Glad you enjoy it!

As the age of sedge comes to it's twilight, a new dawn arises with Bent's "Festool" woodworking.

You are a great teacher. It comes through in every video.

Thanks Jason. You represent Festool well. Looking for ward to more video's. Cheers from Canada.

Thanks Jason!

Thanks Jason. Always helpful. I used the MFT and my parallel guides to build my first two cabinets. BUT… I built one. Then built the second. The great thing is that because the Festool tools are so accurate…. They are the same. But it would have went so much faster if I had done it this way. About to build some more. Definitely going to do this.

That is awesome!

Go Jason!!! Well said.

Was this off by a 1/16 of an inch or is that accurate enough? Or just the camera angle didn’t capture the cuts well? That is about 1.6mm off. I normally find using a parallel guide and a quad hinge system to give me accuracy that tape measures can’t detect. Just wondering why things are off slightly. If my calculations are right, the angle is off by 0.1°, I am guessing parallel clamps are not calibrated properly. Over an 8ft rip cut, this would create an error of 4.2mm assuming the pieces cut were 3ft long. If the error is caused by the hinge system, measurements will differ. If the error is caused by both the parallel guide and hinge system, the measurements will differ again and be the error be smaller. The question which should be talked about, because newer woodworkers would get bogged down with these details is accuracy vs consistency? As long as the errors are good enough, the project will be good enough. If accuracy is required, calibration of the track saw on the track, the blade, the toe, the hinge to fence, parallel guides all have to be meticulously checked and taken care of. Rechecked every few cuts.

I still prefer TSO parallel guides :)

As much as I love my Festool products, I have to agree the TSO parallel guides are better. Festool needs to sell a retrofit kit for their parallel guides to support the tippy legs or modify the connectors to allow the legs to rest ON the sheet. Both TSO and Woodpeckers parallel guides do that. I wish my Festool parallel guides did it, too.

i love Festool.

Bent works at Festool now?! 😆 Was a little jarring seeing one of my favorite KZreadrs on Festool's channel - suddenly getting the sense that the woodworking community is a lot smaller than I'd realized. LOL

Smooth is fast

What guide rails did you use? One 2700 or 2 1400’s?

Rip/Cross cuts on plywood that have alternating grains?

After taking a Festool training class I started cutting this way. My issue is with accurately setting the parallel guides. How do you make both sides match by eye?

I slide them together (while they’re on the rail) so I can make sure they’re in sync. If they feel flush then they’re quite accurate. Hope that helps 😊

This is a greatly helpful video. But don’t have all the tools shown here.. so have to slowly build up my collection :)
