Way I look at it, baking and cooking is just another excuse to buy more tools.I know my man card may be in doubt now, but I was baking something and didn't have a mixer. Wow, now it is no longer in doubt. I think I lost it.
At least it is Black and Decker
I know, that doesn't help much.![]()

At 3 Bill's I'd be looking at the M18 backpack vac. But then again, I'm really into cordless.I've had my little Oreck vacuum for the truck for a while now. And it's not bad, always wished it had a little more suction. Use it for cleaning up floors, the insides of cabinets and on my belt sander when I am scribing cabinets. The bag is pretty small but then again, so isn't the vacuum. I figure it has about 65 CFM. Works great on floors but doesn't have much pull in cabinets, you have to be right on the dust. Works well enough for the belt sander.
Made a small box for it in the truck and it fits in snug and doesn't take up much room which was the number 1 reason for the choice.

I've kept an eye out for small vacuums and came across the Metro line for car detailers. Just a bit bigger than my Oreck and much more powerful. 130CFM which is about what the Festool vac pull. Plus 95 inch of water so it can keep going when the bag gets near full.
Came with a bunch of tools, more than I've shown here. Has a little 4 wheeled dolly that I likely won't be using mostly to keep it compact. Since my Oreck tools work with the Metro and I have them fit to the truck setup I'll be using the Oreck tools. The wand is retractable and the floor tool has more metal in it.

I had to make a new box because it's taller by 2" and the hose ports stick out instead of in. Took about an hour to make/modify and it all fits nice. Best thing is I still get to keep my Milwaukee Rocket Light in that compartment of the truck. I was a bit worried because it was already a tight fit.

So we'll see how this one works out. The vacuum is all metal and made in the US. Cost about $280 which is about $200 more than the Oreck. It's pretty quiet, not as quiet as my Fein, but way more quiet than my Ridgid. Not sure you could use it on a tablesaw only because the bag is small. Same with a chopsaw, but that would be more feasible.
It's a great saw. Get it already.Ganahl has them for 299.0 for the saw four batteries and the double charger. Tomorrow only. Or 199.00 for the saw and two batteries.

Rumor is that's in the works for 2019. I really hope it's true.
You should paint it red while you're at it. Make it suck even faster that way.Souped up my vacuum :laughing:
Put a K&N filter on it along with a 50' cord. Musta added 10 HP :whistling

Ya, you're all asking why, aren't you.
Air in equals air out. 130 CFM in is 130 CFM out. A pretty powerful stream of air comes out the opposite side of the vacuum when it's operating. Blows the dust around, the dust I'm trying to collect. Looked for a filter with 1 1/4" opening and this fit the ticket. It doesn't restrict air flow that much, maybe a couple 10ths of a percent, if that. And the stream of air is dissipated extremely well.

Makita has a 12v 3-3/8" blade right cordless. That small enough for ya?
Makita has a 6-1/2"blade right 18v, and it is awesome.
If I was one of those you tubers that did how to videos, I would do a series using nothing but tools from that era. With an emphasis on the Montgomery ward Power Kraft line.
It's throwing off a 70s vibe to me. Not a model or serial # anywhere to be found. But most of the 60s stuff was beefier, and the 80s seemed to have more plastic.
Still gotta pop the door off to seal the bottom.Saw this on the Crain 835 box...

I would not have thought to try this. Brilliant-saves time from having to pull out the TS55 and pop the pins.

I've never used a kapex, but I am pretty happy with my Flexvolt slider.
