Craig covered most of the important stuff. I always strongly recommend Azek be painted to avoid the mold problem. It's you're painting Bondo the holes. I've installed a lot of Azek and other brand...

I have the CT Mini too and there's no question it's not as powerful as the larger models. That said, the small diameter hose is what makes it seem wimpy to you. I've used mine with a larger hose it...
Julian, you're just repeating the misleading info the Fein is pushing. Yes you can run a 19 amp tool on the Fein without the vac itself turned on. This is where the Festool and Fein are different,...
I agree with Callan about all the add on accessories Festool offers. Also, the built in hose/cord storage is great for people like me that move the vac regularly. Festool has stepped up their game...
Virtually all shop vacs have a separate cooling fan, from the cheapest made in China to the other German made vacs.
This is misleading (just like the Fein lets you believe they are the...
Both are a good choice. I think you expect a Festool sander in your future you'd be better served with the Festool since the hose will connect perfectly. Also, the Fein and Festool are about the...
I'm sure you'll pay one way or another.
Shouldn't be a problen to try out since your Craftsman hose should fit on the Festool vac. Also see my reply #18.
Yes, you are right, also, most other brand hoses will fit the Festool vac, Rigid, Craftsman, ShopVac and other brands will work.
Static pressure or CFM, however you want to look at it, the quality German vacs aren't easy to compare to the made in China Rigid, Craftsman or ShopVac brands. Remember the Festool vac has two stage...
Phil, this is likely all moot since they're are very, very few new pin models still out there. For all practical purposes you could say none. Even in the used market they are hard to find. If you...
Surely you don't believe that. I'm a die hard Festool user (read supporter) but even I want to hear what goes wrong.
Andrew, your Festool vac likely has pretty much the same cfm as your Craftsman, the difference is the size hose. The Festool vac comes with a 1 1/4" hose and your Craftsman a 2 1/2" hose so of...
Do you care to elaborate on that?
Jeremy, I've used the Depot's Pure Bond on a couple of projects and it was fine for what I needed. It was the same 5 ply, very thin veneer, no voids stuff you're looking at. It was cut splinter...
It does, same with almost every shop type vac out there.
Mike, there may be a way to copy the rectangle around the corner but I'm not aware of one. This is a case where having the object in 3D helps so you can easily rotate or pivot it around the corner.
I've got the new RO90, great tool and perfect for this application. I'm working on a review but it's only about half done so it's not much help to anyone looking at this sander. I do have a Youtube...
Then Gary's video is really going to help you.
Mike, your chipping away approach is okay for drawing to work out the basic concepts. However you really do want to model that way for producing usable models to make plans from. You have to...
Peter, your answer on 2D drawing is more accurate than mine, I should have given the question more thought before replying. I imagine there could instances where drawing in 2D might pose some...
Steve, drawing in 2D is very easy in Sketchup but you're really are missing out if you aren't modeling in 3D. Most of the time I model my project just as I would build them, every piece,...
Hmmm, there's no first time buyer incentive that I'm aware of, might be what he told the wife who happens to read the forum on occasion. :D
This is a good review with some outstanding video. The reviewer hasn't owned the tool for long so there isn't alot info from hands on experience. It's a very good overview of the tool so you'll...
No, I buy from Bob Marino, I'll pick up a few consumbles from time to time at Allegheny Millwork in the Southside. I've never been to Saw Sales and Machinery but I don't get out that way often.
