As 10.10 is coming soon.. I was planning to get a circular saw to cut the sinkhole in butcher block countertop (28mm thickness birch).
For maximum theoretical load I might be using it to cut 2" thick (2x4) later on.
If I get the Bosch GKS7000 it will be sufficient right (as max cutting depth is 65mm)?
Do you guys recommend the GKS7000 or should I get the Hitachi C7SS instead based on: - serviceability (eg carbon brush replacement) - durability (should not fail under normal home use) - consumables (184mm saw blade is common right?)
Also one more question, 40T is good enough for clean straight cuts (90deg) in birch butcher block, or I need to get a 60T/80T saw blade?

My installer was just using a jigsaw to cut countertop. A circular saw is too much I believe
if its undermount sink, circular saw alone is not enough.
Thanks for the input. Was thinking to get a router instead as I saw one guy on Youtube, he used a router to do very pretty undermount cutout on butcher block
Was looking at Makita M3600 black colour router vs Makita blue RT0700C small router + china plunge base. No difference in terms of black and blue coloured tools from Makita right? Seems like the M3600 plunge router with Plunge capacity 0-60mm should fit my needs.

Hahaha if top mount a jigsaw will suffice. But I have a liking for undermount sink so have to do it right the first time since I'm holding the last pcs of butcherblock from IKEA lol

How you compare loud since this is your first table saw?
Been going through table saw review and comparison and I think this Dewalt is the right choice perhaps. The Stanley is cheaper but the miter slot is not standard. So, you cannot use universal one in the market just in case.
I'm considering one too. Let me know how it goes
One more thing. That table is not going to last

I'm not comparing any table saw, it just super loud.
I just assembly and take picture. turn on for 5 second and immediate turn off. can't bear the loud noise. now browsing for ear protection and respirators. any recommendation?
I never used any cutting power tools. I really need to be 200% careful with it.

Unless you put in open space to work, the sound is amplified by room or bounded area. Well, still going to be loud but not as loud
You just need ear protection and goggle. A mask like this will do
Maybe the first project is make a dust collection system for this

i have the rt0700c its a better product but its also a smaller tool, or trim router which packs some power.
m3600 is a big router, if you can handle it confidently, i guess its the better tool for the job. that said, i usually use trim router for all solid hard wood work. we have 3-4 china trim routers in the shop (rm120 each), if any dies or kaput, they get sent back for repair 30-50 bill then it can last another 6-9mths before next repair.

it means you got expensive taste, you need to find tools which have induction motor. they "sing" nicely.
I need to drill holes on toilet's tile. 6mm and 8mm hole size. The bosch gsr 120 gen2 drill power enough to do the task ? Or do i need to look for bigger brother gsr 180 li drill ? 30 Nm is enough to drill 8mm hole on tile ? I already have rotary hammer... I need some advice...thank you.

For tile, need to use tile bit and normal mode. So, this will do just fine. Then need hammer drill with masonry bit to drill in brick/cement. Normal drill will take time.
