Dino, I was notified, that you were up to your old tricks running around libeling people. For the record, I do not now nor have I ever worked for Festool. Nor have I been paid even one penny for my reviews and comments about Festool (or any other company). Since I've made this statement...

Actually the short body is exactly the reason that I bought it. At time time I bought it, I was sistering the joists in a garage and I needed to screw in lag screws in a confined space. It worked great for that. That said, that' one of the reasons I liked my Makita Impact driver - the short...

I have the C12 plus chuck kit plus depth-stop chuck. I bought mine and have no affiliation with Festool other than as a customer. (I do however post on the Festool Owners Group a lot.) I think it's a great drill - very high quality and powerful for it size and voltage. This is probably...

Here's thread on the Festool Owners Group forum by a TS55 user who made a cutting table using Triton stands: http://festoolownersgroup.com/index.php ... en#msg9124. That should help answer some questions. There are several threads on the FOG forum about cutting tables. Me? I just use the...

Hooked? Me? Nah... I have only five or maybe six pieces left to buy. Of course, that's this year. :D Now there's a new MFK700 trim router that looks mighty fine... Dan.

Most avid Festool users (like me) will give the Festool Jigsaws and routers high marks, but not necessarily icon status. I have the D-handle jigsaw and the OF1400. They work very well, but there are other good jigsaws and routers out there too. I have the new CT22 and the RO150. IMO...

The Australian (ubeaut) forum and the Festool Owners Group (FOG) forum are both great resources for Festool info. And when you feel the Festool addiction taking hold, they will provide support and comfort! (I.e., "Buy, buy, buy!!!") 8) Dan.

:D

Steep slope?!? Nah, no slope that I can see. 8) Regards, Dan. p.s. Don't look below this line! :shock:

Chris, I'd love to help, but I don't own one yet. You might want to post on the Festool Owners Group (FOG) forum. FOG is open to anyone who owns Festool tools or is just interested. Currently it has members from many countries including the UK. Heck, some of us Americans even speak...

I don't own this yet, so I can't comment on "worth". (It's on my to-buy list.) However, here are two pages that provide some more info. This page has two videos on the LR32: http://www.burrellcustomcarpentry.com/Download.html . This page shows an animation of the how to user the LR32...

Jason, DD, Thanks for the feedback. I went to the Festool Australia forum. No joy there. I'll stop here so the thread can get back on topic. Regards, Dan.

DD, Thanks for the info. I looked at the MFK specs and I can't find anything about the maximum lip width. I wonder if it's the same as the OFK. (I might be able to live with the maximum lip width, but I'm not sure.) What fascinates me is the dual router base concept - horizontal like the...

Hi. Festool just came out with a Trim Router. Here's a link I do NOT have one of these and they are not even available on this side of the pond, but they look nice. I might buy one when available. So... Do you think the MFK700 would be useful for this kind of application? Are they...

Another option... I have no idea if this would meet your needs, but it should be a lot easier and faster to build than a large, traditional router table: http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/ ... x?id=28007 Since I don't have a lot of extra space, I'm going to build one within the next two...

I'd get one or more packs of tape. Eventually they wear a bit and you'll want to replace it. Just make sure that you have enough for the entire length of your guides. Try the "Splinterguard FS-SP 3000". That way you can cut it to length for your two guides. Please reconsider getting the...

Dibs, The reason that I suggested the 1900 + 1080 is that 1) you'll get an extra 180mm (which you'll appreciate) and 2) you'll get more flexibility. I have two 1400s that I connect together, but I never use them EXCEPT when connected for cutting sheets. I also have two 1080's (don't ask why)...

Dibs-h, A couple other points... When figuring out the total length of guide rail required, remember to add about 200-240mm to the long dimension of you sheet goods to determine rail size. You need little room on either end to start and finish your cut. Also, you might want to see if any...

Dibs-h, The TS55 is an excellent saw, especially if you want to break down sheet goods. It's light and fairly powerful for its size. With a guide rail, the cuts are dead straight. Use a fine tooth blade and the green splinter guard, and the cuts are very smooth and chip free. So yes, I...

Interesting you should ask. I going to buy a DMT DuoSharp too. Look carefully at the box in the upper left corner of the Lee Valley pic and you'll see that the box says "DMT". 8) A key issue is the exact combo sharpening tools that are right for you. When I did some research on this...
