I hate when they do that!!
I just send him another mail, but no response- and he asked me the other day, if im interested…idk how many times I should tell him YES 😀
I had a guy like that for a dewalt dcd985 hammerdrill who wouldn’t email me back for days sometimes and then I have up on him well he ended up emailing me like a weekend later and asked if I still wanted it he was askin 150$ and I told him I only had 80$ and dude he took it! I got a brand spankin new in the box hammerdrill for 80 bucks!! And this was like mayby 6-8monthes after they just hit the stores!
wow you are a lucky winner 😀
Was that a bare tool or kit for $80 Bigmikez? If that was a kit you got a smoking deal!
DR it was a kit!!
did he mentioned something, why he was going to sell it?
Nope the guy didn’t look like a tool guy at all but hey who am I to ask question…. I just opened out made sure it was all there and ran!
nice – i would have done the same
🙂
So you guys have this easy to take off throat plate on the DeWALT tablesaws in the US. Somehow we don’t have that.
I’ve been looking at it several times and someone even told me it wouldn’t fit. I’m stubborn when it comes to things like this.
Got online and found a parts dealer that ships internationally. So I’m happy to now have something simple as a throatplate that you can remove by hand rather than with a hex key. Simple, but makes life behind the tablesaw a bit easier 😉
On the left is the original throat plate that comes standard on the tablesaws in Europe.

I’ve got the same plate on my 745. Love it. Man the fence I’d dead nuts accurate too!
I have an older 745 with the plate that requires a Phillips screwdriver to turn the one screw and remove. . Good to know that the new tool-less style Will work. I’m definitely gonna swap that out!
Thanks
I have the DW 744 XRS and the Dado plate I have should fit the 745 also
Okay so let me ask you this Regopit….everybody says no on the dado set for the 745 but I have read a couple of opinions that you can. What’s your thoughts on it? I’d really like to put a Freud set on there but am truthfully nervous!
NER, my 745 came with that plate which is awesome and they increased the max cut width too! The fence is fantastic and I’m really having fun with this little guy. I’m not cutting sheets, I use my TS55REQ for that but it is awesome at what I am using it for.
It is a great saw for sure!
My take on the dado is that the motor might not be quite up to par and it’s small and light so they don’t want idiots damaging the saw or themselves.. I don’t take you for an idiot so listen to the saw and use your judgement. Run multiple shallow passes to ease the stress on the saw.
I have actually never tried to put a dado stack on my saw so I’m not positive but I would imagine that the arbor length may limit you to the max dado width you can run.
I would say you should be able to engage all threads on the arbor nut to call it good
Do you have a router table or a router that will run on your track saw rails? That’s always another option
Yeah, I’ve got the OF1400 with the track guide assembly. Probably the smartest way but you never know what someone else may say. Regardless, I’m not going to drop a bone on a decent blade set before somebody says yeah or nay.
True.. I would just forget the Dado stack and rock the router.. that’s all I do..
Im not with my saw otherwise i would check , How much of the arbor sticks out past the nut with a regular blade installed?
Yep just checked I have 744 xrs, I use dados with and it does have a tough time at max. I do recall something about 745 not using dados.
Oh yeah those plates drive me nuts, I had a hell of a time getting those thins to level out.
Thanks Chad and NER, I’ll do the router thing. If you can get your hand on that throat place Chad, it is pretty sweet, leveling isn’t a problem and the thumb screw works slick as snot.
For some reason mine is a pain to level. I still like the plates. I kind of questioned wether it was actually the saw itself. If you look at where it sits it’s small tabs. I’m sure they can get out of whack.
So there is ToughSystem and there’s T-Stak. What about a ToughStack….

Measuring 360cm. Who’s got the tallest? 😉
there is still some space until you reach the ceiling haha
I know if i put my Ridgid storage containers the pile would be pretty High. I have it kind of set up but I need to get some foam and really get things going. I have just had a case of the blahs after getting sick twice so far this winter and the cold.

are you putting a challenge out there??? can i enter with systainers?
How many Systainers NER?
Mine is the same height saw this but with less smaller boxes and with the large boxes

ooh boy…. too many! monday ill count them up when I’m back on my job site.. maybe i can get over there tomorrow.
lets just say I’m gonna have to stack them up outside!!
Let’s open a new topic somewhere and see who’s got the tallest, most expensive or whatnot stack…
where are your 2 drawer boxes. im sure you could do with a few
nice colection

I don’t own any of those drawers units. Drawers are nice though. Might need to look into it, but I rather have fixed drawers somewhere than portable drawers.

Mr Yellow – Was just looking at the pics of your van mate…Well impressed! Just wondering – do you have any of the DS400 boxes or don’t you bother with them?
Thanks Darren! I do have one DS400 which I use for regular storage in the workshop, but I don’t have any of them in the van.
I find them rather big and everything I use can fit in a DS300 or DS150.
that’s fair enough mate. I’m literally about to invest in my first lot of toughsystem boxes as they seem a lot more practical for me compared to systainers. I just need to figure out a way to modify the trolley to hold an extra set of brackets in the hope to carry all of my kit from the van in two trips…
Finally started to make a work table for my miter stand. Waiting for a 4-way powerblock to come in which will be mounted underneath near the back.
This way I can power the 2-way charger that’s mounted underneath, the mitersaw and still have some available sockets for different tools.
First I was thinking to drill 2 holes near the front edge to park my drill/driver and impact, but I think I will go with the PCV cubbies that I’ve seen people using so I could hang them under the table and have more space left for other stuff. Ordered some black PVC. Might go with aluminum in the end if I’m satisfied with that setup.

Looks sharp. I like the adaption of the quick releases.
Yeah that is pretty sweet Mr Yellow. Would be cool if you could raise to a material support level with the cutting table too. Awesome idea and super craftsmanship there sir! Love the pic with the charger set up. Fantastic stuff!
Cheers guys! The idea came from Rossi7x though!
That would be nice Chris. Good one!
Perhaps with some extra supports than can be positioned on top. I might look into that later…
I’m constantly altering it though, doing this, maybe that… I was about to screw that powerbrick underneath, a cordwrap and be done…
Now I added some slides underneath for another platform where the powerbrick sits somewhat flush with the surface so I can access it from the top, rather than from the back.
This will also give me extra space to store stuff like my radio, but then I had the idea to add 2 little hooks to the underside of the stand, so I can hang my radio there and keeping valuable space.
I’ll post some new pics soon. I just added the aluminum rails underneath on which I bolted the slides. Lots of measuring and stuff, because there’s other stuff to be mounted and I have little space to play with. But it seems to work out and it keeps me busy ha 😉
Well, I’m making things too complicated. Put the sliding platform in. Measurements? Ok! Execution? Ok! Operation? Terrible!
The slides are nice. Nothing heavy. They can only hold 45kg, but for a little platform for some tools that is enough. It’s just when fully extracted there is this horrible sideways play. I don’t get it. Maybe I should’ve used different slides…
I’m thinking of just locking the slides so that it only extracts halfway. There is still some play but not as much when fully extracted.
They are push-to-open slides so when in the closed position it holds the platform so it won’t slide out on it’s own.
Anyway, this is it so far… stupid f*7#ing thing. It’s not even done and I hate it already 😉
The black spacers between the brackets and table are just temporary. Getting some decent spacers tomorrow.

I locked the slides so that it only extracts halfway, like in the 2nd picture above. It’s better now, but still I’m not happy.
Also because now I carry extra weight that is not used.
I’ve made a backplate with a cutout for the powerbrick. Think I will remove the platform and slides and just put the backplate in there.
Less complicated, lighter in weight and better protection from the elements for the powerbrick…
So I ditched the platform and slides. This will be better I think. Finished the backpanel today…
This is the front of powerbrick housing where I built around an extra casing so I can better attach it to the table and to give it a better look.
It has another purpose though. When I put this inside the backpanel and screw the topplate on it clamps itself in the backplate. I can’t really screw it in there since there is little room and the way the powerbrick is designed, when it deforms ever so slighty I can’t get the top on there the way it should be.
The other part is the backside of the backpanel. Don’t mind the sloppy cutout.

The powerbrick backside and front of the backpanel…
I added 2 ports on the powerbrick. At first I just wanted to drill a hole in the powerbrick and run the cable from the charger directly in there and hook it up.
I came back from that idea merely because I needed a different way to get the powercable in there. The original inlet position is on the left side of the housing that is covered about half due to the thickness of the backpanel. So I needed to change that.
I had some Neutrik Powercon True1 connectors and stuff laying around. Got them last year when I saw a topic on the Mafell users forum where a guy converted the powercables from his Mafell tools to Neutrik ones. So to get a similar thing like Festool’s Plug-it. I decided it wasn’t for me, but the plugs and stuff came in handy now. They are 250v/16A rated and are IP65.
Main reason to use these and not running the cords directly into the powerbrick is because I want to be able to disconnect the charger in case it breaks so I don’t have to open the powerbrick (I would have to remove the whole thing, not just the cover) or when it causes a fuse to blow I can disconnect it and still use the power outlets.
As for the power inlet. If the powercable happens to break or damage I can easily switch it out without open the whole thing. Just unplug it.
On the left is the Neutrik power inlet, on the right it’s the power outlet for the charger. The screws need to be replaced. All fasteners I used on the table are stainless, but the ones I got for these in/outlets were too short. These things happen when you change ideas as you go on… 😉
Put some regular ones in there to hold it in place so I could wire it.

In place, looking at it from the bottom of the table. Already attached the powercon plug to the charger.

This is what it will look like when done…
I haven’t screwed it in place yet. Might put it a little more under the table, but not too far. It needs to be easy accessible ofcourse.
[External image (cl.ly), not copied]
[External image (cl.ly), not copied]
As for the table, all that needs to be done is the cubbies for the drills. Decided PVC isn’t what I wanted so now I ordered a couple pieces of aluminum pipe in 2 sizes. Much stronger and looks better altogether I think.
I know I’m probably taking it too far as it is just a work table, but that is just me 😉
I’m loving that table , I made basic one after seeing rossi7x one , I’m loving the finish on that , the way I see it if your customers see how much time and care you put into your tools and van , how good will the job be that you do for them !!

Waiting for the aluminum to arrive….on monday…
Also ordered a pair of aluminum cleats which will act as a cordwrap. Not sure on the length of the cable yet as I’m thinking about adding some hooks to the underside from my miterstand and add a long extension cord there. So when I take out the stand I also have a long cord available. Then add the saw that can be connected directly or with the table and I’m good to go…
