There are some very interesting things I saw in the catalogue (I don’t speak Dutch so I could be mistaken).
Page 74: A free standing bandsaw
Page 96: A jointer
Page 226: Router bits
I know that our friends in Europe get things that we don’t and vice versa but what do you guys think are the odds that we get these things in the states?
So I’m in the market for a new drill press and left me wondering why Dewalt hasn’t made one. That got me thinking what other tools I’d like for them to release but probably won’t. So for conversation sake I’ll start with my list:
Bench top or stand along drill press
Spindle sander
Jointer
Drum Sander
Cordless biscuit jointer
These could very well be coming down the pipeline but I just don’t see dewalt coming out with the stationary tools (a concept I don’t understand because I feel like their lunchbox planer is amazing).
So what would you guys love to see in Dewalt’s R&D department?
Have you guys seen this new compact dust extractor from WOC 2019? Looks super compact and I think would pair awesome with the new cordless trim router coming out soon.
The dual port ripping fence on page 5 is interesting. Excuse my ignorance but is it just a fancy ripping board? Doesn’t look like the track for the track saw.
Looks like he sander is getting into the hands of reviewers. TiA has one, Toolpig has one...I want to know when I can get one. Any idea when we’ll see it in the big box stores?
Which corner of the web are you going to that you’re finding all of these press releases lol.
JK, thanks for the info. I thank you but my wallet and wife have some choice words for you.
Mid love to see more shop tools like a drill press and an oscillating sander. If they can make a FV powered table saw, why couldn’t they make other high draw shop tools?
Now that there have been some new official announcements like the sander, router, and new jigsaws I wonder if there’s going to be anything else that comes across the plate this year. My shop is pretty much cordless now with the additions of the router and sander so anything else is icing on the cake. Wouldn’t hate a belt sander though.
