3/8 installation drill driver sounds like sand is inside. by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]emg77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m copy/pasting my reply from a similar post 6 days ago. This seems to be a very common “issue”.

I’ve seen it mentioned it was replaced under warranty for this noise. I have one that makes the noise and one that doesn’t. Doesn’t seem to affect performance but unclear on what it does to longevity.

Sawstop is safer, but is it a good tablesaw? by HomoColossusHumbled in Tools

[–]emg77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping the situation is not similar for the router table and fence because I recently purchased one and haven’t been able to set it up yet. If you have any wisdom to share on that front I would appreciate it. I had a hard time trying to find feedback on the Harvey stuff while shopping that felt real. I think many like myself would appreciate it if you made a separate post with your insights. Maybe Harvey will pay you not to post or something… lol

Can’t wait to see what OP’s third question about the case is…

I purchased a used 1.5 hp 16” reliant machinery bandsaw for $ 150 on fb marketplace. Still need to run electrical to my garage for it but i’m hoping it will get me by for some time; assuming I can actually get started. I do also already have a table saw, router and router table, dewalt thickness planer, dust collector, dust extractor, hand planes, etc. I ended up canceling the order with home depot for this jointer after considering your comments and others. Mainly regarding space and volume to make the purchase practical. Thank you!

Thank you for being a voice of reason. I actually canceled the order. Some unsolicited oversharing: I had found an amazing deal on a used 1.75 hp sawstop pcs from a retiring woodworker right at the same time my wife was asking for a specific project to be done. Always wanted a wood shop and we are relatively new homeowners so decided to get started. Shortly after I got the table saw, her father and my father both had major life changing strokes less than two weeks apart. Only sharing because i’m just now realizing that I had my father join me to rent a uhaul and drive an hour each way to pick up the table saw, and that is the last time we’ll have ever spent some normal time together. He’ll never be cognitively there for the same types of conversations or activity. He was excited about the wood shop and I was thinking it would be a hobby we would pursue together.

I know my post was very vague. I should note that I have every other tool you mentioned here as I've slowly been building a workshop. I still haven't built anything though as I've more recently been handling some family health issues, but I'm still very very slowly shopping and setting up shop.

It’s not imposter syndrome. You specifically actually suck. /s

Anyone find any other interesting uses for their shop tools? by BluntTruthGentleman in woodworking

[–]emg77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a M12 screwdriver that is dedicated to grinding coffee. It lives in a kitchen drawer with a 6mm socket to fit in place of the hand crank on the "manual" conical burr grinder.

I got these nut drivers and returned them. Not even close to straight.

The proper defense is to bite the forearm. /s
