Pants Boy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Those Ryobi saws are ****. They have **** fences, horrid tolerance in the blade (If you move it up or down, it moves side to side as well, changing the angle of the blade) and blades you can only replace with Ryobi ones (Due to an odd arbor size and **** tolerances on that, so ie a Tork Craft blade won't fit properly and wobble at speed) The MacAfric one is slightly better, still a pretty crap fence, but you can replace blades easier. I love most of my MacAfric machines. Capricorn and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love most of my MacAfric machines. a long while back, i bought a ryobi mitre saw. Deliberately chosen for low price, but still hoping for dependable accuracy of cut. Bit of an unpleasant surprise each time I use it. The fence is out of alignment, the zero settings are off. Each time I swivel or rotate the blade, I have to check for square. Granted, it doesn't take me an age to set it just right, but it's unnecessary hassle. Can't wait to play with the Bosch mitre saw with that fancy hinge system.

dev null Posted August 16, 2016 Share Love my Bosch Mitre Saw. But I had to calibrate also after I unpacked it, as shipping has moved the setting off by a degree. But now it is solid, and that blade cuts so smooth, I am able to cut millimeter slivers off.

Let me know what you'd like I'm in the market for a carvers mallet, but with a short handle (about 110% of the legth of the head)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Boy Posted August 17, 2016 Share I'm in the market for a carvers mallet, but with a short handle (about 110% of the legth of the head)? How about a 70mm head and 80mm handle? I can make a single-piece one out of Rhodesian Teak for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm busy making 'a few' giant Jenga sets, this came from one of the parts. It's not going into the pile of parts I'd like some more suggestions for it ... don't really have place for a lamp.
