The owners manual says to only use up to a 6" dado stack. I've recall reading a comment where someone say they used an 8" dado. If the blades actually fit, then I'm guessing it isn't recommended because of the power required to turn blades of that size.

It always amazes me to seeing experienced carpenters using tools wrong and dangerously

A little armchair clipboard warrior comment... May want to keep an eye on the locking nut when using dado stack. The braking action may cause the nut to come loose. Kind of related to why dados are hard to come by in UK. Cool video though. I've been eyeing this saw, but not willing to give up the outfeed and support extensions of my Bosch yet. I do love the lightweight, and easy of portability of this saw. Good video.

I doubt it's rated for that. The M18 Metal cutting circular saw is what I recommend for metal. It has the housing that catches the metal shavings.

Probably nice for light trim work, however as a jobsite saw that needs to cut any amount of wood you'd probably be swapping batteries all the time. I picked up the Hitachi 10" for 299 at Lowes last year and its got great power and fence, nice wheelie stand, though plug-in. Don't know the price on this, but I'm betting its a pretty expensive low-duty rate saw. Best thing someone could do if buying this is buy a thin kerf blade.

Cool. Great video. I saw this saw compared to the flex volt on toolbox buzz. The Milwaukee seemed to win in every category except for accuracy. How do you find the accuracy? What kinds of projects would you consider this good enough for and not good enough for?

@MarkThomasBuilder

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, those are some good questions. I haven't had this saw that long yet, but find it accurate on all the projects I've tried it on. I'll have to check out Rob's video to see his accuracy issue and it's possible that his video was from a saw that he got 2 years ago, when they were first introduced. You can make micro adjustments to the fence and the bevel. It's good enough for ripping material and running dado blades. The not good enough is if you were needing to rip material around 3" or so. This is a smaller blade and only goes to 2.5". That's not a bid deal for me really. The other thing is if you needed to run the saw constantly all day long and only had 1 battery, then you would have an issue. Hope these things help.

The TS looks to be a good builder's saw. I always use a splitter - it's the single most important safety mechanism and I see no reason to run saw without one. A kickback problem with an RAS often indicates the wrong blade style (never use a TS blade on a RAS - use a sliding compound miter saw blade) and/or bad alignment, and few radial saws built after the early 60s are worth owning. The old DeWalts are the best.

The push stick is supposed to be used to push the pieces between the fence and blade. When you used the miter guide the fence should have been further away. You are lucky any of your bad habits didn’t send the cut offs right to your head. Nice review of the saw I will give you that.

I've seen other battery powered table saw comparison tests and all the single battery units did close to "a few" 100 cuts of kiln dried 2x4's on one battery. The Makita has a dual battery setup that spins the blade faster, has more power, and lasts longer. If you're doing "heavier" cutting than the 2 battery Makita looks like a good alternative.

Instuctions with the saw say to use only 6.5 inch dado sets because of the battery power.

You did a good job on the video but it was hard to watch with you cutting a 1/2” between your fence and blade and pushing the opposite side of the blade.Move your fence over and adjust for the kerf cut and cut the half inch off the other side. To make that worse you wasnt using the riving knife, aside from one demonstration cut. That’s the first step and probably single most important piece to prevent kickback and you pushed your boards through on the opposite side of the blade. That seems a little unsafe. It works just fine until that one time it doesn’t. Then it’s disaster.
