More expensive one is 12Amp...less expensive is 10Amp

12A = more powah
10A = gettur done

[X_Factor]

i used the 12amp version this year to cut 32 pieces of 3/4 corrugated steel that was jotting out too much
long story short, the 12 amp had some serious power!

[Chimera]

kk. will get the 12amp massahs.


i see southern supplies limited have the 13amp in stock

[Strugglerzinc]

And you'll pay through the nose for it.

[pioneer]

dat deer vat and duty on local tools lol

govt removed duty from power and hand tools a very long time ago

be aware

[pugboy]

depends what you planning to do.
If you want to do everything a router can do then get a proper setup.

Otherwise it is not hard to rig a little fence to do basic stuff.

I bought a book on making jigs for routers but still have not gotten around to it.

Looking at a router table setup...do you guys think it better to make one with a fence or buy one?

[Chimera]

anyone know where i can get tubing like this locally, cheaper than places like bhagwansingh?

corrugated drainage tubing

[X_Factor]

call rotoplastics etc

[searchingone]

Does anyone know where I can get this pvc fitting to buy? I've never seen it in hardwares but just in case, what is the correct term for it?

What diameter you looking @ ?

[Chimera]

4 inch or 6 inch

[shotta 20]

I know EIL (Formerly Century eslon) stocks bigger sizes.
You can still call David @ 299-7350

[Chimera]

its to protect some pawpaw trees from weed wacker string

[silent_riot]

Can't use normal PVC?

[Chimera]

yeah I could but then I would have to use a angle grinder/ jigsaw/table saw to cut 4-6inch pvc in half, then band or tie them together around each tree

with this drain pipe i would just have to cut one slice and wrap it around the tree

im looking at the cost difference because if the corrugated is much more expensive then it would make sense using regular pvc.

[Ted_v2]

Went allied(sp) tools cross crossing.

WHOA! everything I ever needed

[shotta 20]

Cant use old car tyres? Drill a hole in them so they wont gather water.

[Chimera]

800 old car tyres lol....and snake guh live in that

[pugboy]

you can get 4,6" guttering pvc which is already cut in half
guesstimating it would be around $10/ft for complete circle

[Chimera]

guess I could just buy enough for 100 full circles and move them from batch to batch

will look into it

by chance anyone in here could recommend a good commercial weedwacker?

willing to spend about $6000

[Chimera]

getting my DEWALT DW310K 12 Amp in the morning from ezone btw

total cost -1295 landed
and i bought a 6 piece blade set as well as a 5 12 inch wood blades for $360 landed

[TURBOT]

Anyone know where I can get accu turn brake lathe carbide cutting tips locally or do I have to bring it in?

[X_Factor]

nice!!
tell us how it works when u put it to the test!

you can get a quote on the 6" pipe and do the cutting urself since u have the sawzall

you may also consider dropping some small hinges on a side so they swing open, it will surely save alot of time having to tie them together and do that all over again when moving them

Stihl or Echo. They are always top rated on any online comparisons and local users. I know farmers who swear by both, at the same time. Local support for both are also very good.

Just pick a model to suit your needs and budget.

[Chimera]

1 foot protection around tree should be enough to protect from blade/wacker string?

[Ted_v2]

yea that should be good. Once the wakka man used his sense

[pugboy]

how long do sawall blades last on metal ?
Do they last longer than hacksaw blades ?

I hear that is all them fellas does walk with when they going japan to scrap/cut down cars to ship bamboo.
