Great video. Thank you. Regarding router direction when hand routing, I always remember my highschool woodshop teacher's maxim . . . "Feed as you read".

[@sedgetool]

Great tip!

[@sedgetool]

cool

[@russellhuggett5177]

Another great video guys, great tip with the L finger router direction, I was telling a friend about router direction and I will call him and tell him this tip for sure. 👈👉 😁 The guide system does look really good, looking forward to see it making circles and oval etc. Keep up the great work guys 🤟👍👍👍👍

[@sedgetool]

[@sedgetool]

Wicked !!!!

[@thepaintprofessor]

Just bite the bullet on my first festool today. The only problem is that I didn't do it sooner! I'm on love!

[@sedgetool]

Wicked cool.... bought my first tracksaw in 2003.... never looked back.....

[@thepaintprofessor]

@@sedgetool I started out with the ets ec 125 and some granat. Completely changed my sanding game and zero swirl marks. I went from scratching the surface with my old sander to now I understand what abrading the surface is all about. I love the videos on both of your channels. Keep up the great work. I am a believer!

[@ronh9384]

Thanks for the video guys. Is this still available in the U.S.? Thanks Ron

[@sedgetool]

nope...still available in Europe though

[@AlexK07010]

Thank you. What bit is that? The big pattern bit

[@sedgetool]

www.infinitytools.com/mega-flush-trim-router-bits the 1 with the 1 /14 length for around $90

[@MattLitkeRacing]

I use double sided tape to hold the workpiece and the cut out

[@sedgetool]

cool..... I use too but was tired of peeling and cleaning....

[@MattLitkeRacing]

@@sedgetool I agree it can be a pain. I found Painter's Mate double sided tape at Menards. It’s a double sided masking tape that is easy to remove. It sticks well enough for my CNC

[@yousuflootah]

How can you use the template to make a serving tray out of a single piece of hardwood In an efficient and fast way?

[@sedgetool]

I would use a core box bit to do the perimeter of the tray with the MFS then I would use a straight bit for the removal of the rest

[@Jhursh]

Any idea where to get one? Festool won’t allow Europe to send to USA.

[@sedgetool]

Jim....I know of a few folks who have found them on eBay, craigslist and Facebook marketplace ....

[@w.robbgraham7684]

Festool should bring the MFS back to North America and give you a commission on them.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Robb.....

[@robertlittle6453]

Outstanding video thank you

[@sedgetool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@w.robbgraham7684]

You should get Festool to bring this back to North America and give you a commission for each one sold.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks....

[@davidschieman3903]

How can we get one

[@sedgetool]

The MFS is available in Europe

[@gregpowers8095]

Woodpecker tools make there own version, but there expensive.

[@aquarian_korea]

nice!!!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks

[@dacianmuntean]

MFS is an template, why making a template with a template?

[@sedgetool]

That is just the way I use it...

[@AaronGeller]

It’s replaces many small templates but some templates are complex and this helps fabricate them. As an example, I’m working on producing a valet tray/desk organizer and I need multiple pockets. This will allow me make a master template so I can batch out the product. Also, while there may be a rectangular cut out in the center, there may be curvatures on the exteriors.

[@AaronGeller]

I Hope. This. Helps 🫵
