As long as the pins of the tool fit on the board, you can use it. When it comes to using it for 1x material, use the pins on the left or the right side of the tool to use the smaller dowels. I hope this answers your question. If not, just let me know.
This is my 2nd time taking advantage of Ryobi Days at Home Depot! This yr I got the big box ($199.00) of 6 tools, 2 batteries, charger, and a nice bag for all of them, since my tools were stolen during my move! Thx u Ryobi AGAIN! ♥️
Oh man, sorry to hear about your tools. I am glad that you were able to get in on it this year. I look forward to it every year, it's like my Christmas!
Just purchased this tool and the spindle locked up tight after about 10 seconds of operation. I've never used a polisher before, so I carefully followed the manual's directions. At 4:07 you stated the manual instructs you to let the machine cool down if you use it 6 hours continuously. The manual that was included with my polisher states to stop the machine for cool down after 10 minutes of continuous use. The time difference was quite a lot, so I had to go back and reread the manual to make sure I had understood. I hope you've had better luck over this past year of use - I would be interested to know if you've had any issues. I'll be returning my for an exchange as it seems, for the money and the reviews I've read, it should be a good tool.
Oh man! I am sorry to hear that this happened to you. I have not had any problems with mine (Knock on wood). On a positive note, it happened quickly and you were able to get an exchange without any hassle. One of the difficulties that comes when I recommend tools is that there is always the 1 bad apple that destroys the whole bunch.
Top to top…that’s such a CRUCIAL piece of information to have when edge jointing with this. Thanks for illustrating that. The directions that come with the kit are super clunky to go through. Thanks man!!
Definitely the best/clearest set of instructions I’ve seen. Have used the jig several times following your lead and it’s easier/better than the way I was utilizing it. Thank you.
You are correct... I didn't buy the high performance set and was going from memory. LOL. I found a video from 2023 and it was the 6, 4, 2 ah batteries. I will made an edit in the video description, and thanks for pointing that out.
You are absolutely right! The Swanson speed square is the tool that everyone should buy as soon as they make their first cut. They hold up through all kinds of abuse. I've never bought one that wasn't square. And they are not that expensive.
Thanks for your concern. There are more videos coming. Took a break during the winter. These videos are a lot of work.. LOL. Also caught up on some video game time with my grandson. Putting together my summer line up now. Back to the grindstone. Anything you would like to see?
I am a professional painter. I have many professional spray guns such as Ani, Rongpeng, Wagner, Graco, Anest Iwata. This device comes in the same shape under different names. Mine is from Taiwan and I bought it on Amazon as an extra for painting window and door frames. Honestly, I have mixed feelings. This is a spray gun with an unusual shape and excellent balance. When we hold it with a full tank, we don't feel the weight at all. It is easy to use, sprays paint well, but unfortunately it has some drawbacks. The first problem - when unscrewing the metal nozzle housing, remember to keep the trigger pressed. The same must be done when screwing the housing onto the thread. The reason - the thin needle often unscrews and blocks the hole, preventing spraying. The second disadvantage is the most serious - the knob + mechanism regulating the needle movement is made of poor quality plastic. Too soft plastic and it works unintuitively, turns hard or gets stuck even when we approach the upper limit. This means that the device often does not spray paint at all when the trigger is pressed (the paint is always diluted). And a tip - When adjusting this knob, you cannot keep the trigger pressed. You can break the above mechanism .
@@ngockhanh214 1 002 / 5 000 For DIY painting, you can use various shapes and quality tools - brushes, rollers, spray guns and airless spray pumps. The most common DIY painting options are fences, low facades, walls inside houses and used (usually old) furniture. Now what method you use depends only on you, your skills, knowledge, practice and type of paint. Simple is always the best - that's my motto. It is always best to paint furniture using the spray method. If a spray gun is used, it is important that it has several nozzle sizes, adjustable spray width and a brushless motor with a power of 600+ watts. This is more important to me than the logo and company of the device I want to use for painting. Next, the quality of the components and their ease of use (practicality) are important. Personally, I am a supporter of the "WAGNER" brand, although many painting products of this brand are more complicated to use. I think I gave good advice.
Thanks for video and follow up. What tool did you use for the pocket holes? And if I wanted to go the dowel route would the Milescraft Jointmate do the job. Thanks
I use the Kreg K4 pocket hole jig. The newer model/upgrade to this is the Kreg 720. The pocket holes reinforces the dowel joining, so I would say that you would want to use them together to create a sturdier table top. Dowels, in essence, create an alignment for joining your material. Whereas the pocket hole screws will help "clamp" the material together.
@@SDWI-Woodworking Thanks for the reply. I am referring to laying 3 - 2x8 boards on the flat and joining them together to make a make an approximate 21" wide flat table top. Thanks again.
@egoire7954 Oh, absolutely. That is exactly what it is made for. Use the 3/8" dowels for 2" material. I should also note that you would want to strengthen it with some pocket screws. Check out my "How I make a Tabletop" video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vSvVzP7_cyA.html.
Glad you enjoyed it. As for Mitred pieces, no, it doesn't do that. There are some that you can buy that will allow it. I would be more apt to do a spline on a mitred piece. I have a spline jig video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QnRYDEge8jA.html
You're welcome. As for the vintage drill, I buy them at the Goodwill all the time. Those things are like tanks and they got new life being able to use the new batteries.
Good video, but why does everybody only use the center one in these tutorials? Can you use the left and right one? Also when you twist it to find center. When I turn it, the holes are either right or left of center. Is there a trick to this?
There is. Instead of trying to explain it I will give you a link to the manual. Scroll down to page 5 and in the lower right hand corner is a diagram that will tell you how to position the jig for 1/4" and 5/16" holes. www.milescraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/1309-1359-DowelJigKit-Manual.pdf
Haven't had much of a problem with that. Make sure that you put the bit all the way in so that that the "point" is in the wood before starting your drill.
Great video, very helpful. I got one of these Milescraft jig sets for Christmas and I've yet to use it, my projects don't usually require dowels but.. you've inspired me! I'm gonna have to try it out.
Just bought one of these and never did anything with dowels, very clear explanation. I am joining chair arms at 45 degree angles, is it the same process?
Pencils are funny. Kind of like a squirrel with his nuts. I never remember where I set my pencil down but I have so many laying around my shop, I always seem to have one on hand. You have Good info for new woodworkers. I am 70 and have been both a hobbyist and a professional woodworker most of my life. Somewhere along the path I even picked up a minor degree in wood products technology. If I could impart a bit of my wisdom and experience to anyone starting out I would tell them to learn to use basic hand tools first. Don't rush into getting power tools. Mastering hand tools like a chisel, hand plane, hand saw and even a hand drill or brace and bit will serve you well throughout your life. It even helps understanding how to correctly use power tools later as you transition to those. I have many power tools and love them , so don't get me wrong. Power tools are marvelous. But being able to do basic tasks with hand tools is a blessing. Keep up the great work in your teaching.
