The track stays put surprisingly well given that I can't clamp it, and I got a nice clean edge all the way down.

Yeah, when I saw other people using them without clamping I thought it was crazy, but they do hold very well given a decent amount of surface contact. I still try to clamp where I can but the "stay out of the way" official Bosch clamps are £40 so gently caress that.

The only annoyance I have with mine is that when I'm cutting off the end of something there's not enough support under the track once the saw leaves the end enough to get to the middle of the blade. Annoying if I don't have any perfectly sized scraps. If that happens then the pressure lifts the track up a little, breaking the friction and allowing it to slide around.

  • Use better masking tape. The router plate kept tearing and pulling up the tape, which made it more difficult to work with. Thankfully there wasn't any scuffing on the wood.
  • Find a better way to square that first cut. Somehow I have 3 90° corners and one ~95° corner :iiam:. I'll need to pick up a good protractor to measure out the exact angle, so I can cut one of the border boards to fit.

I started the move process. Got the important poo poo moved: computer, stereo, guitars.



I've got a bookshelf to move in, and a small table. I'll probably need to pick up another bookshelf soon too. I've lost the closet I had in my prior room. Still, feels good to finally have this done and be moved in.

Nice! It'll be a shame when you have to move it all out again to put down some nice 10c/sqft lino with a fake brick pattern

Now on to cleaning all the rest of the crap out of my old office and getting ready for painting this weekend.

Nice. How's that patch panel being supported?

 Exciting! Do you need the thread title changed?
