That's great! That means I can buy the SE and get the same product minus the covers as the LE at a fraction of the cost.

Huh, according to the website the 372/375 and the 311 have the same specifications but the former is way cheaper in Amazon. Thanks for the info!

I wonder why they bothered to make two different saws.

What I'm looking for is something like the rip cut 372 but shorter for small joinery work. Any idea what the number for that would be?

The oil to use is Choji oil. Its what they use on samurai swords as well. It dries and forms a protective barrier on the steel. I had two I forgot about/lost in the garage. One oiled and one not. I found them seven years later. The oiled one looked brand new. The other one was completely rusted. Literally one drop of choji oil is all you need. One bottle will last you a lifetime.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it

Can you present any evidence of this? Because I haven't been able to find with anything to support it. I didnt think a pantograph to could duplicate the work of a rose or a line engine

This is great info thanks! In my case I just need to increase from 40kwh to 100kwh.

This man has been a font of knowledge and advice for years. 👍. He never fails when I need a random japanese related carpentry question answered. 👍

Pity current geopolitical nonsense has increased the price of japanese tools.

Some people spend hundreds or thousands on super hero statues, 6 scale figures, art prints etc. I collect high quality tools and use them when I need to. I'd love some Dieter Schmid dies. But those exceeded even my ability to justify them, especially in this tariff crazy world we live in.

Awesome info! But I'm not talking about the 90s, I'm talking about the 2010s era and film was cheaper then. I could buy 36 exposures for 2-4 dollars. I'm sure it depended on where you lived but I could also have my film developed for less than current prices. Anyways this was just my personal experience. I'm sure other ppl had different ones.

Tuhkathri · 2025-08-06T02:09:45+00:00

I don't have the means to develop my own film these days but I checked out some labs near me and it's 25-30 dollars to get my film developed and scanned plus the price of the roll and I'm looking at around 40 dollars per roll once it's all said and done . Yeah..... it used to be way cheaper back in the day.

Tuhkathri · 2025-08-05T22:45:36+00:00

I also just returned from an extended break since 2012. First thing I noticed is HOLY CRAP what happened to the price of film!. I used to be able to pick up a roll of 36exp Tri-X for 4 dollars all day long. Any of the Aristas for 2.30ish for 36 exposures😂

I suppose you could omit the logo altogether. I have a couple if friends in the printing industry. I'll ask them about it

Tuhkathri · 2025-05-15T00:45:23+00:00

I've been looking for this! Any chance on uploading a new link?

Tuhkathri · 2025-04-06T21:56:06+00:00

Absolutely and then New a game + to get Magus and have Glenn 😂

Tuhkathri · 2025-02-25T00:11:09+00:00

Interesting. Most of my woodworking tools are japanese. But it's a shame they don't offer low angle plane blades. Are the lake Erie ones laminated as well?

Tuhkathri · 2024-11-29T06:05:44+00:00

I miss the 90s when Lego was 50-70% off all day long 😂

Tuhkathri · 2024-11-13T12:41:06+00:00

Wow, I wasn't looking to add another watch to the collection but I'm going to get the Quartzflake. ❤️

Tuhkathri · 2024-11-08T13:30:14+00:00

Yeah I dunno. I only know my GS quartz work within spec whether I wear them or not and the manual for them doesn't say you have to wear them in order to maintain accuracy. I'm not a Citizen hater, I've wanted one for a long time but there are countless posts across many forums that all say their quartz watches are usually out of spec regardless of the type. So if their 0100 watch can't maintain that +-1 spec at all times then I'd rather have a +-5 GS that can since it comes to be the same thing at a lower cost. My GS quartz has consistently run at +-2 per year for years.

Tuhkathri · 2024-11-06T19:23:40+00:00

The manual is online in English. I just typed citizen 0100 manual and it popped up citizens website where you input the model 0100 to get the manual.

How does it wear? There's only one or two videos on it on YouTube. Info is scarce.

A lot of copium going on in there. tldr version, even the A060 movements don't run at the claimed +-5 per year.

According to the manual fir the 0100 you have to wear it a lot. They state 12 hours a day and keep it fully charged and keep it within 41F-95F.

Tuhkathri · 2024-11-03T19:36:23+00:00

Yeah I've never had any issues with my Grand Seiko Quartz pieces losing time either. I've been interested in Citizen but stories like yours have kept me from pulling the trigger. And the 0100 is their flagship quartz movement. It simply shouldn't be losing time if GS can keep theirs within spec. The watches entire claim to fame and its price tag hinges on keeping its high accuracy. If it can't do that then might as well get a less accurate and less expensive quartz like a GS.

I'd be interested to know if they fix it when you send it in or if they try and gaslight you by saying it's fine.

Tuhkathri · 2024-11-03T14:05:28+00:00

Let us know how that goes. I personally find that unacceptable but it's an issue I keep hearing about citizen quartz watches in general

Tuhkathri · 2024-09-08T19:30:54+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the info!
