New TS55 maiden voyage some questions

[lablover27]

I'd like to see those Irwin clamp things

The hose:  it will grab hold and make for all kinds of misadventures as will the cord which seems to find the top side
"T" slot like a magnet  if you don't take some action.  most of the time I wrap the hose over my wrist so it is out of the way.  Whatever technique you end up calling your own.  It will soon become second nature.

I have a shop vac hooked up to mine and on almost every cut something grabs, either the shop vac hose or the TS55 cord.  It is quite frustrating, but a small price to pay for the quality cuts you get.  I will have to look into creating something overhead to minimize the frustrations.

 ..., the movable jaw stays put where you put it when the clamps are under the rail.  Festool clamps, regular and quick type seem to "fall open" all the way when using them under the rail. ...

A trick I read on the forum is to put a rubber O-ring on the clamp so the jaw can't fall all the way down. (I haven't tried it myself yet, but I remember that I have to find me some O-rings everytime I need to repeatedly clamp the rail (and soon after I forget it again)

I think that was Brice's o-ring trick...
