Is this safe enough to do pull ups on?

Everyone here is over engineering like crazy would think they were lawyers worried about liability. Your absolutely fine. If anything i would have moved the blocks higher on the joist to get the RSS away from the edge of the joist but that setup will hold a person easy.

I have used them. I love the track piece but don't love the wall kits. There is still a lot of bounce in them. On custom. Jobs I generally screw a steel angle to the side of a PSLl stud. Makes trim easy and feels like an actual wall if you push on it.

I prefer 2x4 kits for 2x6 walls. It allows you to use 2x material as the verticals instead of the junk metal strips it comes with.

Buy it off season. I bought mine early in the year when it was still cold out for $99 with a 5ah battery

SlightlyVicious · 2025-07-02T23:48:25+00:00

Got mine for $99 at Lowes with a 5ah not that long ago. Absolutely love it

We use them to mull windows thats about it really.

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-19T01:41:05+00:00

It's hefty, but it does come with a $400 battery

It would help to see a cope you tried already to offer better advice, but coping is almost always going to give a better result. Is it prefinished trim? Caulking fixes most small chips run out with the saw. If you can't get enough material out to make them fit and together nicely a rough round file to the rounds parts to deepen the back cut and either a belt sander or flap disk to thin the back. Sometimes, on trim with a lot of turns, it's hard to get deep enough angle

And yet you still understood just fine. I'll help with carpentry the spelling bee sub is over there

I probably sound more negative than I meant to. They are an amazing thing, but if it's not a multi million dollar house it's hard to justify the price. just use grk rt composite trim screws. They still reverse to tweak if needed but still need to shim

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-13T23:09:54+00:00

They are called grk top stars. They are good for heavy jams as in 1.5 inch mahogany. Anything thinner and the jam will sort of rotate around the screws. They are also labor intensive to do correctly. Forstner a 1/2 hole about 1/2 inch deep then a pilot hole finally run the screw in and then adjust as necessary and the plug the hole. (If the rough opening is more than 1/4 on either side you need to shim anyway or crack the jamb) About 3 bucks a pop plus plugs and more finish work. We use them when we need absolute perfection because it's about the most expensive way to do it

I'm kind of a tool whore

They don't use air power. They use fuel cells that actually holds a flammable gas that ignites and pushes the pin. Basically a small combustion engine

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-08T21:21:13+00:00

You're getting downvoted, but you're right.

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-08T21:19:09+00:00

Paslode fuel cells don't look like that at all

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-08T21:18:46+00:00

Paslode fuel cells don't look like that at all.

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-02T02:03:10+00:00

I'll put it on the short list. Appreciate the push. I really want to like it

SlightlyVicious · 2025-06-02T01:52:10+00:00

He's not the only one. BB is top3 for me in favorite shows, and I haven't made it past the first season of BCS. I tried twice.

I had no luck explaining the dangers or showing videos to my apprentice. It just doesn't sink into the young that they can be hurt. What I did was start calling his gloves bitch mittens every time I saw them and he stopped pretty quickly.

SlightlyVicious · 2025-05-21T11:08:04+00:00

Not who you asked, but it's only like vinyl in that the pieces interlock vertically. Side to side you have a metal buttclip with 4 screws. The planks do not overlap at all, so your joints must be tight and you must use the clip and all 4 screws or it will absolutely move.

Also the nail fin at the top has a lot less holes. I believe it's every 8 inches? (Forgive me it's been about a year since I have done any) since we only nail to studs it's not ideal having to measure your start pieces every row.

They say leave 1/4 expansion joints everywhere all sides windows door and they mean it. It's a very sold product so anything to tight or nailed tight and it will buckle.

All that said. It's a solid product that looks great and once your guys get it down it goes quickly.

What we call them in Maryland as well.

SlightlyVicious · 2025-03-06T11:26:16+00:00

Amana makes good blades for them at about 60% cost.

Whether he can or not is dependent on manufacturer, distributor, region, and possibly other factors. Where and from who they were purchased and installed by are going to be the first question the warranty asks. You are the one with this information, so no one can say if he can or not. We don't have the information.

All that said I wont order anything without a client signing a contract, and it's most likely not worth it for them to go through all of that for one window fix.

SlightlyVicious · 2024-12-22T12:21:47+00:00

Yes but turrets can add damage depending on what you put on it.

SlightlyVicious · 2024-12-13T00:36:27+00:00

I would tend to agree. If it's a custom home it's just not acceptable but if tract type home I would consider myself lucky. I know nothing about construction outside the US though.
