jtkendall Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ordered the Dewalt Portable Power Station since ToolUp had it for $199 bare tool last night, a Bahco scraper, and a Veritas apron plane with an A2 blade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to get decent reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This version won't (Version 4 only fits the newer Milwaukee models) but version 3 might, same table just different mounting holes. They have a list of all the different models of bandsaws each table supports on thier website. So far I'm pretty impressed with it, pretty beefy top, miter slots are straight, saw mounts to the table and miter slots square, no wobble when cutting, and the shipping was super fast. Ordered it on Monday and it was sitting on the front step Wed afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 The rest of my Japan order came in, the small 3.Peaks (screw removing) locking pliers and two Vessel gel grip screwdrivers: ...and FINALLY a circuit breaker finder that works. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Actually I only went with the A2 because their “tech” info page seemed to just cover O1 and A2 when I originally looked at it on the shoulder planes. A2 keeps an edge longer than the O1 so it made the most sense of those two. It looks like the apron blade tech page does mention the PM-V11 and after looking into it now I probably should have got it. I’ll probably order a PM-V11 blade for it next time I order something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky603 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 My HD BF purchase included the 300-lb Gorilla platform and the 22 ft Gorilla type-1AA multi-position. They already had some of the BF prices slashed further, so couldn't pass up a DeWalt twist drill set for $7.99 from $14, and 3 more Avanti framing blade 2-packs at $6 each. And, although I'm stocked deep in the Bosch Daredevils, I grabbed the last 3 6+2 bonus packs for $4.99 each. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkendall Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Bought the final few tools I wanted/needed today. Ordered two Milwaukee M18 Rover Mounting Flood Lights from Acme to help light up the garage shop. In the spring spring I'll get around to installing some better lights after I figure out how to get rid of an overhead garage door. Also waited up for the Lee Valley cyber Monday sale and found nothing marked down enough for me to jump on. Instead I picked up an imperial micro-adjust wheel marking gauge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwjr Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I grabbed the Wera screw driver set off Amazon on sale. The Diablo blades and clamps were a Black Friday purchase. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison pic is missing like 5 new screwdrivers haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 @JimboS1ice how is the rotex? Does it seem to be hard to control/jump around? Mine seems that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine seems that way. It’s a taxable beast, wicked power in gear mode, if you don’t have a decent grip it’ll kick you. I run it with a RIDGID Shop vac and a dust deputy so that helps suck the sander to the surface. Are you using the side or auxiliary handle? You can try running Mirka Abranet paper instead it isn’t as aggressive as Granat is.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tested dust collection so couldn't comment but seeing as the Bosch you mentioned is like an 8 year old design I kinda doubt the dust collection is up there with a rotex :/ would need to check it but would really surprise me :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Since my table saw does not support a dado stack I ordered the Microjig Dado Stop and a pair of their Matchfit dovetail clamps, also ordered a Whiteside 14º dovetail bit. The GRR-RIPPER I ordered from Rockler hasn't showed up yet, but it came with a $10 gift card that oddly enough has already shown up. So I bought a 20mm and a 1/2" forstner bit and a gallon of Titebond II. Free shipping made the glue $12 which saved me $5 plus tax compared to the local big box store, the bits were actually cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
