I picked up a refurb B&D dragster belt sander at a sale the other day

32 cupboard doors, 16 drawers later, it still works fine...


Similar to what someone said on this thread, if you dont know how to use tools, obviously they will break.

Most of my cutting and assembly that is done with power tools, is done with what I would call entry level/home grade/ light/medium duty tools, (B&D, Ryobi, Master Mechanic), and I have yet to burn a winding or damage guide bearings. Except heat guns (gone thru about 2 of those already).

Take care of your tools, and use them in the manner they were built and they will last for awhile

e.g. dont use a entry level skill saw to rip 2x4 pitch pine etc etc.
e.g. buy better quality bits, blades etc.
e.g. match the blade/bit to the material you are working on
e.g. dont force the tool against the job. Let the bit/blade do the hard work
e.g. dont hold your power tools by the cord, regardless of the brand
e.g. always clean your power tools, if you have a blower, blow out the dust from inside the vents to keep the windings clear
e.g. with drills, dont try to get the biggest hole at once, use a few bits
e.g. listen to the rpm's of the motor, its natural for them to drop off with load, remember, as the rpm's drop, so does the cooling ability of the tool, as the blower is mounted on the same shaft as is the bit/blade.

If I think of anymore tips, i'll add them.

Well i bought an Irwin 40T blade, i was reading those good enough for MDF right?...the dude at Bhags recommended 40T also.

I tried out the stock 18T blade and it cuttin real clean

What depth should i set the saw at?

Also Rovin, can you tell me which hardware you bought MDF and cut the MDF for you, or let you cut it yourself.

The place on CSR was like no sorry we busy Confused

Yeh man i used it for a good while yesterday to cut up some board.

The stock 18T blade cuts suprisingly easy and clean...was just testing it

Then i put in the Irwin 40T, and damnnn Shocked ...no effort at all...you just have to guide the saw.

The saw is pretty decent, i never had a circular saw so i can't compare it to anything...

It's about 10lbs i believe, it's quite sturdy and doesn't vibrate.

It's more quiet than my jigsaw Neutral

The laser is useless really, unless you wan't to use it to double check to see if your lines are straight, but you'll really only see this laser at night or in a darkish room. And if you wanna annoy your neighbours at night, put the laser on and flash it at their house, the laser is SWEET and shoots a beam up to 50ft Shocked

Other than that i'm happy with it, it did what i wanted it to do and was accurate.

One gripe though, changing the blade is a pain as it doesn't have a lock for the blade, so u have to rest the blade onto a piece of wood to ensure it doesn't turn while you spin the knot holding it.

But it's a good buy @ $500

I need a new jigsaw blade, the blade i bought took a LONG time to cut a 12" circle Confused

Whipped out the porter cable orbital sander and rounded the edges so it won't tear the carpet - no i don't have a router so i used a sander.

Click for full-size.

I installed the ports after i carpetted, hence i got contact cement onto the carpet which looks messy, any idea how to get it off?

I might sell this box as it's tooo huge, can't fit a cooler Crying or Very sad
