Your tips have saved me so much time and make batching out projects go smoother and more enjoyable. It doesn’t matter how many times I use the domino, it’s always my favorite tool to use in the shop!

At my house I literally found 7 utility knifes

I think that Hock blade retails for about twice what the entire Record plane sells for. (Yup, saw that in the conclusions.) I buy used planes, Record, Millers Falls, Woden, and Stanley. The Bedrocks are nice but I won't give for a used Bedrock what a new Lie Nielsen (Bedrock pattern) Plane sells for. I buy planes to use not collect.

Dude. This definitely helped. Thanks!!

Help!! Do you have a video about removing the old skid resistant strips on the back of the track? I’m having a h••• of a time getting the old one off. Heat gun doesn’t seem to loosen adhesive much. Thanks

I'd buy this, I own a ton of Festool thanks to Festool Live, but for some reason this is unavailable.

So the scale is essentially useless. You should be able to set the scale to the depth of the wood, and it accounts for the track height. IE if I have a 1” piece of wood. I set the scale to 1” and when it’s on the track it cuts through 1” with enough to pass through it. But at 1” it wouldn’t even cut fully through.

I've heard of these before and after seeing your demo, I'll definitely be ordering these for the miter station I'm prepping to build. Thanks much, boss~!!

No glue?

Very clueless grinding against rotation on the Japanese stone. It's a relatively soft stone which makes it much more likely to grip any edge or bevel..

Thanks a lot for the tip!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Was the drift issue resolved on the latest models? A good upgrade. As a new owner of the 500, I am binge watching to see how best to use this tool. It is crazy that as such an expensive tool requires several upgrades/accessories to get the best out of it 🤷🏽‍♂️

In no time you will be honing into the plastic backing.

I need better drawers for my power tools....something like Milwaukee and Dewalt have...

WICKED EASY @!@@!!! ! ! !🎉

What does it do … besides make Domino holes? (And put drainage holes in my wife’s wood planters?)

I’ve been looking for a good centre marking tool recently, watched this and thought I’d found the one but I’m in the UK and Bridge City don’t ship internationally. Anyone know UK-friendly alternatives?

El Cheepo here, great tips Sedge. I use my Rockler offset/center finding jig for finding dead center the few time I need it. Since I'm using mostly plywood or wood under 2" wide, it works great. For a lot of work, I have a small Milwaukee Carpenter's square that has an off set base of 1/4" & 3/8'. It's great for laying out brad or screw lines quickly on the edge or end of plywood. For longer lines I keep my TSO Rail square on a shorter pieces of track from my track saw kit. I also keep a metric saddle square in my LR32 kit as well. And no work gets done in the shop without my trusty FastCap "Yellow" 16' tape measure near by. The "Other" Warren from Caldwell Idaho.

Sedge, you’re the greatest! After watching this, I’ve regained my confidence in doing roundovers. Now I’ll NEVER make the mistake again. Best, clearest teacher ever (and funny to boot!).😊 Thanks for your work!

Thank you for your teachings. I use all these tools and for this moment,( before my next miscut...) I feel a tiny bit Sedge-Level.

Who knew someone with a Boston accent used metric. 😮

I’ve really like using my marking gauge instead of those pocket rules. In order to make it easy to see I run my pencil in the cut line. I bought the titemark from the lie Nielsen site. Love it!

Great tools. I I have the smaller TSO Triangle and I love it. I use it way more than I originally expected. No woodpeckers yet. One day….

I use Aerospace 303 with similar results.

Pull the green lid off of the pica to replace the led.

I've got the Woodpeckers's Saddle squares and the Bridge City center finder tool. Both are excellent tools. The saddle squares really shine when using a marking knife. The center finder is nice because, unlike a lot of other center finders, this one has a much wider opening for thicker pieces of wood. Great recommendations Sedge.

Sedge, on your Festool videos I have viewed your use of a Tape measure for inside measurements. The top of the tape has a window that shows, accurately, the distance measured. Whose tape is that? How to acquire? Thanks. Favorite Tape: Lee Valley Cabinet Makers 10' Tape, Light, small, remove the belt clip and carry in your jeans pocket. Imperial only, wish for Metric version.

I’m not gonna argue with some of the comments but Sedge somehow we know when money is well spent you don’t have to have every expensive tool but but what works in your craft is what counts! Love it keep up the great videos and always thanks for sharing!

Sedge, which bevel gauge do you prefer ?

Besides what you mentioned. Woodpeckers Tool 1812 or 2616 squares and Woodpeckers t squares. I also have and use Woodpeckers MT Center Gauge for mortise and tenon plus center marking. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Stay safe everyone.

I use a FastCap (same as yours) and a Bosch green-beam laser for longer distances.

I love my sashigane, a Japanese carpenters square made of spring steel that has mm, 1/10th and 1/16th inches, 4" depth guage, and a root-2 ruler for miters. Some also have a pi-ruler for getting circumferences from diameters instantly. There is a ton to it, from the special profile to tricks with the root-2 ruler, and I feel wicked smaaht when I use it, haha! It's basically a geometric calculator.

To anyone wondering, that self centering jig he showed is from bridge city and it most likely cost more than the other tools he showed. Combined.

Where do I find the mechanical pencil you’re using in this video? I do love how you make absolutely everything about woodcraft fun and exciting!

Great intel!! Love the self centering marking jig!! Keep the tips coming!!

Tip is, When adjusting feet on a long run is to do the corners first, get it level then drop the middle feet down. This way it is so much easier so you aren’t constantly having to micro adjust.

that was a great video, that was some amazing tips thanks for that

Another great video. Layout. Layout Layout!

My favorite is the fast cap as well. I like all the same things that you mentioned. Since I own the LR32 system now I like those diamonds at the 32 increments. And I like that it’s both imperial and metric since I am venturing out and making the jump from imperial to metric. I did just finish watching your older video on cabinets. I really liked the tape measure you used in it while measuring the inside of the cabinet. I think it was festool. Definitely want to look more into that.

Great video. I’ve watched a lot of cabinet videos. Everyone has their own tips and tricks. Glad I watched this.

I have a TSC 55 KEB and the blade has gone out of alignment. I cannot see in the manual how to correct this toe in. Can you let me know how to find out how to fix this? Thanks, Brian

It helps, thank you

Great tip. Thanks!

I just picked up one of these today for a bargain price on FB marketplace. Spent the afternoon cleaning it up. I’ll get a brand new pair of HEPA filters for it and hoping I’ll get a few years out of it.

Can't believe you didn't break out the HL 850 E Planer!

Great vid! Thanks for doing this. Just like you I started with the mower and now own snowblower, 16” chainsaw and now the new carbon fiber multi-head with string trimmer. My favorite tool so far is the chainsaw, it’s amazing! But EGO is by far the best in battery powered tools.

Wouldnt it be better to adjust the rail rather than the square?

Just use a hinge cutting jig, but I understand your showing off the possibilities of the router
