Paulk-like Workbench with integrated CSC SYS 50

[onocoffee]

I think it turned out great. I have the cheap two barreled Kreg pocket hole jig - the type you clamp to the workpiece. Got it nearly ten years ago and it's perfectly fine for my needs. They do have a steel sleeve that works well.

Since you're no longer taking it to jobsites, you might consider building a rolling base to house the vac and a bunch of Systainers.

Nice work! Really well done.

Can you fit 8amp batteries?

At a Rockler demo, the Festool rep showed the 8Ah battery sitting flush with the side of the CSC SYS 50.

After a ponder, that makes sense.

With the 8.0 batteries on the saw, the whole thing still has to fit inside the systainer.

Even with the 8ah batteries fitted there's still a bit of free space all around the width and length, so if Festool released a larger capacity battery it would fit unless it was dramatically larger.

Hopefully with the new batteries coming out this will be a consideration. The SYS 50 really needs the 8ah as a minimum in general.

My question about the 8amp battery fitting refers to this photo. Looks like the clearance for a larger battery is limited in the front of the bench.

That is just a confusing look from the "inside". If you look the other photos from the front you can see there is a flat "side" touching the saw, OP will be fine there.

Great job!
