    I really hope so, Jim; so excited!

    New 20" planer is already here and my Stinger II left Georgia yesterday and is in transit to the Lehigh Valley.

    So many new toys to play with and learn how to use!

    Oooh...I was going to ask you when your yellow monster would be arriving! I'll have to schedule a field trip to see things when time and the virus allows. And yes, I still have the Camaster swag for you.

    Tommy, would you mind sharing the PN’s on that Magport setup? It keeps coming up in A3 conversations and I have no experience with them. Thanks,

    I just used a very short piece of 5" flex hose to attach that to my A3-31.

    Wow! I was thinking of going up from my Rockler 4" quick connect set up to the Magport, but at $160 to hook up my machines!...

    Any discount codes??

    Taking a cue from a youtube video on the A3-41, I'm trying the Rockler schedule 40 to 4" adapter and their quick fit adapter stacked on each other - should allow me to go from the 120mm port to the same handle I use on other machines. If that doesn't work, Magport it is based on Mr. Crawford's success here.

    Some creative spirit should 3D-print a snorkel that replaces the entire factory plastic piece and integrates that magnetic flange. As many A3 owners as their are, you could make a fortune.

    I love my Magport fittings, with two main drops that service about 7 different machines, it make switch over so easy.

    Nice video Chris, thank you.

    Just wondering why you use a Magport on the Rockler quick connect, when you can just connect them quickly without?

    Obvious follow-up question - why has Felder made this endeavor necessary? I’m not being snarky, I’m awaiting delivery of my own A3-41 (fingers crossed, this week) and I’d have bought any optional factory snorkel to get into my (typical) dust collection setup.
