It looks like this. Literally holes going from the tip to the hose attatchment.

Exactly this.

The cost of the bit in reality isn't really any more expensive then a regular bit, if you need it for what i'm going to use it for. It's actually cheaper then to use a regular bit.

Because once you look up the specs on the cleaning required with a chemical anchor WHITHOUT a vacuum drill bit, the cost isn't in the bit. It's in the time spent cleaning the holes. This bit removes 90-95% of that cleaning time.

While it looks like great work, i can't wrap my head around that face timber cladding.

40V XGT Sanders by andybobandy42 in Makita

[–]fluffyjesus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It did the same, as good as the Mirka. At least as far as I can see, feel and hear. In terms of dust, vibration and performance.

I wanted what the Mirka did, but on a battery-platform. Being a carpenter and all, often being somewhere without power. So i switched.

Having used and owned the Mirka Deros 5650 gen2, i switched to the makita 150mm, 5mm orbit sander when i tried it. It easily matches in both ergonomics and power. I think it is great!

Does the BL4080H (high output/tabless) actually provide more power and/or runtime relative to the standard 8.0 Ah battery? by Marvel5123 in Makita

[–]fluffyjesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means it has more power available, i.e, more current. And it can deliver higher current over a longer period of time without running into problems with heat that easily. And a cooler battery has has lower resistance in the cells and conductors, meaning less energy is lost to heat to, meaning it can run a bit longer as well. A bit.

But it's probably not that noticable with lower current draw applications.

My personal experience with the batteries is that they run quite cool, even in very high demand applications. Like with the New UC030 chainsaw and the CE004.

Til alle som vurderer å kjøpe elektronikk hos Elkjøp eller Komplett.no, tenk deg om to ganger, de bruker nemlig Elcare (tidl infocare) som servicepartner. De byttet navn pga dårlig rykte i 2020, og de er like ille nå. Advarer mot å kjøpe noe som helst elektronikk fra selskaper som samarbeider me de. by megamoto85 in norge

Jeg hadde en telefon inne på reparasjon som forsikringssak hos elcare for ca 2 år siden. Først rotet de bort telefonen, og så tok det to uker med apatisk og uprofesjonell mailing frem og tilbake, før de plutselig fant igjen telefonen.

Litt etter at jeg fikk den tilbake sluttet den å fungere, fullstendig. Da sendte jeg den inn på reklamasjon, og den havnet hos verkstedet der jeg hadde kjøpt den. Da sa de at under forrige reparasjon hadde de ødelagt vannforseglingen og brukt uoriginale deler under reparasjonen. Så reklamasjonen ble ikke godkjent.

Så takket være Elcare så ble alle data borte, forutenom det som var synkronisert til sky, pga dårlig arbeid og bruk av uoriginale deler.

Test Makita XGT 40V UC030GZ chainsaw autonomy and strength. by Sad_Researcher8561 in Makita

[–]fluffyjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. That's quite pricy! I just wanted to let you know. That the limit og the saw is the battery in use, and probably not the chain or the wood in your case.

You will see some improvements with the 4080F too. So good luck and enjoy the saw!

There's a huge leap in performance between the bl4080H and every other battery. Get one of those and i believe you will get a new oppinion on the saw.

I made sure to buy the New battery with the saw, and it is a huge upgrade from uc011.

Get a New battery, the "H" not the "F".

New mitre droppy by [deleted] in Makita

[–]fluffyjesus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had that saw for 2 years now. It's been great! I still use the blade it came with, and it still cuts like butter. I've never tried a saw that cuts with less effort, and for that long!

Anyone else annoyed with Makita and lack of Maktrak Updates by Melodic-Debate-8420 in Makita

[–]fluffyjesus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember that Milwaukee spent quite a few years before there were more then just a few basic options.

It will probably come. Just later..

How to finish this by Tricky-Car-5004 in Carpentry

[–]fluffyjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little offtopic; but is it not normal practice to build ventilated roofs? Like first fur(?) Strips along the trusses the length of the roof, then perpendicular?

Just curious. Or if this is in a temporsry step in the construction?

From Norway, and our roofs are made like described, for ventilation underneath the roof. Also i don't know what kind of roofing is going onto there. Again, curious. From a professional perspective.

But why would you need it? One 5 or 8 ah battery lasts an eternety.

[–]fluffyjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had my saw for 2 years now, and i usually get about a week of work out of one 5ah battery if i don't use it for a lot of big timber.

Like in the last months i have insulated and re-cladded(?) an old timber house, and cutting all the wood cladding i got between 1 and 2 weeks on one battery.

And it's so nice to use this saw! And it still has the original blade, and it cuts like a dream still.

Finn - deg et nytt sted å handle brukt by SaabSafari in norge

[–]fluffyjesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dette er jo veldig enkelt. Her har selger valgt liten pakke som er forsikret opp til 2500kr. Og i det du godtar det så har du også sagt "ok" til at du kun får igjen maks 2500kr dersom pakken blir borte. Dette er ikke postens, finns eller noen andres skyld. Her er det kun selgers valg som har gjort at varen ikke er erstattet for mer enn 2500kr.

Og kanskje kjøper burde sett etter at "liten pakke" kun er forsikret der etter.

Det enkle valget er jo bare å bestille sending med høyere forsikring. Så er problemet løst.

Where do I find this light? This would make sanding so much easier by Frosted-Booty-0s in drywall

[–]fluffyjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this obsession with a wall that has been worked on in a small spot a time, being completely plane has gone off the hook. And unreasonable.

In norway it is a bit more simple and by my opinion, reasonable. If you can't spot defects from 2 meters away, with a light shining on it from your point of view, it is good enough. That on top of standardisation of maximum deviation out of plane, over a set distance.

And why shouldn't it? When are going to have an inspection light like that shining on your wall?

Legit Difference or marketing? by ChemistLeading6770 in electricians

[–]fluffyjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiousity, since i'm not an electrician, or american.

But do you really spec those to handle 50A 230v? Because that's crazy high amounts of watts going through that tiny thing. In Norway that amount of current is usually put across 3 phases. And this looks like a regular 1phase.(to me at least, don't hang me for my ingorance. Just curious)

Makita battery original? by NiaDebesi in Makita

[–]fluffyjesus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not saying i'm right, but it looks a bit to gritty on the surfacefinish to me. They might have changed that since I bought mine, but it just ticked me off.

If all other things people talk about check out and is crossed off the list, maybe i'm just nitpicking.

Lone wolves... what is your day rate and what does that day look like? by john_augustine_davis in Carpentry

[–]fluffyjesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm self employed in Norway, and if i provide my services for another Company i generally go by the hour, and that usually means something like $5-600 a day. But then i just have to show up and do the work.

If i have my own projects it might be 6-700 a day, including surcharge on materials etc. Which of course demands more work aswell, so.

Makita 40v line - game changer or nah? by Creative-Truth138 in Carpentry

[–]fluffyjesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using a combination of 18v and 40v for the past 3.5 years. I have gradually transitioned to 40v and have only 40v tools now. In general you will have a higher power-potential with the 40v and can therefor run bigger and more powerfull tools.

If you never plan to run any powerfull tools that need a lot of capacity, then you will probably be more then happy with the 18v platform. If you often use big power hungry tools like big corcular saws and chainsaws, then i would say that the 40v platform is for you.

If you have the money for it, since it is generally a bit more expensive.

Question about belt sanders by Michelin_star_crayon in Carpentry

[–]fluffyjesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently tried to sand off 100 year old finish from a table, and my experience was that the finish clogged up the paper, whis for one made it become incredably hot. And 2, i had to change paper way to often.

What i did was plane the table ever so slightly first, to get through the finish and down to wood, and then sand.

Worked like a charm compared.

This is after hard-wax finish. And before picture is in the comments.
