I recently picked up a 50 foot segment of Peachtree Woodworking's 2.5" clear PVC dust collection hose in order to make some custom length hoses. (That is a separate review). In order to terminate those hoses, I grabbed some of Peachtree's screw end dust collection hose adapters. A simple little device that is nothing more than an injection molded part with the standard 2.25" O.D. friction fitting on one end, a flange / stop in the middle, and a 2.5" left hand screw thread on the other.
The molding of this item was amazingly smooth and clean. All injection molded plastic pieces should be this clean! There were no ridges, burrs, or odd pieces dangling from anywhere. Nicely done!
Installing these onto a bulk hose is simple, simply screw it into the hose, remembering that this is a COUNTER threaded item. Keep screwing them down until they stop, and then give the hose a gentle tug to make sure it took right and you are done!
The ends fit the females on my Shop Vac Sawdust Collection system flawlessly.
At the current price of $4.50 each, they are slightly overpriced, however, due to the fact that you do not need a hose clamp to retain the hose while using these, I would say in the long run they are worth what Peachtree is asking for them.
I gave documentation a 1 because this site doesn't have a zero rating. There was no documentation for this, nor should there be. If you can't figure out how to use these reading most likely isn't a strong point for you anyway...
I will be recommending these to my friends that are setting up their own workshops...

Summary
I built my miter station last summer and used the Kreg Precision Trak & Stop Kit. The kit was just the starting point. 8 feet of track and a single flip stop didn’t meet my needs since I was building a miter station the width of my shop, nearly 24 feet. I added four 48” pieces of top track and three additional swing stops so I could have two left and two right. Finally, I added metric rules to the top. Total cost breakdown is as follows

by LCHIENI have always had trouble mounting small hardware on small wood boxes, with the hasps and hinges always looking slightly off perfectly square - particularly a problem with flat head screws and countersunk hardware which aligns the hardware to the hole location and centers on the hole.
I'm talking small wood screws. I place and mark the hardware carefully and mark the center of the hole with a sharp awl.
The problem comes about with small bits like 1/16 and 5/64 and 3/32"...-

by twistsolSince my new shop is in the basement, dust collection is a bit more important than when I had my own building and could do as I pleased in the shop. With that in mind, I upgraded the dust collection on my table saw. I purchased the Grizzly Overarm Blade Guard to use with the saw.
First impressions were that this is an extremely solid and well built unit. It's made mostly of steel and connects to a 4" DC hose. There were a number of issues getting it set up and installed, and a...-

I decided to look for the rock bottom cheapest 32mm drilling system available that would let let me create real 5mm holes spaced 32mm apart, that was easy to use, and didn’t require a bunch of setup time. I’m really surprised at how much I like this little Keg jig especially when you consider the price of $34.99, and it has everything included. There were a couple of jigs cheaper but you needed to buy a self-centering 5mm bit to go along with them so they would...-

by LCHIENHere's a tool I found useful for marking. Accutrax pencil blade marking knife.
I have one I've been using on and off for a while. Its a fine pencil lead in the shape of a utility blade that can be installed in any utility knife handle and used with a straight edge, combination square, saddle square etc. to mark easily seen, fine lines on wood..
Here's mine. I have not broken it, it seems to be quite sturdy. The sharp edge lasts a long time. I'm still on the...-

by LCHIENHey, I'm sharing one of my favorite tools. A Veritas Saddle Square. Actually I have two in different sizes. This is the large size for marking 2x4 and 4x4 (shown on 4x4 here). One of those tools that makes woodworking a pleasure.
They're great for continuing lines from side to side. And even side to opposite side.
Works really well when the board has a rounded edge or some wane where the edge is not really sharp and square but the two adjacent faces are square to...-

I am finding the size consistency among these ends is a little bit sloppy, which isn't a problem on anything other than my AP1301 planer, which has a port that is just a hair snug on a shop vac hose. Most of these connectors do not fit. I am having to use a Ridgid hose end on that one connection...
