An orbital reciprocating saw moves in a more elliptical or oval shape rather than just up and down. This makes it more aggressive and gives it a faster cut. Straight reciprocating saws move on a single plane, back and forth.

How do I switch from orbital motion to straight line with craftsman dual motion model 315.116120?

Looks like a standard belt sander. If it does orbital as well there must be a switch on it. I can't find a manual.

Strangely, this is also listed as your model and this one is definitely a straightforward Orbital Sander.

Ah, I just noticed from the first link, the image is wrong and the parts schematic shows a plain orbital sander. It only has one function!

New APN info is not working complete

There are different types of APN set up for Straight Talk. My recommendation is that you add more APN from Straight Talk and select each one to troubleshoot. See, believe it or not, there different APN for different smartphone. You just need to select the right one.
Try this setting here if it's different from the one you have.

Head light type

If you can pull the bulb, you can take it in to the auto parts store for comparison. But any auto parts store should be able to tell you the correct replacement bulb with or without the old bulb. They'll just look it up for your car make and model in their parts computer system. I prefer to have the old part in hand for comparison, though. If you haven't removed a headlight bulb before, it's pretty straight-forward these days. The hardest part may be fitting your hand into the space so that you can pinch the tabs and pull the connector off. I had one car where I had to access the bulb through the wheel well by removing a panel. The bulb itself is typically "bayonet" mounted - usually twist counter-clockwise until it stops, then pull it out. My Mazda is much older, so I don't know the configuration of your headlight access. Too often these days you have to remove panels or other items in order to have access to the bulb. Hope yours is one of the easier ones.

Hello I have a compressor and my electric orbital sander has finally gone legs up. My question is if I get an air sander primarily for sanding wood is a straight line the best sort to get or are the...

I work in a wood working shop and we use orbitals on everything. You still will still sand with nice even strokes with the grain. It leaves a great finish. They are nice, light, and easy to use! They do use a lot of air though, so make sure your air compressor can handle the one you buy. If you compressor is constantly running you might have to take breaks so you do not burn it up. enjoy!

Blade won't stay straight

Use a higher quality blade, this will help.

It happens with a Jig saw. You have to mind the direction of the force you push on the unit.

A better blade will cut easier and faster and will be less likely to bend.

ALSO: this tool has orbital. This feature makes the unit cut much faster but is much less accurate for cutting. If you need to make a really straight cut, make sure orbital is off.

My Makita BJV180 jigsaw will not do elliptical cutting even though I turn the lever to the elliptical cut position.

this saw has 3 orbital settings and one straight line setting .. in orbital mode the blade moves forward slightly on the up stroke and back on the down stroke .. it may be difficult to see and may not be pronounced without a load ...
