Brendan,

Yep, the TSO square performs as advertised. If anything, takes less than the stated 5 seconds to attach.

We have some heavy commercial Festool clients who have all thought the...

Woodpecker have been doing a square for the guide rail for a while. I haven't tried one of these, however looking at reviews comparing the two, seems the blue one is easier to use as it requires no...

Works just as well on the Makita track.

Very simple concept that is well executed by CNC.

After watching the following video from The Poplar Shop, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYGUk-79CSg I ordered the two guides as well as systainer packing.

"A tip I picked up recently for getting the lowest amount of heat buildup with cutoff saws is to go really hard, to the point of nearly stalling. I was shown this on a machining course for cutting...

We have a Godfrey's near by. Will grab a few of their different adaptors to include in the testing.

Appreciate the feedback.

Steve

Thanks Bob,

I'll add some of these to the test range. Eventually hope to be able to come up with a converstion chart for adapting from tool to extractor or extractor to tool, depending on what is...

While selling Festool, I meet a large number of people who run the TS55, CT26 and use a Makita drop saw for framing and a Kapex for fixing.

Though the 36mm and 50mm Festool hoses both fit onto the...

One further note on the Vecturo, it is in the current Festool campaign, till the end of March, so you can get the set version with the plunge jigs and a range of blades for $749.

This is not too...

We have both the Vecturo set and Fein Multimaster in stock if you wanted to have a look at them side by side.

If you are in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne that is.

Steve

Squirrel+Nuts,

Short answer is yes. There are three types of roller boards and trolleys I know of, not including the extractors. Each use the nibs at the bottom of the systainer from the old...

Working for TTS, I have access to the range of drills. When I need one, the CSX is normally the first one I reach for. It is light, comfortable and the brushless motor really is surprisingly...

Understanding that your issue is not with Festool or Protool, however you would like to know where you would stand if you were in this position with either of these brands.

Point one - All Festool...

One of the keys to the success of the Triton range was George's ability to gather and present information on how to do woodwork for beginners.

I recall another factory that was only open to their staff.
One day they decided to let five children and their parents through. All they had to do was find a golden ticket inside a Wonka bar.:B

As my user name suggests, and a look at past posts will show, I was the distributor for Triton in Japan for many years. Passion for Triton was born as a kid, being babysat by theTriton video in...

Reading through the posts here, many seem to revolve around determining suitability of Festool products for different uses. Given that purchasing a Festool is a long term investment, this makes a...

Hi Les,

I used to help make canoes out of cedar strips in Japan. For a timber as soft as ceder, a blade like the Panther would be best as the gullets fill faster than the teeth can cut.

With a...

Marios,

The "Air Module" you are referring to is basically a switch for dust extraction to be activated when an air tool is turned on. An air line is plugged in from your compressor to the CT 36,...

My favorite is the CSX, when I need more grunt, reach for the PDC-18.

As my Nanna used to say, it's what's on the inside that counts!

I make and use the thin ripping jig fairly often. Basically a bit of ply or other scrap that has parallel sides and I attach a heel to rip thin strips off a wide piece. Fast, easy and accurate,...

Depending on what size saw the chassis is set up for, you may have to remove and re-locate the coach bolts that hold the two halves of the slide chassis together. Sometimes just losening and sliding...

Which model Ryobi are you trying to fit?

I think the longest base the sliding chassis can hold is 400mm. Is it the length of the base or its width that is causing the difficulties?

Steve

I think the parts you are referring to are the bearing channels.

These are aluminium extrusions that I believe are a Triton product. If Triton gets up and running again, they will most likely...

Knockonwood,

Sorry if my post implied that Festool used same technology. Their systems are very different.

Was saying they make great products, biggest difference between Festool and Triton...

Phoenix,

It is with the greatest pleasure that I wish to correct Phoenix.

Much of the plant and machinery was sold. Presses, welding robots etc. All of the tooling however was moved to a...

Tribo,

Your comment is probably more likely than Bosch or Costco buying the remnants.

Costco does great business in Japan. Last time I was at the Makuhari store, the cars were lined up for about 2km, to get into the car park. One car out, one car in.

I found the following on the internet - interesting reading!

Can you paste a link to the article.

Eagle,

Are you able to comment on how accurate this is?

Steve
