Looks like your son went the full :08 seconds .... wore you out !!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC !!! ????? Hahahahaha amen bro! It took me three days for the saw! Mostly refinishing the top. The move and storage was hell on it and I had some light rust developing on the iron and well as some heavy scratches. Could not get all the scratches out but Balistol, steel wool and mineral spirits, T9 Boeshield then a nice buff with Renaissance wax! I spend less time waxing my cars!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanted a granite top on my table saw but just could not live without magswitch stuff ! So I am constantly fighting rust.

ChrisK Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just assembled my main stay dust collection unit. Next up my ceiling mounted air cleaner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Do you use your ceiling air cleaner much? I need to use mine more but dont like listening to it. I know it works because my filter is filthy. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up getting the three speed Grizzly and it's amazing how much that thing takes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I need to force myself to use it more. Because that's the bad stuff you need to get out of the air. I bought the powermatic but would not recommend it over a Jet or grizzly to anyone. The remote is nice but the main unit is not Powermatic table saw quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I haven't heard of any really highly rated ones but that remote is sweet plus the fan is actually pretty nice in the shop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bro. Super max just came out with this one and a smaller one plus some air cleaners to add to their line up of wood working tools. I tried this out last night, it's loud, not terribly loud, way less than my Ridgid shop vac but it's amazing how much volume this thing has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 On my list of things to do is a totally piped up system with HEPA filter. Just such a big project running duct and dodging a dozen 8' light fixtures. So keep putting it off. Bags that size will be nice for basement. Would suck to deal with a 35 gallon container! So are you going to move it around between tools or have plans to run piping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you going to move it around between tools or have plans to run piping? Actually Rich, I don't really know. I've never had a dedicated D.C. unit like this before. I have one 10' section of Jose already but was thinking if I run a ceiling extension cord I could move it about. I think eventually the shop may move so ridgid ducting is out of the question for me right now. What do you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Well if I dont duct it, I wont use it. One thing I have learned about myself is if everything is not setup and easy to use, I dont use it. Its a fault so I am learning to put the effort in up front to get a shop the way I need it. I have said this many times before... I will gnaw through a board with a pair of pliers before I will get get a miter saw off the shelf and set it up and plug it in. I have also learned if I dont visibly display tools I eventually forget I have them. So I either end of with 3 of the same tool (after buying two more) or I do a project and then remember I actually have a widget made for doing that. Since you have a dust extractor it wont be as bad for you to move around depending on your layout. The CT will take care of miter saw, sanders, domino, etc. I dont even like to swap hoses on the CT which is why I built the diverter/blast gate yesterday. Good chance you have more patience than I do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well, Will has been a little unwell this weekend and I was beat and didn't feel like pulling cars out of ditches and risking getting on the road so I took today off. Got some work done in the shop...I worked several tools today...Makita brushless barrel grip Makita XDT15Dewalt DCF887Dewalt DCN692Sawstop CNS175TGP36Festool MFT/3Festool KapexFestool TS55REQI have to say, nothing beats the DCF887 for pure power.

Those are the horizontal supports sandwiching a 2x4 for the new lumber rack. Super sturdy racks that way! The racks almost act as if they are mortised to fit onto the 2d4 upright then screwed in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
