Are the parallel guides available in inches?
FINALLY…. A CLEAR, and comprehensible set of guidance on the parallel guide system (PUN INTENDED)…
But Seriously… I always stared and pondered at the guides and wondered to myself…. "HOW in the ACTUAL #%@* is THAT even used?!?!?!"
Awesome piece of kit. Hope my question isn’t too stupid in a Festool channel but, would these parallel guides and their extensions work in a makita rail?
Is it possible to use the quick clamps with the parallel guides?
👍👍
even quicker..you sure?….than setting the fence on a tablesaw? 🤔hmm
Also… Do these work with the HKC saws?
The video was outstanding a lot of great information. I have been buying Festool tools for a while it has been a game changer it was the best decision I have made. Will be watching further Festool live presentation and hopefully in the future get in to a class. Stay safe and good luck on all future endeavors.
Man I could have used this today. Great ingenuity.
nice. very clear and helpful.
This video was very well done and easy to understand. Nice work Brent!
This is the worst product Festool makes.
Brent is a refreshing change from Sedge.
I see Festool has stepped up their game with this good quality video production, about time, and thank you! Hope to see more like this in the future.
Your videos are soooo much more pleasant to listen and watch, than listening ro Sedge do his stupid 3 Stooges impressions. It’s truly cringe worthy. Thank you for being professional and not acting like a 5-yr old doing impressions of someone that has absolutely NOTHING to do with selling the Festool name/products. 👍👍
I noticed the wood bowing in the middle when cutting 2” pieces due to the weight at the ends. Is that going to affect the precision of the cut?
Well explained! I also like that you mention it NOT for 90 degrees edges. I think that’s important to know
Just one question Brent. I have the guides, etc. and use them, but I have always been concerned about cutting to final measurement with this system. In other words, I have been under the impression that you make your rough cuts, slightly oversized, with the guides, then cut more precisely later. I get the impression that I was wrong about this and would like your thoughts/input. Are you confidently cutting to final length using the guides?
It would have been nice for you to show the width of your cut measurements so we could see the cuts were dead on. Goes with the old adage trust but verify. Very nice clear vid great job.
Did you reattach the splinter guard after calibration for thin rips?
