It may but it will damage screw head from time to time unless you remove the driver at perfect time.  laugh.gif  This is annoying if you have to replace the screw or for person who want to unscrew it. I'd just pre-drill hole with drill bit and then screw.

ya
1. it may crack at the end grain, if its close to the ends of the board. always predrill
2. the head might putus when you try to back out. nothing ruins a day more than having to extract out a screw head on something you spend 2-3days making already and nearing completion

Wasn't impact driver meant to drive screw?

Whereas impact wrench have higher torque. Would damage screw.

why do you think there is this thing still called a electric screw driver.
yea I use M12 screw driver, they dont market it here.. goes to show the level of local appreciation for fine work done. lol.. no problem cheap2 from states.
also screws, use those which is meant for wood (usually yellowish, thin body), not the usual bright chrome ones with fatter body..

Baru mahu start new project, 3 years pending punya. 2 Part question

I have to consistently cut 22 1/4" wide panels from standard 4x8 blockboard. My Bosch GTS10J cut max ~18". Before I use my cordless circular with my jig to do it. As usual, never that consistent to 1/16".

Ada idea how to expand the cut width capacity?

Disclaimer, no panel saw like ar188, i do this just to kill time, kinda hobby, i have limited/unlimited resources to buy tools, as long as i can keep in in a store.
*
you mean two 10feet panel saws? laugh.gif

back to question, perhaps a festool track saw? laugh.gif

or budget version, kreg rip guide. yea, i have that. it works.

Sengaja sungguh cakap 2 panel saw...

Sengaja juga ckp festool.... I wonder how much that thing in Malaysia oo.

And yes, I have both Kreg rip-cut and Kreg accu-track. So will have to use that then. Still can lari abit, usually in 1/16.

if thats the case. the only best way is measure off the factory edge , clamp a straight edge on both ends and cut with your circular saw

If wanna cut the 38mm thick butcher block, jigsaw or circular saw is better?

circular.

jig saw will not have a good cut quality. if really need to use it, i use a metal blade (fine teeth) and max the orbital action mode (so it doesnt take forever to cut). and use a straight edge.

China got kreg rip cut clone already. Well, not 100% same lar, it uses some standard square aluminium rod and plate I think.
I think I saw it before, didn't buy coz I feel I dont really need it.

Two different purpose. If you are doing cutting mostly in open area like on window, roof, small trunk, then you want reciprocal (sabre) saw. Not for fine cutting.

If you do wood cutting on bench and similar stuff, then you need jigsaw for more accuracy and control.

so far my ryobi cordless is pretty solid, use them to cut 1x4 steel tubing too.. (with metal blade)

for light jobs, i use my M12 jigsaw.pretty handy with D handle.

I have an older bosch jigsaw (swiss made or sth) with these blades right now:
standard size Bosch T101BR Jigsaw Blade HCS Clean for Wood and also
the shorty blade (was told it was for making curved cuts) T101AO 20 TPI Clean for Wood T-Shank Jig Saw Blades

Wondering if I should procure the Bosch T308B Jigsaw Blades (5 Piece) 2608663751 Extra Clean just in case?
Will note down to use a straight edge. I tried freehand cutting pine wood with the "clean for wood" standard size blade (T101BR IIRC), so far ok lah, no splinters at the end  sweat.gif

circular saw is best. jigsaw wont get you this finished cut edge as below.

Ryobi tiada jual sini, But i'd still go makita than Ryobi (except for AirStrike). Why you no pakai M18 jig saw, suprisingly sama prince range with makita.

You praise Milwaukee, but never mentioned Ryobi?
ryobi is my personal collection (over 10 tools) for last 3years ma, used on so many projects especially at site doing custom install. i bought mostly the non brushless range due to cheaper prices but the power is there once you use the bigger battery capacity 4.0 and up (parallel 18v cell configurations) as voltage drop under load is not affected as much as single 18v configuration smaller size and AH battery units.

my milwaukee is m12 jigsaw, i only invested in 12v system so far screwdriver/impactdrill/jigsaw.
didnt have m18 battery system yet as not sure if i should get the dewalt or makita or milwaukee system for 18v due to most of the needs fulfilled by the full range of the ryobi 18v i already owned.


anyway i am a non stocking makita dealer, i can get all the makita tools at dealer price la..just need 1day for makita pj to send it to me.
already buy before makita bandsaw , thickness planer , router , makita planer knives, bandsaw blade, spare parts etc.

how much discount will u get if u commit 20k?
i dont think thats the dealer price maybe discounted price perhaps

I have all love for the GKF 12V-8 Bosch cordless trimmer (can i say a router?)

1. It's light, can be rotated or angled any other way.
2. Excellent weight distribution, its base heavy (unlike normal trimmer which is top heavy due to the motor), so easier to balance even on a thin 18mm edge.
3. The DC motor has no forced torque on the user. A normal router with top heavy, spinning at 20-30K RPM has a will of its own to turn. You can feel that when you swipe it around, it tends to pull your hand around.
4. Super easy depth adjustment with micro metric,
5. Excellent big well-designed flat base.
6. Debris/dust doesn't SPRAY all around, somehow its more collective going down. Normal trimmer I must pakai eye PPE, confirm akan kena in face, or eye, but on this one, less need, but i still use anyways, it's a habit.
7. Router bit bearings don't get caught up in dust/glue. I dunno why, but on a normal trimmer, i'd have to occasionally clean glue/dust residue from the bearing.
8. It's not as noisy as a normal trimmer, I dun have to use ear plug, and I can go through even at night. Normal trimmer, cutting laminates/abs is almost as loud as circular saw cutting wood. This one a bit louder than drilling wood.
9. Battery life, single 2AH battery lasted me a whole 20ft length of cabinets carcass, I'd say >120 ft length of trimming
10. All of the above gave EXCELLENT control.

I'm so amazed, for RM560+ it is a excellent investment (much better than the more expensive Makita cordless jigsaw, which I kinda regretted). Now I don't frown when I have to trim laminates.
*
what control do you mean? it rides and rely on the bearing right when you do those important cuts/trim? and its axis is offset from the body

for me router control is when you freehand plunge into a work area and can cut out a letter C for example.
also i dont think it has the power to do a 1/2inch roundover on solid wood unless you lower it down 1mm each time to remove waste slowly..

hence its foremost , a laminate trimmer but a very good one at that. biggrin.gif

You've got something mixed up. A router is a trimmer is a router.

ar188 will be using his bigger router to route. Me will be using my router, to trim.
*
he means you got both, two units to do different things, not all in one unit.

but your laminate trimmer is more for trimming laminates and small bevel/roundovers

let the proper 18v trim routers to the heavier job of biting bigger chunks tongue.gif

Not mixed up. I just classify a small version of wood router as trimmer. It will struggle to do real routing job. The actual trimmer is actually something like this

[attachmentid=10315834]

but now tool has evolved. Now you have bit with roller and router can also do trimming job. I just classify less powerful one as trimmer  biggrin.gif
*
just to add
even these shape of trim routers got many classes, and makita alone makes 3-4 different ones of this size.

but in market from low shitty 400w power to 900w power. biggrin.gif the one i use to level dining table slabs are 600-700w in power. dont need huge ass 2HP models.
