    Re: Hilti vs. Milwaukee

    Re: stuck on a detail

    Curious what that framing looks like behind the drywall.
    If you don't want it to turn into a big project I would suggest going kent's route. There are some things you just can't polish.

    Re: Sub zero panel bit?

    kent,
    It should work. It's basically a 1/8" dado 15/32" deep and then a 1/4" rabbet 5/32" deep.
    I've done about a dozen of these. The only issue I see would be it wouldn't work on a door with a...

    I've done a number of composite decks with hidden fasteners. I have a few gripes. To me they are overpriced. The cost for a bucket of plastic clips makes me sick. Not saying the screw and plug method...
