Hello @Padster Are you sure OpenBOM is actually able to produce the cut list? I have used OpenBOM in the past. It could do the bill-of-materials / parts-list but it could not produce the actual "Cut List". I.e. it could not show how to cut a set of parts from a set of available stock like...

Hello @Ollie78, If you manage to remember the name of Fusion 360 cutlist plugin, please can you share it here? I have been looking for one for years but so far have not found one that is usable. Have to resort to using a separate piece of software (Gary Darby - CutList) for cut list generation...

It may be worth clarifying that while it is possible to produce "Parts List" with Fusion 360 - AFAIK - it does not support "Cut List" mentioned in the original post. - Parts List - list of parts with dimensions - Cut List - a diagram which helps to figure out how much lumber is required and how...

Ignoring the price - if it is 230V Maxvac version with 2000W power take off then (on paper) it is indeed a better option than the switch discussed in this thread. For anyone wondering - cables to Master and Slave receptacles of the switch are 0.75mm and the mains one is 1.0mm

I was under the impression that 1st gen Minis had either CVT (with Motorola TCU/TCM and bad reputation) or Aisin/automatic. It is my understanding that buyers of 1st gen Mini are usually specifically looking for Aisin rather than CVT versions. Do not know much about the Mini though, so the...

Hello Gerry If you are considering a vehicle with CVT transmission - have a look at what auto mechanic with 50+ years experience has to say about that: TLDR: stay away from Jatco (Nissan affiliate) made transmissions. These are used by pretty much all car manufacturers except Toyota and...

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, this is exactly what I did and eventually found that with 5W lamp in the multi-way extension it does not trigger slave socket, but with 11W lamp it does. Will probably have to do some more permanent re-wiring eventually, as table lamp in a quarter garage...

Understood. Thank you very much for the clarification. FYI - for anyone wondering what kind of load is required for "multi-way extension block to the tool socket" option HamsterJam suggested here - with the auto-switch model discussed in this thread - I found that 20W 11W dummy load on the...

This is a great idea. Thank you. Are you abel to elaborate on DPDT switch design please? I have come up with the attached, using 2 way light switch, but not 100% sure if this has any glaring electrical issues.

Certainly. Not sure I follow the reason why do this though. The reason i mentioned "plug-it" is just to say that I never have to physically plug a cord of each tool directly into the Master/Slave auto switch when I change the tool. Instead there is a flex cable attached to the vacuum hose. One...

I see. Good idea. The difference in my case is that I plug the tool on the other side of the vacuum hose. All my tools have a DYI plug-it type connection so when I change the hose from one tool to another I change the power connection at the tool side. The plug connected to Master socket of the...

Thank you for the suggestion Rorschach What bugs me is the number of actions required to change over from "vacuum + tool" to "vacuum standalone" - it is at least 3 steps every time ( maybe I clean up too often) and requires 2 hands (one to hold the Master or Slave outlet and the other to...

First I would like to say big thank you to hunter27 for suggesting this awesome device on this forum. Having using it for a week with all my power tools I am now spoiled and looking for a way to improve workflow further. I wonder if anyone can make a suggestion - basically I am looking for a...

Depends on how you plan to use it. If you only ever work with single thickness of material then AC1950b is OK. I have AC1950b and would not recommend it as it encourages unsafe working practice. This model has a design flaw - upper blade guard column (which holds upper blade guides) shifts...
