Hot air gun on the splinter guard. You can reposition it 3 - 4 times as it wears away. Best done when dust free to keep the sticky stuff sticky!

[@Robswoodworkingdiy]

Do a score cut first just a few mm’s you’ll notice a massive difference. And the splinter guard remove it and reattach and then cut again with the saw. Nice tight fit to prevent tear out

[@hellbergsucks]

yeah i'm a woodworker and this is what we do to prevent splinters. you can do a score with a knife or something else sharp and that will be good as well, just as long as you break the surface level fibres

[@warrenspillane4552]

For the layout of the ply, there are cut list calculators that you put all you piece sizes in and sheet size and grain direction and it works out the most efficient layout for cutting and how much % of wastage you get. Really handy for this sort of thing

What’s up from London Ontario Canada! Love your videos, I’m a hardwood flooring installer and love watching your exciting episodes 😆😆

[@benjaminrutherford6579]

Tip I find helps with laminate materials or ply, is to do a 1 or 2mm deep ‘back cut’, plunge the saw and cut backwards on the first cut so the blade teeth cut down into the material creating the clean score cut, and then depending how thick the material is a couple of forward passes or full depth forward cut. Then instead of buying new strips everytime, get some thin double sided tape and use it to keep sticking on the old strip, shifting the strip across as it wears out

[@tullgutten]

Could always have a score cut and then the full cut to keep a clean edge with any blade/saw

[@TheBelfastBikerOfficial]

The other half and I were just admiring the way you shot the 'plane footage from the viewing area and the road as if it was your 'plane. Really the extra mile to get those shots to tell the story!

[@fritz4345]

Getting the band back together, yeah!

[@NZdiagnostics]

Tip for Rich... if you are not using the Holden a lot, run it on BP Ultimate 98. It actually gains a little bit of octane when stored unlike most 95 and 91 which loses it. It will likely help with the starting. Also you can advance your timing a bit then for a little more power. If not already, running an electric fuel pump, checking the carb balance, points gap etc might help. If everything is right there is no reason she shouldn't start like a modern.

[@livingimprovements4382]

Yeah i agree, i get it tuned by local MG guys who are awesome with the SU carbs and it runs mint, until a couple months pass and i havent driven it and then it runs like crap. I dont know anyone in Auckland who is a good old school/Holden mechanic and the amount of times people have made things worse is astounding, so one day it will become a priority and ill get it running hard and fast.

[@tubestick00]

[@CreativeFranky]

Hi Scott, the Festool Saw has a Splinter Guard, eg Splinter guard SP-TS 55 R/5. When you dont have this make a first cut at 2mm deep backwards an than the normal Cut. With this you could prevent splinter too with all Plungesaws

[@ArbyCreations]

Any vid with Rich's staffies is a good vid :)

[@deroobj]

Glad to see the old Auckland gang is doing alright!

[@ericjackson2915]

Hey Scott, enjoy your videos! I think the issue with cut quality of the festool is that the splinter guard didn't exactly match the blade. If you install a new splinter guard that should solve the cut quality, but from that point on, only use the saw that you initially used to trim the splinter guard with that track. This would always ensure a quality cut. Even if you have two festool saws, its' recommended that you always use each saw with it's correspondeing track. Thanks for the great videos!

[@livingimprovements4382]

Thanks Eric, yes have since replaced the strip and bought a dedicated track for the Makita.

[@maxracine8118]

Small tip for the tracksaw, when cutting laminate i find that doing 2 passes gives the best results for me. First pass like 1/8" or 3/16" of an inch than 2nd cut right through. Prevents lifting of wood fibers. Anyway thats just from my experience. Good stuff 👏 👍

[@johnbullard5973]

I’ve got the Makita and it lets you cut first pass with 2mm cut before cutting full depth . I used to have Mafell but motor burnt out .

[@KAHOTEA]

[@michaelrice500]

​@@daniel.s8126 Yes, I do. It may have been the accent or "Auckland" that tipped me off!

[@Wilbargosh]

I think you can limit the tear up by using the green surface guard/guide on the front outside edge of the plate. You can adjust the guide to run flush on the surface of the material you’re cutting. Thats what I read in the festool manual and it works well on doors and laminate etc

[@angelaslaney1514]

You cut valuable veneered board with the veneer underneath so the teeth of the blade are cutting upwards towards the veneer.

[@pg.g2407]

Best advice here.

[@PabloEskimofo]

The Auckland A-Team back at it again! Hopefully we get to see Paeru(?) back on ‘the next exciting episode of Scott Brown Carpentry’. Cheers, mate!

[@wingsdesire1]

Festool track saw issues. @ 12:00 You’ve used two different saws on the same track. It’s possible the makita is just barely narrower compared to the festool this means it would have cut a thin kerf out of the rubber piece that rests on the ply. You should be able to pull it off & move it over & re-cut it so it matches the saw & blade. There’s also a green tab that goes on the front side of the saw (currently clear) that the blade cuts into to create a zero clearance insert & it’s a consumable. There should be a spare in the box, give it a try. I hope this helps :)

[@ryang1856]

If you switch the blade on the makita to a thicker kerf you'll get better results, the one they come with is thin to increase battery life. Cheers from Canada!

[@taakahiborell7037]

Man I hope that classic car didn’t scratch the gib!

[@christianness8983]

It's definitely the gap with the splinter guard. I've never had an issue with my Festool track saw, it always makes perfect cuts even with garbage lumber.

[@OOpSjm]

More of an alignment issue. His base was missing an adjuster screw and the blade was cutting at an angle to the track

[@ArbyCreations]

Nice to see Kameron again too. Rich still had his pickup(and tools) in this vid :(

[@jamiet5598]

I always thought that you had to place the sheet upside down and cut it so the blade cut up into the surface to make a chip free cut

[@ObliqueVisualsNz]

Thats what I was taught as well

[@DailyPaintworks]

What you are saying is correct. The "good" side should be down because the blade rotates up into the board at the bottom. At the top it rotates up away from the board, which can lift the fibers.

[@hththt9]

You can pull the splinter guard off and move it over and re-cut it. The double sided tape allows you do this one or twice.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

During those airplane shots at 2:00, i like to think that Scott setup his camera and tripod in the airport or on the runway then they went inside the airplane and then waited for the airplane to move around, and Scott then retrieved the camera, went back into the airplane and then the airplane took off. It would be hilarious if I was correct, but i'm totally off. lol

[@PharaoRamsesII]

Its probably just another airplane that he films. Ive been to NZ and seen Nelson airport, you can walk all around it on the outside, so he probably filmed this plane. Might not have been on the same day even.

[@wyit5223]

A strip of painters tape along the cut line helps with the sub-par cuts.

[@jamesblair4709]

At 17.33 when checking the good festool cut, the rail was placed on end, the splinter guard end, this also has affect on alignment for the guard which then leaves chips, it’s common with the festool/makita rails, never had to change the Bosch splinter guard tho.

[@cb-nz]

Welcome to another exciting episode of Scott Brown car and pantry....

[@bigbob9702]

Festoool has a chip protection device you have not employed. It will make a difference.

[@jayboyd6286]

Scott, try cutting the panel from the back. The saw teeth will pull on the feature side as you cut rather than push and blow out the grain. cheers

[@hairsonabobbin]

The Makita has a laminate zip funtion. It'll cut at 2 or 3mm depth to cut the laminate top layer. And you'll always have a tiny opening between the blade and splinter strip, because the widest part of the blade is the teeth and not the blade 'body'. So adjusting it tight to the splinter strip will probably cut it further.

[@thekiteboatparty3568]

[@gmafh1315]

[@mgom]

on ply I do a very shallow (half a mm) first "scoring" cut, then the full cut, helps with chip out... or masking tape, do the same with circular, miter or table saw.

[@zitobin1]

Hi Scott, I've found that when using the festool its best to run a scribe cut before cutting through the full material (especially crossgrain). The Maffell is great for this kind of thing because it has a scribe cut built in to the machine and is shimmed a fraction back from the splinter guard so is always a crisp cut. Great to see Rich back in the videos, like the car. Thanks

To eliminate the chip out you can make your cuts in two passes. Cut halfway on both sides. It solves for me.

Hi Scott, better to us the festool blade with ever blad change you have to swap the splinter garde on the machine and check the track. This must give you a clean cut

[@GeorgiaRebel1111]

[@orenfharris]

Only had that sort of issue with an old or dirty blade on my festools, or when using the wrong blade for the material. Make sure it is the fine tooth blade, if the laminate is pre-finished do a score cut first, if you are planning on using both sides put the little plastic device on the front of the saw by the blade down, and potentially use a festool blade instead of off brand.

[@MrBrewsk]

Dunno about y'all, but I put the finish side down, and use a new finish blade with a high tooth count, so the saw teeth cut up through it cleaner. If you're going to both sides being finish quality, they yeah, super clean cuts on both sides are important.

[@DewaltFanboy]

Dont Makita track saws have an option for "scoring". Little plug that if you punch it in it only lets the blade down a tad bit so you do your first pass super clean
