Not sure if this is a dewalt specific thing, but it does not look like any active feeding is actually required. Perhaps Makita can do something similar. and another

If you use any sort of CAD then it will definitely help you In terms of creating your own models for 3D printing. Biggest change from laser/CNC is going to be getting used to filament/temperature/flow/support/speed/bed-leveling, etc settings and their relation to failed prints. This is where...

I am with @ScaredyCat and would also avoid anything from Creality unless you are more into 3D printers than 3D printing. Are you sure you need the K1 bed size? A smaller bed size means smaller prints in one go, but modern slicers allow you to cut bigger models into parts and join them quite...

Judging by the blade size, I assume 'cordless Makita' means a hand-held circular saw (not a table saw). You may struggle to get a clean result on melamine and potentially plywood using a hand saw without a track with a splinter guard. I'm not sure that a hand-held circular saw and fine joinery...

Clever idea. Unfortunately the application is limited to tools producing dust rather than chips and direction from smaller to larger diameter. I used something similar with my Makita corded hand planer - i.e. chips + going from larger (planer) to smaller (hose) diameter - had to stop planing...

LOL. It reads as if I wrote it about my setup. The only thing I would add is that 3D printed adapters have a female Cen-Tec compatible port. And for tools where male cen-tec port is not practical - there is a male cen-tec of adapter

Unless you are operating some huge industrial machinery - your numbers for dust ports sizes do not look right. In a domestic workshop I would not expect anything above 100mm Anyway - industrial machinery aside: - Best option - get yourselves a 3D printer and learn to use it. - Second best...

An excellent tool for those of us with limited workshop space and budget. I use it in the process of converting logs into boards. Step 1: Chainsaw Step 2: Triton TPL180 handheld (to establish a flat-ish surface) Step 3: Triton TPL180 in a surface planer configuration

Thank you for the suggestion. To be honest, I can't be bothered. My Camvac is out of warranty. Besides, I consider that annoying high pitch whining a feature - it forces me to use ear protection regardless of which tool I use and for how long.

Camvac has been mentioned a couple of times, so I thought I'd add a warning. One of the motors in my twin-motor Camvac begins emitting a high-pitched noise after running under load for about a minute. Filters are clean and nothing is blocked. There is no squeal when it's running without a...

I will need to test that. In single-motor mode, the twin-motor Camvac requires the inactive motor exhaust to be blocked; otherwise, there is a substantial loss of suction.

Great idea. It has never occurred to me to place a manifold directly on top of the Camvac. With my current twin-motor setup, I have to manually plug or open one of the motor exhaust holes when switching from sanding/track-saw (single motor) to table/mitre-saw (two motors). With a robust...

Hello @Sachakins Yes, please post photos. How did you determine whether there is or isn't any back pressure?

Hello @Nick_ If you are firmly set on buying a mitre saw then ignore the rest of my message, but if your goal is to finish your project with minimal expense then read on. If you have a circular saw, you could make yourself a Circular Saw Crosscutting Jig for cutting shed shelves and 2x4s. I...

I am not speaking from experience, so feel free to ignore, but the reason I have never tried 8mm dowels in 12mm ply is as follows: 1. if you plan to glue dowels in place. Glue may cause the wood to swell slightly, and with only 2mm on each side (if you actually manage to drill dead centre), you...

Based on their Kickstarter, it will launch as it has collected many times more than the original goal. However, the price is quite steep. For this kind of money, I'd prefer to get an actual drill guide that doesn't require batteries. Interesting device, if it was selling for £15-£20, I would...

As others have mentioned, a bandsaw is the kind of tool you'll find yourself wishing you had bought in a larger size. On the flip side, if you're aiming to stay in good shape, you could repeat my mistake. Despite modifying my bandsaw to allow for up to 5" tall stock (after removing all that...

You may want to consider a battery-powered circular saw (any budget one will suffice). It will cover the scenarios you mentioned and also allow you to break down sheet goods before loading them into your car (especially useful if you don't have a van to deliver sheet materials yourself). Both a...

A biscuit jointer is more or less a one-trick pony - aligning boards for glue-up. While it does add some strength to the joint, it is not that significant and rather accidental. The Domino is closer to a doweler in terms of adding strength to joints. As a bonus - the Domino is just as quick for...

I think Mr. Triton is seeking public opinion to sway him toward purchasing a Domino. Mentioning Leigh's jig was just a diversion. :ROFLMAO:
