The Easter Eggs are cute, but this is was a great video and a smart idea to boot! I just found your channel and instantly subscribed. I can say that I have HSS++ because I code in C and C++ and I do woodworking as a weekend hobby for projects (like make Halloween props for my haunt, see my channel for details) Naturally I'll ++ anything that's worth incrementing to the next level.

Awesome content. I just bought the Milwaukee Track saw and 55â track. I also have the MFT 3 ordered. Is awesome that Festool and Mil use same or compatable track. I am hoping that I might be able to clamp the festool and Mil tracks together, and save $140 CAD.
I really enjoyed your personal trim router journey, the evolution and iterations of your router bases, HSS table mounted router tops, and how you swung for the fences with pitching your product invention. Honestly, I didn't think this video was going to promote a product however, If I am going to watch a "product based woodworking video" I would rather it be in this vein instead of someone acting as if they believe in a product they had no hand in actually making and/or truly stand behind while wanting to profit from it. You showed us all how struggles in the shop can lead to solutions and how the possibility of those solutions can turn into inventions that can work for others. Good for you Drew!
Thanks. I struggled with the pitch. V1 didn't even have a pitch and some friends told me to just be bold and offer it without shame. I love it and believe in it, so why not offer it?
@@wittworks its and outstanding idea! Keep making!
No motor is brushless. The brushes are enclosed inside the motor, protecting them, but also making them almost unchangeable.
CAme for tools staying for your personality
hahah thank you.
I mean this video is trash because you said hang it on a nail. That was clearly a screw......
maybe I did that on purpose to see who would catch it đ€Ș
đ€ż great duct tape work! And I'll be making something similar one day! Thanks for the idea, and inspiration!
Any chance of adding more countries you ship to? Lithuania here. đ
I'll take a look!
Just a quick mention since you have thought of everything, what about attaching that dust collection adapter with magnets. Should be pretty easy to install magnets on both the router plate and the adapter. Bennett would go on and off in a fraction of a second and also come off in the event that you dropped the router
That was the first thought. We moved on from it for security reasons and in the event someone was using the router in general and went over a screw or something in material - wouldnt want the magnet to be pulled
Iâm a bit dopey, but what does the JimmyPin actually do?
there's some cuts (usually endgrain) that are really sketchy when beginning the cut - you don't want it to jump or kick back. So the start pin allows you to put some leverage on the pin and then ease into the cut
I know HSS and flatsurfitis
hahah
Dam hate that Metabo HPT isn't so popular, I wonder if it's pattern is similar to the Makita
I took a makita plate into Lowe's to check and it looked very close - but I didnt unscrew to verify. They're not very popular. We make a blank base so you can drill your own counterbores.
Iâve got to look into maple!! đ€ż
for a color for a great table try Osage Orange= Hedge Apple
Dang bro. Dang. đ

We put a kerf right though our 55" track first time using the TS75. Definitely was user error/learning curve but holy shit did it bite hard

đ„ł
Just a clarification: OSB is not "crappy". It must meet all of the strength requirements of veneer plywood. Yes, the surface is not super smooth, but that can be solved by sanding. I made a portable router table like this about 15 years ago. I smooth sanded the OSB in a drum sander and gave both sides a coat of Sealcote shellac, then waxed. It still works just fine, and has not warped or split. Mine is for a Milwaukee 1-1/2hp router. I agree with you that HSS is a highly contagious ailment!
Thanks. I was surprised how smooth you can get that crap. đ€Ș
Hey Drew Mitt thanx for the video !!!!!
you're welcome
So good! Great innovation there!
Glad you like it!
As a kiwi it is hard to imagine an ordinary Hardwood store (mitre10 anyone?) where you can go in and get anything other then pine! Must be like being in heaven with those choices!
Never heard of 'schamfer'
its a youtube joke. Usually people from the UK will comment when an american says "chamfer"
Jimmy screw, also known as a headless shoulder screw sold via Mcmaster Carr. Sorry if a lot of people have already pointed this out and I'm just one more person to add to the list.
close. We looked at them and the threads are too long and bottom out on the router. We made ours with shorter threads and a beefier shoulder.
đ€żthank you for all the tips! Definitely gonna look for that thick wax youre using, looks a dream to apply
I'm an enthusiast, but I decided to make my own furniture. I had some power tools from various manufacturers, mostly a bit on the cheap side. But this is quite a big project, making furniture for the whole house. I had the oportumity to botrow some of the good stuff and now I completely understand why people get hooked on the green stuff. First I bought tracksaw, dust extractor and a sander. Then I got the oportunity to borrow a Domino. It saved me a lot of time and hugely simplified the process. Unfortunately I was able to have it just for a few days, just enough to get hooked, so I ordered one immediately. The same day I returnef it, I got home with a brand new one. By the time I finish, I'm sure it will pay for itself just by time saved, not to count the frustration.
đ€ż
The existing Milwaukee M18 dust collection setup isn't too bad as is but it appears you have kicked it up a notch for those times a longer flush trim bit used. On that type of cut I would be more inclined to use a plunge base router with the Oneida dust collection hood which is equally impressive for dust collection with larger routers.
yeah, I initially wanted to look into better dust collection when the over the top attachment for my makita basically didn't do anything.
Mitt
Great video Drew!
Thanks
LOL...Why did you paint your Festool brad nailer the same colour as a Ryobi brad nailer? ...so funny!
As one Drew to another Drew, AWESOME JOB MAN!!!! So one little factoid on your dust extraction, Festol is the same size Ryobi uses. Which is a royal pain and I have 3d printed adaptors for all my stuff. I am in a one car garage, so my Festol is permently hooked up to the sawdust King, aka my CNC. But I use my 18v Ryobi Shop vac for other dust extraction. So Thank you for making yours the right size unlike everybody else
Thanks for the info!
By the way the dust collection on a Festool doesenÂŽt work nearly as good. You are brilliant. Kind regards from Germany
Thanks
Hi, I think the âHorses Mouthâ expression came from examining horses teeth to gauge age/health etc when buying a horse.
Amazing work!! Congratulations!
Ngl, i can't find maple that cheap around my area. Seem like all the mills are on that 3-5x mark up bs....
This all may be in jest, but I purchased one of these stop-blocks and I really don't like it. It hard to set a position as it gets jammed up in the track with the bolt heads, you could have found something better beside bolt heads. And, to adjust the height of the block it is difficult, to find the hole with the little screw is a pain. Just not worth it. The "Red Tool Company" makes a better product, and you can flip the block up as needed without having to remove the whole thing.
This would be perfect for keeping in my install van! Well done and the dust collection part is money đ€
thanks MW
Fantastic, canât believe how brilliant that dust collection is!
thanks
