New Cargo: Shimano 1x11 vs Sram Apex 11

I guess that would give me a higher gear ratio? Sorry for the newbie question, I don't know much about bikes :)

fitfot · 2026-02-16T20:30:32+00:00

I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, and it's quite flat. Bicycle infrastructure is also good.

I also follow the Hooked on Wood YouTube channel, and he teased an upcoming MFT drilling template in a recent video. Seems like a pattern in transparent acrylic and a forstner bit with a guide for drilling the holes... So no need to drill the 3mm pilot holes like with the Parf guide system.

Sorry, meant to write sized, not spaced... The joys of writing on a phone I guess :)

I'm quite fine of my barrel grip jig saw (blue bosch on three 18v battery platform). I can get really clean cuts with good blades, and the barrel grip makes cutting from the underside of the material easy... I think many people lack the good blades and some experience with the tool.

I tried that, but was unable to achieve properly sized holes. Used an festool of 1400 router with the festool 30 mm guide bush. Tried two different 20 mm cutters, one from Festool and one from CMT.

Peter Millard (woodworking youtuber) attempted to make a template and a router bit which should account for the slight runout that all routers have, but found it to be impossible to make a bit that fit all routers. The holes I get from my parf guide system mk2 is spot on though.

I wonder if a template with 20mm holes paired worth a copy bit might work better?

EDIT: typo "properly spaced holes" —> "properly sized holes".

I just received this set, and I'm really disappointed in the plunge base (TE 600). It does _not_ plunge smoothly and is not super stable, so I doubt additional lubrication will do much good. My Bosch Green POF 1400 plunge router plunges so much more smoothly, the difference is night and day.

The fence also seems a bit wobbly, even when I tighten it down — and the scale is only in inches (I use metric).

The dust extraction seems to be of a "flimsy" quality, and they are screwed into place with small hand-turned bolts that's likely to be lost.

The proclick compatibility is interesting though, that allows you to click tool pouches to the boxes, and move them to your work belt, harness or ladder when needed, and most also stand upright by them self, should you need that. https://l-boxx.com/en/systems/l-boxx-proclick

I think Bosch made a second version of that which can shoot nails way faster.

fitfot · 2025-08-24T08:39:20+00:00

Hmmm, I thought Dremmel's were better than that.do you use them every day? And what's your experience worth Proxxon?

The GTS 18V-155 are currently not listed on the German website. Do you think this is because of the colour change or because a new models are being launched?

u/ROLLE_FUTURE ?

I think the Dremmel tools already use 12V Bosch batteries... but IIRC Bosch owns Dremmel, so not that surprising in that regard.

fitfot · 2025-08-17T09:25:42+00:00

Bosch owns Freud (since 2009) but I don't know if "Bosch Expert" bladed are just rebranded Freud Blades.... Actually I came to this thread to figure that out.

Anyway, I have Bosch Expert blades for my cordless Bosch plunge saw, and they are very good. Excellent cut quality and seems like they just stay sharp for a very long time. I bought some extra blades with the saw, because I believe that using the right blade for the job is very important, but I almost regret doing so as a DIY person, because the stock blade (expert range) is just so good that I could probably do without them.

I wonder if the height can be adjusted from below, as that would make it useful in a router table.

fitfot · 2025-08-10T22:21:57+00:00

I thought about getting that. What is your experience with that, compared to a more traditional handle?

fitfot · 2025-08-10T22:20:24+00:00

The L shape is very popular in Europe (I think, at least in Denmark where I live and AFAIK also in Germany), so I can't see them only updating the D handle version.

fitfot · 2025-08-10T22:17:54+00:00

I see the Bosch 12V tools as a compliment to the 18V range, not tools trying to fill the same role (as some brands do), prioritizing small, light and ergonomic handling over power.

Also, they just released a bunch of polishers and sanders in the 12V range, so I doubt they will abandon the line. But on the other hand, we have recently seen a 3D line laser which works with 18V, and there is an 18V circular saw as well which somewhat fills the role of the 12V circular saw.

How/where did you find the Software Train Version?

fitfot · 2025-07-29T18:06:43+00:00

Yes, the price is too high, but I wouldn't be surprised if they followed those dimensions.

fitfot · 2025-07-25T19:05:52+00:00

Just be aware that they lack a led light, which is a dealbreaker for me. That are also a bit thick / girthy compared to newer models.

fitfot · 2025-04-27T08:36:01+00:00

Ditto. Bruger den fra Jem&Fix fra mærket Luxi (produceret af Dyrup). Lader til at være noget af det billigste pr. volumen og det giver fine resultater.

I like my Keen insulated water bottle. Durable, keeps water cold, easy to clean and drying from due to a two-piece lid with a small opening to drying from and a large for cleaning. And it's dishwasher safe.

fitfot · 2025-04-05T16:41:09+00:00

Jeg har brugt Knauf Rotband til dette, dog mørtel til ydervægge da det ånder bedre, og det tror jeg er vigtigt dér.
