Re: First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?
One of the good things about cutting liters by hand is there is really no dust, just a little sawdust that doesn't fly around the room. Cleanup is nothing.

Re: First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?
Good point. Except for some cussing and swearing on occasion, the only load noises was the framing hammer and circ saw when I started out.

Re: First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?
I had one, from sears, quite a piece of equipment. Later, got a Hitachi chop saw. What a beast.

Re: First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?
What I remember most was each nail driven into the miter corner - first you had to turn it tip up and blunt the point with a single hammer blow so it wouldn't split the wood.

Re: First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?
Come to think of it, mine was too. Used it for balsa wood control line model airplanes. I can still smell the nitromethane and castor oil.
Learning to make cuts to 1/64th accuracy as a kid probably both helped and hindered my building career.

Re: First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?
I was always envious of these. By the time I was able to get one, this nice, a power one was within reach.
I still use one occasionally. Just yesterday, I had to cut 3 pieces of trim. When I got out the old Makita miter saw, my son laughed a little. He said he was sure I would have cut them by hand. Usually this is when it comes out. I would like to have a Lion miter though. |

Remember that. I was only a couple years ago, I realized I didn't even have hand drive nails in the truck.

I’ve cut them off the strip several times. But having hand drives is long gone. I’ve been thinking about it. I don’t really know when I stopped carrying them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Advertisement |
