i have wanted to buy one since dewalt put the portable contracters model with 2 speeds on the market, but i have only run into a few situations where i actually NEEDED it.
the last time was a 1970's den with floor to ceiling t&g cedar and a few pieces needed to be replaced. the old growth cedar was 1/2" and nothing anyone could get me. with only 120 lin ft. of material to be made, i still couldn't justify the cost when the local yard would do it for me for $50.
i still can't walk in the depot or yard without stoping and doing math in my head... trying to make a good enough justification to buy this machine i have no work for...
so if you own one, do you put it to good use?
