Adidat I did consider making my own, in fact I have a large one that I did. However went for the neatness of this this time. Looking forward to seeing yours though. Mark

I bought the dust mite a couple of weeks ago. The seller had 4 listed for £42 plus free P & P and they took about a week to sell, including one to me. They then listed 4 more the following week for £43 plus free P & P which sold out in a couple of days. The dust commander looked the same to...

Or just make one out of scraps for free. Just needs some holes drilling Mark

Oh yeah, and it works. Brand new filters and just a bit of staining on the enter acne to the bag the rest in the drop box Mark

Next job was to join the midi to the dust mite. Buy chance the elbow that fits into the midi on the 27mm hose also fits the pipes on the dust mite. So I just put the hose from the midi on the inlet to the dust mite and then bought 2 more elbows and a length of festool 27mm hose for the...

I bought from eBay a "dust mite". As far as I can see pretty much identical to a dust deputy but the inlet and outlet are not tapered. Cost me £42 free postage. Cheaper than getting a dust deputy in this country or shipped from US and same price as a dust commander but that has a large shipping...

Here are my additions to my Festool CTL midi. First up is my home made wooden systainer drop box. Made out of some cheap ply I had laying about. I'm very pleased with the result. No WIP I'm afraid. Rather than try and cut the four tabs into the base I made them from birch ply then recessed them...

How about a bit of fibreglass matting and resin across the back. Thin and strong. Mark

Thanks mike I've now got the spring out just need to know if anything else is advisable when used in the table. Mark

You don't have to change anything. But it is advisable to remove the plunge spring so you are not fighting against it when winding up. I have also just discovered another problem. The collet lock is failing to engage. I have wound it to full plunge, the collet lock pin then protrudes a small...

I thought I had a link saved but now can't find it. I remember you need to make a few changes to this when you put it in a router table. One alteration was removing a spring in the plunge mechanism. Anyone got a link showing this been done and any other necessary changes? I've tried here and...

£13. That's brilliant.

:D excellent So what's coming tomorrow? Mark

Thanks waka, I have seen that one. Was hoping there was one where you have to buy less bits. Mark

I find the sign of a good company is not necessarily one that never makes a mistake (or bad table saw fence), its one that deals with its mistakes (or bad table saw fence) in a satisfactory manner. Can't see a problem to tell us who you're dealing with, if they sort it, tell us, if they don't...

Great news Steve Mark

Waka Any chance of a link to the parallel guides on FOG please Mark

Thanks guys, it now fits. I ended up filing it, took quite a while to do, my files are not as coarse as I thought. Happy with the result. Mark

RWoody What type of table saw do you have, it sounds pretty small. Not necessarily a problem in itself but the EB3 is pretty big. Bare in mind it sits one side of the blade, it only has half the table supporting it. I have a small bandsaw and would not use it on that as the table would be too...

Marcros has described it fairly accurately. Thanks for the extra info. Will definitely be easier to adjust the plate not the hole. Will have a go at filing and "sanding" at the weekend. Mark
