  • I GET THE HITCH PLATE FOR THE BEVERAGE TRUCK AND GET IT WELDED IN PLACE. CUT A HOLE FOR A 2" RECEIVER, D RINGS, MADE BRACKETS FOR THE FLATBED AND WIRED UP THE LIGHTS. THAT EVOLUTION SAW WAS A HUGE TIME SAVER ON THIS PART OF THE PROJECT! I DONT USUALLY DO REVIEWS BUT THIS IS A TOOL THAT IS WORTH SHARING! I HAD BEEN LOOKING AT THESE FOR SOME TIME. IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY IN MY OPINION!
    EVOLUTION 14" COLD CUT SAW MODEL S355CPSL

    I have used the crimp connectors you were showing, first time in 1970 they were really designed for hooking up fluorescent fixtures that were joined end to end meaning they were in a weather proof enclosure. I cannot tell you how many times I have had a problem with them in that environment no matter how careful you are with them, often the contractor I was working for demanded we use them because of the speed. They were never meant to be used under a truck bed, outside in the weather and there is not any good reason for anyone to use them. If you look at one, the amount of contact with the wire is minimal at best and you did the guy you sold it to the biggest favor ever getting them off.

    That was definitely a great frame job on that beverage truck that you repurposed into a flat bed truck. That cold saw is definitely a great addition to your shop. As always you do a great job on all the trucks you do.

  • @mraycgz
    @mraycgz Před 4 lety

    JC I gotta tell ya. You are one heck of a fabricator. Part of the reason your stuff is so interesting to watch is because you do not cut a single corner when it comes to fabrication. There’s something to be said for sometimes doing things a little more economically if the situation calls for that but when it comes to fabrication if you want something to last and to be safe you got it down buddy.

    • @j.c.smithprojects

    I have the Dewalt cold saw. 14" just like your Evolution. Absolutely love these saws for quick, precise cuts. No blade deflection so you can literally shave off paper thin slices if needed. Also very little heat buildup so you can literally grab a piece you just cut with bare fingers and not burn yourself unlike most any other cutting method. I also have the Milwaukee metal cutting circular saw (corded version) for cutting big sheets of metal. It looks like a circular saw on steroids but man is it handy. I've ripped 4x8 sheets of 1/2" plate into 2' strips with no effort at all. Good job JC....keep up the good work and the great videos!

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  Před 4 lety +1

      I may look into that circular saw. i dont do a bunch of rips like that but one or two times would make it worth it.

  • @bobbycraig309
    @bobbycraig309 Před 4 lety

      @j.c.smithprojects  Před 4 lety +1

  • @garymucher9590
    @garymucher9590 Před 4 lety

    Obviously the carbide slow RPM blade does a very nice cut and fast as well. But since most people that bought the typical grinding type metal cut saw, I will just use what I got. Yes, I would love to have a new Evolution metal saw, but since I don't use it everyday and not in any hurry to cut metal when I do use mine, I keep what I got. Plus the cost is way higher then a grinding type metal cut saw... Thumbs Up!

    • @j.c.smithprojects

    I use hole saws in a drill press quite a bit. Most times I use a blower nozzle on the air hose. Air cools the blade and removes the chips. I have thought about the carbide saws in the past but have stayed away because I am afraid less skilled users will wreck the blades

    I worked on a mod project on railcars where we had to drill through 3/16" stainless steel with a 2" hole saw, overhead, in a cabinet where the only way to reach it was with a 1/2" right angle drill, pushing straight up through the plate, with the hot stainless steel dropping down your arm. We had to do the same mod on almost two hundred cars. We burned up so many hole saws, I couldn't even begin to guess. But it was the only tool that would get the job done.

      This was in 1994ish. Nobody where I work had ever heard of an annular cutter. And a mag drill wouldn't have fit into the cabinet. And the budget department would've never allowed it anyway. Hole saws and burn cream are cheap...mag drills and annular cutters are expensive. 😂
