New tool Thursday - Game changer

[rolyberkin]

Have a busy day tomorrow so had to treat myself a day early, but what a game changer this is, I also have a multi tool for cutting but for house bashing this is the mutts nutts. I used it today to cut an access hole in chipboard flooring and set it to 19mm! Very impressed.

I can't see what that would do,that me old Stihl TS350 with a 12" table saw blade fitted,wouldn't...

FAR too much safety going on,there...

I have one of tbem... bought it to replace an old saw that died.
Its like a hot knife and goes through easy.
I used it to cut floorboards in line with joists. Saves taking whole lengths up.
Had it around 3 months and still working good after decent use. Blades still sharp.
The diamond blade is good too...
Not sure if screwfix sell small replacement blades though??

Wow, got to have one of them.

You CAN have too many tools you know!
Looks extremely pretty @rolyberkin - I can’t do without my multitool though for floor boards. It’d be like changing toothpastes and I’m far too long in the tooth to do that!

i bought a similat tool from wickes a couple of years ago. it's OK but max. cut depth is only 1/2" so useless fo floorboards. can see the advantage of the titan though. will be far quicker than a multitool for boards. same with all circular saws though. you have to cut into the adjacent boards to complete the cut in the one you want cutting.

Wearing ear defenders with the multi tool or and electric tool is a must - we all do, don’t we?
NeeeeeuuuuurrrNeeeeeuuuuuurrrrrr - aaargh!

Yes, you’d have to have a multi tool as well to finish the board off if not wanting to cut into the adjacent - I’ll stick with the multi tool but covet the mini saw with googly eyes!

@ £50 it only means missing 1 night at the pub, providing that that 1 night does not include a female companion. then all bets are off.

and the heinkel 111s have rolls -royce merlin engines. it's known as artistic licence.

Yes, I think one would augment (there's a good word) my Dewalt multi tool very nicely.

I think one has no propeller either, what a swizz.

I got a Lidl 85mm saw, cracking bit of kit and hasn't given me any problems in the couple of years I've abused it.

If you're already using Makita 10.8V tools, this saw is handy for floorboards. Was also available for the older style of batteries.
