Спасибо! Это следующее, что я куплю для своей маленькой мастерской.
this is some really good content
Thanks!
I built a few cabinets with only a track saw and parallel guides. I ordered my table saw the next week. I think even a contractors saw is a better tool for narrow rips. Biggest issue is all the shifting. I just couldn't keep the accuracy that I easily obtain with a table saw. Festool should market a table saw for narrow rips or a better solution for the track saw.
I agree, the shifting can be a hassle. I use a quick clamp to secure it to the table for the longer boards, however when it comes to the shorter boards, it's finicky at best. Festool DOES have 3 different table saws: The CS50, CS70 and the TKS80 - however those are only available in Europe (or in the US if you go through the hassle of importing). I think the parallel guides are great for those that have limited shop space and can't fit a table saw (even a contractor saw).
@@BenMarshallDesigns Saving up to order a TKS 80 over here 😅. Pretty sure i heard on one of the US live streams the TSK 80 is coming to the US.
Keep making videos
That’s the plan!
Hi Ben. Very good content. Many Greetings from Germany - Festool Land….Why do you use the extensions for this job? I think you can also do this job in same quality without the extensions . I use the extension to route or saw slots….
Tag! The extensions have a shorter measurement than the regular parallel guides. The extensions are meant to make narrow rips like this. With just the parallel guides, you can't rip narrower than the width of the guide rail, so they are necessary
Why did you stop uploading???
Other priorities in life at the moment - kids, school and girlfriend. I’m a senior this year, so hopefully I’ll have the time soon to record some new videos. Still making projects, just few and far between. I’m on Instagram and upload stories weekly on there
How do you store them?
Just hang ‘em on the wall
hm... cutting your reference edge while the rail (or the wood with rail) is sliding on the table is far from ideal....
I thrive on the edge, brother
Never liked the Festool paralel guides. they must stay attached to the rail all time. TSO came up with guides that can easily be detached from the rail. Also, the keeper part must stay under the rail, and the waste outside.
To each their own. My buddy Jason Bent prefers the TSO ones as well. I think if you have the work surface for it, the TSO ones are legit. The festool ones have the Carpenter in mind, they are pretty rugged for field work
@@BenMarshallDesigns I did notice that the festool ones looks solid. What bothers me is the way they clamp and their position in relation to the piece that needs to be cut. All other manufacturers designed guides that sits on top of the panel/wood, only Festool designed them to register along the sides. In order to cut 1/4" sheets, the guides must sit outside of the cutting table.
@@ionut5316 yeah, it’s a hassle for sure. I think with any of the parallel guides, there will be some snags. Same can be said for just about any tool - we all choose which compromises we want to deal with
So you pussed out and quit. Good. We don’t need another light weight.
Was hoping you would take on the mantle
