"Best" m18 battery power and or capacity?
I cut one handed sometimes. Lay the saw on the ground face up, then lift the pipe on top and let gravity help you with the cutting.I have the deep throat one. Works good, but it's pretty much a 2 handed unit, so no holding the pipe and the saw
Fuck my brain never even thought of doing this... I can't cut a straight cut on tube with it freehand...
Part of the reason i dont like the 4" with the battery over the gap. Balance is fucked.Fuck my brain never even thought of doing this... I can't cut a straight cut on tube with it freehand...
Now burnt into my brain forever!
Do you have detail on how you shimmed the rollers and squared the fence?whatever one you get, shim the blade rollers and fence for a square cut.
i have never seen anyone do it other than me so far... but being tired of shitty cuts and destroying blades prematurly due to the blade cutting one way at the fence and different further out. i started shimming to tru the blade, and the fence. makes a world of difference in limiting frustration and good blade life. i'm also pretty careful to be sure i retract the fence when store to prevent it from bending.
*also if you have the m18. quit running the fuckers all out for everything. you can adjust the blade speed for a reason.
seemingly small tweaks, but you run into a job fitting 4" stainless sch40 pipe and you'll see a huge difference.
every single cut here was done with the m18 portaband. if i didn't have it tuned up right i would have either hated life or brought a shop saw to the boat. this was only a small part of the job.
i just cut little aluminum shims. loosen the roller blocks and shim under. can remember if its shims under the fence or just bend it?Do you have detail on how you shimmed the rollers and squared the fence?
Appreciate it thanks.i just cut little aluminum shims. loosen the roller blocks and shim under. can remember if its shims under the fence or just bend it?
use whatever big tube you got to run test cuts until its right.
*and be sure to start with a good new blade, that doesn't already pull one way.
when they aren't square it seems you start your cut and then always correct it in the same direction. so always wearing one side of the blade more and more until you cant take it anymore.... they last way longer when you can run a cut without always trying to correct. most people i iknow never really dull a blade, but replace it as it starts hooking too bad.
