I think all table saw exhaust ports are compatible with shop vacs. If you have/can borrow one, just hook it up.

Three things to keep in mind when using a circular saw: 1. Take some time to find the correct saw offset that goes right down the middle of the board. Ours was something like 4.85 inches off the median. Running the saw's sled against a straightedge kept all the cuts smooth. 2. Make sure the halves are well supported when you near the end of the cut. 3. Keep that saw sled flat. If the board starts to bow in the middle of the cut, stop and adjust the supports. > i have a handful of friends building hexayurts as well who might be > into it. > Work party! Building lots of Hexayurts with lots of people is better than individual people building individual hexayurts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
