I'm getting a new saw

[Tomboyy]

I am ordering a DW715 Dewalt miter saw tonight. I went through all the reviews today and picked this one. It seemed to rank in the top 3 most everywhere. Gonna take my wood working to the next level.

I have to clean up the garage and I'm going to tear down a bench and build new benches around most of it. I might take some pics of the progress and post here.

My favorite part is finishing. I'm getting stoked to get out there and start building stuff.

Nothing like getting a new toy. Uh. I mean tool. 😉

DeWalt makes good stuff, they haven't cheesed out like Makita. Finish work is my weak spot. My miter saw is a Delta, actually.

Deltas are nice...kinda pricey,their scroll saw is really good so I've heard,i couldn't afford one

You do the old school style when woodworking? With hidden dowels and keyed joints?

[Tomboyy]

No...I dont screw with biscuits and dowels, they're really not needed, glue will holdjust as good without a biscuit. Dovetails are alittle out of my skillset.

When glued properly, the wood will break before the glue gives way, much like a proper weld

I have used biscuits and dowels on some stuff I made. I actually prefer to use a tiny brad nail and glue.

Kreg makes a jig that lets you use screws. You can do projects with that jig where the screws are hidden and add some glue and your good to go.

I brought a Bosch Mitre saw for myself as an xmas pressy seeing as Im doing so much house renovating at the moment.
I looked at Dewalt but they carry a hefty price tag here so decided against it even though it was a far better saw.
Im a huge fan of Hitachi but they come at a massive cost also and couldnt warrant spending that kind of money.
