I wonder how water based emulsion/latex paints work when thinned out
do they still dry and adhere properly ?

non waterbased thinner paints like automotive can be thinned out a lot and still work as expected

[Strugglerzinc]

Reminds me of a neighbour who buys Pricebuster paint then thins it then paints the exterior of his house and complains he has to repaint every year, the paint no good.

Rofl those paints are no good full strength would hate to see how they look thinned

[- Rovin's car audio -]

exactly , any of those economy level paints is total waste of effin time ....

Collected these today
Tried the saw on some stuff. This thing really cuts. Very smooth and clean.

[pugboy]

Where u bought the saw ?

[kripplerz]

Bought on Amazon shipped via sea freight.

[pugboy]

nice, be careful with the saw, don't drop it or let anybody man handle
rails on sliding saws need to be babied or they get loose and sloppy

[Ted_v2]

I need to Buy one of those dremels. I bought a cheap one from pricemart and it didn't last any time. I see Milwaukee m12 has a nice rotary tool also.

Might take one of those. Anyone has any m12 tools to sell BTW?

What brand of sliding miter say iz that...kripplerz?

[neexis]

Decided to go for it



$1540 from Allied. Was much bigger than the K3 "follow me" and K5 compact. But the K5 was about $2800.
K4.450 came with 2 tips, plus one brush tip.
Gave the car a wash this evening - used the Vario Power tip on Max for it to really blast away the dirt.

Like TedV2 said.. this can draw water from a bucket or other reservoir but you need the water suction hose attachment for it

those dewalt spade bits are amazing!!
tears through wood easily

[neexis]

Such joyyyyy

You tried them spade bits yet?

When would you use those over a cup saw?

[VII]

Anyone know where i can get a scissors type power shears or similar adapter/attachment for a drill to cut 18g or thicker steel sheets,not the nibbler types or the double action type that produces a 1/4 strip of wasted material, just the plain old 2 blade scissors configuration that would essentially cut like a scissors, electric or pneumatic would be fine.


Oh I checked all popular dealers including Laughlin,Bhags,Moses &Sons,Farfan,SWS,place next to SWS,Gopaul,W.H Scott etc,those tool stores in Cocoyea,everybody out of stock..

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Just realized i didn't check Agostini..

If you need uniseals check me.. it helps plumbing into barrels so much easier

Thank you pal,would check it out also...got a Chinese pneumatic so far...speed is important in the process , I would also follow up what you recommended..

hav a new (4.5 inch) porter cable grinder with paddle switch 7.5 amps
700.00 if anyone interested

[- Rovin's car audio -]

never was a spade bit fan bc i find they cut kinda rough but if finish doesnt matter then no scene & its always clogging up so u have to stop 1\2 way & clean d bit or go from d other side , even with good irwin bits

recently got d porter cable 7 piece holesaw kit & by far d best 1 i used so far , cuts rather efficiently & doesnt burn d wood unless u drilling slow , u need a good high speed drill with some torque for wood though ....

[X_Factor]

spade bits are used when you need deep holes in the wood where a hole saw can go through the other side

[pugboy]

I thought running drill too fast is what overheats bits

[X_Factor]

a nice set of bits to keep in ur arsenal is forstner bits but its kinda expensive

And u need to be rel woodwork man to use and appreciate those...

[X_Factor]

yeah, i used a 5/8 bit to set some t nuts
using a hand drill is almost impossible....drill press is what is needed to make flat and level holes
