kmmcrafts Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 My DeWalt didn't like much below 25-30F it'd spit and spudder for the first couple of cuts.. I didn't like running it that way so I put a heater back by the motor and let it warm up a little before I started sawing... Then I bought my Hawk.. I think that thing would run in anything.. but I do know it wouldn't run when the power went out once, jbrowning, John B, bobscroll and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I I don't know how my Hawk responds to cold weather. My shop never gets below 50F. It's me that does not handle cold well. I would do well in Arizona but it's my wife that would die there. She keeps our house cold enough to hang beef. tomsteve, OCtoolguy and John B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'm not sure about the saw but I can tell you for sure that I'm not good below 60 degrees. I lose all interest in most everything when it gets too cold. That's why I live where I live. The good old Pacific Ocean acts as a radiator and keeps the temp swings pretty mild. innar20 and tomsteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even live in California and I'm no good below 60 degrees. My shop is in my basement. If it was in an unheated garage or shed, I'd never set foot in it between November and April.

Well, I'm not lucky enough to have heat or a/c but most of the time it's pretty comfortable in my little shop. My biggest problem is that is under a part of the aluminum driveway awning. Not sealed in any way from the ambient air. But, all in all, it's workable. If I had to live where it gets freezing cold or oven baking hot, I'd just sit in the living room and watch tv.
