This Is Now Freak's Admittedly off Topic Night Before Red Team Thread

[FalcoVol]

Oh ok, well good luck with that. Hope it works out.

yep

Makita makes a good one. Dewalts product have gone downhill. I haven't used much ridgid equipment only there shop vac but it is a good one.

I used the crap out of a Dewalt when I was in Iraq. But that was a while ago.

My dad swears by Ryobi

 

[Grand Vol]

Want to move there someday. Hopefully within a few years.

Pretty laid back and friendly people. Very independent types.

Be prepared for nothing but wind though.

I'll check Makita

Not much difference in the two, would probably go with the Dewalt though.

Those were just two that looked decent. I really just need something to cut crown molding, but apparently some of these handle crown cuts differently. I need to do some more research I suppose.

the smaller Craftsman actually does well on molding. little hobby job, but it works pretty well

Yeah lol. Tired here boss

Really?

From what I can tell, it seems like the size of the crown molding can have an impact on which saw is best.

Ryobi sucks, that's what my dad buys. And since he buys it, i assume it's the cheapest.

You must have edited it right as I clicked reply. I thought I was losing it there for a second.

I don't think Ryobi is bad. I've owned a few of their products over the years and have been relatively pleased.

It does. Smaller blade is generally better for delicate work. Larger blade tends to rip more

Just remember to cut the crown upside down.

Hey guys. How's everyone this evening? I'm so excited about the game tomorrow that I can't sleep. epper:

I've watched what seems like nearly 100 videos online. :lol:

Our stuff tears up easy. We may just be too rough with it and don't take care of it.

 

[Freak]

According to what I've read some of the smaller blades (or maybe the deck?) won't work for larger moldings.

You might be right. My experience is limited.

How big of a crown is it?

Also, look for a thin kerf blade. Those are straight awesome

Pretty good man, how are you? I can't wait for the game. I want to hurry and go to sleep so it'll get here quicker, but i can't sleep either lol.

Kerf blade?

I haven't picked it out yet but probably 4-5 inch range, I'm guessing.

You never sleep. I don't sleep much and you're on here later than me and have usually already posted when I wake up. You can't get more than 4-5 hours sleep most nights, if that.

Thin kerf. Thinner blade, cuts a but better. I put one on my small miter saw and it works great for delicate jobs.

Some crowns are too big and wont lay right in the saw. Some crowns could be taller than the piece the back of the crown has to lean on. Just make sure the saw/crown you get will work with each other.
