"this item was At the Dewalt media event I inquired whether an accessory power cord was in the making, so users could plug into a power outlet for AC current." I guess my post was focused more towards the fact that we were told by Concord Carpenter that: It would require some wiring pigtails and switch modifications, but a guy with average electrical skills could make it work. If they had that, it would be possible to use the 120v Flexvolt miter saw adapter as long as you ran the table saw and vacuum together. The new tool I’d really like to see is a 60v Flexvolt shop vac that has a handle and wheels to be a Tough System base. I mainly use the 7 1/4” slider though, so it’s not a big deal. I went with the 718 corded 12” miter saw over the Flexvolt since I didn’t want to dedicate 4 batteries to it, but now that I have a bunch I wish I had gotten the Flexvolt instead. I have to agree, especially once you start adding extra Flexvolt batteries. They definitely have their place and nearly all who have the FlexVolt table saw have nothing but praise for it (outside of the on/off switch). If you will be ripping all day, then battery isn't for you. If you use a 9.0ah/3.0ah or the 12.0ah/4.0ah in the saw, it will easily rip 2x material. To be honest, most would not use it once you run it off batteries. I mentioned this in a post earlier, if they were bringing an adapter out it would be the biggest selling point for me but curious to how it would work myself like for example if I had a 110v dewalt vacuum will I be able to plug it into the power take off socket on the vacuum. Does anyone think Dewalt wont make an adapter and instead make a 120v table saw? Should they make both a 60v adapter and a 120v table saw? What do you guys think? Also what about the Europe market that runs on 240v? I wonder if the adapter for the table saw would work with other 60v tools. The miter saw didn't have this issue because it already was a 120v tool and needed no conversion. Don't know if we will actually get an adapter then. The reason Dewalt was unable to provide an adapter for the table saw was because of the added challenge converting 120v power to 60v. The video was posted on August 5th so I'm guessing in around 5 months we should at least get some more information about a power adapter for the table saw. He said look out for it in 9 months or so. Just watched a video about the FlexVolt table saw and the guy mentioned Dewalt is working on a power adapter for the table saw.
