LOL. One of the reasons I seldom use Flexiclick angled adapters is because all my "hard to reach" places are really hard to reach and flexclick adapters simply do not fit there, whereas right angle and flexible shaft (while incredibly fiddly to use) do the job. I have no major complains about...

Not sure what model of Camvac you have but the Twin Motor I own requires exhaust/intake hole next to the Off motor to be plugged/blocked, otherwise (in 1 motor mode) you lose a ton of suction. So, while you can technically rewire to control each motor remotely, you would also have to come up...

If awkward hard to reach spots is your primary goal then get yourselves 1. right angle adapter - many well known brands produce this kind of adapter, not just DeWalt 2. flexible shaft adapter I own Bosch flexiclick and almost never use its angle and offset angle adaptors If I was installing...

Contactor linked in my original post is single phase.

Hello @JR147 I'd recommend to pair one of those remote control switches @Doug71 linked with a contactor. Doug71 must have been lucky if his setup works without a contactor. With Twin Motor Camvac I have gone through 3 different remote control switches - they all stopped working in a relatively...

Hello @mrodent , As others suggested - wood is a living thing which reacts to moisture changes. Different species react differently, some more, some less, but they all do. To minimise chances of needing to plain your boards after purchase and acclimation you can attempt this: 1. Learn to...

Hello @Garden Shed Projects I think Festool and Mafell/Bosh track/MFT accessories are close enough these days and the choice of track style is just a personal preference. Problem is - you won't know what your preference is until you had a chance to work with both styles. A couple of anecdotes...

Hello @Spectric I may have misunderstood your comment but it sounds like it implies that Festool track saw provides better dust collection than Mafell. Mafell (due to its construction) is certainly better than Festool at channelling more dust through the dust port (provided that dust extractor...

Hello @Doug71, Interesting product. Looks like some sort of Festool/Bosch hybrid with some dubious design decisions. Good: - AMS Line track uses the same way of fixing the splinter guard and anti-friction strips on the bottom as Mafell/Bosch, no glue required Not so good - AMS Track does not...

Hello @Garden Shed Projects, If you have not purchased your Festool saw yet then I would join @deema in advising to look at Mafell first. I have used both Festool and Mafell/Bosh tracks for all sorts of tasks and IMHO ease-of-use/accuracy wise Mafell/Bosh track is a better choice. Mafell track...

TL;DR: have 1 such jacket experience - do not recommend My workshop is also unheated and I own one of those jackets (some far eastern noname) which works from any power bank with a USB socket. Could not get on with the jacket and prefer to put on more layers than use such jacket. - Small/light...

Hello @grumpy6165 In case you are interested in other options - taking into account that this is an educational environment - I would forget about the jig and considered a setup like this: 1. regular brad point drill bits 2. split ring depth stops - they are easy to fit and hold their place...

Before installing my MOF001 into a table I used it hand held for a few years (with the spring installed) and do not believe I had experienced what you described. Try lubricating router columns with dry ptfe spray. My other triton (TRA001 bought second hand) did have very stiff plunging...

If you want a ready made benchtop table then Trend CRT MK3 works great, but you may need to drill new holes in the router insert to fit MOF001 Also - have a look in this thread: Best router for table

Are you sure it says 1/4 and 1/2? Description by the link you shared has this Includes 6 piece router bit set for wood Suitable for standard routers with a 6 or 8mm shank (e.g. Parkside Tool holder: 6 and 8mm i.e. it supports neither 1/4 nor 1/2

Hello @Homeless Squirrel, I am going to assume you meant Trend Fast Track chisel and plane blade sharpener and did not mean Trend Fast Track Knife sharpener TL,DR: Trend Fast Track is a great system, provided you understand what it was designed for. I am not sure what kind of plasticine was...

Not sure about floor joists, but the exposed brick wall (6) does continue up to ceiling level and beyond.

I have poked a bit with a skewer and updated the photo in my post #77 to add a couple of dimensions. - Bricks of wall (6) appear to go all the way up to the 1st floor. - if a poke in several places in the gaps where old door used to sit - I can get max 190mm deep. Please see updated photo in...

Hello @seanf Nice Christmas present you got :) Bandsaw Bandsaw which can be used for cutting both metal (e.g. mild still) and wood is going to be unnecessarily expensive because speed required for metal is very different from speed for wood. Even if your hardest metal is aluminium - I would...

Below is a photo of what that space looks like at the moment Half of the last stairs step had to be cut out to allow new door to open with hinges on the left. New door is installed in the middle of the frame. Old door had hinges on the right and was positioned in the right half of the door frame.
