Great review!!! Cant wait ti see the Ryopi Table saw review!!! Thanks

[@TBKHomeworld]

Thank you for the kind words! I have a couple of more projects I want to test the table saw on before I review it officially on the channel. Trying to make sure I test as many of the features as I can plus put it through the paces.

@@TBKHomeworld that’s great! I own a lot of Ryobi tools and for me they’re great. I’m an avid DIY’er plus I also do projects around the house. I have a Skil miter bevel saw and love it! I’m looking into getting a table saw and I’m undecided between the Skil or Ryobi

[@TBKHomeworld]

I completely agree that Ryobi tools are indeed great and it sounds like we do a lot of similar type stuff. Miter bevel saws are amazing and so powerful. I have the plug-in powered Ryobi sliding compound miter saw and it has made doing things like crown molding so easy. Since you are in the market for a table saw I will go ahead and give a lil' bit of advice from my usage so far. If you are going to be doing smaller projects then the Ryobi 18v is going to do a pretty good job overall. However, if you plan on trying to use it with larger items, like a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood, etc, then you will probably find it a bit lacking overall and you will absolultely have to build a working bed for it to help slide the larger items on. As a quick background, I have been blessed in my life to use massive old school table saws, where the work bed was 8 foot X 8 foot and it made for really easy work but could fling a bound board through a brick wall, to the the cheapiest table saw out there and it worked for ripping cedar planks, etc down to size. Like all of the other tools we own it is all about getting the tool that you need for the job so keep that in mind.

SO many missed opportunities for adding Michael Scott "that's what she said!" in this video 🤣🤣🤣

So true! :D

Nice review. Could you tell me the capacity of the battery that you used ? Any idea on how long it will run on the battery that you are using ?

[@TBKHomeworld]

In the video I used the 4Ah High Performance battery. I highly recommend going with this battery as it will operate it optimally where as the smaller 2Ah (or less) won't last nearly as long. I have not done any testing on how long it runs with a 4Ah battery as of the moment. I will say that I can easily use one 4Ah battery and blow the shop out, then blow off the driveway, and blow off the back patio....that is about 20 minutes worth of work...and I'm usually showing 2 bars left, sometimes it shows 1 bar left on the battery. Hopefully that helps.

@ thx a lot for your Quick replay. Helps me big time 👍👍👍

[@TBKHomeworld]

@PatrickVannie you are very welcome!

As a detailing fan, you see that rubber bumper nozzle on third party stubby nozzles for car drying(so you don't accidentally damage the paint). That being said, do you think this would be good for drying a car?

[@TBKHomeworld]

That is a great use case for the rubber tip!! IMHO this would do a great job blowing away water on large surfaces and getting into most of the areas like around windshield/windscreen wipers, grills, etc. Around very tight areas, like key holes, it would get the surface water easily but anything deeper in would probably require a more concentrated stream of air. If you end up testing one for this purpose please let us all know how it turns out.

[@stevenpoma4987]

Wouldn’t it be better to suck up compared to blow those projects? It would help mitigate the clean up.

[@TBKHomeworld]

Great idea! I have tried the vacuum method as well but what I have found easier for me is to blow it all off and then into a corner where I can vacuum it up. I have a vacuum hooked up to the sander but most of the little pant balls are too heavy and do not get sucked up....so it ends up just clogging the sanding disk if I go for too long. The 'blowing clean' option seems to work best in my situation.

[@Bill-y4h]

You don't sand paint off a large surface like doors , it will cost too much in clogged glass paper . Use a paint stripper or a heat gun and scrapper first then sand them .

[@TBKHomeworld]

I have an 'eraser' bar that can be rubbed on a spinning sanding disc that does a great job of cleaning it and digging out the clogs, look up "Gator Belt Cleaning Stick" if you haven't seen them before. I spent days on the first door I had to strip, heat was not an option as it kept bowing the metal door, I tried stripper but it required multiple applications as the door had a lot of layers of paint on it. In the end I scapped off what I could and the sander did a great job of smoothing out the top two layers of paint, got me a good surface to adhere fresh paint to, and allowed for a smooth even finish on it. Sometimes you just have to find something that 'works' given what situation you are in.
