So this happened. :D
Always secure your load.

[Dan Friedrichs]

Did you....bleed all over it, too? :confused:

[Frank Pratt]

And the rest of the story?

[Peter Kuhlman]

Is there an active murder investigation???
Are you a suspect???
;)

[lowell holmes]

Happily, I don't see any finger tips there.

[johnny means]

Ironically, it did actually cut me pretty good. I thought it happened in the back of a company truck but then I found small pieces strewn across the parking lot. Could be multiple crime scenes.

Have no idea what the pics are of or what's going on.

Looks like some important bits of a >$500 vacuum have been unintentionally impact tested with unfavorable results.

He shoulda bought a Ridgid :)

He shoulda bought a Ridgid :)

He might be, after this :D

He shoulda bought a Ridgid :)

...and a Porsche, with the spare change! :eek:

(I'm saying this as a funny)

It is endlessly fascinating to me how otherwise presumably intelligent people persist in the belief that the laws of physics cease to exist in the back of their pickups or the trunks of their cars.

Sorry that happened. What a heartbreak.

This is a good thread for this kind of thing:

....When you install your brand new Tersa carbides and nick them 10bf later....

Whose next?

What took you so long? Shoulda happened before 10bf... :) :D

Johnny...that really sucks. Err....bites. Is it salvageable or damaged beyond that?

[Patrick Kane]

I had a recently sharpened RK back from laguna come into contact with a ceramic guide about 12-15 mins after taking it out of the box and putting it on the saw. Thankfully Laguna helped me out on that one since the ceramic guide came loose from the aluminum block, but still sucked. Ceramic dulls carbide pretty quickly.

If the vac still works, you can maybe make it a stationary DC for a miter saw or at a work bench. just need to make the whole thing airtight again.

I guess it's a blessing that it's not the $890 version... ;)

[Matt Day]

I see a shredded Festool vac. No idea what happened though.

Sounds like...it took a header off the back of a vehicle...

I once, maybe twice, did not secure my load. I am now a father.

[David Utterback]

Guessing that duct tape would be unseemly. ;)

Seeing as how repairing it should cost me $150, some duct tape was exactly the remedy. She's now relegated to permanent limited duty at the miter saw station.

Huh? I guess I don't get it.

Owned for one hour..

Previous owner removed all the nuts off the bolts holding it to the base. I didn't realize until it came flying out of the truck during a u turn about 500' from my destination.

Fixed it by throwing 2x the purchase $$ into replacement parts.

New carbide resaw for my band saw. Hit grown in 3/8 bolt about 5' in the first piece. I know your pain.
