  • I love that your Cool Tools videos include high quality, inexpensive tools that guys like me can afford. I also enjoy seeing the tools that I'll never be able to afford. I don't understand why so many woodworkers get their jealous little panties in a wad when they see a YouTuber using a tool that is beyond their budget. Some of that stuff is just really cool. I enjoy seeing them, even if I'll never own them. I think most of your viewers probably agree with me. It's just that the haters are always the most vocal.

    Wow, do i feel wise! I purchased this Milescraft track saw setup about 2 weeks ago. This is the 1st time I've picked out a cool tool before Stumpy shows it. I'm using a 6-1/2" Makita battery saw and it gives me a cut depth of about 1-3/8". That's plenty for any sheet goods I use, and I love it. No more rough cuts, then making a finish cut on thd table saw. I use a 60 tooth blade and my 1st cut IS the finish cut. Very satisfied!

    I'm not a woodworker. At best I occasionally tinker building simple but useful things out of wood. But this edition of Cool Tools has even me appreciating every item shown. And the tools are reasonably priced.
  • Tip for your viewers from Europe - The German brand KWB (Einhell) has Accu-TOP 3S Japan drills in its range. They are identical to the ones you present, and they are also produced by WoodOwl for KWB. The drills are really phenomenal, and I bought all versions of the diameters. One more piece of advice...since you've featured Fisch forstner drills a few times already. Fisch also makes their forged Black Shark drills (their top series) for the German KWB called the "KWB Speed ​​Forstner"...they are even a tad cheaper compared to the Fisch ones...and of course I bought those too from 15mm to 60mm diameter. I love watching your videos - keep it up... greetings from Slovenia.😃👍

    10:47 "its not a supernova, folks." I'm not gonna lie, the whole video was worth it just for that quote.
  • After watching Izzy Swan review the Wood Owl bits, I bought a 3/4" to drill dog holes in my new bench. I drilled 40 to 50 holes and the last hole was as clean as the first hole. I don't know what geometric wizardry is going on, but it works well. I now have several sizes and they are my go to drill for exposed holes. Thx.

    I bought a bottle of the Clean Armor matte finish and one of the overhead UV lights and can attest that it works very well. I put 3 coats on the maple pieces and plywood bottom of a custom, hidden kitchen drawer I made for a neighbor. It works exactly like they claim. That said, it is quite finicky to get a perfectly smooth finish as it doesn’t self-level very well. Once the light hits it, you’re getting whatever brush strokes, roller marks, and other imperfections you made in the final finish. I had the best results doing extremely thin coats and wiping it on with the Scott shop towels. Hence the 3 coats on the drawer parts. I did a little experimenting with thinning it, but that didn’t go so well. More testing is required, but I’m happy with it for my needs. Side note that the matte is still pretty shiny for anybody wondering.
  • @CadillacWaltz
    That wood finish would be perfect for stair treads and handrails. I am definitely going to try it.
  • @coreygrua3271
    So honest, so smart, and so patient with opposing comments. JH makes my woodworking better again and again.
  • @reloadNshoot
    I have had both a Festool Domino and track saw for about 15 years now, they are work horses in my shop. Long before it was cool because a guy on yt was using them. They simply work and now are copied. Its good to be the king!
  • @danalaniz7314
    I've seen a demo by the company and I was really intrigued but the cost scared me off. I'm glad that you posted and independent evaluation and explanation. I'm a lot more comfortable with the price and I could really use a solution without the VOC danger, smell and long curing time. Your comment about having to move stuff off your regular workspace to do finishing is my situation exactly. Thanks for the sane logical approach you have taken all these years.
  • I have the Milescraft track saw kit and like it very much. I found that trying to get the saw in exactly the same place was a challenge. Solved it with putting a plastic spacer on the base plate to get the saw mounted with the correct offset and absolutely parallel to the cut line.
  • @LeWoodCreativy
    I am really impressed with this track saw for the price! As a beginner, I was looking for a quality tool that wouldn't break the bank, and this saw fits the bill perfectly. The features are easy to use and the video instructions are clear.

    I do resin printing which uses UV light to cure the prints, and I've investigated the UV light and any associated dangers heavily. The wavelengths of light used are not harmful to humans and the intensity is low, as you said. You can buy UV that to sanitize, but those are much shorter wavelengths and higher intensity. Anyone who has stood under black lights knows that UV light can be perfectly save. The lights can be bright, and I wanted to be extra cautions with my eyes, so I did buy protective goggles that filter it out, but you're right, those lights are very safe. It reminds me of when I worked at the grocery story as a cashier, I would have people who just KNEW the scanners would irradiate their food and give us all cancer.
  • Yes to the $100 track saw gadget for a circular saw. I'm one of those people who have railed against super expensive track saws, and now, this is available. Kudos to Milescraft.
  • If you are worried about the UV lights being used, then consider that they are the same lights that are used all day long in Nail Salons, being used directly over skin, with the salon workers getting the most exposure.Yet, they are still OSHA compliant.
