    Default Something That Works Well For Me

    Just thought I'd share something that works well for me.
    I use it inside a dust bag and find the size makes it easy to use.
    Have a good one

    Gday DJ

    Actually 2 good points; a good idea and I got the pic to show.

    The clamps are $9.87 for a 2 pack at Bunnings - Craftech I think.

    Is the clamp to replace the little yellow piece of velcro that holds the trigger in the 'on' position?

    The clamp is used to hold the trigger on. Never had a velcro trigger holder.

    One thing I forgot to mention - I ran a bead of hot melt glue along the inside of the jaws to give it more grip. Hard plastic holding hard plastic sounds slippery to me???

    The string is to stop it going into my dc hose

    The yellow velcro thingy disappeared on me one day (Never thought to check the DC ) so I simply ran down to spotlight and bought a couple of metres of 1" velcro fabric tape to make my own.

    Now I have straps sized to suit all sorts of jobs! Doesn't work too well for clamping bits of wood together during glue-ups though.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Jedo.

    Stick the "fluffy" velcro to the hanlde of the saw, and use the spikey bit as a wrap around. that way you can only lose 1 part

    The Velcro's a good idea but I never remove my yellow strap....contrary to the Triton manual I just leave it on all the time and the blade guard retracted all the time. When, after 10 years, these springs lose their spring I'll have to source spare parts. Maybe at my next monthly setup-check I'd better remove those springs so I stop worrying..... What's the quickest route to the trigger spring?

    nothing is so easy to do as when you figure out the impossible.

    That's a good question that probably deserves a new specially titled thread.
    I'm sure lot's of us would be interested; just like the members who went to 10" blades.
