Ryobi makes a full size but o have a Dewalt that runs cordless and ac plus a little Bosch 12v

Welcome to the forums!

Screw all of these mild suggestions. Date appropriate, watch Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Field artillery always wins. It’ll be loud but hey…very explosive 🧨 door knocker.

So without trying too hard to sound like a dolt…I don’t know. I have compact Dewalt trim router but most of my routers are larger, Festool Bosch and PC units. I would gander at this and say for a dust collection shroud? My Festool has something similar to the one pictured. These are normally a slide on and turn unit that you can then attach a hose but I don’t have this particular router

Normally I’d say ream it out but…those little palm routers are designed for smaller bits and get out of control with a wider diameter bit. Plus making the base plate hole larger doesn’t increase the size of the base which could make it more dangerous to handle with a larger bit. Hope this helps! Chris

Holy cats, no kidding right? Just read an article on the benefits and negatives to EVs and apparently carry’s through to lawn care.

I think that is smart. Having said that, I have a simple safe at home. Any measure for firearm security is a home run when it comes to an affirmative defense against litigation. And to add to story telling, a local Police Chief in New Hampshire was found guilty of a firearms violation when his son took his duty weapon and committed suicide. The poor guy lost his son, and was found in violation of law (being a cop opens you up to higher standards, a normal citizen would not have been dealt with as harshly - we should know better). The reasoning for the charge was the Chief’s weapon was hanging on the wall in his security holster on his gun belt. Lousy lousy lousy lousy situation. I really felt bad for the Chief AND the investigating Officers. You had said something about politics in law enforcement. Our County Attorneys are elected officials. NOT appointed. Need I say more?

Also please don’t take my thoughts as insult. They are meant as supportive guidance with a lot of background. You are military and have done great things in service to our Country. When it comes to suit most people don’t care.

Dude, seriously, get one. A lot of people don’t understand civil liability and it goes as far as weapon security. If for instance, you park your car in a parking lot and someone breaks in, stealing a firearm. Most courts will hold the owner of the firearm liable for civil responsibility. So yeah…some educationally challenged, EDP, discriminated subject, from a bad home with a bad upbringing, drug addiction, etc etc etc, breaks into your car. Steals your firearm. Shoots some poor person during a robbery attempt. The firearm is located, an investigation ensues, most LE Agencies will not go after the gun owner however… A litigious citizen (or non citizen- yeah they have rights too) files a wrongful death suit and Shazam. You owe money. I’ve heard people bitch about using a gun for home security and shooting some PoS dead on their property and most cases across the USA are considered justified having said that, the aforementioned weapon security can get you in a bowl of hot fudge real quick in civil court and civil suit for a justified shooting can and Will too. Having said that after thirty years of public service (25 as a Cop)… better tried by 12 than carried by 6. Especially when my family is at stake.

For what it is worth, I sold my 887 for the 850 as an impulse because I wanted that ultra compact. So far not too impressed. Serious chuck wobble. Great power, and the size is ridiculous but that chuck is pretty iffy. I won’t lie though it is crazy small. I have been running the new power stacks on the 850 and makes for a really small footprint but the wobble is pretty noticeable. I can work with it but it is noticeable.

Snake Splissken

Uh yeah. In 2022 would be thieves and burglars have no problem being litigious too. Remember, everyone has value.

Plus retirement is great especially at my age but I’ve got a 5 year old and a 2 year old to watch out for so until I get off my lazy bum when my daughter goes to kindergarten tool purchases have slowed Wayyyy down!

Ends up I have quite a few Festools in my shop, including the Ts55REQ. I have a 110, 2 55’s and a 55” LR32 rail already. I would’ve loved the 75 but to no avail, it Aint available. Glad to hear you love it, o can’t wait to give it a go!
