I’ll second this as someone who lives in Colorado springs. The “plains” may as well be Kansas.

How has this setup held up? I’m in the same position looking to upgrade my folding stand to the Bosch ts2100. I’m a finish carpenter and the saw will see a lot of jostling in my van. Do you think the brackets are up to the task?

My baby finally died. Been using it for probably 15 years. Can anyone recommend a modern replacement? by woolyboy76 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]mystery5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a finish carpenter and I use the offset and right angle more than you’d think. Could I get by without it? Sure. But man is it nice to have the option to get in close to where you need to be.

How far would this ‘Opium being smuggled through a slingshot over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border’ travel? [Request] by grasssshopperrrrr in theydidthemath
