Thank you for posting this, Juan. I was the guy standing there with Fred when he said, "I want you to make me a plane." I remember his conversation with you, talking about the features of the...

I have the CT33 with the boom arm and several Festool sanders. That is a great deal for the vac by itself, let alone with two sanders. I used that vac with an RO125FEQ to refinish a bar in a...
The CT22 & CT33 are being replaced by new models so you may be able to find these at a discount. The new CT26 & CT36 are improved, but the older models are certainly capable and will have parts...
I've had them for over a year. I also have the extensions for narrow pieces. The key to success is calibrating them before using them the first time. Besides parallel cuts, they are great for...
The 10% off on TS55, TS75, rails and saw accessories is good until July 31, 2010.
I have a bunch of Festools, including the Domino. Sure, there are lots of ways to make loose tennons, but the...
I have the 3000 rail for my TS75 to rip sheet goods with. The extra length makes it easier and safer to start the cuts. If the saw is notcompletely on the track and you start to slide it into the...
+1 on the bullets. The soft lead really doesn't hurt blades too much. I've left them in some of the pieces I made with the lumber. Not children's furniture, though!
I started out with a Freud JS100, then a PC557 (great machine) but now use my Festool Domino almost exclusively. I haven't used the PC since the day my Domino arrived! I should probably sell the...
+1 on jointing it off first. This will give you a flat face to reference when thickness planing. It looks like a 6" jointer should work on any board in the back of that truck.
You can package up boxes of the scraps and sell them on eBay. There is always someone with more ideas than I have there. :eek:
Very dangerous with no guard. I always use push blocks, even with the guard.
I had the same problem with my 5hp JTAS. I replaced all the pulley setscrews with new ones as the factory ones would periodically loosen and cause a low, rumbling vibration. No problems since...
Morland. Right between Studley & Penokee.
Please count me in. Thank you KREG!!! :D
Please count me in. And THANK YOU, FELDER!!!!! :D
Festool USA headquarters is in Lebanon at 400 N Enterprise Blvd, just west of the interstate at the Indiana 32 exit. They are always glad to greet woodworkers and give you a quick tour. If Brian is...
I don't have the JJP-12, but I have other Jet machinery in my shop that I have been happy with. My 15" planer was shipped with a bent chip-breaker and they sent me the part and an extra set of...
I've got several Woodpeckers squares that are very accurate. I have a Bridge City Tool 4" speed square that is dead-on. For quite a bit more, the BCT DSS6 is on helluva 6" sliding square/saddle...
I have a TS75 and a cabinet saw. I would not give up either of them. I do have the parallel guides for the Festool tracks which makes repetitive rips fast and acurate. My back just can't take...
I started out with the Festool TS75 3 years ago after owning a Jet 5hp cabinet saw for 10 years. I bought the Festool to get staight line rips on rough lumber; very difficult to do on a table saw...
My 36" Jorgensons bend with high pressure, so I don't think this is unusual for any F clamp. I have the Jet parallel clamps in sizes from 24" to 54" and have been very happy with them. They have a...
I'm lucky to live in a small Western Kansas town and I was able to buy a derelict commercial storefront for a reasonable price. The main shop room is 26'x54', which is huge compared to my 24'x24'...
I agree with the other "sages" above. Get some training first.
You might check to see if the local community college has some evening outreach classes. When I was in high school, I took some...
My MIL just got a Chevy Colorado crew cab, 2wd. She really likes it as it can haul grandkids, art supplies or several of her lady friends in comfort. The bed is a little short for long boards, but...
Sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
