First off, well, there are those who took a lot of time to make sure I understood things. This is my revenge.
Ummm- yeah, you bought all the goodies to go with the Milwaukee. So now you can sell it as a complete setup, for more money.
As well, yeah, practice with the more powerful tool is a good move. For instance, taking a big sander grinder to a piece of plywood and sanding off just one lamination, one layer, no more.I’m sure you can think of more. Do the same thing with the RO sander, they tend to be slower but a lot more controllable.
If you can find an older heavy duty Porter Cable, that’s what I have, I like them. No idea if they made them in 230V, but at least that gives you an idea what the better ones look like
Yeah, you see a lot of reccommendations for the full on industrial stuff. Well, every car guide suggests that you buy a Ferrari, even if what you’re doing with it is driving down to the shop for a loaf of bread. The thing is, a Hyundai or for that matter a bicycle will do the job just fine.
As well, if you ask a professional mechanic about wrenches, he’s going to say he loves his Snap Ons. As well he should, he is using them all day every day, the tiny incremental ways they are better matter to him and he only buys one, they are guaranteed forever. But for the price of one of those 10mm combination wrenches he has, I can get a complete set of wrenches that are only less good and are more than adequate for my infrequent motorcycle and small engine fixes.
Some woodworkers love their Festool tools. Yeah, but you have to be using them a lot ( at good wages) to pay for the things. Me, I get a lot of older stuff and fix it.
It’s hard for them, too, to take a step back and remember what they started with.
Anyhow-
hope that’s of use
