Re: New DeWalt Cordless: In a world of 18v tools, why go 20v MAX?

I purchased the new Milwaukee compact 12v cordless and have to say its a great lightweigh tool. I never went for the heavy Dewalts, you might as well use your Milwaukee Magnum with a cord. I previously used the Panasonic cordless for years, thats another powerful lightweight 12v cordless. Nice metal circ saw too.

Re: What Ever Happened to the Radial Arm Saw?

Yes I have a 12" one.
Delta 33-890 Single Phase 120
I am on my second motor, the first one I had was 70's These motors were Delta's worst. The motor blew out after getting jammed. Guess what? Delta does not make a 120 single phase motor anymore.
So luckily I found one on ebay. A mint Rockwell 12". The seller took the motor off the saw and sold me just the motor.

It took my delta tech a couple of hours to install, but now this motor hums and looks like it will last a liftime(like it should) I think the radial saw is a great tool and the one I find myself using very often for crosscutting mostly.

Delta still uses the original design and castings on the 33-890 from pretty far back.

I would love to add the new Unisaw some day to my shop and replace the Delta contractors saw I own. They saw is also great and has a lot of milage in my home shop. I used it to rip over a hundred IPE 2x4's into 2x2's for a fence project.
