Awesome video. You make it look easy.

[@AM-lq7li]

Great job, thank you

[@harlanralph2696]

Good job

[@robertgarvey5872]

Great video. Thanks. Do you have the Makita track saw as well? Do you recommend that tool?

[@MHTutorials3D]

I thought I was playing the video at 4X speed. Jeez man, did you drink a gallon of coffee ?

[@Rumeel12708]

Would you recommend a DIYer to jump on the 40/80v line up or just jump on the 18v line up?

Hey Dusty I need to cut circles in my speakerbox faceplates with up to three inches thickness at times, what would be your recommendation to do it as quickly as possible? Awesome vid

[@jakeb7244]

All those cool tools and no safety glasses? Nice cut

Or ear protection or a dust mask.

Anyone know how the 321492-3 (guide bushing adapter) fits with this base?

[@paulkc10]

Is there any type of dust attachment for use with the plunge base that you're aware of?

[@dustylumberco]

Yes there is - you can see I have it on in the vid I just don’t have the vac hooked up

[@paulkc10]

@@dustylumberco ah okay I see it on the side closest to you now. Thanks!

[@turtleman190]

Dose using the router on the track distroy the splinter guard for the saw or dose it not affect it

[@dustylumberco]

You set the router at the right distance to no wreck it

[@grahambrown5874]

Your router is rocking off the guide rail. When you assembled the router clamp there would have been an adjuster guide to attached to the clamp that you can set to stop it rocking.

[@carterscustomrods]

I noticed that as well.

[@WhereisWalashek]

is that something that can be adjusted out of the setup he has?

[@jake8074]

Where`s your eye protection? Wait... you`re a grown ass man. Carry on sir! Thanks for sharing!

[@scottpiggott7600]

No eye protection?????

[@Opus766]

He's squinting

[@northeastcorals]

@@Opus766 The safety squint technique 😜

[@GraemeWoller]

Where's your eye and ear protection!

[@northeastcorals]

I always scroll down the comments in DIY videos just to find this particular one 😅

[@Kelthor85]

And dust collection 🤓

[@janbarrettnielsen2559]

hmm....wondering why you pull the router backwards instead of pushing forwards? It seems counterintuitive since the bit rotates clockwise, and pulling back when having the router on the right side of the wood makes it just run back without cutting as efficiently as the other way around.
And you don't seem to mention that, if you want 90 degree square cuts on the rail, there is 2 tiny plastic inserts for the rail adaptor which lifts the router and the adaptor to those 90 degrees - not using it makes the router cut at a skewed or slightly off angle.
Are my eyes fooling me or did you forget something important?
