Man is this saw ever a miracle for ruff carpentry!
Yesterday I took this saw out for its first spin and it is a real game changer for plywood replacement jobs.
it literally took half the time to install 40 sheets of plywood on the roof. As before you need to caulk line every cut and then
run the saw steadily on the line but now its so fast its crazy. Also with the massive power the saw gives off the cuts are a joke.
one huge plus point is you can set the depth of the saw so precisely that when you cut your pieces on the joists of the roof your not cutting deeper then the plywood and chewing threw nails that are imbedded in the joists , as I normally go threw 2 blades a job ,so I can see some cost savings in the future.
another point that should be mentioned is we used the saw for a entire day and never had to charge the batterys, which I was very impressed with , as to give a comparison I normally use 3-4 Milwaukee batteries a job with my 18v cordless saw.
anyways if any one is interested in the TSC for exterior sheathing work its better then you can imagine.
the only things I can recommend is
1. buy a second set of batteries just in case as it takes around 70min to charge the batteries , ( which is understandable for how much juice they hold)
2. you'll want a nice selection of rails. (32" 55" 75" 118" ) as you can get by with maybe just the 55" and 118" but its really nice to pull out the right rail for the right cut.
