Y do you capping sides first
Just for comparison and no disrespect, I purchased a Harbor Freight Bauer CORDED saw just like this. It works great and I'm really putting it to the test. I prefer corded tools to get the constant full power. I noticed most people in videos are not using battery tools in remote places. I guess wrapping up an extension cord has become too much of a hassle.
Your right ! I’d say 75% of the time it wouldn’t be a hassle but it in on a roof or a jobsite with one temp outlet on each floor . I also view it as a business owner where time and efficiency is money it certainly adds up when all your tools are cordless not having to drag a cord around , plug and unplug stuff when you have lots of tools out. When I was an employee getting paid by the hour most of my tools were corded .
Dewalkiiii!!!
Ok i have the 7 1/4 side wider dewaltand this saw my boss has side winder and worm driven Milwaukee. Any body just staring out u cant find a more accurate saw the farther away u get from the blade more accurate u will be
I agree it is very easy to hold true to a line with this saw
Great idea. Even better, the Bosch ts1004 dust collection bag fits the dewalt saw perfectly and it’s less than $18 on Amazon. Real easy to take on and off. Collects a lot of dust making clean up a lot easier. Just have to remember to empty it one in a while.
I do own one they are awesome . Maybe I’ll have to do a tablesaw hack #2 lol
Nice work! I was wondering if there’s a way to miter the sides instead of the bottom? It seems like water would be less likely get in if the sides overlap the bottom.
Yah totally ! Someone else commented that and yah it would be much better if I mitered the legs
Very nice setup. Not fancy smancy but well organized. I work out of a Ranger with a camper shell and I carry a Kwick Kan and contractor trash bags. Saves quite a bit of space in my truck. I really like the little Dewalt miter saw that you have. It takes care of 90% of the jobs I do. Can even cut tall baseboards if I only have a few cuts to make.
I was bummed when Milwaukee released this one because I had just purchased the Bosch 12v planer a few months before. I’m really happy with the Bosch but I already have a boat load m12 batteries. Plus the Milwaukee has more power. Like you I bought a Makita corded planer decades ago and have only used it a few times but I find that the mini planer is so easy to control and use that I find myself using it for a lot of things.
It’s amazing when a tool comes along and it totally changes your process for certain tasks
Great idea. I’m always knocking my tools off the stand. I like the built in material support.
Thanks 👍
Nice little compressor. I wish they made them that quiet when I was a trim carpenter 30 years ago. I have the 3 gallon 1.5 hp version which is almost as quiet at 60db. Real easy to have a normal conversation while standing right next to it. It keeps up well and has a fast recovery. Works really well for drywall repairs too.
great review! can you use other blades to cut metal?
I haven’t seen any blades for cutting metal
Thank you! Very informative.
I bought one of these 9 months ago and it suddenly stopped today during very light duty. I bought it for very use indoors for home use, in my climate controlled garage. I have even had a bit of buyer’s remorse, thinking that this was overkill for my minor uses. I could probably count in my fingers the number of times I’ve connected the hose to use it. I have used it for occasional brad nailing (only used once to test that ability and works great) and blowing dust out of little projects. I used it today in the kitchen to blow dust/fuzz under the fridge radiator fins to dislodge so that the vacuum cleaner could pull it out. I connected it back up in the garage and suddenly it won’t turn on at all. Any thoughts? I could not find any kind of reset on it. Next step (horror!) is to try to dig up the manual for it.
I just had this happen to me actually and I think there is a sensor in it to prevent it from over heating . I thought it was done for I tried it a few days later and it fired back up .
Very good idea my friend
Thanks man!
Better to pre-assemble……glue needs more pressure that what you’ve got
nice!
Basically an expensive bevel square. A speed square does the same job for $12.
How do you get the miter cut of an outside corner with a speed square?
Great video ; wish it was longer? I use that exact tool to scribe in my stools and I have protractor made by I think “ 1491 Tools “ don’t quote me on that? It give cosine cut off angles, all my degrees for cutting crown on the flat it a great tool for I think $40. I always look for those great tools under a $100 . I found a Starrett marking punch for metal or wood on sale $40 ? I bet I hv marked a thousand holes for pre drill with it & it fits right in my tool belt perfectly!
I had a whole lot more footage but my sound was all messed up so I had to edit a lot of my talking out . Yah I love a good unique hand tool that you find a specific use for!
Good stuff….like to see it used on crown molding
The next time I do some crown I’ll have to show how it come into play !
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Starrett was recently sold to a private equity firm. Their quality is about to plummet as their financial engineers milk this company into the ground.
Well guess im better off to buy a 12” combo square before they sell a 12” combo wonkle
Wow that’s unfortunate I don’t have any other tools by them but I know there quality was always top notch they were always known for having the best combination squares.
@@kinfolk_carpentry I have my dad’s combo 12” square ! It’s so worn (he was a home builder in the 60’s thru the 90’s . I can not even find the name ? But compared to my 6” Starrett it’s an exact match even the “Made in the USA”! I am guessing it’s 50 plus yrs old?
Looks good.
Nice
Great tip letting the miter joints set and nailing off the rest of the molding afterwards
Definitely stealing this!
Yah buddy !
I got mine for years! I love it, but I find it kind of slow sometimes. Also I have a 24v 7 1/4 sliding dual bevel Kobalt and it is awesome! The cut capacity is much longer than the Dewalt. But the saw is a little bit bigger. Do you also find that your miter saw loses a little power with some cuts?
I thinks some of the power loss might depend on what battery your using I do find in some materials it may be underpowered a bit but i think having a flex volt battery in it helps
@@kinfolk_carpentry Not really! I use mine with an 8ah battery and the result is the same. 😟
I’ve always felt that this dewalt 7 1/4” mitre saw needs an upgrade
All trim guys have “their way”. I like this method. Thanks for sharing!!
Does anyone has use this for melamine? Laminated MDF?
I don’t think I would use this for melamine it would certainly cut it but I think you would get some tear out I would probably use a track saw for that
I always use a 15 gauge nailer to tie the header back to the framing to then fit my miters. Takes longer, better product.
good insights. thanks for sharing.
Nice little work horse.
Ts took to damn long my boss set a door in five mins
Faster isn’t always better my friend
How do you go about quoting jobs? I know trim, base etc you can charge by the foot. But let’s say you’re taking out old doors and installing new ones and it’ll take you all day. Are you just charging what your days worth? I’m trying to start doing side jobs but I just need to be better with giving clients quotes.
Yes exactly I have a day rate and a half day rate . So even if it’s a 2 hour job it’s a half day . So i bid a job by breaking down how many days I think it will take me add in some profit for your business and mark up on materials and that’s how it’s done
I just bought this saw at Home Depot, it didn’t come with the T bar, I bought 2 blades at the same time, a framing blade & a fine finish blade. The blade with the saw was a 24T. I only wanted to cut up some old pickets & my saw saw was getting too heavy. This will come in handy for smaller wood cutting.
Love the garden only tool hack
Thanks!
…they take time and damage very useful tools?
it probably does take more time but it certainly won’t damage anything
No just no
More of a joke man ! Although I don’t own a chainsaw so gotta do what yah gotta do
Awesome way to use up some scraps and stay efficient!
More office quotes in the future please!
Does the depth plate move on your saw? I just bought this saw and my plate seems to move around a little when locked down.
Mine seems to lock in tight you could try tightening the nut that holds that lever in place
It’s not the lever, it’s the attachment that connects the plate to the depth guide. Seems as thought there is only one rivet holding it to the plate. I’m going to look a little closer and make sure there isn’t a weld missing or something,
Butter knife works great.
Lol dude, just use a blade from your utility knife.
Man that’s a good video.Like the way you are working but also talking the trade in general.Thought you might talk about pricing jobs.✌️
Thanks man . I’ll have to do more in this format . I’m always a bit nervous to talk about pricing I always say to people who ask add up all your expenses in life say you need 3000 a month to live add 30% for taxes and then 30% in profit for your business then divide that by 160(the hours you work a month)and that should be your hourly rate. And when your biding jobs mark up material and subs 10-15%
Indeed, to be a successful subcontractor is to be a trustworthy person, to honor contracts and agreements and to keep decent all the time and with everybody. With this mentality I'm sure that your order book will stay full. I cannot but agree with every word, wish you the best, By the way : Here in France wearing a seat-belt before driving is a second nature to us, isn't it obligatory in the US?
Thanks for the comment ! Yes it’s required I just have a bad habit of not buckling up!
Great advice! When I became a Christian man then I seen just how big of a turn-off was acting like a teenager with no control over his tongue! I wanted my creator to be pleased with my behavior? Like staring at your customers wife? Make crass comments about them or their children? Acting like a pro because it took hard work to become one ? Even when ( and a few times it has happened) the customer looses it ? I don’t ! I subbed a job yr and a half ago and I watched the GC argue in front of all the trades with the customer? She was a doctor as was her husband they knew mathematics and were quick? So she quickly pointed out the contractual agreements , schedule of payments , reasons for with holding a draw ? I say all that to say this ? Work with ppl not against them? All that lady wanted was a progress meeting on a Saturday for an hour and he dug in ( the GC) stating it was family time ? ( I wanted to scream “ hey moron your not having any family time if your broke”! ). Bottom line he was JW and it was against the church to work weekends where he was ? Silly ! Either you are a tradesman or you’re an hourly employee with scheduled days off ! U certainly are not both! Great video !
Yes as a Christians we are called to a higher standard and I think that should show in our business and the way we conduct ourselves . Thanks for the comment I always appreciate it !
Nice overview, thanks for taking the time to post it. I’m considering this saw - most of my work will be outdoor using pressure treated (at least for now). Older woman with weak arms, lol. I have a circular saw but wondered if this investment would help me make consistent, repeatable cuts on 2x4 and 1x6 to save time. My circular saw is older and quite heavy to use all day. Comparing against a 10” brushless motor 18v Ryobi (I’m not a contractor so don’t need super duty). Seems like the smaller blade Dewalt will do all I need.
It would definitely help make repeatable cuts and is nice because it’s small and light . I’m personally not a big fan of ryobi but they are cost effective and do the job they just don’t stand up to the abuse a full time contractor puts them through
u
Man been trying to do the same thing.Thanks for the advice
No problem !
Is it ok to sometimes have exposed nails at the corner? Only one of my windows 🪟 out of 20 has two exposed nails at the corner. Not sure why nails were needed when they would be visible.
Yah it fine to have exposed nails they are aluminum nails so they won’t rust . in my case the nails will have caulking over them so technically they won’t be exposed. I’m sure someone who does window capping every day has a more efficient way of capping and hiding there nails for me this is just the way I was taught .
Thanks for posting!
