ok after last 2 months of carpentry and commercial projects in my team, concensus is that milwaukee is way way better than bosch of the same type of tool.

bosch cannot tahan abuse from hardcore work people

you better check how long bosch and makita waranties their tools in malaysia and compare it to how long they do it in usa and uk. if can tahan so well must waranty 2years ma.

i think support is good. and heard waranty is very long.
i didnt buy them for my own use but my carpenters do swear by them.(they buy their own high end tools)
so when they do my projects,for site installation etc build and install custom cabinets, i can see how well they perform.

milwaukee is really good la. some of their 12v has the capability quite comparable to bosch base model 18v while being lighter for on site jobs

more and more moving away from bosch cos bosch lembik.

anyway cutting 2inch white oak no problem with budget "homedepot" grade 18v saw. (used to trim the 14feet timber to shorter 4-5feet lengths, before moving to the table saw)


below pic to show the 2inch thick timbe. it was finished of at the table saw, not ryobi.

cool feature

only issue, is it needs 9inches overhang. cos the saw is riding on the waste piece side. so ie your waste piece can be 8-9inches. cant trim 1-2-3mm etc. (like festool/makita/dewalt track saw)

if u need white oak.. no problem. i think i got 1-2 tons now, another 0.5 tons coming next week

maybe, but usually i rarely cut panel goods.

usually cut solid wood timber.. cos its nice to cut on the sliding panel saw:D

haha can send you abit if you want. no problem. will be cutting some of those woods this week.
but freight to swk is expensive. so i think 500g worth of sample wood can la.

as for mitre saw.. spent too much time fixing the blade wobble and not getting perfect 90deg.. too much wasted time on that issue, once the panel saw is in the house, gotta kaukau use it..even if just to do edge trimming

haha, maybe just as a sample block.

anyway, i think freighter thing not so cost effective for woods..haha.

i hav some 2x8, length is 10-12feet. price i didnt count yet as its booked for a hotel project and ordered 2 months ago.
will check again with supplier with post sales tax prices when i order next shipment.

its there in most mitre saws. (include slide or stationary ones)

especially the first 2-3seconds of start up. the blade vibration can be felt. we are talking about 0.X deg run off

oic, that means around 8.5k per tan

i think shorter pieces (1x4 x 3feet) of belian can be bought around 4-5k per tan.

i think i have some belian. use for batten or hidden parts of the project to provide strength to the frame, should be no problem but not as main feature like front face of drawer or table top.. too boring.

thats quite wide 12inches and more

dont think many suppliers will have ready stock for that.

most people will joint them with 3-4inches wide strips and make them wider. if you can accept that..then its doable up to 7-8feet lengths

wah what battery buy until 100pcs? 18650 ah?

power wall?

ok cool
we had some extra joint wood from a previous project.

if width around 10-11inches, length 7-8feet.

how many pieces do you need? will check the store to make sure enough planks. and get a price for you.

cool
we are at subang/shahalam 2 locations where we keep the stocks. will pm you once we confirm the stocks afterward.

congrats. try potong sarawak hardwoods and see

i think can wan. gentle 5-6mm cuts first hehe

has azman visited u yet?
