Mark J Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Paul, that sounds very cool. I'm thinking of taking a turning class there in Oct., but I think I'll go ahead and be jealous of you anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like a caveman having to turn the switch on and off by hand. Lol Can you answer me this question. If the vac is set to auto and I'm using a corded tool are there steps to take to turn on the vac with the bluetooth button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jussi Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Forgive me if I misunderstood the question but do you mean if a tool that is NOT plugged into the vac? If so, yes, this unit comes with a remote that attaches to the hose end. The ideal situation however is to use it with BT batteries. If the tool IS attached to the vac then there is no reason to use the BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to have to go all bluetooth esentially. Can i shut off the sander disconnect the hose and then hit the bluetooth button or are there steps to switch over? I honestly find myself running my sander with the hose disconnected because i'm too lazy to bend over and turn the dial. Yes that sound aweful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure of the answer but didn’t want to reply until I tested it out. There is no need to do anything to use the bt switch with a corded cool attached.

pkinneb Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 10 hours ago, jussi said: Wow those are gorgeous. Look as nice as vesper gauge. jussi one of the reasons I got this set is becuase I wanted a 3" and Vesper has been out of stock for many months with no restock expected anytime soon. I have a Vesper 6" and will tell you it is flawless, a real piece of art. These are very high quality but together were still cheaper then my Vesper. I would say they are high quality but the Vesper is higher. Ultimately they both perform functionally the same but I would still give the Vesper the higher overall ratings but again at over double the cost. 9 hours ago, Coop said: Mine are several years old and maybe they have made changes but the wing nut is wider than the width of the tool itself which makes adjustments necessary, depending on the angle. Yep that's the problem I had with the 3" I purchased at Lee Valley the wing nut always got in the way. Blue Spruce put these on sales so I ordered a set. They are very nice and the knob on the end works wonders compared to the wing nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Could one swap out the wing nut for something smaller, or a different type of nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 If one has to choose function over form, the Starrett 47 universal bevel beats them all. I have one, it's a great little tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately all first world issues but still Yeah, I like the knob on the end better, I have a vintage Disston bevel gauge with that feature and works great. The problem is that the thing is huge when compared to the Starrett. The main advantage of the Starrett one is that you can slide the blade on the stock. That's very useful in certain situations. I even used it for dovetail marking until I made my markers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Yes, I empty it pretty frequently. That and the pleated filter as well even though it has had very little dust in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
