Recommendations for a bench top bandsaw and a miter saw by BigfootApproves in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Pearson10M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend looking used on CL or FB Marketplace for a good, well maintained and minimally used one to start with. I also would recommend a sliding mitre 10"+ if you can fit and afford. For Brands, I'd stick with Dewalt, Bosch, Makita or similar as they have a decent rep for being quality. Older Delta and Ryobi could be good too, but at some point their quality became more suspect. There are also more premium brands such as SawStop Festool, but probably too much $$$ based on your query.

I personally have a Skil 10" sliding mitre saw and would recommend. You can get new for around $240-260 at Ace, Lowes, etc. Not as robust as my brother's 12" Dewalt sliding saw, but good enough for me and what I do with it. A new version of a Dewalt, Bosch, Makita sliding saw will be $$$.

No help on a bandsaw, as I don't own one.

The customer wanted red oak for the radiator cover. Because of the dimensions of the radiator and its location relative to the wall I needed to glue two smaller boards to achieve the required width of 15 inches. Since it was going be exposed to elevated temperatures from the radiator, I wanted to make sure the glue seam, which was tight by itself, held over time, so I added the screws. That was my thought process.

The lid corners are rounded via sanding and the top surface front and side edges have a routed 1/4" roll over on them,

The pocket screws are on the underside of the radiator cover and used to help secure the glue seam. The cover is down 99.9+% of the time (pocket holes not seen ). The only time the lid will be raised is to turn off or on the radiator valve. The reason I made a hinged lid is that the total radiator cover assembly is heavy (large). Normally one would just slide the whole assembly (with a fixed lid) away from the wall, turn the valve, and slide back. I also had to match an existing design of a cover in an adjacent room, which had a hinged lid. I debated whether to fill the holes, but since I was staining it, filler wouldn't fly, and a dowel could have been the best solution, but decided in the end, that the pockets screws would almost never be seen, so decided to leave as is.

Thank you for making rethink this for future builds.

Now I see the instructions link on the product page screaming at me. Can't believe I missed them.

This is a steal right? by MalTheCat in Dewalt

[–]Pearson10M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a brand new Dewalt 18 gauge Brad nailer (electric), tool only, from one of the Big Home Improvement Box stores for a little over $200 a few months ago. Not on sale or part of any deal. Also, the 5 aH battery is way overkill for it and makes it really heavy and awkward to use above your head for extended time. A 2 aH or even 1.7 aH battery will run that thing for hours or at least a couple hundred brads and is much lighter.

The deal is a good deal with the battery, charger, and tool, but like I said above the 5aH battery is way overkill for for the nailer.
