it to be sufficient for my use. Even with its faults I suspect it will be a good saw at its price, but I don't know how well it would hold up on a job site over time. I'm not making a living with it and don't need perfection, but if I did, I'd be looking elsewhere. Its not a problem at all. I was just curious what issues you had and they ended up being similar to mine. I'm also in the same boat where I won't be making a living off of this saw and it's mainly DIY/woodworking hobby saw which should hold up good. I appreciate the feedback.

Stercorarius Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I love black Friday and the Saturday after. All the people are down town so I get the highway and back roads all to myself. Didn't see a single car on the roads when I did commodity deliveries this morning until about noon when people started to wake up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like going into the open supply stores and not waiting forever cause every other contractor in town is still hungover.
