You might want to adjust the vac suction. The suction air is cooling the pad, and heat is detrimental to the velcro. Too much suction will hold the pad to the wall and create heat. So it's a...
Couple of points. Festool makes their money off of the dealer. The profit is already made. The dealer's selling price being set allows the playing field to be level. This keeps the pipeline flowing...
Pete,
This is why I recommended that Charles contact someone directly."I still stand by my comment that neither rail systems nor special table saws are inherently "safe"."(pete) You have just...
Charles,
You're getting vague and generic answers. Any search at this point will only add to your confusion. You need specifics. If I can read between the lines, it seems that you have narrowed your...
A giant step is what it takes to miss many of the potholes and other aromatic odorific obstacles along the way. My hope is that Dino does not get discouraged as he brings new things to market. His...
John,
I agree with the advice of taking a break. One of the things you take a look at is your methods of work. This would involve practice with the tools and joints. We practice our music and our...
Ian,
I think that the 'frustration' you speak of is just part of the hobby/skill process. As the hobby becomes more serious, the quality of the tools, the skill, and the project start to converge....
It's interesting that the FHB article really puts festool and eurekazone on the same team. Can we replace the TS on the jobsite? And for those with a hobby, can we live without the TS in the shop?

Good post Peter.
You were right in the way you did it. Others were wrong in their response.
Next time just tell them what you did and don't say what you used to do the work. Make them guess....
Tod, You're not wet, you're right. In the factory you lay the panel on the cnc router or point to point, turn it on, then pick up the pieces. It's all guided on rails or slides. The work piece stays...
"Well, chastising aside, I really don't see how resawing is any more dangerous than anything else you do with a tablesaw.......................

dino, keep posting. seeing what new inventions that are out there is very interesting and informative. with regrets to ian, i think posts from inventors adds insight. in the cases where the emotions...
this reminds me of the story of the 'old violin' at auction. "the bids start low and go slow, 3, 4 hundred dollars. then an older gentleman steps up on the stage and begins to play the 'old violin'....
Dev, you hit one things I was thinking;" What really bothers me is that our high schools no longer train folks in woodworking and many newbies to the hobby are drawn in through the mags."(dev)

yeah, i agree with the idea of testing over time. it just seems that with many comparisons and sales pitches you end up getting more features than functions. i realize i may be playing with...
This is sort of a follow-up to Gary Herrmann's thread of 'congrats dino'.
How much stock do you put in a mag's tool test? Are there certain mags you 'follow' and certain ones you stay away from?...
hello bart,
so you're saying your festool is a great little truck. i'm glad you like it.
just for the record, i am biased. i do support dino in his endeavor to change the way we think about...
we'll go metric when gas is sold by the liter, because the price of a gallon is too high.
do you think the wood will know it's supposed to expand and contract in mm instead of inches?

I agree with Becker. It's not going, but it's trying to 'leave' in that direction.
Ed,
With the addition of random orbits you're just trying to keep the scratch pattern, the scratches, from going in the same direction sort of.
Your eyes have a harder time seeing the...
Bruce,
I've always liked the wood/metal combo. Good Job!
Michael,
You should see the K3 on the shelves in about 2-3 weeks.
grapevine has it that there will stocking dealers soon.
Harry,
No advice, just an echo. My first experience around a TS was Jr Hi shop class. The teacher laid his had on the TS as he was explaining, then I saw his fingers. Most of them anyway.
