Mr. Yellow Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 So, recently I bought the DWV902M vac (DWV012 in US) and did a little modification and removed the cord. I have the vac rack on there and I didn't like the build in cord wrap. So I cut the cord altogether and added a Neutrik Powercon inlet on the vac and the right plug to the cord. Now I can store the cord together with the hose in the T-Stak case that sits on top.I also thought the wheels could be a bit better... [emoji106]With the front wheels I went from the standard 75x22mm to a whopping 75x40mm [emoji16] (really only needed them to level the vac with the new rear wheels)Next up is to get the floor cleaning set and find a way to store them. Maybe in a T-Stak but I might add something to store the extensions on the back of the vac.Sent from somewhere by someone using something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Maybe some orange flames in the side too?????Cool stuff and I was looking at that Neutrik set up for a few of my non Festool tools I use a lot of, namely my Bosch ROS and Router. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Not a fan of flames but I might add an underside exhaust [emoji106]And perhaps I ditch the T-Stak in favor of a racing seat [emoji16]The Neutriks are great. Ofcourse you've already seen them on several mods on the FOG. And then make a plug-it to powercon cable?Sent from somewhere by someone using something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Exactly! Would be a real convenience. Not necessary especially whereas I'm not a contractor but it would be nice. Not too expensive either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just like you said. They're not expensive so you can always get a pair of plugs and try it before you convert other tools. Think there should be a general topic dedicated to tool modifications.

The angle of the pic is just off so I cant tell for sure if that little black bit sticking out is a valve or not??? Are they air filled or solid rubber??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yes, it's a valve. They are air filled. It's a bit hard to find decent solid wheels. At least I couldn't find any. I changed out the original axle and added a stainless threaded rod on which I bolted the wheels. Nothing was modified on the vac itself to mount them, so I can always go back, which I might, because I'm undecided if I keep it this way. But across sandy jobsites, this is better than the plastic wheels it came with. I dunno, I just like to mess around a bit with my tools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkdec Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 keep the air filled tires much nicer, well done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Just upgraded my DCV582 cordless vac with Airlock connectivity.Put the DWV9000 airlock connector on the hose and then used a DVW9130 adapter on which I mounted the original endpiece.Only had to cut about 10mm from one end of the 9130 so it would fit inside the 'hose end' of the standard endpiece. Only took a little turn to the left to fasten it. Haven't had to use any glue. That was a nice surprise DWV9130 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Cool to know. Now I gotta get some dewalt boxes one of these days. Im curious does the new stack radio work with the same kind of racking? I can easily get the tubing,ill just put it in my cnc mill at work and plow the holes with a stub drill,would be fast and easy to make them all the same.

Fazzman Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I can get that tubing pretty easy. My cnc at work has a 60x40 table on it,would be easy to make all the same height etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locksmithmatt Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 The most simple set up I've seen mounting on a nice flat wall is 25x25 SHS with 5 mm holes in the back at 25mm centres , mounted on some 25mm ply spacers bolted to the wall The van racks take a bit more thinking about , off the top of my head it's 560mm to the out side edges of the bars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finally getting my garage to a functional state and not just a 22x24 storage space.

RickyMcGrath Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just so I don't have to buy $600 in Carrier Brackets, I'll probably leave a bottom row or two on the floor and just float the rest. Then I can just pull out the bottom rows and blow out from behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
