You need to go the full monte and get the Oneida Ultimate Dust Deputy:
(which unfortunately, doesn’t look as cool, and which removes the option of using Systainers, further, for my part, I’m glad I bought before Festool added Bluetooth functionality…)
or better still, a Mullet:
which being significantly easier to empty than the Oneida looks to be a big advantage.
Since the Oneida came out, Festool did come up with:
which looks to be pretty convenient to work with, but which apparently is better optimized for contractor usage than in a woodshop? (Not sure if I appreciate the distinction, but that’s an opinion which has been repeatedly stated over on the FOG)
which I have the Imperial version of, but haven’t used enough to justify buying the metric version of — the specific difficulty here is I’m trying to scale up projects past what my BR-6 accommodates, hence my specifically wanting a tape, and because I use metric for CAM and have files open and am checking against them, a metric centering tape would save the friction of having to toggle files to Imperial — arguably, that’s what I should do, since it’s familiar and better suited to the scale of multiple foot long boards…
Every time the CNC is running, if I don’t have something else to do in the same room (prep for next steps, sanding, glue up, etc) I will tidy the shop. Even if I just tidied yesterday. There’s always cleaning to do.
Created a project as I am learning to use my 3D printer and enter the world of 3D design software. Made some organizers for clamp supplies. (the white trim was a mess up, not a design feature, lol)
The tricky thing about cutting a Gridfinity baseplate, as opposed to 3D printing is the matter of the quite shallow 90 degree perimeter at the bottom — unless someone knows of a source for a 1.4mm diameter 90 degree V tool — probably it could be dispensed with, but instead, it looks to be viable to use an inside contour with the narrowest 90 degree V tool which one can source (I used a 1/8" diameter Kyocera):
