I’d like to get rid of the power cable if I can; it manages itself to get caught in homing cycles pretty regularly (and when it causes the limit switches to not engage that sometimes ends up not so nice) and is not great in how power is routed in my shop area (other side of the machine etc).
So this isn’t about toys really; I understand it’s paramount to keep the battery charged but most of the time I split projects in jobs less than 1 hour for reliability reasons anyway.
M3/M5 don’t work for my dewalt anyway since it has a discrete power switch so I wouldn’t be losing that.
