Absolutely. This is the next thing on my list after some bits.

...very good point :oops:

Cheers Tim. At least now i will only have to buy a 1/2" collet, still quite annoying though. So will i have to get an original dewalt part for this particular model ...or are there any alternatives?

Just got one of these of ebay to get into making some picture frame mouldings and i thought it would have a 1/2" collet. When i measured though, the internal diameter is only 6mm and change, which is about 0.25" ...so this would be 1/4" and not 1/2" as i was expecting. So my question is ...can...

Cheers ScaredyCat, one of those might do the trick. For now ive just pvc taped one that is close enough to the port on the saw. This then connects to the larger one, which sits inside the 4" hose.

Hi. I would like to be able to hook my 100mm dust hose to my DW745 - TYPE 4 table saw, which has an outside diameter of 64.5mm. All the dewalt adapters seem to be for stepping down to smaller shop vac sizes. Any advice would be most gratefully appreciated :mrgreen:

lol ...whats next then ...a Wi-Fi watering hose?

NIce one guys, i think ima just do the leg cuts and leave it at that. Thx for all advice and help. Very much appreciated :mrgreen:

ok , i stand corrected, no need to split hairs though. So if i'm looking at 26 faces of 2x6 and 10 of 2x4, with many being mitered or beveled ..how many of those twin tubes would i be needing, assuming that i do in fact need to do every face, and not just the legs.

Excellent advice guys, greatly appreciated. I don't own a heat gun, but as i live with 4 women, obtaining a hair dryer will be no problem :lol: Would it be best to apply this treatment to all exposed cuts or do i only really need to treat the legs? Just a thought, but doesn't the cheap epoxy...

Cheers Guys. could i dilute the epoxy mix with a small amount of isopropyl alchohol to make it easier for the wood to draw it up?

I'm building a Picnic Bench from 2x6 / 2x4 tanalized softwood and was hoping for some advice on sealing all the cuts (especially the legs) to prevent them from wicking moisture. I've read that ppl use epoxy resin, but some state that plain old pva is good enough. The bench will be sitting on...

Cheers Mike, is the EL model the lighter one? ...and am i right in believing that the EK is a clone of the old Elu Mof 177 ?

Ok, i know this post is a little old now but i have been trying to research the differences between the Dewalt DW625 EL -XW & the DW625 EK. Is it just the power increase from 1850w to 2000w ? ...Marketing strategies have always seemed confusing to me #-o

whichever i go with, i will as always, be watching some safety videos before doing any actual cutting, but it's always a good idea to mention that aspect :wink:
