Who would have thought this video would still help someone even after 5 years of posting. Thanks a lot Steve.

This is an old video but I could have used these a few months ago when doing horizontal railing balusters! I was trying to drill in at an angle in the already installed newel posts. I wonder if I can get this zobo festool set shipped to the states! Cool video

Would it be able to a rip cut along a beam ?

Messmate Stringybark, Brown-top Stringybark, Australian Oak, Tasmanian Oak, Victorian Messmate. These are the terms to describe ‘Messmate’ . I’m not sure whether you can in include iron bark in there. One other beautiful timber that I have used a lot of recently is red iron bark. It’s comparable to jarrah and red gum in appearance but only in my opinion. I made a bed for my grandson out of it. I have used it extensively in some of my building contract work for decking and posts. It is very stable off the tree. A timber that is comparable but more durable not mentioned is tallowed in my experience it is superior to spotted gum for durability. Essential energy used it as cross arm for their transmission pole cross arms until recently but the forest where they took it from, Dorrigo, has been restricted because there is not much left. They use fibreglass cross arms now . I applaud your use of some of those recycled timber’s. You can really get some beautiful grains in that old growth timber. Subscribed!

Nice! I need tutorial on how to use! I like the storage bin, excellent for gardening tools. Thx from America. 🇺🇸🙏🏼🧡

Hi and thank you for this video! I noticed that the granat NET that you used did a better job than the regular granat sandpaper on removing the dark part that you were trying to sand off- is this true? if yes, why would this happen if the grit number of the regular granat sandpaper and grit number of the granat NET are the same? Wow its been 5 years since you made this video and Im just seeing this as I bought my first Festool sander and trying to figure out the whole process of sanding ...Thanks again.

A table router and after a few runs to get 45degrees clamp down a fence maybe?

Another great product for those who work by themselves!

Great walkthrough, so much content is US dominated so this was really helpful!

Thanks so much for posting this. I was wasting ages taking test cuts, adjusting by a turn this way or that. And the manual is a joke, it just says a representative can help you out.

I'm pretty sure it's designed like that so you could raise each side independently and leave table at an angle so that when you slide your thin workpiece back and forth on the table you're able to utilize more of the belt. I don't think that I've ever had both sides of my table at the same height unless I am sanding a piece that is 5 or 6 in wide. I think the dust collection is also quite adequate. The directions the belt is moving throws the dust right into that narrow port

This is a great idea. What are the dimensions of that bin ?

What do you build?

nice wood

I tried to adjust as you showed and I cannot get my same Wixey gauge under 90.7 no matter how far left I turn that little black knob. If I go right then the gauge will go up, but if I go left it will not fall below 90.7. Your instructions were very simple to follow. When I dropped the blade down to the maximum depth I got a better reading more around 90.1 or so, but not sitting on the counter in the same manner you showed. My saw is new so I don't understand why it is off, but my edges are not perfect when I am trying to assemble a panel with 3 boards. It is ever so slight, but there is a tiny gap between boards so I thought I would test the degrees.

Thanks for the tip Steve

*slaps forehead* so simple! Thanks for the tip.

Hey mate where did you get the timber lining boards from?

No bullshit. Straight to the point. I appreciate you.

Does Festool make sanding pads for use specifically with Granat NET sanding sheets?

Hi, Just found your video so rather after the fact :) . I'm looking for a hard wax oil for my hardwood/red cedar dining table (it's not a light colour) and am trying to decide between Fiddes Satin and Evolution Satin. Which do you think has a more durable finish? Thanks.

"a little sticky from last night" hay im not judging man loves his wood

😅😅😅😅

Way over priced

4x over priced

Tnx 4 sharing m8

This is perfect,thanks for the video

finally someone that shows this, thank you sir

Great advice mate,maybe worth rotating the blade a few times and putting the wixey on different spots. Bound to get slight discrepancies like I did. Keep up the good work mate 👍

👌🙏

Amazing toy 😂😂😂

Hi Steve where can i buy a set zobo forstner bits please thanks

ironbark is NOT messmate - messmate is soft, ironbark extremely hard

Need one of these to move a heavy oval table

very interesting. I am looking to add extensions to my Kapex - How are your extensions connected to the Kapex? I couldn't tell. Thx

Messmate is not ironbark ironbark is a darker red than red gum also messmate grows in higher rainfall areas than ironbark and paddlesteamers were made from redgum on site on the murry river

Great video. Thankyou Used a lot of Brush box in the Squash court floors at Melbourne sports and Aquatic centre.

Super easy and super helpful. Thanks a lot!!!

I almost got all jet machines as well... It seems a logical choice when i can find them all for less than half the original price from amazon returned item warehouse deal. They all came in very good condition even when amazon label them "acceptable"

Hi Steve. Let me add before a whole heap of Yanks start ordering Tassie Oak. Victorian ash plus some other timbers were clumped together and marketed as Tasmanian Oak. Unlike American oak, they are not particularly durable or strong and termites love the stuff. This timber is used for termite monitoring bait station. (centricon termite system) I am a floor sander who has dealt with "Tassie Oak" on numerous occasions. There is a long list of Aussie timbers that are far superior to Tassie Oak. Spotted gum, Brush box, Iron Bark red and grey, Jarah, Blackbutt, Blue Gum, Turpentine, Kari, Grey gum, the list goes on. It's a clever marketing tool for a timber that should only be used for furniture where it's softness and termite problems won't be an issue and it's ease of use in gluing is a bonus. Cheers Ya'll.

Great idea better than fiddling with under the rail clamps

Just purchased the 18 v version of this and it's awesome... 👍

Where do you get timbers from to make nice stuff in Brisbane? All the lumber yards in the area just carry pine, murbau (which I dont even know how to pronounce), or kwila

Yep.. the Bunnings "Marketplace" is dodgy as.. Price gouging is full on

Awesome. I was just designing a ute tray for mine and then I saw your video. $29 at Bunnings. Thanks so much for the tip. I'm getting one.

At 3m 45 sec you mention holding your finger on the sensor and thinking it should dim/increase, however the sensor you have is the on/off sensor rather than the dimmer sensor.

Thanks mate for a good review. Viking Arm is Norwegian. We co-brand and make them for Wurth. Best regards. Founder of Viking Arm, Øivind Resch

im just going to get the Amana ones. "Notice it not spinning" as its spinning.

Excellent review on a topic sparsely if at all covered by Festool. My saws are routinely needing adjustment and not much in the way of resources on this topic. Hate to send in for service what should be a routine matter of maintenance! Thanks

Terrific video! Great workshop too mate. Found this looking for videos about people working with old Melbourne hardwood framing timber 😊
