Its the Delta Model 50-760 dust collector. I've had it for 12+ years. It's been a great unit. The suction was much better after the pleated filter from Wynn Environmental. I ran 4" sewer pipe down the length of the wall (about 26 feet) and have several inlets with aluminum gates. It works great. I don't have a meter to test CFM difference after the mods, but it provides plenty of power.

I would agree, they aren't a durable as I'd hoped. I replaced one after about 30 cuts. I bought a 3 pack and so far, still have two left. I found that if you don't push the blade too hard through the material, it lasts longer.

Thank you! We're in the process of moving, but after that is done, I'll be back to making more content.

@@rustyrockwoodcraft good to know! I'll be on the lookout!

I got a little too impatient on the pour :)

It works very well. Especially with a remote switch to turn on and off when I'm standing at the tool. I use it just about every time that I'm in the shop. Good luck with your build!

It is 70.5" in stationary mode. With the mobility wheel down (to roll), it goes up to just under 71"

Thanks and good luck with your move. I'm doing the same (but from Wisconsin to northern MN) in a few weeks. I'll tear it down and reinstall in the new shop.

I haven't tested that, but if I do, I'll post the result here. I've used it to cut 1/16th inch plate steel and thicker c-channel, but I have broken a blade by pushing it too hard.

You’re welcome!

I looked at that as well, but went with this. I've been happy with it as a Festool alternative that works well. It's been a workhorse in breaking down 4x8 sheet goods in my shop and giving a straight edge to rough-cut or live edge lumber.

Good tip! I use a long straight-edge (Bora edge guide or a 4' level) when joining the tracks to confirm a straight edge. I found the two track sides that consistently work well together and leave the rail connectors in one track so I know which edges to join each time. Results (for my two tracks) have been consistent.

@@rustyrockwoodcraft good to hear. I also was thinking that you could always use a combination square and check to see if it is or not..

I usually just take the dust bag off the saw and put both in the bottom of the Packout. I keep a battery on the saw so it doesn't rattle around. The Packout usually doesn't have anything else in it (maybe a spare blade). I don't worry about getting a bunch of sawdust in it as it is easy to dump out/clean. If I am concerned with the saw banging around (like when transporting), I'll throw an old towel in for padding. I keep the tray on the top for any other loose items that go with my circ saw workflow. It's a pretty simple setup.

I use the DCB609 batteries. These are the 9 amp hour (which is rated at 20v, so 3 amp hour at 60v). I own three of them which is sufficient for all-day cutting (with a battery on the charger at all times). You can find a 6 amp hour and 12 amp hour version of these batteries as well. The nice thing about Flexvolt is that you can use the 60v batteries on both 60v and 20v tools (hence, the ‘flex’).

Any DeWalt 20v will run your saw ..you just won't get a long run time with the smaller batteries

Many thanks!

Yes - I like quality, but couldn't justify that kind of expense for shop drawers. I had a few gaps in some of the boards. But if someone is more picky, they can easily cut boards without gaps for the final boxes, or hide gaps on the underside of the box. Thanks for the watch & comment :)

Many thanks! It was a fun build out and the end result really helps with shop efficiency. I'm still debating on the type of finish to put on them. If you or anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears...

I appreciate that! It was a bit of a mental challenge to figure everything out, but the build itself was fun (which, I guess makes it a bit easier).

@@rustyrockwoodcraft it’s informative. I got a “free” but very rough dust collector so I’m seeing if I should restore it

Thank you. I get more use from this saw then I thought I would. It's easy to grab for a quick cutoff of most anything in the shop.

If you're looking for a FRAM filter, you can go to their website and select lawn mowers. I think other manufacturers will have that on their website as well.

You're welcome

Good suggestion. I'm not opposed to DIY, but think if the dolly fits your need, it's nice to have the brake. If someone has the DIY with a brake, that would be a cool option.

@@rustyrockwoodcraft Mine has breaks on each wheel so you can stop it from any side. Also if you are a time served trades person with product liability insurance does it make it DIY ?

Glad I could help!

I didn't think I would use it as much as I do. It's nice to have a quick cutting option for anything that fits in the opening. Much easier than grabbing a hacksaw.

Thank you!

Thank you!
