A couple of years ago, I bought a cheap Harbor Freight 1/2" heavy duty low speed drill on sale. It has a torque tube that screws into the side so it doesn't break your wrist if you hit rebar when drilling concrete. I'd never buy a tool like that to use as a tool. I bought it to gut the moto

It was painful to read, but a good caveat emptor lesson. Thanks. I've had good luck with Amazon. They have a DeWalt DW872 14" multi-cutter saw that I put in my shopping cart but haven't actually purchased yet. No place to put it in my cramped shop so I guess I'm waiting on a project that nee

Greetings all; I don't recall if I mentioned buying a Kawasaki 14" cutoff saw from TSC or not. But I did, something over a year ago when I was cutting bits off the end of a 1x2" bar of TSC steel to make the nut holders for the balls screws I put in my toy mill. It ran a little slow for a 14"
