Congrats bro. The Jet Thickness planer seems to be popular these days.

The Ryobi biscuit joiner looks cool too.

[rolly]

thanks man.

yep, the biscuit joiner's pretty cool, the cutter is still quite sharp.

[beebeenator]

Congrats Rolly!

Kailangan mong gawan ng furniture yung spouse mo :) To justify !!!

Well kasi naman yung mga furniture na ni quoquote namin sa Focolare isnt cheap.. so i just tell my wife. I-pambili ko nalang ng tools tas ako na gagawa ng furniture :)

[rolly]

yep, im definitely gonna build furniture for our house, papalitan ko na ung mga mdf na gamit. . . before i hear "ilan ba talagang klase ng power saw ang kailangan mo?!?!" . . .

. . . eh i still dont have my table saw.. . .

[timber715]

nice purchase Rolly, do Practice a little extra caution on the CMS, now maybe lncc has an extra blade guard cover that he isn't using and might be willing to trade for something...
how much did you get the biscuit cutter btw, and what biscuits does it need?

[rolly]

got it for 1k, dont know yet what type of biscuit, but it has adjustable cut depths so i suppose it can take more than 1 type of biscuit

[timber715]

thickness of the biscuits is important coz #0 lang ang available locally...

[JayL]

Is the biscuit joiner the same model as the one Chisel have?

[timber715]

I think so, but best if he can answer it...

[JayL]

Ryobi seems to be popular. The prices are very good too. I wonder how much their angle grinders sell and if these are 50/60 hz.

[timber715]

I actually want a biscuit cutter and at 1K, I would probably get one soon... will check Makita too, I know they have a BC too...

[rolly]

Is the biscuit joiner the same model as the one Chisel have?

based on the pics i think they're 2 different models

[timber715]

based on the pics i think they're 2 different models
oo nga ano, hopefully chisel chimes in with a picture too... Rolly, can you send me the link to the Ryobi guy you bought it from?

[rolly]

here it is timber

http://dettedoromal.**************/

also, got the mortising kit from them. . .

[timber715]

I cant seem to find his items for sale other than baby products rolly...

[jarod]

He also has a Ryobi table saw which I am very tempted to get.

Btw, rolly where did you meet and how where you able to test the tools?


@timber: visit this (http://dettedoromal.**************/index.php/view+user+classifieds/id/197955/dettedoromal?next=1)

[timber715]

sorry kung OT... :)
thanks Jarod...

[jarod]

You're welcome timber. Actually among the many Ryobi/Ozito items scattered around sulit, here are my faves:


Circular saw
Random Orbital Sander
Router/Laminate trimmer
Mortising Kit
Scroll saw!!!

I'm just worried since these tools are priced very low and was sent here from the Australian market.

[timber715]

also Rolly, can you check if it is 50 or 60Hz... thanks

[beebeenator]

Timber, its a bug in sulit thats why yo only see his baby product hahah. go back to any item selling page he has. scroll down and find his info box. Fly the mouse over his username without clicking and a menu of classified ads will appear. Click that.

As master Yoda says, "Hmmm... I smell a sulit shopper in you" :p

Please do update us about your SS and your blade replacement. I'm very interested in this Ryobi Scroll Saw (http://www.**************/index.php/view+classifieds/id/2258229/RYOBI+SCROLL+SAW) but at 4K, I'm torn between this and a brand new Jet just liek yours.

[bbn]

Do NOT buy Ozito unless you are desperate. They may look pretty much the same as other good too brands however the quality of the materials is of a lower quality. The plastic is softer as are the castings.

Sorry Rolly but I don't have a spare blade guard I know of right now but if I do find one I'll let you know. In the meantime, please be very very careful. It would not be terribly difficult to make one yourself I think.

I have the same biscuit joiner. Work well enough as far as I can tell.

Ryobi angle grinders ... most of my tools are of these brands however kind of as a rule I don't select these brands for angle grinders. Angle grinders are brutal tools by nature so my angle grinders have only been LG and B&D. I'd really like a Makita but ... If anyone does use a Ryobi angle grinder please tell me how it goes.

[jarod]

bbn,

Are you referring to ALL Ozito for that matter? If that's the case, how about the Ryobi's? Are they better or at least at par with the other entry level brands?

[rolly]

also Rolly, can you check if it is 50 or 60Hz... thanks

ere. . .

ryobi epj800
240V
50-60Hz
800w
no load speed - 11k rpm

[rolly]

He also has a Ryobi table saw which I am very tempted to get.

Btw, rolly where did you meet and how where you able to test the tools?


@timber: visit this (http://dettedoromal.**************/index.php/view+user+classifieds/id/197955/dettedoromal?next=1)

jarod, we met at trinoma, re tests, didnt test on site, can be replaced if there's a problem.

natatakot ako kumuha 2nd hand table saw eh. . . will just wait for panda's jet, un lang kaya ng simpleng taong tulad ko. . hehe

[bbn]

Yes based on my experience Ozito tools are very much inferior to Ryobi and GMC. Powercraft seems ok but I don't have much experience with those. I guess you could say I've a good amount of experience with these because I used to buy, refurbish, repair and sell these. On a scale of 1 to 10, with Makita at 10, I put the Ryobi, GMC and Ozito at 7-8, 6-7, and 3-4. Those at 1 are the "counterfeits" that were mentioned on another thread. My scale is not based on feature set but rather the quality of materials and workmanship.

[bbn]

Is this the table saw you are referring to Rolly?

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/lcasambre/shoptools/tablesawgif.jpg

This is exactly the same saw I salvaged the saw mechanism I used in the TS I show in my workshop thread. As others have said, you get what you pay for. The reason these saws are less expensive than say the Jet or Bosch is that their mechanism is made from stamped sheet metal instead of castings. While the stamp metal sheets used are of a significant gauge, I pretty sure they are not as rigid as those that use castings. What I find wanting is really that the curved rack gear used to adjust the angle is made of plastic and the locking mechanism uses a cam which at least on the saw I have does not lock as firmly as I'd prefer.

[bbn]

Here's something I highly recommend:

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/lcasambre/shoptools/c19e3ef8f39a864820156eec555661a2.gif

I have 2, maybe 3, of these and I use them a lot. I had to re-glue the pads and these do get worn down over time but this is to be expected. The only major problem is getting the Velcro backed sanding disks. I had to import my stock from the U.S. I think they are available in Binondo. Be conscious though that the disks do cost about 30%-50% more but for me that's ok because having these makes sanding bearable.

Oh I should also say I find the sanding results of these better than those rectangular ones. I have one of those too but I don't use it anymore.

it's not really just 2nd hand ryobi saws, but all surplus table saws (it's just that most surplus table saws that we see around are ryobis). im just not knowledgeable and skilled enough yet to tune and repair and figure out potential disasters from these hardcore surplus tools.

and also, knowing that i'lll be using the ts a lot, im more keen on getting a new one.

that sulit seller has a ryobi thicknesser for 5k, but i still got a new jet because of my expected usage frequency, sana lang it can really live up to my expectation (tool lifetime and overall wa-bang)

[beebeenator]

Rolly

before you do get the saw from Panda you have to test the flatness of the table.. it is VERY crucial. otherwise you will NEVER get squared cuts without a sled. my problem now i can do not so square rips which is pissing me off real bad.

this is why i wanted to make a new surface for my ts.. just for the sake of ripping

[timber715]

it seem Ben that Rolly already got one... :)

[beebeenator]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okok that was for effect :)

[timber715]

btw Rolly, you wouldn't want wa-bang on your powertools.... hahahaha

[beebeenator]

HAHAHAA oo nga kung nag wa-bang yung tools natin.. mahirap na..

[rolly]

it seem Ben that Rolly already got one... :)

Ala pa sir, sana nga eh meron na

[beebeenator]

Rolly mag ryobi ka nalang. Apparently MADAMING spare parts sa manila

or you could try yung Jet 315s sa panda din.. but you have to check the table flatness as well. just to be sure. yung 315s may dedicated sliding table that seems to be ALOT better than the mlt100

[rolly]

how much kaya for the jet 315?

[beebeenator]

15 k ata or 18

but WALANG miter slots....

[beebeenator]

this is the saw

http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Jet-JTS-315-S-Site-Saw-Bench-32026.htm

the reviews are pretty good. its not a sliding table pala but a dedicated sliding miter slot that runs on bearings! Torque table saw sa electrowerk is probably the exact same thing as this saw... sells almost the same as well

[timber715]

Torq is a similar ts, but very different in many ways. seems to be designed for cutting sheet good...
