The plaster saws I recall had a round blade that oscillated inside a
cover so that only like 1/4" was exposed and the oscillation was not
much so it would not damage skin if it hit, and I think they had a
vacuum attachment to suck up the dust. I remember wanting one of those
because I don't
I believe so. I had one of their biscuit joiners. I later moved up to a
Festool. OMG! What wonderful tools to work with! The Hazet of woodworking
tools, IMHO.

Yes, I have a corded model made by Fein (maybe the original maker of the type?)
and they are great for flush cuts and fine trim work, not sure I'd think of
reaching for it if I needed to cut openings in 3/4" subfloor but it would
probably get the job done.

Only we would remember the specific tool a doctor used on us in 1966. We are an
odd lot.

In 1966 he was using a toothy saw blade
Now that you mention it, I remember the Feins from my woodworking days. But as
I recall, they just had the triangular pad thing, not the current day “fingers”
with the teeth on the ends, right? I don’t ever recall seeing those for the
Feins.

They did. I remember the doc using a Fein to cut the cast off me in 1966,
IIRC. Twenty-five years ago I bought a Fein when it was on clearance,
from someplace or another. (Electric rather than pneumatic, which was
also available
Yeah, this was one of those, “Why haven’t I tried one of these things
before?!?!” moments. I’ve seen them promoted for trim work and such a lot, and
I can see why they would be super nice for that, but I hadn’t realy thought
about using them for demo or other rough work. We needed to cut some
Vibratory tools have been out for awhile but I don't think the cutters were
very good. Newer ones are much better and way more precise than you can be with
a sawzall.
I've got a Makita cordless one, its going to get exercised next month cutting
new heading ducts into the great northern estate.
Yeah, I got one of those a long time ago, too - the one with the fixed head. I
just needed a Sawzall equivalent for some demo work. It’s still in my toolbox
10 years later. I don’t use it much.
On a related note, has everyone discovered “multitools,” the things with the
blade that sticks out
I forgot about my recip saw. I got the HF one with the rotating head. Its
awfully convenient to be able to rotate the blade into position without having
to move the handle...

Years ago I
Years ago I bought a HF recip saw for $20 when the main ring gear in my old
(early 80s) Sears recip saw (rebranded Milwaukee) stripped. Parts for it NLA.
I figured the HF thing would last long enough to finish the job and here it is
like 12yr on, a bit worse for the wear but still recipping
I bought this one:

Between the saw and the battery and charger I could have bought a decent
gas-powered saw but I don't use them often enough and always end up having
hassles with old fuel, difficult
Which Atlas saw do you have?
We've got the Bauer ultra cheapie one which has been a solid saw other than the
tensioner stinks. The Atlas appears to have a more convention chain tensioning
system.
I really like electric for a trimming saw because of the way the saw stops
pretty much
I got one of those grinders when they were on sale for $9.99. I figured if I
got one job done with it, it was worth it. I don't use it very often but it's
still working fine.
I bought a Hercules battery powered impact driver and built a deck with it last
summer. Never gave any hint of
That’s pretty much the same for my RO. I dropped it once whcih broke one of the
bolts that holds the case halves together. I taped it up with some electrical
tape to take the stress off the remaining bolt and all is well. And this
probably happened 4-5 years ago.
I’m gradually shifting over to
I was telling a friend last week that Harbor Freight tools have really improved
in the last 10 years and I think the electric tools are where the real
improvement has taken place.
I've got one of the very cheap Central Electric angle grinders, I think it was
$20 or less, that I bought to cut
I've got an RO polisher from HF that’s easily 10 years old and still going
strong. I would buy another if this one died.

Yeah the Bauer tools are "OK" probably decent enough for household use.
Hard to go too wrong at that price.
