I can't afford a decent miter saw, and they take up space I don't have. I need a crosscut jig because, due to the size of the base of the circular, I cannot cut anything that's less than 11cm in width, and pretty much every project I have in mind requires that. Also, a crosscut jig with a stop...

I ended up buying a Makita HS7601. It comes with a useless dust extraction adapter that god knows what kind of hose attaches to, so dust is just as before but I got used to it. I've been trying to build a crosscut jig for it for over a week but it just won't work. I was finally able to build...

OK, turns out I was a bit stupid. I thought that, since the bevel is already set to 0 degrees, that if I changed it to a higher degree then it would make the problem worse, but I just tried it and was able to square the blade to the plate. I thought without the grub screw I simply won't be able...

I found one! A DeWalt dwe575k, is 40 euros more than the Metabo but has a bigger blade and seemingly very nice dust extraction. Now I have to make a decision :( Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Sure, I'll buy a festool, it's only $500 or so and it's only to be used with a rail which I don't want. They sell a DeWalt for $109 on amazon.com with a 0 degree alignment screw and a cast base, but seems that everything on the European Amazon sites is garbage made of stamped metal that sells...

Why would the blade go out of square? Well, my silverline saw arrived like that, and so do many budget, and even "professional" saws do, possibly because circular saws are mostly used for rough cuts before using a table saw. I intend to use a circular saw as my only saw, so it has to be dead...

So I checked with a local store and the Bosch doesn't have it. Still no useful reply from makita (they gave me a part number for a screw :\). Does anyone know if the Makita 5008mg has it? Otherwise I'll just settle for a 55mm cutting depth and be done with it. Sent from my SM-G930F using...

Hi, I'm looking for a circular saw with one "simple" feature - a screw that let's you re-adjust the 0 angle (90 degree) bevel thingy, in case that setting the bevel adjuster to 0 no longer puts the blade square to the base plate. I know of one saw that has this - the Metabo KS 55 FS. The...

Yes, I've heard of Festool and it does seem to have some really nice engineering, but I'm a super casual DIYer, I haven't built anything before so a Festool really isn't an option. I think I'll build a table saw just for the fun of it. How can I protect its motor from the dust that falls...

I think I'll just use my silverline saw and convert it into a simple table saw. Then all the dust would be right underneath the table, right? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi, I'm not from the UK but I can buy most stuff on Amazon UK and DE (and the other European versions). In my country we also use 230V so stuff from the UK works fine. So I'm looking for two things in a c.saw: 1. Great dust collection 2. Ability to re-adjust the 0 bevel point, in case it gets...
