UJK technology and Parf products - a new way of working

[@grahamculley5518]

I sold my table saw and invested in a TS55 and a parf guide system. I haven't looked back. It's the perfect setup for my tiny workshop! Thank you Peter!

[@lukelu9161]

I'm about to buy an expensive table saw, I'm so happy I found this. Saved lots lots of money......

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

How does the velccromat do with wood glue? Is it coated at all to prevent it sticking to your work?

[@lukelu9161]

I just bought Parf Mark II, I'm so excited to see what I can do with it. Awesome system!

3:17 'You can make these at home if you wish'. Yes, you can make ALL of it at home. Make your dogs 20mm for the depth of your table and 21mm above it. No collars or chamfers needed, one part dogs (not 8!). Not got a metal lathe? Buy stainless steel 20mm bar by the metre- 50mm dogs for less than £1 a piece. BTW if you want to make a top it is cheaper and (much) faster to just buy a CNC cut template. The system is great- but we are craftsmen; the idea is all we need.

[@ciprianopinto7208]

Please could you explain why we now have twist dogs to replace the existing dogs

[@patrickbyrnes118]

I bought your rail clips not knowing if they would fit my Powertec rails (very popular in the USA). They did not fit -- at first. I gave the oblique faces a *very* light sanding -- just enough to remove the high spots of those faces, to make them flatter surfaces. Now they fit beautifully. By the way, the wire clips fit 3/4 inch dog posts -- also popular in the USA. Bravi!

[@grahamwhiting6567]

Yep, its a very useful and accurate system. I've mounted a second top vertically on the side of my UJK bench - its dogged into the legs of the bench, dead square with the top for doing face and edge work for jointing cabinets - no need for a dowelling system or a Domino machine for getting accurate joints.

[@superkopite]

I wonder if the square is CNC-made

[@normanboyes4983]

If you have the parf guide system and have made a top- surely you could make your own ‘parf square’?🤔

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

You can use the table top as a template to make all of the accessories that have matching holes.

Great video showing the beauty of the PARF system, but I thought the 'dog-puller was the absolute 'dogs'! Brilliant Peter - and Axminster.

[@nickgalena1]

Sorry that i have to say that the the reamer and chamfer tool i bought recently - enlarged the 20 mm holes of my festool mft 3 so that my close fit bench dogs are much looser than before - too loose. In contrast to this the Parf Mark II which i also bought is realy great. Any help on the reamer and chamfer tool ?

[@axminster]

Hi there, the UJK Reamer and Chamfer tool is designed to slightly open up the 20mm holes to a size that will also allow for future movement or shrinkage due to ambient moisture and temperature change. Dogs fitted into these reamed and chamfered holes will feel very slightly looser, but should still sit vertical due to the chamfer, without movement that will affect squareness of cuts. Hope this helps

[@nickgalena1]

@@axminster in my case the tool doesnt drill centric. Tested this with measure tools we use in engineering / mechanic industrie. I guess the tool felt on the foor - before delivered.

[@axminster]

I would advise you contact our technical team, who may be able to assist you with this and assess what's happening www.axminstertools.com/contact

Any Black Friday deals on the Mk2 parf guide system? Many thanks in advance

[@tellis9844]

Now that I know it's actually made in the UK I will be purchasing more UJK gear.

[@bighands69]

It is well priced and is a good quality as well.

[@billystray7007]

Just got my long black tube from FedEx, thank you TSO products for your great service I thought the Chamfer tool came with the mark II .....hmmmm

[@keithscrafts]

It's a great system to work with. Can the parf dogs be bought in bulk for a retailer?

[@SergioMedina-jx5ps]

Great video and clever ideas for wood works. Thanks a lot for sharing. Cheers!

[@garethtcollins]

It would be easier to watch if you let each other finish what you were saying first!

[@johnschotz1614]

Hahaha the hole table moves as soon the put a little pressure against it. Good luck working there

[@SirBenJamin_]

It's a great setup. The annoying thing with the parf dogs (used with UJK clips) is that the Festool ts55 motor bangs into them, so your saw has to start and stop it's cut between the dogs, which really limits the size of cut you can make on an MFT type top. Yes you can make the cut long ways, but then you lose support.

[@bighands69]

There are different size parf dogs that will not clash with the TS55 motor housing.

[@scottjohnson3226]

I am about to make an order to get setup with this. I cannot wait!

[@scottjohnson3226]

Order now placed. :-)

[@nickhartley17]

Looks great! A little expensive for home use though...

[@BigmoRivera]

Nicely Done Great Job

Pretty awesome system.😊👍🏾

[@pierreblattner4527]

Yes it is absolutely fantastic system

[@ShiftyTipsChannel]

Great job!

[@onkelmadin]

It's a good video, and this from a Kraut esser!

[@keithcourneyea1609]

Brilliant

[@romuald225]

It looks like an expensive toy set - the top way too wobbly. Not for a professional carpenters/woodworkers in my opinion.

[@rivergate]

What an awkward presentation. Peter, lose the pet...

[@rbrown2925]

I'm in Ottawa, Canada and I just thought I'd throw in a couple comments about ordering the Parf Guide System and some other UJK goodies from Axminster. To my surprise, I found great deals on everything I wanted during Black Friday -week- 2022 (and I thought Black Friday was only a North American thing...) so I decided to take my chances with a very long distance order. The good news: I got to shop in CAD $ and shipping was free because of the size of the order--from the UK--WOW!🥳I knew I'd have to pay provincial sales tax and expected some kind of processing fee but not duty because of CA-UK trade agreements on items made in the UK, such as (most or all?) UJK products. The bottom line: my order was $723.00 plus "Duties, taxes & fees" of $101.35, which came to $824.35 on my credit card. Given our sales tax of 13% = $93.99 on $723, that meant the only extra cost over what I would have paid locally was $7.36, about 1% of my order. Given the Black Friday discounts were ~25%, everything I ordered was well worth buying, especially since I have never seen any of them on sale in Canada if I could buy them at all (take note, Mr. Lee) and very importantly, I was told exactly what I was going to be billed in CAD $ when I placed my order. 👍 Overall, the prices were great and the process was as good as it gets--and far better than my experiences ordering things from the US where there's invariably extra fees AFTER the item shows up on your doorstep. The only bad news was somehow my shipment of two boxes was split up and DHL delivered one of the two boxes to the wrong address on a Monday and the other box correctly on Tuesday. DHL has excellent tracking info and update notifications so I was in a bit of a panic Monday night after an update said one box was delivered but I hadn't received anything. DHL responded Tuesday AM to my Monday night plea for help but before they had a chance to do anything, a neighbour down the road came by with the missing box. I have no idea what would have happened if the box was considered stolen. I thought I was going to have to sign for the delivery but I was never asked to sign for the box that was delivered correctly, nor for another DHL delivery several weeks ago from another company. So, I'm happy to recommend Axminster to anyone in Canada. Just be prepared for the same sort of delivery concerns that any online order can bring.
