Hadn’t posted in a long time. I use 12v Bosch and m18 Milwaukee. I scored this bandsaw on eBay for $148 with the sales tax. It was the bare tool and an 2.5 amp hour battery and charger. I know the bare tool sold on Black Friday for $69. I really didn’t check out the flex closeouts at Lowe’s...

Going to make a raised bed from 4x4s. Ran into rock. Used my big makita hm1214c to break it up. Can the chisel be saved or is it toast? Also the 10 gauge extension cord (50ft) has minor twists in it. It was an Amazon warehouse deal. I think it’s ok. Opinions. The cordless m18 1 3/4 rotary worked...

I made hole wider so maybe I will be fine without extension. I’m gonna use a 12 inch footing pad. www.footingpad.com Been using the DH507 and a clay spade to open up hole wider. Its not deep enough I want to go down 30-36 inches. I do a little digging when I have time. Eventually it will get done.

Thank you. But unfortunately it’s for core bits.

I’m using a garden auger made my custom augers / and a makita right angle drill to make a 5.75 inch hole to add a deck post. Drill clutch engages when I hit a big rock. Bought a little Bosch dh107 demo hammer. Even using a 24 inch bull point it’s hard to get enough reach when 24 or more inches...

2 kinds of tools. The ones used daily and the one that sits in the drawer for 5 years but saves your *** in that one time use.

Hi all, I scored this like new in original packaging Makita DS4000 for $195. Normally $309. The Rpms on tool and Owners manual state 550 and weight is 10.1 lbs. USA spec is 500rpm and 8.8 lbs. Why different specs for Canada ? https://www.makita.ca/index2new.php?event=tool&id=177 Bought from...

Hi all, I bought a cmt 219.10.80 https://www.cmtorangetools.com/media/userfiles/files/OK_03_60_0325%20ENG%202019_GUIDE_blades_10inches%20(4).pdf for my makita ls1013 sliding miter saw. The70 tooth makita blade that came with saw is a positive 5 degree hook thin kerf. Works well. The Freud 80...

I googled ‘ does Bosch make a cordless ratchet” and found this. I have a bunch of Bosch 10,8/12 volt tools. Always hoped they’d come out with a 12 volt ratchet. In the meantime I use a 1/4 drive ingersol rand and a 1/2 drive aircat. Both pneumatic. I posted cause I never heard of Bosch making...

Well that’s not good. You pay extra for parallel clamps to be parallel.

Yes I thought it was a fluke. I was stupid . My bad. Plus they are/ were well thought of on woodworking forums. I was just putting out there to be aware something went south with jet.

I think what some of the internet genius’s on this forum is missing is that you can buy 3 Besseys to 2 jets. So you are paying a premium price. If it was Bessey revo jrs , who cares. Harbor freigh again who cares. I bought some Festool this fall imho the live up to the hype and back it with a 30...

You weren’t there. I was very nice on the phone. But since we are making assumptions. I guessing your still at home living with mom and dad. Probably on every forum known to man. A internet expert. Gotta love it.

Sure am glad my surgeons and doctors don’t do there jobs half fast like jet. I’d be dead. Tried to warn you guys to be nice. Go ahead and keep buying them. It’s your money. I work very hard for my money to give to a company that’s making substandard products.

I’m going to drop the ultimate comment and get off this forum for awhile. I had colon cancer. I drove a stick shift car to work 50 miles with a chemo pump on. I mowed my own grass 4 days out from colon surgery . Most of you internet toughies would sit in the corner like a little be otch crying...
