@EatSleepTacos @Subway4X4 how much would you pay for this chop saw? Also any thoughts on HF chop saw?

Ha! Bingo!

 

The chop saw is $175 at Home depot, so after tax with my military discount it's $168. With it being used and whatnot, I'd pay $100 for it. As far as the HF it seems to have good reviews. Just buy the warranty so if it shits the bed, you just go get a new one.

 

Building these are just gettin spensive I don’t know how a large part of what I see on social media plus TW afford all this shit

 

thanks! will see what this guy is asking..

Also I want to know what a wheel well bender is.

Yeah people spend a whole lot of money on their rig. It's crazy.

I'm guessing a tool to roll wheel well fenders outwards so cars can run wider tires without rubbing

 

That is a fender roller tool. I know what that is

I'm guessing that's what he meant by wheel well bender

 

oh ok. Unless it bends sheet metal to make an internal metal wheel well? I dont know.

 

That'd be cool too! We could rip out our wheel wells and make new ones out of aluminum

 

I did 3 jobs once.. too much for me. Even 2 gets to be too much. Or at least in the winter, Ill do 3, so I can make $, and not be freezing

 

Definitely would do that! Actually I kinda need to

 

that is super clean! I like it!

only 1 issue with mine (not yet though) is that I wont have that lip on the flare to bolt to.

 

when I was younger... worked at a video rental place, Target, and UPS store.. but way too many hours. Now I try to enjoy my time off, even though I am bored half of the time.

 

Yeah you'd have to get creative as hell with mounting

 

That’s rad

 

@EatSleepTacos @Subway4X4 turns out id need a mitre saw with a metal cut off blade. A chop saw only does 90 degree cuts, but a mitre saw can do angles. Probably dont need one now, and definitely dont have the space

 

Not sure what model the “Chop Saw” is. Looks like a 10” Miter Saw (I think) For reference, Dewalt uses the term “Chop Saw” for metal cutting, and “Miter Saw” for woodworking. Also, I don’t see the stand mentioned in the CL ad. I would pay no more than $60 if it runs well $75 if it comes with a decent stand.

I own a Ridgid bandsaw and planer/jointer that I purchased at HD many years ago. They are great tools that I consider in-between Ryobi (homeowner target) and Dewalt (pro target).. so mid-level? The drill press seems a little rough from the one pic (lots of surface rust on the main column.) It’s a floor model, so garage space might be a issue for you. I own a Delta Bench model. Make sure that the belt is good and the motor runs smoothly. Check to see if you can move the belt to adjust the speed. I wouldn’t pay more than $75 bucks if it passes these criteria and you feel comfortable that you can take care of the rust with a little surface cleaning.

Don’t have a clue about the Hitachi Table Saw. They do make good tools. It looks like a jobsite table saw without a rolling stand. If it runs well, has a minimum 24” rip capacity, the maybe offer $50? More if with a nice stand.

So, if all three meet decent criteria, I would offer $200.

My 2 cent opinion.
