China is a tricky market. Overall, it’s a weaker market and a declining build rate, which puts pressure on the suppliers. So there are a fight against — around volumes. So price pressure in China has started.

With the amount of power Milwaukee gets out of this saw, I think they could move up to a 10″ blade. For most of the work we see on residential job sites, you probably don’t need the additional capacity, though.

Bosch’s REAXX punches the blade down using a cartridge similar to what is used in airbag deployment.

The Ranger is likely going to surprise many with sales numbers. Posted by: just the truth | Dec 10, 2018

Our equity ratio, more or less on the same level as last year, 43% compared to 44% excluding IFRS 16.

Then you need to be very careful when you buy a GM product, you may get some Chinese, Korean, Polish or Mexican made product. GM will sell you the vehicle with the most profit to management with no concern for customers, employees or nationality. Nothing GM sells is entirely made in the USA. Toyota has the most American made products right now with the Avalon and the Camry. GM even changed the Buick Emblem from Red, White, and Blue, to Red, White, and Silver in deference to the Chinese. Did you notice?

There’s a certain tingle that sets in when you realize that a thriller is naturalistic enough not to rely on thriller tricks. It means that you may be denied some of the knee-jerk pleasures audiences have come to expect — the jump scares and violent climaxes. The tradeoff is that it’s a lot easier to [...]

“I’m predicting that I can reduce my manpower on my press brakes by four people once we get this one machine,” Eaton said.

As I mentioned, the C10RJ Hitachi table saw is powered by a direct drive universal 15-amp motor with soft start function and an electric brake. It pumps out 4,500 RPM compared to the 4,800 from DeWalt; 3,650 from Bosch’s 4100-09; 4,400 from Ridgid’s R4513; and 5,000 from Kobalt’s KT1015. An overload sensor protects the motor from damage. An oversized power switch featuring an emergency off safety cover protects everything else.

So there it is. The verb “brake,” as used in sheet metal shops, comes from a Middle English verb that meant “to bend.” In modern use, a brake is a machine that bends. Marry that with a modifier that describes what actuates the machine, what tools are used to form the workpiece, or what types of bends the machine produces, and you get our modern names for a variety of sheet metal and plate bending machines.

Like the road car, the Civic Type R TCR is a front-wheel-drive hatchback, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that feeds a turbocharger, but their power output differs significantly. The tuned-up TCR plops down 330 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, which flows downstream through a multi-disc clutch, a paddle-shifted Xtrac six-speed transaxle, and out to 18-by-10-inch OZ Racing alloy wheels.

Still, held up in runtime by the kitted 5.0 amp hour battery, it also came in a confident second place in cutting speed. With a kit price of $299 and a 5-year warranty at The Home Depot, it’s one of the best values in the group.
