  1. I kinda looked at that. But since I keep my tools in a covered truck box or rear seat crew area. It was too bulky to not get damaged. I also looked at the 18Vx2 makita 2 gallon wheeled  HEPA vacs,.Just gets me nervous on sucking and run time. I have 5.0 batteries PLUS cold weather here really slows down battery performance if I forget to take the batteries in.

    I even looked at Festool. BUT the permanent  filter bag cost at over 250 bucks . Is not happening. I buy bags in bulk at a cost of 5 bucks each, used one every 2 or 3 weeks and even reuse them,LOL

  2. I’m in the market for a new jobsite vac. My Ridgid  4 gallon 4500RV died and warranty has been a nightmare. I need capacity to a certain extent. I do drywall repair, woodworking on site.  I’m on the Milwaukee M18 M12 and Makita 18 platforms. If its cordless.  I do have the canister M18 hand vac but its too small for cleanups. I like to hold my vac hose in my hand as I do sanding or attach it to my tools if possible.  So I use a 10 ft hose at times 1 1/4, . I have a big ass 10 gallon Ridgid, But only lug it around when I use my Drywall sander.

    Track saw, oscillating tool, Makita drywall cutter come to mind when I like to use it.  I’ve even use it to capture concrete dust and have it laying beside me as I move along. HEPA is a must. My run times are 10 to 30 mins. Most times.

  3. I love the tapes. The features are awesome BUT I'd them to stiffen up the blades, I just don't get the 8 ft stand out.  Seems I'm always at longer lengths with a limp blade hitting the floor. One reason I love the FatMax line of tapes,  Use nothing more than 25ft. on a daily basis. I use the FASTCAPS for smaller work and dam that pencil sharpener was genius ;D

  4. Is that the DWE7480?

    You can cut a piece of 3/4 ply to fit the bottom of the saw, use the brackets and carriage bolt them the the ply. It works great. I did it before I got the rolling stand followed by the 741RS.

    It becomes quick release and you can still set the saw on a table or workbench if need be. It also puts the saw up nice and high. Which I liked because I'm 6'4

    How did you secure the plywood to the bottom of the saw. Awesome idea

  5. DW716 Types 1 -4, it says on the dewalt site. and I do not have the removable part to attach the LED light, Type 20 is the new model and they have deleted this.

    From Dewalt rep
    The DW716 Mitre Saw that you bought recently is a new model that no longer accepts the laser attachment. This change happened over the last eight months or so

  6. I recently bought a Dw716 saw. The LED light attachment will not fit this saw.  I loved the light on a loaner saw I had. They have deleted the removable handle insert where the LED light attaches. Does anyone know if I buy Parts from say a type 1 or 2 and replace them in my type 20. I can install this LED light.

  7. I have a Dw716 miter saw that has now had the led/laser attachment handle removal deleted from the handle >:(. I loved the LED light on my old one. Does anyone know if I buy parts for the type 1, 2 if they will fit my type 20 saw. I want my LED light back.
