    Instead of making their dust collection outlet a standard size that will easily connect to shop vac hoses, Dewalt wants everyone to buy their vacuum adapter (available online for between $25-40).

    I saw this method of making my own adapter, tried it using an old Sparkling Ice bottle, and it works pretty well for no additional cost:

        Sure, but then I'd need access to a 3D printer and the inputs. I already had everything I needed for this solution and it only took a few minutes. The solution isn't as elegant as a 3D print, but, as my grandpa used to say, "It's good enough for who it's for."

            Got it. Of course, that would still require more money and waiting time than the solution I employed.

                  Even if we'd removed the outlet instead of just moving it, we would still have an outlet in the island because some genius thought it would be a good idea to lean down every time one wants to reheat something. There is a cubby on the side of the island for the microwave. We moved the microwave to a kitchen counter.

                  Here's what the countertop looks like after round 2:

                  The edges still aren't doing what I want, but they're better than last night.
                  Here's the latest version. We did an "exotic pour" thus time. We mixed up the epoxy, separated it into various containers, colored each container uniquely,and then poured each color back into the big container. Then, without mixing, we poured it out onto the countertop.

                      The edges turned out much better thus time.

                      The colors are more subtle, too.

                        Looks very nice baldy.
                        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                          Well done!
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                              What are you talking about? It's a veritable orgy of penises:
