I have the previous version made by Chicago electric
It works great but the motor sounds like a box of rocks.... compared to my Milwaukee.

Yeah, mine runs true and strong - probably 10+ blades and hundreds of cuts and still working well. If I ever learn to stop bending blades when I jam it on a cutoff I'd be really happy but otherwise good to go.

Mine is the Bauer, but man - it sounded like a box of rocks too. So much so I swore something was grinding so I pulled it all apart to check - even with the wheels off it sounded horrendous. Seems to have calmed down some (or my deafness combined with tuning it out over time).

Re: New House - New Garage - Thoughts and Ideas Appreciated
If I could give one piece of advice, it would be to strip everything off the walls and install a french cleat system. It's a bit more work to make up all your individual holders for whatever you have, but you'll love the adjustability and cleanliness of it. You never have to worry about something not fitting on the shelves because you can make the shelves to fit whatever needs stowed away.
I've never met anyone that's put up a french cleat system and come to regret it. The only real downside to them is that you can't simply go to the store and buy different organizer add-ons like you can with track board and peg board. The upside is that they are infinitely stronger, better looking and functional than the mass produced sheet goods.

I don't think that the subject in question needs any "enhancements".....
That cleat system is pretty cool. I've seen it used for mounting cabinets, but this is the first time that I've seen it used for individual tools. Pretty creative idea.
