Vehicle imports have increased by around 60% in the Cayman Islands over the last four years, Harris said, as he outlined the traffic problems that the driving public is all too aware of.

Additional Notes: This light-duty saw was outclassed by most of the tools in the test, but it’s not flawed. It could be a valid saw for occasional and/or lighter work.

Before machines came along, if someone wanted to bend sheet metal they’d attach an appropriately sized piece of sheet metal to a mold or a 3D scale model of the desired sheet metal shape; anvil; dolly; or even a forming bag, which was filled with sand or lead shot.

Our review sample Thesis OB1 had SRAM Force 22 shifters with a Rival 1 long cage rear derailleur that shifts across a wide-range SunRace 11-46 11-speed cassette.

A 24- to 30-tooth blade is great for ripping fast. Getting into the 60-tooth class and higher will get you cleaner results for finish work. We decided on a balance between the two and went with Diablo’s 40-tooth General Purpose Blade.

Because they’re not designed for driving on the left of the road. Errrr, it’s not rocket science.

And this won’t be limited to the precision sheet metal arena. At NASCC I visited Trimble’s booth and donned a helmet that showed the potential of augmented reality, overlaying a virtual building model over a real model of a building. A partnership between Trimble and Microsoft, this could be the next step in the evolution of building information modeling (BIM)

Skilsaw produced the only worm drive table saw in our group and we had high expectations, especially given the high RPM count. In the end, the power is definitely at the professional level and settled in tied for fourth overall with DeWalt. This was the lightest, most compact saw in the group. Like DeWalt, the lack of an outer housing leads to more efficient cooling but drops storage for an extra blade.

A West Allis man employed at a Germantown company was injured in a road rage-related shooting at around 6 a.m. Thursday during his morning commute, according to police. 

I think a study on the school buses should be done, I’m sure they could be run more efficiently to reduce traffic.

Skilsaw is using STAFDA 2018 as a launchpad for the new Skilsaw Worm Drive Miter Saw. Yep, they put a worm drive on a miter saw. Many of us in the office have been wondering if they would target this tool since the introduction of their portable and heavy-duty worm drive table saws. We use the heavy-duty model as our primary model, in case you’re wondering.
