Went back to ALDI to do some more shopping LOL and got the work light. Yeah...it's very well made with two circular rows of LED's (72 in all) that provides ample lighting. Same for the magnifying lens, clear magnification with no noticeable distortion.
Early start this morning (for us retirees) with ET to get to our local ALDI so we don't miss out on the sewing machine and table. We were 2nd in line with a nice lady in front of us, she and the guy behind us were all after the same stuff. ET went for the machine and I the table which is 42.5kg, gave the lady a hand with hers and in doing so lost ground as other crowded in behind me but pushed back in and grabbed one assisted by the fact they could not lift the boxes. Later gave the lady in front of us a hand to load her car - my good deed for the year.
Decided to make a jigsaw table which is basically a upside down jigsaw with the blade poking up through the top of a box.
Not much planning beforehand so to get started let’s route out the top for a insert.
Brought my Makita 6012HD 9.6V battery drill back to life!
As with most NiCad's of this vintage the 9.6V battery pack will not accept a charge.
It sill takes a charge so let's run the Makita off that via clip leads.
This is a off-the-cuff dust extraction project for the workshop. The unit sits between the dust source (table saw, mitre saw, router table etc.) and the workshop vacuum to collect all the saw dust and wood shavings. The shop vacuum (ALDI Taurus) simply provides the sucking power.
