Well went back unit was bad, gave me brand new model for same price plus a nice pair of miller gloves and a pair of glasses for my trouble. And this thing cuts 1/4 like butter.

Yeah never said it was a good idea but live and learn.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Well got up this morning had dentist app.( never one of my favorite things to do) at 7:30 get there sit down, 3 1/2 hours,three root canals with crowns and one filling later head home. Well thought while mouth was numb i'd get a little work done on the smoker, out to the shop I go. Trimming a few od...

I have cut 1/4 with a 7 1/4 circular saw it does work. BUT you will burn up a cheap saw been there done that. Only sucess I had was with a worm drive saw works ok, if you use abrasive wheels will only get about 48" of cut per blade they go quick.

What is the ideal amount of space between the rf plate and cooking surface? 6inches about right?

Don't waste the money on the evolution, bought one and returned it the next day, very poorly made and the blade is junk. Save you're pennies and get the milwaukee with the lennox blades. It should tell you something when the evolution saw with blade is 89.99, and just a lennox blade is 55.00.

It reminds me of the mini toolbox coin banks.

Long story short inlaws used to own a dumptruck bed manufacturing plant, has had a bunch os various steel laying around for 15 years in the barn, little rusty but will suit my needs just fine.

Thank guys, there are two band saws one is a handheld dewalt, the Horizontal is an older kalamazoo love them both nice clean cuts. Well got a little work done today, burned the tank out(dosen't smell like a dead corpse anymore) and got the doors cut in the tank, also picked up a bunch of 1/4 plate f...

Well i'm like a woman when it comes to the shop. I hate working for 5 minutes and looking for something for 10. It just comes from almost 20 years of clean and organized tools makes the job faster which means more money. The story on the boob plaque is they were a gift for the shop from my other hal...

Probably just going with regular doors. But who knows already changed my mind about 20 times.

Dosen't everybody have a recliner in the shop.

Will try and add more pics in the next days.

Nice bead on the coupler.

Well figured I would share my project. I apologise now I in no way claim to be a photographer or writer. Well will be when finished a RF 500. Here we go. 20 ft boat trailer. http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t445/RDRASH2000/1.jpg 500 Gallon propane tank. http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t445/RD...

X2 on the dewalt brand, also like 3&M but hard to find and expensive.

Did somebody say brewery.

I know all about pissin off the neighbors, I moved in five years ago and every year I tear up something. It's bad when you build a shop in a pretty nice neighbor hood and stay up all hours making noise, or the concrete truck rips you're neighbors sprinkler system out of the groung.

It's been open with all the valves out for about a week. I'm just over by longview lake.
