Manufacturers instructions are often useful to follow. What do they say about glue?

The Festool circular track saws do an excellent job of this.

I disagree. I have had Makita cordless tools for years, but finally bought Festools new 15 volt lithium drill. I think if Festool has started using lithium batteries that's a sign that the jury is...

I have the Makita and like it very much. I have a bunch of their tools and have been generally happy with the brand.

I've used Makitas for a few years now and like them well enough. Finally broke down and bought a Festool T-15. What a drill!

And, if you go with redwood, make sure it is all heartwood. The sapwood does not hold up as well to moisture.

I did the M & T joinery on this table with my Bosch jigsaw.

Thanks for the laugh. You will lose a bit of the brioche to the kerf, but then again, you're a Festool owner. La de dah, to quote Annie Hall.

I like the 106 rail, it's very convenient and...

I am in the remodeling business and have been using Makita LXT cordless tools for the past three years and have been, for the most part, happy with them.

I am also going to be in the market for a...

Greg, I was also on the fence between Leigh and Akeda. The reason I ended up buying the Akeda is that the people who have both and posted about it said they always reach for the Akeda. Their Leighs...

I got the Akeda recently and used it on some drawers recently. I like it very much. It's cool to watch all the dust swirl away through the view window. It makes really good dovetails.

I got it...

I did just build it, however I live in the San Francisco Bay area, and the winters here are more humid than the summers I believe, at least it rains a lot here in the winter and not at all in the...

Do you think that on a piece so small that this will be a problem? It's only 12" wide by 12" deep.

Thank you so much for your posts everybody.

Larry, I chose the grain orientation for the top, in part, for the reason Cody pointed out, the way the grain curve compliments the curved front. The...

Festool offers a 30 day trial period.

Why don't you buy it, try it, and see if you can give it back again.

Our bed is on the floor and there isn't a lot of space between the bed and entry door, so the bedside table for my wife needed to be small, around one foot high, deep and wide....

I have a long rail and shorter rails that I sometimes connect together. I have not had an issue with straightness with either setup.

Sounds like your short rails are defective. If you contact...

I have a Festool Of1010 which I like very much. Light and powerful and very well thought out controls. Takes 1/4 or 8mm bits.

never mind, just read manual

Both my 1/4" and 8 mm collets do not release bits without a fight. I always leave the bits about 1/8" from being fully inserted into my routers. Bits are usually a little sticky to remove from other...

Sounds great, but a little far to visit from California. Do you know if this exhibit is going to travel near the bay area?

I have the ts55, domino, of1010, rotex, deltex, kapex. I just got the domino, and it's more for fun than a work necessity (remodeler), so I'll leave that out of the equation. For me it's sort of a...

I haven't had a chance to use my new Akeda dovetail jig, but I have a question that my manual doesn't seem to answer.

I'm interested in using secret, or full blind mitered dovetails in an upcoming...

I did get the C kit, thanks Michael, AND one of your boxes to keep the parts in.

Jig should come today! Box comes next week, can't wait to see it.
