  1.  

     

    I run the 50mm short festool boom arm hose  into a y  on the dc port on my dw745 . then a hose up to the guard

    I only run both if it is a finished house.

    the dw745 is very good at throwing the dust out the port . if im on a site or in a shed where dust isn't a problem  I run the saw with no dust collector  but use the 50mm pipe into a bucket. I forgot to turn on the dc one time and filled the pipe up

  2. sds is a hammer drill that takes better bits. way better at drilling concrete.#

    a portaband is a small band saw. great tool for unistrut and threaded bar. I have seen people cutting spiral ducting with it as well

  3. i think the first job is work out what tools you will need or want down the line.

     

    you will want an impact for screws,

    drill for drilling

    mini grinder

    sds drill

     

    a portaband  would be hand for unistrut etc

    I think an impact wrench would be handy for bolts and large wall fixings

  4. welcome to the forum.

    I have the 718 and the 780. the 780 is a way better saw.

    no problems at all with it.

    the dust collection is very good.

    xps system is brilliant .I wouldn't buy a saw with out it. there is no way for it to be off . lasers are terrible compared to the xps. exept outside on really sunny days. luckily in Ireland we don't get many
