Its confirmed! You have OCD George, like the rest of us precision fanatics. Ha, ha! Funny story about Va Fangool... My Italian friend from teenage years was visiting India. A street urchin was pestering a tourist, and in sheer irritation he cried out, "Vaffanculo!". She spun around and said, "Un altro italiano!" (Another Italian!), and they joined forces to explore Benares, India. Only the Italians could invent such a lovely word for an insult.

Wow that was a lot of info! My tiny brain was starting to hurt watching this. Viewing your videos is not only great for the DIY folks, it’s also great for others to realize why custom builds are so pricey. Because I’ve been watching your builds from the beginning I was pleased to realize I knew some of the steps you would be taking to get those measurements correctly. When I first saw on FB or IG that this would be a 2 part episode I thought I was going to have to wait for another week to see it complete. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to see them both today. Thanks for another great video and the fun outtakes, now my week has officially begun. 🚐❤️🛠👍🏽

George, Most track saw manufacturers make special clamps for their tracks that slide in the channel and clamp from underneath, and thus are completely out of the way and don’t cause the track to tip up - not to mention faster. Not sure if Kreg makes any, but the channels seem to be similar in size across most. I use the DeWalt track saw quick clamps in my Festool tracks because they are more convenient (and cheaper) than Festool (no surprise).

Something I need to purchase. Once my CNC router is up and running. I can cut a hole top work table.
@Toolman933 жыл бұрын
Humble Road , yup - the clamping possibilities are incredibly useful. And CNC is the way to go. I’ve made several MFT style hole top workbenches with the Parf Guide system, which works great but is very labor intensive.

@bloodthirstysinner3 жыл бұрын
George, love your focus and attention to detail - the hallmark of a craftsman. One suggestion, which I hope does not diminish my prior statement or your pride in any way. You have an excellent circular saw there and likely a very sharp blade which is probably hiding the possibility of the problem/solution I'm about to describe: On that first panel you cut in the video -> Put the finish side _down_ when cutting with a circular saw. The blade teeth are striking the material as the blade enters the material. Whereas the way you had the panel oriented (finish side up) the blade is exiting the finished face. This causes splintering and possibly what you describe as a "blow out" in your video. No (minor) blemishes to remedy means faster product delivery in the end and keeps your options open.

Save yourself some headache and get the clamps from the rail manufacturer. I'm pretty sure kreg makes some for that track.
@HumbleRoad3 жыл бұрын
Would definitely be easier. But most of those clamps require the proprietary table or holes in the worktop. Some clamp onto the material itself, but my material rarely hangs off the edge of the table. Once I get the CNC router table running, I will make a few worktops with one inch holes all across.
