You don’t need the parallel gides to make these cuts !

Tso make a great rail connection pretty much a game changer

What's the longest cut that can be made using the flag stop?

Stand on the other side of the track , that way if u get kickback it wont hit u.

I have a cheap and crappy track saw, cheapest on the market. It is okay but as I started into a (bench seat w/ storage) sheet good project for my daughter and it was not good enough. I had to rough cut with it and refine on the table saw. As you said "twice the work". to make matters worse I had to cut at my office and move to my shop (10' x 16') to trim. Then I started using my brain and thought "I can get a tool out of this deal! Festool TS60 and two tracks purchased, I told wife this is the only way I can get this done by Christmas....maybe.

Thank you for serving 😊 November 11/2024

Nice

Thank you so much my friend! I sm a collegue of yours from Italy. You just solved my today problem! Will try tomorrow! Thanks again mate!🎉🎉🎉

Thx for this

I have to climb step stairs to boathouse roof to work on sanding railings up there. Is it crazy to think of lugging the ct48 up there?

Sorry but the title is missleading all of your points you minimise the problems so it might be annoying but it is not a no go to buy even for you...

I just ordered the saw and attachments =\ .. I’m receiving it tomorrow but i am on the fence if i should even keep the attachment. I might just building a station for it

I know this video is a couple years old, but when you attach the wings to an mft, aren’t you supposed to flip the underside plates around?

Ben does this knock the other side of the fence out of calibration?

lol, I wish I had the imperial not the metric, got my set used of of Craigslist at a price that was a no brainer. Just ordered a metric tape measure since metric is starting to creep into my woodworking. I do wish that the curser on the stops was a little more precise.

Where did you get the Festool sign?

Why does the measurement ruler go from 58 inches in the main part of the wing to to the extension starting at 94?!

My TS55 has casting mold lines in the base and therefore is not perfectly square. Nice idea though, check your saws for mold casting lines that were not milled off at the factory.

I have a track saw, may purchase the large planer soon too.

Thanks so much for this video, seriously. I picked my unit up yesterday with all the bells and whistles, lots of spares and then some. $3,200.00 AUD, yes it hurt but I really need it and yes I use it professionally and am very fussy about my dust extraction. No other brand does a set up quite like this that has been balanced and tested in the same way on this size scale.

Friction zone Great point

I should have watched this before I bought a second MFT!

Very helpful, thank you!

Hey Ben, l want to thank you for talking about your physical deficits and pain. Yes, seriously. I am a 63 yr old 5’1” female physical therapist. I too have a body that has crapped out and live with pain daily, yet I only let it slow me down. It will never stop me. I am constantly confronted with people who choose to let pain and deficits be a ticket to couch surfing and more dysfunction. Men look at me with a side eye when I talk about wood working and more importantly, when I am trying to motivate them to get up, get out, enjoy life and be productive. Women too. You made me cry hearing you talk positively. We need more people with your mindset. Besides that, your entire video addressed all of my workspace and physical challenges. I will be buying some parallel guides. Thank you.

I just got one it’s awesome!

First, every carpenter NEEDs a square. Put it on fense, loosed the adjusters, square the rail and tighten. 1 or 2 steps.

awesome videos man thanks for the info subscribed!

Also, a table saw needs to be sturdy enough, needs enough surface and length to support the work piece to keep it straight, you have to be able to accurately set it etc, all things that cost quite a lot of money and space. A tradk saw with a long guiderail is accurate, takes up little space and costs less to be accurate. But i agree it takes some mental adjustment.

The STM 1800 is now $1199 and it's only two years later. It was $995 when this video was made. Crazy.

In my opinion TSO makes the best guide rail connectors, and their fasteners are designed in a way to not damage your track.

Damn I wish I bought it 2 years ago... Mine just arrived today at $1,199 LOL

I have Dewalt track saw, parallel guide is not there yet .. i am thinking should i just go with rail square or parallel guide. which one i should go first. very rarely i need repetable cuts, but if i need occassionally can i live with rail square please advvise.

How did you adjust the leg into levelling of the suport to the MFT?

Worth using for just sanding with ETS 150/5?

Thanks for your video is this setup can handle weight for put resin slab on it and do sled router system?

Thanks for sharing this. I'm new to woodworking and never considered breaking down materials at the lumber yard.

Ordered the ones on bangood, been a sponsor for festool way to long. I think other brands are way to expensive to. If i had the time i made my own guide rails

Good Video.. I want to say the following. You can buy them if ya want. I have found them to be no more accurate that what you can make yourself on a decent table saw and router table

That’s so simple I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before thanks for posting this. I almost bought like $100 tool to do the same thing pushing the cuts out past the table and the other direction too though

Thank You Ben for this very helpful Video. You are Great Bro . Greetings from Wonderful Vienna . Thumbs up 👍and y follow your Channel .

Hello, do this method work for rips thick of 2 mm for example?

So happy that I found this video. I picked up a Domino XL 500 this past Christmas and this jig will go great with it~! Still getting used to it, but that's the fun of it, right? Thanks for this great idea~!

You need to get more lights in your basement. I think I only see one!

Guess what most production shops use. A table saw, it's not even the sliding table saw, just the regular cabinet type. Nothing beats a good table saw for repeatability and other types of cuts. Edit. You first cut to size and rip to precision. There's going to be waste irrespective of method used. Table saw is faster and involves no setup between very small and large pieces

The new connector is so much better

Toyota Prius ❤ love it. I feel so silly as I have the tundra and I was thinking how am I going to load it in the back with the tools 😂😂😂

Maybe I’m overthinking this, but I’m having a pretty hard time getting my guides properly calibrated. For some reason I can’t just make the mark like you do on top and calibrate that way. I’m off by about 1mm. I take a square and match the line so that my track saw blade(in fast fix mode) is right off to the side of it. Yet I’m still off by 1mm. Do you think maybe I should draw 2 lines (2mm apart from each other) and try to set my blade right in between them?

genious

Not a good video if you are looking for immediate and inexpensive options. . .
