If you are looking for a miter saw that is good for both DIY'er and Professional alike, you might want to check out this hot deal on the DeWalt DW716 12-Inch miter saw. Amazon has a new low price of $327.99 on the saw, and it is the lowest I have seen this saw for.
DeWalt is introducing a cool little adaptor that will let users turn any radio with an AUX input into a Bluetooth compatible radio that can be used with a Bluetooth enabled phone or media player. The DCR002 Bluetooth Radio Adaptor allows users to keep their media device safely in their pockets, and stream the music directly to the radio.
If you are subscribed to the HomeDepot PRO newsletter you are probably used to them sending you a lot a mail with hardly any value in them; but every once in a great while they have a coupon or sale in them that makes it all worth it. Yesterday's email was one of the rare gems, announcing an online sale on select Milwaukee Tools, Ridgid tools, Pnuematic compressors and nailers, and more.
And this isn't just a regular sale, the saving on some of the items is big. An 18-Volt Milwaukee Hammer Drill/Driver, for example, is a good $70 less than other online stores. So if you are looking to score some deals on some tools , but hurry, the sale ends on May 21 2014.
Makita has come out with a new 10-inch sliding compound miter saw (model LS1018) designed to meet the needs of finish carpenters, flooring installers, and other trades who require both accuracy and portability. Weighing in at only 43.7 lbs, they have portability covered, but what about accuracy?
I have always looked at the Festool MFT (Multi-Function Table) as great little work table, but not practical for jobsite use. I just never liked the idea of having to carry it around on the jobsite along with all of my other tools. But Timothy Wilmots' modified MFTC (Multi-Function Tool Cart) looks like an ideal way to transport both the MFT and your tools.
We have seen a couple of combination miter/table saws now enjoying freedom in the U.K., one from Bosch with a table mounted on top of a miter saw, and one from Makita that flips to transform. Now it is DeWalt's turn to join in on the fun with their very own flipping combination transformation miter/table saw.
All to often I see news reports about tools that are stolen from a jobsite. These tools are required for a person in construction to do his or her job, and a loss of tools can be very damaging. Below I have put together a list of tips – some obvious, some not – on how you can prevent tool theft and how you can recover stolen tools.
We have seen circular saws used as table saw replacements with the Eurekazone tracksaw system, and now there is a new system from PUPS (Portable Universal Power Station) that can turn a circular saw to an accurate miter saw.
