Purchased for my DeWalt DWE7480. Good fit and precision that you would expect from a CNC made product. I noted some minor chipping in the MDF around the leveling screw holes, and experienced an issue with the riving knife catching on the insert when raising the saw blade. So far, I’m only able to set my saw blade at 1″ maximum height with my original riving knife installed without having to make further modification. I’m interested in finding a modified riving knife that would match nicely with this insert. As for the minor MDF chipping, I would like to see (and would pay for) a material that’s of higher quality. Lastly, adding an option for secure attachment to the saw table would be appreciated, such as a similar design to the DWE7480 original throat plate quarter turn locking mechanism.
Pros: I was quite impressed with the build quality of this tool. it has a solid feel and fits perfectly on the router. I’ve tried it out a couple of times now, and the dust extraction is exceptional. Cutting a 1/2 groove resulted in nearly zero dust escaping.
Cons: I have pretty much every size vacuum hose there is along with tons of adapters and the 1.25″ version I got didn’t readily fit any of them. I found one that if I jam it in as far as it will go it seems to stay in place OK. My biggest complaint is that the efficient design also efficiently blocks any view of the LED-lighted bit. I’m planning on maybe cutting a viewing port and covering it with some curved acrylic.
**4.5 Stars** (5 Stars w/ 1 Small Caveat
Product is built well, seems durable (haven’t dropped it hard/hit it with anything just yet) and priced fairly compared to other options. Only small issue with this adapter was it felt a bit loose when installed out of the box, can’t speak to any potential issues collecting the dust but was too loose for my old. A quick few wraps with electrical tape solved the issue and now fits snug with only 30seconds of extra work and a foot or so of tape. Would absolutely recommend this product to a friend (assuming you have some tape on hand)!
Update: Problem was solved and this works great on my Festool tracks!
