Well after finishing my 12 hour night shift I drove 2 hours home and set about the workshop. Little one was at nursery so I had some peace to plod along (until I was inevitably interrupted). The cladding on the 2 long was is complete. Hurrah. I offered up a board, marked it where the rafter feet...

If you only want to go to a TS55 then just get a 5m hose and hook it up to whatever vac you get. As said, there are a bunch of ways to step up or down and all f the PVC pipe can be warmed to help make it fit snugly. Depending on what you are doing you can run the pipes around your workshop to...

Aussies or extractors :ROFLMAO:

For smaller tools a domestic vac or Henry should be fine within reason. There's limited airflow anyway as those tools might only have 30mm ports. I just wish there were a few more of those cyclones with bigger ports. The tiny ones are dirt cheap but only 40 or 50mm inlets. Maybe I need to make...

First person to use 9 cyclones in one workshop! As I said, not sure why it would be any more an issue than them both being in the same can like mine are. Apart from possible overheating maybe? Given the inlets on both though you might find a single £90 100mm shop vac might be itentical to...

I don't think Peter had a Erbauer saw to hand to check compatibility with, but it will likely fit the Evolution track which t £80 for 2.8m (2x 1.4m) is by far one of the best bets unless you just want one 2.7/3m rail. Worked great on both my Titan tracksaw and my Festool.

I was going to suggest the Erbaur too as a good starting point for all the reasons you mention. I got mine refurbed on Ebay for about £60.

Ha yes, his channel is excellent and they mostly all follow the same format. Funny and then the outtakes at the end of him showing that he does the same daft stuff we do. Yes I think it's like the mitre adhesive. It's just CA with some activator I think but any glue should work.

I think the evolution track is the go to budget option. The 2800 set (2x 1400 rails) runs about £85? I have it and my festool and titan saws both work fine on it

Have a look at Drew Fishers dust collection solution. It's enver going to be perfect or one size fits all, but it seems to help and its for the same saw.

How fast it sucks the dust would be difficult to judge I think. Assuming you can turn one on and then turn on the other, you should feel a difference. The DX4000 is literally 2 motors mounded to a bit of steel which is the lid. The motors are covered in a cylindrical filter and then a paper...

Yeah I'm really looking forward to moving away from the building part and onto the interior more. Having never had this kind of space I've no real idea of where I want to put anything yet. I'm fairly sure I'll have a bench along the entire window wall and probably inset my mitre saw into it but...

It would be nice if more of these listed how well it actually filters and to what level.

There are indeed plenty of dual motors vacs on the market, my dx4000 is one. I'm not sure how they would compare to two separate units. In mine both are within the same housing and then share the same 100mm inlet, rather than both being in separate units and connected via a Y to one 100mm inlet...

@sunnybob there's one poster who calls people clowns for using drain pipe for ducting. He'd probably have an aneurysm watching that :ROFLMAO:

Is it not a soft start?

Yeah its just been put in at where ground level should be once its filled in so it'll be looked after. I'll maybe put something else around it too.

Doors are on. Not finished but a lot less rain will find its way in. I also had the first experience of it remaining warm inside despite being cold outside which was so nice I immediately shut the door again. In the end I did just get some stainless parliament hinges, 102x102 and they worked...

Ok. will do. I other news its 4pm and no doors are up. I really wish I'd just bought parliment hinges or just fitted these T hinges in the traditional way. Utter pain in the arse.

Electrician came yesterday and got me all hooked up. For now its just lights, heat and main ring. He's happy to return at a later date if/when I want any 16a installed. He was in awe of the amount of sockets I'd put in 🤣 Also yesterday the floor arrived as well as some remaining timbers I...
