There has been a lot of talk out there about carbide vs abrasive blades, which saw is better, how long does a blade last, how many cuts before it wears out, blah, blah, blah. I'm here today to answer as many questions about how to keep your carbide blade alive the longest when using a dry-cut saw.

The sliding compound miter saw might be a must-have item in your construction tools arsenal. A cut-above (pardon the pun) its "lesser" sisters the cut-off saw, chop saw and any miter saw without a slide, there are many reasons you might find you can't live any more without a sliding miter saw.

When looking for a heavy-duty drill, wouldn't you prefer the one that started it all? The Milwaukee Super Hole Shooter is what happens when you combine great power with great research and perfection, including an amazing 350 rpm, reversing 10 amp motor. At 18 1/2" and only nineteen pounds, you will soon see why this drill is simply a must-have.

When deciding on a panel saw, you should take several things into consideration before making a purchase. Efficiency of the job, amount of space the tool will take, and ease of the task are a few of those considerations.
