Hi Mr Yellow ,
I read one of your posts/comments regarding your DW744 tablesaw and your difficulty setting it to 45degrees. I have the same saw and the same issue. Did you ever fix it?
Regards,
Kenneth

Hi Mojo/Kenneth,
My fix was to remove the plastic cover underneath the saw.
Also because of the design, it builds up sawdust inside and running the saw would eventually throw the sawdust back onto me when using the saw.
Bit of a hack job since the dust control is next to none now
You could just take a peek underneath and see if you can adjust anything to fix the issue.
Best,
Michel

Ha,
Yes, dustextraction isn't it's strongpoint.
I just cleaned the saw inside and took another good look at it upside down. I had to anyway because the cloth bit of the dustcover fell from the aixle of the pinion system. When I had it all cleaned and back in place I tested the 45 setting again and it just makes it now (did a testrun and it made a clean 45 cut). It runs with the metal sawcover agains the pinion system aixle at 45. I ducttaped the loose metal dustcover to the plastic dustcover to make the most of the room and maybe improve the dustextraction a bit. It does seem to do both... for now.
Thanx
Kenneth

Hey Mr Yellow, Just saw the great pics of your van. I'm building out a tool trailer and would ilke to explore tough system for storage. How'd you get the framework for the TS Brackets? Was it a pre fab framework for TS?
Or a custom build?
The van looks amazing by the way !!! Nice Job

Hi. It is a custom build 'framework' for the brackets. It's only aluminum studs.
There are a few more topics in the DeWALT section from other people doing the same, just slightly different. They welded frames. Look for user Rossi7x. He was one of the first to adopt the Toughsystem for van storage/racking.
Thanks! Still enjoying it. Being organized is half the job sometimes.

Mr. Yellow,
Awesome van, What are the straps you are using for the saw and compressor
Thanks,
Tony

Cheers!
Sorry for the late response. Not been on here for a while.
The straps are auto-retractable ones. They are sold under different names. Just Google 'auto retractable strap' and they'll pop up.
Best,
Michel
