Pretty much a one tooth hole saw which is a perfect design, unfortunately they do not make 1 tooth saws in 6". Is it a must to use that with a drill press or can it be used with a standard hand held drill, if one is slow and careful?

Well problem number one as I said was the hole saw is not a wood blade, second (and I'm too lazy to do the math) I believe the amount of material being cut by the hole saw's cutting edge is significantly greater than the amount being cut by the cutting edge of a roto zip.

Looking for a very nice edge, so quality does count. I do not own a router and have little use for one outside of this purpose so I was thinking of a Roto Zip b/c I may have other uses for it. I would imagine Roto Zip has a jig to cut perfect circles?

Looking to cut 6" diameter holes (or larger) in wood (.5" to .75" thick), what is the best tool for the job? I have a 6" hole saw but it is not a blade specifically for wood so it takes a long time to cut with. Roto Zip or Dremel type tools best for such a cut?

Thx, gave a quick peak on the first 3 pages here and didn't see much, and assumed the search function here was like most sites, IOW horrible. But it led me to plenty of threads. Again thx.

Finally have a garage built and have always been interested in a sharp, finished storage system from the get go. Gladiator Garageworks has caught my eye many times. Opinions on there product(s)? Are there similar products out there, I'm not seeing many. From what I can tell with the...

Well after roughly 90 days of headaches and such I have a legit pad poured. Curbs knocked off, poured right over old pad, all existing issues resolved. Now I can build and take the original contractor to court. I can probably park a few tanks on this thing and never have a problem.

You have no idea how tempting that is, best post yet!

Paid a little up front, the project needed amending as it progressed so I paid a little more as it went on, guy has a significant portion of the money unfortunately. Thing that ***** is other referrals from friends were guys that were way too busy b/c of how wet NEO is this year. Guy that is...

Just FTR I accept some responsibility on getting burned. I didn't do much research, let my guard down a bit due to the friend of a friend referral (had to much inherent trust). So overpaying for something is a price I am willing to pay, if at least the end result is at least reasonably quality...

Quick update on the situation/solution. Turns out this clown is a real piece of work, typical clown with no assets and an extremely low probability of collecting if I got a legal judgement in my favor (which is an almost certainty in talking with my lawyer). Dude has enough of a criminal...

Permit is in my name, as I'v been told by inspector that prevents him from being screwed with by city. Funny he was very excited and pushy on me getting permit once I mentioned it to him, I unfortunately didn't know why he would be so for that....now I suspect I know why.

You're right and I am all over some of your suggestions, independent engineers coming out to take a look, already have opinions from other reputable concrete guys..they can barely stand here and look at this, it makes their eyes hurt. I should probably be quiet the dude might be on these...

Here is the big catch, the code for curbs is 4" minimum, the plans given to city to obtain permit had 4" curb requirements, no where on the entire pad do the curbs measure out to 4", the variances are from 3.387 to 3.8 at most. Technically not able to build according to code, then add the...

Here are some pics of this pad: stone shadows as I mentioned curbs, notice falling curb, then the awful job of finishing them

To be accurate here my carpenter is the one with 20 years exp. telling me the concrete guy is a hack. No idea how long the concrete guy has been in biz. ETA: again my biggest concern with the bolts now needing to be drilled in is that they will blow out the very narrow curb.

I'm talking about the grade consistency. The pad looks very square, it was the most square forming job a few of my experienced friends ever saw in their words. But running the string on the ground front of pad to rear (on both L&R sides) there were noticeable gaps, same when running string...

No covering at all, hand troweled everything. I asked if I should hose it down and he said it isn't necessary, I've read quite the opposite the past few days (so I'm torn there). I'm mostly going by the opinion of my carpenter, since he has 20 years experience of working on fresh pads while...

Northeast Ohio. Didn't see this forum until now, already created a thread in the general discussion looking for advice (think I might have been screwed on a pad pour). If the garage ends up getting built I hope to learn some great tips from this place.
