I would think any tap would work fine since it's just wood. Get a tapered and bottom tap. Not sure if this is a thing, but I've always liked taping the hole, then letting thin CA glue soak into the threads, and then taping again.
Just the outlet so it fits that plug without an adapter.
Might need to let the wood settle for a week after first surfacing. I had no issues with all the rough lumber I used for mine though.
Put up a French cleat wall to utilize some space behind my saw station. Testing using T-track and dowels for my red tools. Will build something proper soon.
Large shavings jammed it up? That's pretty weird, only issue I have with mine is it works so well, it can fill up the chute at the end of the cyclone faster than gravity can dump it into the can. Next system will have a rotary airlock.
ClearVue, goes direct to the motor.
I think I mentioned this before, check all the power adapters for the blast gates and make sure they are AC/AC not AC/DC.
You obviously don’t use your holder for also hanging your brass balls like I did.
