Like Bosch, Makita uses a metal plated miter gauge with screw-based stops at common angles. In fact, they’re identical. The 2705 also connects the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls on an aluminum assembly as one piece rather than separating them for an easier connection to the riving knife.

The Echo is the overall winner with top scores in both cutting speed and runtime. It was fast and smooth through all cutting chores. It felt the most capable of maintaining its chain speed under load without any hesitation. This gave it the feel of a real pro saw for lack of a better description.

There’s only one dust port on the Hitachi like most jobsite table saws. DeWalt stands out with one above its removable blade guard. Finally, the saw is covered by Hitachi’s 2-year limited warranty. Now let’s cut some stuff up!

Jamyn Rukavina, a customer of Jen’s Sweet Treats, 4745 S. Packard Ave., has started a GoFundMe to raise money to purchase Clark a new car.

Bosch’s Gravity-Rise stands are the highest rated among our Pros every time they show up for a shootout.

L I N C O L N. At the rear of the Corsair, the letters of the Lincoln name are widely spaced across the deck. But these aren’t just pieces glued on haphazardly. The team took into account the curvature of the rear panel and adjusted the shapes of the letters so they would appear as linear as possible.

This 12 speed is a lot of hype with relatively little practicality. @Dave of course you are correct. A combo of 34 small ring and a cassette (available in Shimano 105) that goes to 34 offers a 1:1 gear ratio. The 46/33 crank with a 10/33 cassette offers the same 1:1 ratio. It will not be any easier to turn the cranks! The 12 speed seems like it’s fixing a problem that doesn’t exist… the spacing between gears needing to be closer? If it were offered in a road Eagle (50t cassette) option, or even 42t or 46t, then maybe there’d be an argument.

Not that I’m expecting to buy the AXS group because everything about it is disturbing to me, but trainer compatibility. DCR, I know you gave a list of the companies that said they will offer the XDR driver body, but question is when. I have a Neo and have been waiting more than a year for a better axle adapter from Tacx. The one I want is already being shipped with the new Neo 2 but when I inquired about it @ Tacx before Christmas they said it would be available on their website soon. It is still not available. Seems like the bike industry is developing stuff faster than we can keep up sort of like electronics and computers. By the time you collect what you need it’s obsolete. I finally was able to get the ETap HRD WiFli group a year ago and it’s obsolete already.

Now, this isn’t terribly different from Shimano’s Syncro Shift.  It’s actually sort of a blend of Shimano’s two full and semi modes, since it can be configured to jump either one, or two gears as part of the shift. Whereas in Shimano’s case they offer two distinct modes for that piece. Frankly rather subtle differences.

Jeep’s new pickup, however, comes with unique styling that reflects the brand’s DNA from all angles and traces its origins back to the 1940s. All the reference points are there: Jeep grille, round headlights, outer latches on the hood, retractable windshield, removable doors, swing door in the rear. The Gladiator is 100% Jeep.

While some grinders have mechanical brakes that stop a rotating wheel or blade instantly, electric brakes (which make up a majority of these systems) rely on electricity to stop the blade.

The Greenworks Digi Pro and Kobalt saws have electronic power buttons which add a distinct step, while the Echo and DeWalt saws were designed with mechanical lockout switches (with DeWalt’s being the most foolproof). But with the EGO, Greenworks Pro, and Oregon saws, ou can pretty much just grab and go.
