I know I haven't been posting much (too busy working to keep the house).
I have the makita 10.8 pair and today I was driving a screw in and it stopped spinning. The thing seems to have stripped the clutch as it will spin when I pull the trigger but stop as soon as I grab the chuck the schuck...
I have a ryobi bt3000 which has been a very good saw and while I'd love to be able to upgrade, I can't afford to right now.
One thing that I have a love/hate relationship with is the sliding mitre table so as part of building a cabinet for the saw and extending the rails, I'm making some...
I need to make some jigs for my wife (well one for her and hopefully sell the others) It's a bit like a cribbage board with with nails at 2 different heights for wrapping metal wire around to "knit" the wire. The nails are at 1/4" o.c in 2 staggered rows like

I have the 10.8v pair of makita's with the 1/4 hex quick release chuck and I noticed that some dewalt 1/4 drive bits I have wouldn't fit.
The other day I was using it with a drill/countersink bit and now I can't get the bit out.
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to get the bit out as...
I live in a 50's rancher. It's the typical sort of thing ie brick veneer, no insulation, aluminium windows and a hvac system from the 70's at a guess.
I know the hvac system is getting close to needing a replacement but right now it's band aids at the ready as I don't have 4k+ spare. The ac...
I did search a couple of times before this post but "sap" falls into the 3 letter word category and is skipped by the search....grrr.
I finally have a project that is decent enough to post here (a arbour for the MIL). She wanted a white paint finish so all ideas of nice joinery went out the...
I found one of these on CL fairly close to me for $100. Looking at the photos it looks like it's fairly old as the grizz logo is different.
Anyone here have any experience with it or know where I could find out more info. I'm tempted to go get it and sell off my bt3k.
I have one of the hitachi cb13f bandsaws.
One day while trying to clean up the mess in my "shop" I needed to move it. I had it mounted on a 1/2 sheet of mdf attached to a old bt3000 saw stand. What I forgot was I had taken the bolts out because I was going to re do the mounting. Sod's law came...
This has been a very tough year so far financially so I'm now faced with some very tough choices. I need to get money in asap or risk losing our house. I'd rather not have to do this but tough times demand tough choices.

I might get one at some point. Be really nice to use for building architectural models.
I've had a inquiry form a customer in Toronto about buying one of my shed units.
I'm more than happy to deliver and install it but I was wondering about going through customs and if duty would have to be paid? I guess this might be a bit of a grey area.
Thanks,

IIRC Stu posted a link about this saw a while ago.
I was looking at the UK DeWalt website and they have 2 cordless versions and a corded one. The rail system is also supposed to accept their router.
I just emailed DeWalt over here and they said that due to OSHA they didn't think it would be...
I'm looking to have some 16-18ga aluminium logo's cut to fix onto my products (approx 1.5W X 2.25 H. I could cut the things out myself if I had the money for a scroll saw and the patience.
Does anyone here have a engraver or know anyone who could do this at a decent price? I'm looking to get a...
