I've never seen a robertson screw, but we do get the bits in driver kits

thank you for your videos. I've always wanted an outdoor clothesline and now I feel confident enough to install one.

Beautiful job. How do you attach the two frames together?

It has a seal lid you can still use it within a week. I had an open pale of Aquaphalt 4.0 (smaller size) and still usable after 2 months. You can lay on water puddle. Some other guy's 4.0 job: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sd_SHfBmE70.html

I love my three XTool lasers. Needed something to do during the shutdown so I started with the 10 watt diode. Just a basic unit. Put extensions on it and learned to use. It was before Christmas I had people asking me to make them gifts. Guess what they wanted to pay me. Paid it off within a couple of months. Bought the 20 watt diode next, same thing more power and it cut faster. My husband has lathes and makes beautiful bowls. I saw the P2 and was in awe of the curved surfaces feature. I thought I can engrave on his hand turned bowls, pencils or pencil holders. The P2 became my 3rd it is a CO2 laser and just stepped things up a notch. I wanted to be able to cut clear and blue acrylic. It does the trick. I also use it to cut a black acrylic with white core which my husband uses as medallion’s for some of his pieces. I am happy with my choices and have refrained from more as a hobby it keeps me busy. The P2 makes beautiful trophies and such for a side gig. Plus I am having fun.

awesome video, thanks

What about how to add the rope into the elevator shaft no how?

Great job,

Wonderful! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for this very helpful, music-free tutorial.

Xtool link is throwing a 404 (for me at least)

You has the circle layer on score not cut. The helmet was on cut .

This is an affiliate link for the xTool S1 laser cutter/engraver. You could also just google the company and model if you'd rather not use an affiliate link. I'm fine with that! www.xtool.com/?ref=lweexfit& This is the image I used to create my design popcornerreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/star-wars-mandalorian-helmet-file.png popcornerreviews.com/star-wars-mandalorian-helmet-file/

The diffrence id untel a few years ago in the rest of the world a torques bit was one of those damd things I don't have a driver for, which robertsone still are.

Props to a Canadian for grudgingly admitting Tors is better. (Well, he didn’t go that far). I’ve used both for years and Torx is definitely my choice. But I’m an American. Tee hee

European here. I only knew torx (and flatheads & philips) until now. One thing that I experience with torx regularly is: It's really hard to gauge the correct bit size by looking at a torx screw (I know that I always have to go 2 sizes bigger than I think it is). My feeling says that the robertson doesn't suffer from this "problem" quite as much because of its simpler shape. What's the experience of a robertson user in this? I'm really interested. Also: how well does it go, if you use a driver that is too small for the robertson screw? Using too small bits is THE way to destroy torx screws although they can take a bit of misuse.

Great video. Also a "I don't care. I don't want to!" Straight knife jointer t-shirt would be awesome! 😂

This was helpful, thank-you!! I wish I had seen this BEFORE I ordered this part from Toyota Canada at $60 for one....sigh....

Exactly what I would have done!!!…Looks good!!!

Great little project for oldies like me who are new to woodwork. This is perfect for stands for my collection of planters and pots outside to raise the back ones up so they can be seen.

Its like getting inflated chicken on the market full of water to raise the price per weight and once rostisseried one is left with so much less ....🤔😡

So when are you going to start selling these tool stands? Your work is beautiful. You had me when you rounded off the ends. Now that was it. So what does the little woman think of the stand?

I was gifted one from a house I bought and the previous owner left it. It worked for awhile but started making the noise. I mist have gotten to it too late because even after doing all this the noise persisted and eventually i started to smell hot metal. Bearings are probably done for. Maybe there is a replacement part on eBay 😢

Robertson is simpler and works well in high-torque applications.

Would you advise against using this blade for crosscutting?

OMG ... Thank you for sharing this. I was at a complete loss as to how to replace my busted cable inherited in the old house I bought.

good stuff!

wouldn't be cheaper doing with concrete? Cement, sand, gravel.?

That was interesting Art! Thanks. JimE

Great product good review!

huh? I'll have to look up its material compatibility list/chart. -Is there a maximum gap -to- it can bridge?- (edit:) The gap I have to fill exceeds the specified _sieve_ size Aquaphalt passes through. Appears to be demonstrated adhering to a sound layer asphalt or concrete, so I _still_ need to (not be lazy and) build up a supporting bed in the bottom of the gap (and probably extract the pseudo-stucco shell). (...every week;) I've started filling in the gap around my driveway with washed pulverized gravel and sand (donated by the city road works, to my lawn...) to replace the composting debris and weeds. But that patch material might be a better defence against water and ants - Or motivation for me to figure out how to harvest the remaining gravel that the leaf blower and the city's vacuum-tractor-thing didn't. [our] Builder company used 'something - mud' (I suspect "the new guy" put actual mud into the mix, to dress up the foundations), then [the builder's] warranty company built up a significant grading difference on top of what the builder's left (while re-patching areas they noticed). Between ants preferring to nest under it and settling pulling the driveway away from the walls. it has peeled off in large flakes around the edges revealing a large gap around the edges.

Hey Art, like any good product, "buy once cry once" OH, are you going to have plans available for your asphalt tamper? ?? ???

I agree, good value when it lasts and performs well.

There seems to be a lot of new desktop lasers being released these days. It's always fun to have a new tool in the shop.

Thanks for this! Also not sure if this is a factor cause I’m a year late to this video - you’re not supposed to run a dust collector with the blower active as well.

This is my issue exactly! Thank you.

I think torx wins in standard hand driving in electronics and soft applications.

Great video. That looks like a solid unit. When your smoke extractor starts beeping let me know and I'll tell you what I do!

$700US for what is a fan and a HEPA filter(s)?

Techmoan reference!

Fun to have a new tool in the shop! Hope you get the air assist in soon and really good call to get the air filter with it. Pretty expensive though. Could you go over making a DIY version with some activated charcoal furnace filters? Is this unit powerful enough to engrave brass? I think a brass medallion with black lettering would look real classy on walnut pieces.

The Robertson, or square-drive screw, seems to stay better seated when aiming and driving wood screws.

Snapped/broken plenty of Torx bits...never a Robertson.

Beautiful end to a table worth saving. I have a bar table that I have kept because it has the same beautiful grain. Wanted to sell because of space but hated the idea of it being abused. Leaf could be well gone a decade ago or snug in some inconspicuous spot.

Thanks man A*****

Torx is harder on metal because the shape is sharper so it's weaker, you need quality driver good machining, it's a more expensive and demanding design. Try making drivers and screws with the same cheap iron sloppy shape and Robertson is winning any contest. 90 degrees is the best angle. Smaller makes the driver weak. Bigger makes the driver slip and dull. I have ruined some hex screws and some allen drivers. I turned super rusty old square nuts with loose tools, NEVER failed.

Discovered Torx screws 30 years ago, stopped using Robertson screws ever since.

Very useful video. Glad I watched

Good video. Smart man. Thank you from canada
