Does anyone make such a thing? I want to connect my Festool extractor to my dewalt sander. Thanks Col

Anyone got one they’d like to sell? Preferably just the basic one, part no 577257. Thanks Col

Yep, it’s sold. (y)

My DW733 for sale. It been gathering dust having had very little use so decided to see if anyone could get more out of it. It great condition, comes with original box and manuals etc. 230V, 1800 original tools and spare belt all with it...

PM me if you want more detail.

I will add that my wife is great with the camera, so once the legs are on this I’ll get her to take some decent quality pics.

There are 2 ways to do it. In this case, I made a casting “bath” with mdf and then lined it with release tape. This is a fancy word for parcel tape! I did this because one board was slightly twisted, so I wanted the resin to fill the space underneath. I then clamp the boards in, taking the twist...

Here is the finished article. I’m not great with the camera, but you get the idea.

It was a festool ts55. It was an amazon warehouse deal. Was supposed to be a returned item, as new but with marks on the sustainer. The funny thing was that when I rang them they apologies and offered me a £30 discount, which wouldn’t even cover the missing blade! They clearly don’t check when...

Saw arrived today, marks on box as described, however also sustainer tabs snapped, blade missing, handle scratched, blade houseing cracked and box full of saw dust! Returned. That me taught a lesson!

I assume that is sarcasm?! Well spotted, thanks for taking the time to point it out :wink:

After a bit more research, everything was getting great reviews cutting ply or sheet goods, only the festool was getting mentioned with hardwoods. Had a look on amazon and found an amazon warehouse deal with £100 because the packaging was damaged! Thanks very much for all the advice.

Thanks guys. I will use it mostly for trimming hardwood table tops to final dimension, so quality of cut is key. It is for workshop use and will be connected to a vac, so it doesn’t neccisarily have to be cordless, I just wanted to take advantage of the makita 18v system I currently have. Sounds...

I have the 18V makita batteries and I’m in the market for a track saw. The cordless makita reviews are all very good but only seem to feature 3/4” ply. I will predominantly use the saw for trimming up hardwood tables, 30-45mm, would I be better off with the corded version or does anyone have...

I’ll Coat the wood the protect it, then polish the scratches out of the epoxy with cutting compound and then probably give the whole thing a coat of PolyX.
