This is an old video but I could have used these a few months ago when doing horizontal railing balusters! I was trying to drill in at an angle in the already installed newel posts. I wonder if I can get this zobo festool set shipped to the states! Cool video

Messmate Stringybark, Brown-top Stringybark, Australian Oak, Tasmanian Oak, Victorian Messmate. These are the terms to describe ‘Messmate’ . I’m not sure whether you can in include iron bark in there. One other beautiful timber that I have used a lot of recently is red iron bark. It’s comparable to jarrah and red gum in appearance but only in my opinion. I made a bed for my grandson out of it. I have used it extensively in some of my building contract work for decking and posts. It is very stable off the tree. A timber that is comparable but more durable not mentioned is tallowed in my experience it is superior to spotted gum for durability. Essential energy used it as cross arm for their transmission pole cross arms until recently but the forest where they took it from, Dorrigo, has been restricted because there is not much left. They use fibreglass cross arms now . I applaud your use of some of those recycled timber’s. You can really get some beautiful grains in that old growth timber. Subscribed!

Hi and thank you for this video! I noticed that the granat NET that you used did a better job than the regular granat sandpaper on removing the dark part that you were trying to sand off- is this true? if yes, why would this happen if the grit number of the regular granat sandpaper and grit number of the granat NET are the same? Wow its been 5 years since you made this video and Im just seeing this as I bought my first Festool sander and trying to figure out the whole process of sanding ...Thanks again.

I'm pretty sure it's designed like that so you could raise each side independently and leave table at an angle so that when you slide your thin workpiece back and forth on the table you're able to utilize more of the belt. I don't think that I've ever had both sides of my table at the same height unless I am sanding a piece that is 5 or 6 in wide. I think the dust collection is also quite adequate. The directions the belt is moving throws the dust right into that narrow port

I tried to adjust as you showed and I cannot get my same Wixey gauge under 90.7 no matter how far left I turn that little black knob. If I go right then the gauge will go up, but if I go left it will not fall below 90.7. Your instructions were very simple to follow. When I dropped the blade down to the maximum depth I got a better reading more around 90.1 or so, but not sitting on the counter in the same manner you showed. My saw is new so I don't understand why it is off, but my edges are not perfect when I am trying to assemble a panel with 3 boards. It is ever so slight, but there is a tiny gap between boards so I thought I would test the degrees.

Does Festool make sanding pads for use specifically with Granat NET sanding sheets?
@bartholomewgreatpants34254 ай бұрын
They make protection pads specifically for use with granet net mesh paper. I suppose you could use their thick foam interface pads with the net paper too, but the protection pads are specifically marketed for the granat net paper.

Hi, Just found your video so rather after the fact :) . I'm looking for a hard wax oil for my hardwood/red cedar dining table (it's not a light colour) and am trying to decide between Fiddes Satin and Evolution Satin. Which do you think has a more durable finish? Thanks.

Hi Steve. Let me add before a whole heap of Yanks start ordering Tassie Oak. Victorian ash plus some other timbers were clumped together and marketed as Tasmanian Oak. Unlike American oak, they are not particularly durable or strong and termites love the stuff. This timber is used for termite monitoring bait station. (centricon termite system) I am a floor sander who has dealt with "Tassie Oak" on numerous occasions. There is a long list of Aussie timbers that are far superior to Tassie Oak. Spotted gum, Brush box, Iron Bark red and grey, Jarah, Blackbutt, Blue Gum, Turpentine, Kari, Grey gum, the list goes on. It's a clever marketing tool for a timber that should only be used for furniture where it's softness and termite problems won't be an issue and it's ease of use in gluing is a bonus. Cheers Ya'll.
@sicdsteve1 Жыл бұрын
Yes I use all those timbers you mentioned, jarrah is one of the nicest timbers to work with I find, spotted gum is very waxy and works well but a bugger with gluing as a result of the wax. Have to fresh cut, wipe with acetone then glue. I always join it with dominoes or dowels mechanically as it is prone to movement.
@craigsaunders7037 Жыл бұрын
@@sicdsteve1 I have made furniture out of Tallowwood. Probably worse for gluing. I obtained some glue out of the states designed for Oak, that apparently has the same issues. It was a two part epoxy that was designed to dissolve the resins in oak. It worked pretty well on Tallowwood. I was also wiping the joints with metho before gluing. Bathroom vanity was made 15 years ago out of Tallowwood using this glue and It has no signs of problems. Cheers. PS. Yes, it was a pain in the ass. I had Tallowwood left over from an outside construction project that I used in the bathroom because of it's durability. The wife loved it so much I'm stuck making everything out of bloody Tallowwood.
