I was reading Luckyducks OHDE thread and it struck me as to why they are so damned big.
Long, wide, gets in the way... its all pipes and levers.
Trying to rip or crosscut with one is a nightmare.
Can anyone answer me these questions:
- Why don't I just punch a thousand 1/2" holes into my insert? Like some sort of shaddow board on steroids.
- I currently use a zero clearance insert for each blade, but noticed (!!) the dust collection was terrible. I drilled 3 holes, each 12mm dia at common points along the now-cut kerf at the most likely heights of the blade (blade heights: ~10mm, ~20mm and ~50mm) . Each about 20mm apart. A HUGE amount of the dust gets sucked down these holes as the gullet of the blade centres on the holes. I don't loose the zero-kerfness-loose-my-offcut-into-the-cabinet capacity (better known as the ZKLMOITC) ... ive not seen this before. Is there a reason others don't do this?
- Lastly, WHY does the the dust extractor hood have to be so wide? Why not 1cm?
