    Fed up with getting shocked!

    I removed the overhead hose and just laid it on the floor, did quite a few cuts occasionally touching the hose and no static, so it looks like that’s the way I’ll go. Thanks for all the replies 👍

    Now that’s really interesting Doug as I too have the hose suspended above the track saw and the static only seems to be when cutting MR MDF in particular thicker material. I’ll drop the hose to the floor and see if that stops the static shocks.

    Fed up with getting shocked!

    I get static shocks from the hose when using my Festool Track saw, the hose is connected to a basic shop vac. If I buy an anti static hose will it stop the static when connected to my basic shop vac or does it (hose and vac) need to be grounded? Grateful for any hose recommendations please.

    How to enthuse a 4 year old

    Made loads of stuff with our grandkids in the work shop, they love being in there with me. The last thing we made was a large ‘delux’ bug hotel for their garden, I cut all the parts, we then went into our garden and collected the bits for the bugs to nest in, they then had to lay out the parts...

    Good use of space in a small workshop

    My single garage workshop doesn’t allow me to have dedicated workspace for things like an MFT work station or a mitre station so I combined both, it works well and can be changed over quickly to suit the job in hand, I also made a right hand support with a stop that also can double up as a right...

    Zero clearance fence on a Kapex - does it affect the dust collection?

    This one looks like a good option, low so shouldn’t affect the dust collection.

    Zero clearance fence on a Kapex - does it affect the dust collection?

    Thanks Mike, that makes sense, I do like zero clearances but I wouldn’t want to do anything that affects the dust collection and from what you say it won’t. I’ll knock up a temporary fence and try it, thanks again 👍

    Zero clearance fence on a Kapex - does it affect the dust collection?

    To be clear, I have no intention of fitting a zero clearance fence just yet to my new KS60. However, I have seen many videos from those who have and just wondered if a zero clearance fence affects the excellent dust collection?

    Festool Kapex new user - impressed!

    Yes, I’ve seen that video, I probably watched every vid on the Kapex before I committed. The ks60 I bought has the shadow line, you can actually see the blade teeth on the wood, really good but it’ll take a bit of getting used to. Build quality, accuracy and excellent dust collection, can’t...

    Festool Kapex new user - impressed!

    After saving like a mad man I purchased my first Kapex KS60 E-SET, I took advantage of the Screwfix ‘10% off everything in February’ and made a great saving! What can I say, it is very impressive straight out the box, the cut at every angle is spot on, I’ve always hated every mitre saw I have...
