This should be delivered early next week. It's going to save a ton of room in my small ass shop, and it's going to be nice having a 12" jointing capacity. I got the spiral cutting head, so it should be way quieter than my old planer.

2" taller 15mm wider... Actual tread.

Not looking forward to mounting them.

Then I need to print some fenders.

8 days from china. Clearly not having a ton of problems with China post

jeebus. That's sweet. I don't think I am going to have room (or the cash) for a jointer, but who knows. One thing I know is that it won't be as fancy as that. I think my first purchase is going to be a planer in my journey of woodworking. I have all the saws I need, just need flat cutting teeth blades. oh, and clamps, I need lots of clamps too. LOL

Shouldn't you use the jointer before planing?

[firebane]

I've had this for a bit but its been shut in the garage for some work that was being done. Work is done.. can now drive

Typically yes, but you can use a planer with a known-flat sled as a quasi-jointer if you don't have the space for a real one.

A planer with a homemade jointing sled will be a good start. I used that for a while before I got my first jointer, and even then had to use it for wider pieces. Lots of cheap used 6" jointers out there. I had an old 1950's rockwell that had been retrofitted with a helical head.

My advice is to buy a cheap used 12" planer (ridgid, mastercraft, dewalt, delta, etc) and use it until it limits you in some way. Then you can figure out how much you want to spend on it's replacement. I stared with a Dewalt 735, then a Makita 2040, and then this.

4km/h faster and doesn't get stuck or put me on my ass with the ice at sidewalk ramps. I'll call it a win

And it looks better well for a Segway anyway

Sounds like you're lookin' for a cat, bro. Don't worry about the stigma of being a cat guy...it's 2020 man. I have two!

Another option if you want a pet that cleans itself and is litter trained would be a rabbit, I've had my bun for 3 years now. Bonus: They don't have sharp ass claws

More turd polishin'.

That is my plan. I figure I can make do with the planer and a sled to make it act like a jointer. I won't be doing anything too big to start, so it should be fine. And yeah, I am looking for a used planer first, but, I may just buy a new one. If I buy used, chances are I am buying a new set of blades too, which will probably put me in the neighborhood of a new one.

I still have my Makita 2040, I wanted to give it a clean before selling it. 110v, 16" wide and I have an extra motor and 2 or 3 sets of knives. Used they're the same price as a dewalt 735 and a waaayyy better machine.

you tease me. I think the 735 is over hyped, but it is a nice unit. having said that, 16" planer would be pretty sweet.

Just ordered a new set of SAE/Dot approved yellow fog lights for the 4Runner. These Diode Dynamic SS3 pods test way higher than other brands that cost 2-3x as much, and also fit in the stock location. Got them 20% off, so ~$215Cdn.

I am hearing many great things about the DD SS3 pod lights. The way these fog lights completely flood the foreground is just amazing!

Upgrade from my 2013 RMK.
2017 Summit 850 165. I also got to ride the 2020.5 Turbo 850 this past weekend. It makes some wicked noises.

Nice, those dust cyclones are a good idea. I'm considering one of the really big trash-can size for yard cleanups. Think one would work for pine cones, needles and leaves?

[spikerS]

Maybe not this particular setup, but, you can easily make these yourself, and using like a 85L garbage can, I am sure you could make it work, assuming you have a large enough hose for the debris to flow into.
