Thank you!

Thanks for watching up there!

By far the best dust collection I’ve ever used. The bag at the bottom of the filter has never been emptied and there’s less than 1/4” of fine sawdust in there. I’ve emptied the 30 gal container maybe 20 times. Maybe it’s not the best solution for a huge shop with 100 ft runs in all directions but for a small shop, there’s no need for anything bigger in my opinion

@ my point is that insertion loss of using a cyclone makes the suction loss a problem no one ever mentions that

I have zero issues with lack of suction

@@dellsdiy great -crack on then mate

Thank you! Thanks for watching

Thanks for your comment! It’s great hear how others use the same tools

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

It’s not about the saw leaving the track when actually using the saw. It’s about cutting the splinter guard during its first cut which then trims the sliver guard to exactly the point where the blade will make its cuts ever time after. This is used for aligning the rail to your cut measurement lines on your plywood. If you trim the sliver guard on the very first cut and leave the track (which you have to in order to cut the sliver guard ). You would screw up the guard when the saw left the track. Then you can’t use the guard to align the track

It’s for alignment when cutting long cuts like plywood but not to where you would actually cut off of the track

Great advice, thanks for that and thanks for watching!

I love the idea of the male and female connectors on the LED light wires so they can never get mixed up...great idea!! Thanks

@@dellsdiy It is a notion from my early years working is a car stereo store and from electronics class in high school in trying to idiot proof projects. The only problem is when you idiot proof something, they go and create a better idiot. Another idea would be to use waterproof automotive connectors, more expensive though built for challenging environments, the die electric grease should suffice for this application.

Absolutely! You can get as crazy as you want with the lights. I thought about adding two small puddle lights that would shine down at my feet so I could see where I was stepping too. Thanks for watching!!

I hope that means you liked the video lol!

It’s so you can align your cut using the track

Thank you! I’ve toned down the music volume on all of my videos going forward as well to avoid any further possible distraction. That plywood was absolute garbage lol. Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel!

Thank you so much for your support! Glad you liked the video!

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of one of the key benefits of a tracksaw which is to not need to use a tablesaw all the time?

@ you can still use the full track, but you don’t mark your board at the ends. mark in 6” or so from each end where the splinter guard is the most accurate

Thank you!! Absolutely upload videos and share your knowledge! It’s a lot of work, way more work than I thought to be honest

@ yes I will, is pretty cool how you use all left over board and not scrap them, but check the link below if you ever plan make some out of full boards, or probably you already know, I make one yesterday with whole length boards and it was easy and simple, not much work. ruclips.net/video/9e9ZMVcc9iY/видео.htmlsi=Fbo3tAaIGO9v0SJ-

You’re welcome! Pretty simple install, you’ll absolutely love them when you’re done!

Grab one at the link in the description before they sell out

Thanks!

Perfect, take my money please

Is $17-20 really overpriced? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a piece of plastic this large priced less if you could even find something similar in a big box store

@dellsdiy for a plastic sheet? Yes

Glad you can find one. Feel free to share a link so others can buy a more affordable plastic sheet. Everybody would appreciate that I think. Thanks!

@@dellsdiy you could even have a piece of cardboard doing the same thing and i can pick that up for free in every grocery store

@@benoitgoessens3024 cardboard won’t spring open and keep the bag tight. They sell corrugated inserts to put in bags as well but those fail within a day. Would love to see the sheet of plastic for less than $10

Sounds like a dig on city folk but really some city folk don’t have the equipment that the country folk use to mulch leaves to tiny pieces unless you want to mom them 30 times.

Thanks

Hmm never knew that!

Good strategy for the pickup but it’s all about the bag collapsing when trying to fill the bag. How do you overcome that obstacle?

I usually do that except when I have loads of leaves that would take hours to cut small enough to break down quickly

Here is the link! amzn.to/4e9hnYe

@@dellsdiy I just checked Amazon Canada. It’s out of stock and with no restocking time line. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and watch for it or something similar. Thanks for letting me know!

I know right! Easy solution

@@dellsdiy I also like to repurpose or modify items for other uses. Traditionally an Italian man’s thing to do every January is a cured sausage. During the curing process, the sausage is pressed between pieces of plywood and they use blocks as a weight (it’s a construction thing I guess). So I decided I would start to make my own sausage. So I fashioned a multi level “press” made of plywood, threaded rods, and wing nuts. I control the pressure as the sausage dries and it comes out perfect every time. I also made a cheese press out of two plastic cutting boards purchased at the dollar store. I used the same basic design. I thank my father for treating me like one is his sons.

I bet that’s an incredible project you have going on when you’re using your tools that you built for this. My Italian grandparents would have sausage and cheese hanging all over the place when they were doing theirs. I unfortunately don’t remember the tools they used though. Pretty awesome!

Yeah those Festools are nice for sure. My splinter guard is still perfect…just need to be careful about not cutting past the track

You’re welcome!

1/4” flush trim bit for the edges and a bowl bit from ultra shear bits, I don’t recall the exact bowl bit but I believe it’s 1/2” with 1/8” round over.

Thank you!!! They look really good. 😊

Thanks!

That’s true, if you go beyond the track the splinter guard is toast

@@dellsdiy I wouldnt say toast I get good cuts with mine & do mostly MFC work, most important thing I think is that the saw is tight on the track so the scribe cut matches finishing cut…. I’m obviously careful if the saw goes past the rail however have you seen the Festool track saw with the scribe blade 🤤

@anythinwithanengine6384 I have seen that saw with the secondary scribe blade and it’s 🔥.

Expensive….yes. But once you feel them you’ll know immediately they are high quality. Once you try them, you’ll realize they are well worth the money.

i use these on my table saw and they are great, well worth the money, what is 300 dollars when you consider great cuts and added safety

Couldn’t agree more!

Glad I could help…I’ll be in live in concert in a city near you as well

Welcome to my channel and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching @mattbigbee!

Correct…if you had two tracks you don’t need a solution like this

I agree!!!

It’s cutting the body of the saw or the aluminum rail of the track?

​@@dellsdiythe body of the saw. I can send you a picture.

​@@dellsdiy ruclips.net/user/shortsD2Ek7_PVxwQ?si=W-3qfF7BK9hcGwnC

I’ve never seen that before. Shoot me a pic

@@dellsdiy ruclips.net/user/shortsD2Ek7_PVxwQ?si=W-3qfF7BK9hcGwnC

Track saws help break down large sheets of plywood so they are more manageable on the table saw. Also, track saws work amazingly well to create a straight edge on a board if you don’t have a jointer. I’ll show this in my next full length video where I make side tables

Great question! At some point though you’ll always want to replace your splinter guard especially after changing saw blades if you use a different blade

Thanks for watching Bob. I have never done it so I can’t speak from experience but in my research prior to making the video it’s possible but you’ll need to modify the cyclone container to somehow hold the bag down so it doesn’t get sucked up into the cyclone. Maybe it’s as simple as putting a few rocks or scraps of wood in the bottom of a fresh bag. I don’t know though

It’s a board wax that I make for all of my cutting boards and serving trays. It’s made of mineral oil and beeswax

@@dellsdiy thank you

I just rewatched it and I can see how it looks l shot it right at my finger but my finger was curled out of the way. I shouldn’t have shot that nail like that

@@dellsdiy 42 seconds in dude

Yep

That’s correct but the goal is to never. It off the end of the track. This trick is to cut the guard perfectly so you can use the guard for alignment

Thanks for watching in Phoenix!!!
