Home Depot had a sale on the DeWalt DW735X planer a few weeks ago for almost 50% off, and I didn't buy it and now I keep checking the homepage every day to see if the sale is back on again. I would've said something about it in this thread when it happened, but I was probed at the time.

Mr. Mambold posted:Smallest generator ever only powers tiniest violin playing saddest tune It was around 99/2000 and outside of some lighting. I can't think of what use it would have been in a construction situation.The smallest power tool would have been a Milwaukee drill motor. It would have choked on that as well. I could see a use now for charging tool batteries.

idk why but I just didn't like dewalts oscillating tool at all here. The hand feel just irked me. The weight distribution and hand feel was blegh, and it didn't perform anywhere near as quick as my Milwaukee. not a bad tool if you're only using it rarely but otherwise i really couldn't recommend it.

After years of bodged-together solutions for when I'd make frames, I finally sprung for a point driver: This thing is great! It's the kind of tool which will never pay for itself (unless you're selling frames) but it absolutely saves time and effort.

You can also find vintage all metal ones for sale. I bought this for under $90 off of eBay and it works fine:

Ooh, that's really nice. Also the kind of tool whose purpose it would take me embarrassingly long to figure out. Looked some up -- do the vintage ones drive the heavy-duty glazing points or the thin ones which are purely for holding in the art and the backing? The gun I got is for the latter, since I never really need anything stronger.

What's the best way to drill a ~2" diameter hole through cinderblock? I need to some PVC through a wall. I have an SDS hammer and could drill a few small holes, but I didn't know if there was like, a concrete hole saw for an SDS or something.

For 2" you should be able to get a hole saw for an SDS, otherwise may need to rent an SDS max.

If you know you won't hit the web in the middle of the block, drilling small holes and chipping out the circle works great

I am trying to put together a drill block jig and the aluminum spacers I got for the holes are apparently not durable enough to stand up to my drill bits. To make matters worse, the bit and spacer size I need is #6 (9/64") and the only bits Home Depot and Lowes seem to have in that size are countersink bits that go through both wood and metal; ideally the bit I need would drill through wood but not metal. Can any of you point me to a #6 or 9/64" spacer that'll stand up to a drill bit without getting bored bigger by it? And/or a drill bit in the same size that's tough enough for wood but won't widen the inside of a metal spacer? EDIT: The jig-making book I got recommends using bronze spacers/bushings for stuff like this, but I can't find any of those in the size I need. Would these 18-8 stainless steel spacers from BoltDepot.com work? I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 20:25 on May 18, 2022 |

There is most likely a concrete hole saw for sds, in that size. If there isn't, you can just rent an SDS max + the appropriate size saw bit. My company has a six inch diameter in SDS max so smaller should definitely exist. Or you could rent a concrete coring setup and a 2 inch bit for it.

This drill block has a 9/64" hole, which according to my Googling is equivalent to a #6 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0061FY004/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_EJPT7A5407HDZENSJVT0

I'd recommend working on drilling technique before laying down cash, practice drilling straight without putting side pressure on the drill. I can usually get a lot of use out of a plain old wooden drilling blocks, so it's concerning that you're wearing out metal ones so quickly.

This is a person who can't operate a tape measure. And is so bad at taking suggestions they went out shopping for measuring standards to do something - whether it was to prove the tape measure was wrong or to build a better tape measure I can't recall. I believe it was the same person who broke one or more drills trying to drill a simple fastener-sized hole (think like a regular tapcon) in a masonry wall. Either way, there is no way to help this goon. Anything they are attempting to do is going to be with a fundamental lack of research or awareness of how someone would go about the thing they are trying to do.

Drift into a thread and ask a very specific question about a very specific thing that is then revealed to be part of a rube goldberg version of a thing they are trying to build in support of a project that they're already doing the wrong way. The latest schtick seems to revolve around this whole steaming boards thing, and I can't quite remember why this is "necessary", but it's all so amazing that I'm having a hard time believing it's not an elaborate troll.

I’m generally curious about steaming this board to make it straight. Was it discussed in the woodworking thread? The easiest way to make a steam box that I’ve found is to buy a big pvc pipe and put caps on the ends. DO NOT glue the caps on.

You admitted going into debt to buy a loving drill that we told you you didn't need because a hex shank spade bit chucked in your existing drill wobbled. You've spent like $3000 on tools in this thread, but needed to use vise grips to tighten the knobs on a feather board. You also asked about the cheapest benchtop jointer in existence. You're either the forum's most incompetent craftsman with zero impulse control or an elaborate troll. Jesus Christ yourself.
