trust meh i own both d palm sander & d belt sander - belt sander will be alot faster on d edges ...

can't get a better review than that.. belt sander it is then... thanks..

[TheWiseOne]

the best for u will be the belt sander and even better if its a variable speed belt sander.

all my tools are dewalt and they are all that i would recomend.

i use the dewalt belt sander to sand anthing from 1/4"mdf to 2" plexi and trust me when i say id does eat wood lol.

[kurpal_v2]

TheWiseOne, you could say how much u paid for your tool used to cut speaker holes?

[TheWiseOne]

i have both a dewaly jigsaw and a dewalt variable speed plunge router if anyone is interested i can link u with the dewalt dealer and u will get a verynice price and also the most important u will get 2 years free service on the tool and 1 year warranty on all parts.

there customer support iss great i sent my jigsaw for a service and they were willing to lend me one for the 2 days it was servicing.

also i had a screw that had gotten slack due to constant use and it happend to break and thoses guys didnt have the screw in stock so they brought a brand new one from there stock and took out that one screw for mine and had mine in ordr for me.

i cant remebr the exact cost for the plunge router but it was around 2000 because i boughtall my tools the same time nah lol.

The repair center for dewalt is esau, just off the gulf view link road. they have parts in stock and they are very reasonable. The also repair black and decker there.

I would recommend a planer to level the surfaces, but then I remember those nasty gypsum screws. Go with a variable speed belt sander. 40 grit should be sufficient.

So Im looking to aquire a new multimeter, to perform the basics and sand up to some abuse and came across this

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1260 ... 1&sLevel=0

A craftsman l# 82141. Worth the $25usd or so?

[3stagevtec]

^those will work for everyday testing without a problem..

R&N Electronics on Cipero St has a few decent ones for a reasonable price.. i bought a simple digital one like what you posted for around $250.. it has all of the features plus selectable ranges, temperature measurement & a protective covering..

[kurpal_v2]

^^ You know me better than that, I dont need all that and my dad in the states right now so I just looking for something simple and effective....


Ill confirm with him to get that one for me, still not sure if it coming with the cables or not though..

it supposed to come with cables.. $25 US is a good price..

IIRC, you can get budget models of fluke in sears.

got this lil toy for my b-day



now i need to get some time to start some projects

[3stagevtec]

^ that's a nice saw!

my old blade was quite dull (used it to cut down some coconut trees ) so i bought this one just recently.. and was abit surprised to see it's quite similar in design to the Bosch blade..



this blade has smaller teeth than the regular Black and Decker standard blades.. hopefully it should provide faster neater cuts..

[Loudsound Customs]

boi Irwin Blades 4 it....

[southside connections]

dat looking like ah carbide tipped

i use craftsman carbide tipped,ah lil expensive eh,but well worth it

[kurpal_v2]

^^ Makes no sence to use carbide tipped blades... What are the benefits vs costs?



Anyone ever had to calibrate a DMM? Cheap thing reading a little off I think, either that or Ive got a 15.6v fed amp..

[southside connections]

gives me a smooth,clean cut,no chips ect

[kurpal_v2]

I seeing carbide and thinking something else, sry bout that.

[southside connections]

lol, the blade 3stage has is carbide and so is the bosch

[- Rovin's car audio -]

im using dewalt blade in my cicular saw - thin with alot of teeth & cuts with ease on my skill saw ...

[kurpal_v2]

so anyone ever had to calibrate their DMM?


My new one give me a reading of 3volts more than the previous one...Either one of the meters are wrong or I changed a fuse and got 15.xx with the music, ac and headlights on.

[silent_riot]

Try a new battery in the meter.

[kurpal_v2]

How that affects it? Im just asking...
