I like the ratcheting cuffs that HD sells. They come in different sizes and close on themselves like handcuffs with a thumblever to release the ratchet. Great for any type of hose, extension cords, rope, etc.. The large size works well on water hose.Brice Burrell said:B_Swanson said:BTW, the 18" Gear Ties are $5 per pair.

For $5 you can get 30-50 velcro straps for the Depot that work even better.

It has to be cut to size first before using the saw. How did you do this? Just set it on the edge 3/4" plywood and make the initial cut?
First off Chief from one Sea Dog (Leatherneck) to another [welcome], now you can watch those retirement checks shrink [eek], I used to use velcro and got tired of the fowling, the cuffs make for easy storage in the "Rope Locker"...Welcome Aboard.USNavyChiefRet said:I use the velcro wraps. Have used them for awhile on computer cables and they work great for that. I looked at the "cuffs" HD has and almost pulled the trigger on those but thought I would save my money and use the velcro.

I dont know what the kerf is for the Freud blades. Festool's blades for the TS 55 are set for 2.2 mm kerf, so you don't have to change the splinter guard. Something to consider.USNavyChiefRet said:Thanks, Ken. I am a fan of Freud blades. I use on my Jet ProShop table saw. I have three so far. A thin kerf combo, thin kerf glue line rip blade and just purchased a "Diablo" 80 some tooth blade for cutting plywood veneers and it works great! I was a little skeptical of it at first having purchased the Freud Indsutrial blades (combo & glue line rip), but it performed real well cutting two sided melamine. No chip out at all.
Thanks alot Ken.
