Can anyone that has purchased/used this new vacuum provide any comments on it? Thanks

Thanks Mike. Do you mind taking some pics and sending to me - pm if you prefer. I'm also interested in knowing to what extent you can move, fold down or otherwise reduce the depth of the footprint...

I am looking at the Vega and would like opinions from anyone who has or used one. I don't find much info out there other than spec info from their website. I am a hobbyist.

It needs to be...

Has anyone added a DRO to a Minimax SC4 Elite? What product did you use and how did you affix them to the cross cut extrusion? Pictures would be great.

Thanks.

David, I ended up going with the MM FS41 Elite. Do you mind explaining further how you turned your planer bed crank into the automated thing with the drill and motor coupler. I am not too...

Ok that makes sense. I never had the curiosity to try one plug in a different tool - who knows whether i've actually been doing that and not even known it.

On another point, what size flex have...

I have what perhaps may turn out to be a really dumb question, but... So, i have a number of Festool tools and of course some have cords with different plug. I haven't stopped to figure out how...

Well, thanks to everyone for the posts especially the referral to Sam Blasco. He was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend him for the Minimax line. I ended up going with the FS41 Elite...

Thanks Malcolm. the unit is brand new and nothing is in the grooves. Was dealing with 3.5" wide boards when I started having the problem. Have included/excluded a board clamped opposite the...

My leaning is toward the MM Elite, but am having an issue with the helical thing. Probably nonsense but that's really all I know.

Anyhow, can you send me a pic of the mechanical digital thing? ...

can you share a pic of your dolly you made?

Anything you can share about making your own?

David, how was installing the dro? Where did you buy it and have good instructions/video?

Brian, thanks for the reply.

I suspect you're right on the classic v elite, but I've already got a drum sander :). From what I've been able to tell, the Elite gets you a longer bed (8"), center...

I have become practically paralyzed (over)analyzing the purchase of one of these 3 machines. I am a hobbyist with a desk job and currently have a 6" Powermatic jointer and 13" dewalt lunchbox...

I recently purchased a Leigh D4R Pro jig. Have been trying to get it calibrated to run variably spaced half blind dovetails in 3/4" soft maple stock. I first ran the tail board as instructed in the...
