It's pretty cool and super accurate. $80 but it's pretty slick. That is VERY cool not really a marking gauge. At least I dont see how it can work as that?

Yeah it's certainly a specialty tool and it costs plenty but I do use it for gauging lines on wider boards because the radial register works slick as snot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 The shaft is certainly shorter than my wheel gauge but the register is way more positive and the cut is really impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrmccabe Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Oddly enough in today's class, Rob cut a tenon on a jewelry box shelf with the marking gauge like the one I just bought. Amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkendall Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Band saws need fences, so I ordered the Powertec BS900RF rip fence because it supposedly fits my little Ryobi band saw. It arrived today and it does indeed fit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabee Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Just purchased a Bosch 12v brushless impact driver to go with my PS42 brushless 12v drill, 12v radio and LBOXX. I love Bosch's 12v stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Oh here, my boss went a little press-tool-and-radius-light happy and bought two used Ridgid press tools plus a brand new Parker refrigerant press tool using Makita batteries, and these three additional Radius lights.... . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kale Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Well was gonna buy some kaizen foam inserts but decided to make my own with some foam I found in a local krafts store! Excited to use this in doors for plumbing also pretty pumped for having extra room for more tools! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Almost decided to start negotiating to buy this guy at a pawn shop, was listed at $250 for the kit. I just don't need it. So I was going to have nothing to show but the USPS and UPS delivered: Mechanix sale/Sears gifts from Grip-on and Knipex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Nice looking box, @Kale and I see you tape your cans together too, good haha makes life easy. I really like that idea of having material/consumables like your glue in the same box as the relevant tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 @KnarlyCarl single 2.0s are $99 here. Only way to get a deal on them is in certain kits. Power tool life in Canada is rough lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
