Ed, thanks for pointing out the good video from Dave Stanton. I have enjoyed watching his stuff for several years. These things that he has made remind me of something someone made and (I think) had posted on the Festool Owner's Group forum a few years back. I recall I tried to buy a set but then th...

Hello Andrew, I missed this and so I am sorry for the delay in response to your question. No, the PC#314 had no factory dust port. The thing that Dino at EurekaZone had installed on his #314 looked like something he had fabbed in his shop. If I can find his video again, I will post it for your refer...

I did a trial run for our Federal return last night with the software from work. My retirement job has me doing tax work for part of the year--for just enough time to make me appreciate not working full time anymore. Kudos Dusty for getting ahead of the curve.

Dusty, that's too bad. But thanks for checking for me.

So Sorry. It does not seem to be there anymore. In fact. none of my uTube videos are there.
