Dewalt 20volt Scroll saw
« on: December 12, 2017, 07:31:41 PM »
I picked up a reconditioned Dewalt 20 volt scroll saw for a killer price, $114! I think it costs $269 or something like that, so I couldn't pass

I started it off cutting over 40 linear feet of 2 X 10 and I have to say, it just chews those sticks right up. I mean you can move fast through the material. I'm gonna have fun with this one!

THis lever releases the blade or captures a new one:

I'm not even sure of all the features just yet, but I'll experiment on my neighbors hippie car later on tonight.

After using it for a couple hours, it had gone through three batteries but never slowed by anything except a dying battery

Nice. Just got one of those to replace the Rigid, to finish my daughter's out house project.
That black lever adjusts the airflow to clear the chips.

They do have some nice tools and good battery prices.

I recently added a reciprocating saw and an electric impact gun as well. Haven't used either yet, and will await that future use to report on them

PC has a nice impact that I just drove a 12in sds on my add on. Thing is a monster and lowes price matched at $89.

Great for tire/wheel work too with beadlocks!

I have one as well. Love it.

I have switched exclusively to Bosch Progressor blades though.
They make a few different types of these more expensive blades.

Will cut 2" oak or birch so smooth you really don't need to sand.
 
This is one of them.

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Love all the battery powered stuff out there now. I did have an interesting one yesterday. Changing a tire and the DeWalt impact wouldn't break one of the lugs. Grabbed the breaker bar and couldn't find a cheater pipe so I was worried how hard I was going to have to yank on it but it broke free surprisingly easy. I was just surprised the impact couldn't break it free. Still a ton faster than doing them by hand but I was surprised it didn't have as much power as I had hoped for breaking something free.
