KKKLIP ART posted:I ended up doing the Dewalt DWE7491RS. 10 inch, accepts a dado with the correct throat plate, and the stand is pretty heavy duty and collapses and has big rubber wheels. I do t have a shop, only a small shed, so being able to get it in and out was a must. This saw is fantastic for a jobsite saw. My only gripe is the miter slots are that weird angled dovetail kind and some styles of adjustable width miter runners do not play well, but full height runners work fine. I just picked up a sheet of HDPE and cut to size. I 3d printed a hose adapter for my shop vac and it negates like 95%+ of the dust without the blade guard, probably would get almost everything if I threw that on and figured out a y splitter.

I even already put in a new gfci circuit/outlet in the best spot to stow it in the third bay. He wanted me to have any tools of his from his massive workshop that I would find useful, literally a dying wish. He sold his huge, awesome sable saw and was about to order a SawStop when he got diagnosed with aggressive cancer. He taught me so much about using tools safely and being a handy person that the best thing I can do it pass that spirit on to my kids. devmd01 fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jul 8, 2021 |

If an HVLP sprayer is high volume as the name indicates, a pancake compressor is not going to cut it. They're fine for using an airbrush.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive miter saw for someone who just needs to cut up 2x4s, trim, quarter round and the like now and again?

I. M. Gei posted:next week I got a miter saw    Yeah it’s the 780 and not the 779, but I got the $599 price tag down to $519 using Home Depot’s price match guarantee with a deal I found at another place online. Even better, the $519 deal was TAX-FREE, and I somehow managed to sweet-talk my HD into excluding the tax on my price match too. I have no idea how I pulled that off since Home Depot’s price match policy doesn’t cover sales tax exclusions, but I did it. So basically I saved about $130 total on what would have been a $648.42 purchase. I know it’s still more than what I would’ve paid for the DWS779 without the klurf laser but………. DAMMIT SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME I DIDN’T DO A FUCKUP HERE!! I actually felt kinda proud of myself for this.

It cuts good. If you don't need to cut larger pieces (or do so infrequently that you can just flip the board) I'm not sure you need to pay for a slider, though. That said, the build quality of the Metabo 10" slider is way better than the static one (which was my first miter saw and is now just a portable chop saw for pressure-treated wood). I like using the slider one while the other one makes me swear. So it may be worth it if you appreciate that sort of thing.

Swears are part of construction and woodworking in general, I've found. However, a tool that forces a habitual swear is *not* a good tool. It is, in fact, a goddamned bad tool.

I've been wanting to get a rotohammer for a while now. I'll mostly be using it with a clay spade bit to dig, though I do have some other uses for it. I borrow a rotohammer or demo hammer from work on occasion to do this sort of stuff around my yard. I don't love the idea of spending a couple hundred bucks to keep from having to use a pinch point bar to dig, but I hate using that thing. I have 2 questions about this. 1) is there a better tool I can look for to help me dig in hard clay soil? 2) is buying a new gen battery powered rotohammer a bad idea? Should I buy corded? I don't expect to need to use the thing for 8 hour days at a time, and I currently have an opportunity to buy a cordless one for 35-40% off retail, but only have one (moderately large) battery for that battery system Edit: the demo hammer I borrow from the office is corded, so I have no frame of reference for how a cordless one works compared to corded. It's also way too big for my needs and is a pain to borrow regularly. Xenix fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jul 10, 2021 |

In fairness, my swearing is mostly related to the non-slider's dogshit pretend attempt at dust collection. I don't expect miracles on a miter saw but I expect at least an attempt. It's why I keep it for pressure treated stuff though, because I don't have to lug my nice one outside and I wouldn't be caught dead cutting that stuff inside. The slider does okay with a bag and surprisingly good with a vac.

 I bought that 90 degree drive yesterday. Used it exactly once to drive a 6" lag screw, and now I can't get the loving thing out. Anyone else have this issue, or is there something I'm missing to get this out? I'm considering bringing this whole thing back to Lowes and bitching at them that this piece of poo poo broke my hammer driver.

It's probably a tighter fit and/or has a burr on it so the clamp thing in the chuck isn't releasing. Pull the collar out on the drill and with a wrench (even a small adjustable) on the shaft of the attachment and wiggle. Also try pushing it further in with the collar out. Put some silicone or dry lube in the drill chuck to help with this in the future.

Sure, but I'd expect the gears that make the 90 to be the things that get destroyed. The shaft part that goes into the hammer drill is the same poo poo you put into a hammer drill with basically any other bit.

I think it's detrimental to use a drill that hammers horizontally to have that force exerting practically oscillating in the socket- which word I should have used instead of shaft. I mean that's why the thing got stuck. Or I could just be woofing. <sjhrug>

Try putting the driver in reverse (or forward, whichever is opposite from how you had it) and hold the end of the 90 adapter with a pair of pliers. Don't go crazy, but a few light dugga-duggas in the opposite direction usually loosens those up for me.
