My cooling fan is tiny compared to yours. When you say swivel, I gather you are not referring to oscillating. An oscillating cooling fan is valuable.

Great review of a very good tool. My Workmate 300 has been a useful tool for me for 46 years (I’m 71 yo) and still is in great working order. Even the latching mechanisms are still tight. Only deficiency is one of the feet on the fold out leg broke and won’t stay attached. I use and abuse this tool!

That is a nicely done upgrade. I’ve a very old WorkMate 300 that I made a 3/4”x4’x2’ light duty top with a 2x4 spanning the center section that the WorkMate clamped in place. These tool aide are able to accommodate many enhancements.

Can a festool dust extractor work with this if I have a dust port adapter
@VisionlessDesigns3 ай бұрын
I wouldn't think so. The powermatic sander requires a 100mm dust hose attaching to it and an extractor that has a 100mm port or greater that is rated for fine dust. I'm not aware of any Festool dust extractors that have 100mm ports and going from a smaller hose to a larger hose will not provide enough airflow to catch all the dust. And this thing produces a lot of dust.

Hi there, we bought the spindle motor and the VFD separately to give us more flexibility, here are the links if you would like to take a look: VFD - www.omc-stepperonline.com/bd600-series-vfd-5hp-7-5hp-3-7-5-5kw-8-5-13a-three-phase-380v-variable-frequency-drive-bd600-3r7g-5r5p-4 Spindle Motor - www.omc-stepperonline.com/square-spindle-motor-air-cooled-380v-3-5kw-18000rpm-300hz-er25-collet-cnc-engraving-router-milling-grinding-machine-stepperonline-cnc-vfd-motor-380v-ac-spindle-4-bearings-gdz93-82-3-5c4 the feature set of the VFD is pretty overkill for what we need, but it is nice to have access to all the additional features.

@@VisionlessDesigns Thanks! very interesting. Probably overkill for what I'm looking to build and I don't have three-phase electrics, but very interesting setup nonetheless. I'm working on a CNC that can take simple text input commands, for example "move to 0, draw a circle 50 mm diameter 3 mm deep" for simple prototyping.

Looks like an excellent upgrade. I'd really like to do something like this on my own workmate plus but the problem I have currently is the only storage place is up on a wall and even at stock weight it's pretty tricky to put it up and down. I made a separate worktop that clamps into the workmate jaws to extend it's working surface. This works well for some projects but of course I lose the function of the workmate vice and I have to store the extra worktop separately.
@paulvanhouts33656 ай бұрын
I had a couple of old workmates where the original tops failed. I modified them to just foldable work surfaces with 19mm plywood and one I welded a metal top so it became my portable welding table. I made a heavy steel horse with my vice at one end and a pipe vice at the other, yes I don’t have the variety of bench dog clamping abilities but in what I’d I don’t need it. I do like what you have done with your top.

Some people do, but then you are heavily relying on there being a good seal in the gully as that is where all the water will be pooling up and running down. It would also add something for leaf debris to start building up on and possibly block the gully. My granddad has this problem with his roof.

You're an inspiration. I'm fully-sighted and fully able for my age (I wear glasses and also ache after a hard day's woodworking) but I get frustrated when I can't get something right. I can't imagine how you do so well and also cope with the frustration. I'm trying to find words to praise and encourage you without making it sound like you're "lucky" to be blind.
