Sedge... you are amazing. But we first time Festool newbies, are perhaps not professional woodworkers and definitely not as good and fast like you. We just wanted to buy the best... and are trying to learn our new tool. Sedge... I watch and learn regularly and have bought a lot of Festool tools.... Just slow a bit down.. for us and for your heart ! :-) Thank you from Canada

Wow guys, great video! Great tips and tricks on the track saw. I really enjoy learning about my Festools, because the manuals suck like most tool manuals, so these videos really help me. Thanks again guys, looking forward to the next one.

Great session, and thank you for bringing these to KZread.

These videos are awesome. Very helpful and motivating. Keep up the great work, Sedge & crew!

As someone who recently picked up a track saw, and then began my information devour period, finding this video was a godsent. If this type of video was made for all major tools and techniques i legitimately would pay for it given the time saved listening to others who either are nowhere near as informed as this gentlemen appears to be using it, or they leave out a bunch of information that leaves me with more questions. Cant thank you enough. -Steve

About to make my first cut on my tsc55! Thanks for such a great primer on the festool tracks.... Super excited to have such a wonderful birthday gift from my wonderful wife. And hi from the south western corner of Australia. Stay safe.

I purchased the TS 75 two days ago, it's my first Festool product. This was exactly what I needed!

dude i love mine, cutting some aluminum today ! purchased a 72 oshlun blade off amazon. Its dead on the track, I ran the 72 free hand on some plywood to take off some blade coating before putting on track. I think its gonna be great, its a non ferrous blade , but was cutting scraps of pre finished with no tear out at all. blows the 36 tooth out the water

Mines amazing . Wish I knew about them years ago ,as I used to use a skillsaw and a rail which it would usually go under and I’d throw fits

Awesome episode , really enjoying these Live videos . Great job to everyone involved .

Hey Serge = Don't be worried about saying "AH-BAH". That's exactly how we say it in Australia (you can add Australia to your watch list - just not live, as it's 2am here at 12pm showtime!). I absolutely love my TSC-55 and have gotten so much value out of your sessions! Thanks guys.

Nice job guys - these are making Monday something to look forward to.

Thanks for the shout out guys! I love festool. I use your tools every day. Great show stay safe!!

I never knew how much I could love tools until I bought a TS 55. Great video! I sold my TS 75 a few years back when I thought I was getting out of the trades....now I can't find one anywhere!

I'm from New Bedford, been living in the Midwest for the last 29 years. Its good to hear someone speaking proper English again! great tool

this guy loves his job. Got a new Ts75 :) I'm just as excited.

Brilliant tip re. aligning the rails; I used to line them up with a 4' level, not anymore..

I'm working 20 years with TS 55. Never failed me. This is the quintessence of German engineering.

Just what I needed, when I needed it!! Months ago I bought the MFT/3; yesterday I bought the TS 75 (a shoutout to Steve and the gang @ Tooltown in Paramus New Jersey!!)... I'm paranoid about making sure the board and cuts are 'true square'... Thanks!!

These Festool Lives are great...thanks!

The KZread replay of the Friday show is vastly superior to the Instagram original version. The video and audio are great here. And of course, the content is superb -- brimming with useful tips and info.

Amazing video. Just what I needed to get started with my new TS55. What a great guy the presenter is. Thank you so much!

Great to hear!

Like this. I hope this continues. Great info. Thanks.

Subscribed and liked. I own a TS75 and learned a lot about it in this video . Tell you truth I had no idea how to change out the blade 😊

I’ve used all the connection techniques for 2 rails and yet to get the perfectly straight cut , always off over a 2.4 metre sheet cut. If you want close to a straight cut, the only way is a complete rail , and even then it’s hard to avoid lateral flex on hard material . It’s not as good and accurate as they make out but it’s still the best on the market .

Thoroughly enjoyed this...

I love you man for the tip to get the track together... 😍

I’ve been trying to decide on a track saw. Mostly looking at Festool, Mafell, and Bosch (I have a lot of Bosch tools). This sold me on Festool.

Thanks!! I’ve been wondering what the -1 degree cut would be for.

Great presentation but relax..there’s no rush!!Thanks

I own a TS 75 that comes with a 36T blade, but I'm going to start ripping quite a bit of plywood, do you recommend that I switch to a 18T blade, or will the 36T handle no problem? And yes I know the TS 75 is overkill for plywood, but I use it for thicker stock, that the TS 55 could not handle.

Great tip using the saw it’s self to align the rails. I would avoid the Festool joining bars because the set screws drive into the surface of the track, making a dimple, and those screws will always find their way back and could keep you from aligning the tracks at all. Makita has a much better system with double bars, the set screws expand the parts inside the slots expanding with even pressure, and works with Festool tracks. I just saw new joining hardware from TSO that looks even better, it’s like the makita hardware in that it doesn’t drive screws into track, but it also has a unique profile that automatically aligns the tracks as you tighten... TSO GRC-12 self aligning guide rail connectors. Maybe Festool will license these rail connectors, because they were/are selling a Festool branded version of the [Excellent] TSO GRS-16 Guide rail square, Festool call it the FS-WA/90, item #205229, and it carries the TSO logo on the clamp. Again I'm not sure of the status of this version, it's shows out of stock on the Axminster UK website and is listed on the Festool Global site, [Festool.com] but not on [Festoolusa.com] or any of the local Festool dealers that I checked.

one of the best inventions of the 20th century i'd say

I just ordered the ts55 keb I am beyond excited I have the kapex already and absolutely love it. I want to get a big festool banner for my shop next!

Just waiting for a "Wicked" from the start. Nice tips appreciated the information.

@Festool USA where does the alan key go on the cordless tsc 55? I don't see it on the handle like the corded one.

This video is awesome guys

I ordered festools laminate blade for my TS75 . I have to cut 1/2” acrylic for a friends staircase . Are there any tips I should be aware of, like should I slow the motor speed down ? I’m concerned about when the saw exists the acrylic with potential chip out . I guess I could clamp some sacrificial mdf for additional chip out protection

You have a great attitude. You love your job .

Great. Great information!

Great video, thanks! An expert @ work, love that.

Big high five from Denmark. Such a informative and entertaining session. Keep ‘em coming 👏👏👏

Sedge...I swear you need to be put on QVC...Always enjoy watching you present...best trainer the world has ever seen!

Another great instructional video! Looking for depth to cut slabs, the TS 75 will be my choice.

Is there also coming festool live on the hkc 55 ? Love the episodes 👍

Great stuff. What is the difference between the newly released rails and the old ones? Are the legacy ones being discontinued?

I just bought the TS55 REBQ Plus. I really enjoyed your comprehensive tutorial. I have a question how is the best to cut the first time the splinter guards on my two 1400/2 guide rails attached with connectors. Thanks I am from Malta Europe.

Lotsa Energy. Plenty of good Information. Great progression of that Information. Thanks. Hopefully not a Bruins fan...not holding my breath though.

Great info thanks

Given the need to keep both the saw's cam adjusters engaged with the track, and your advice to plunge fully before starting the cut, what is the thinking behind Festool's decision to make a standard rail at 55" length? Seems like 60" would be more practical for crosscutting N. American sheet goods.

Amazing.

amazing presenter... thinking about getting a few Festool tools...

Great video. Easier than reading instructions

Dear Festool Live, which episode is the one with the MW1000? I cannot find it anywhere

Awesome job thanks 🙏

Good job man!

Great video

when I fit my green splitter guard on the side and plunge the saw down (before I start it up of course) the blade is catching the splinter guard, is this normal and does it need trimming like the splinter guard on the guide rail.

@kizzjd9578

4 жыл бұрын

Yes

This guy is great.. tools are awesome.

What if the board you are cutting is not as wide as the track? Any tricks to stabilize it?

Just brought a new ts55 and there is play in the blade. Is this normal. It feels like sideways movement

I wanted to catch this live but didn't get a notice. I bought a 75 and then a 55. I think the black edges stayed on the best. At least for me the clear plastic curls near the ends. I have even used acetone to get every bit of old adhesive off. I keep my rails separated for the 2 saws. What I really wanted to ask about was adjusting 1 saw to match the other so I can use what ever rail I want. I hear I of the saws has more adjustment than the other. How easy is it to mess something up?

@@S7tronic Thanks! I had not been aware of the TS Supplemental Manual before you mentioned it. Owning several Festool saws (TS 75, TS 55 and a TSC 55), I found it quite annoying that they didn't cut exactly in the same location on the track. I thought that was just a Festool manufacturing quirk, and I assumed the only way to maintain precision in my cuts was just to waste money to buy dedicated individual tracks for each saw. I owe you a big-time vote of thanks. That advice of yours was equivalent to a 3-star rating in the Michelin Red Guide.

I am sorry, I can no longer watch any of your videos..... I want EVERYTHING!!!!!! And all I have is the TS 55... and today is the day I am taking it out the box! :) Thanks for the great energy... makes learning fun!

great session but back off on the caffeine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

are ts55 and hkc55 blades interchangable?

Isn't the splinter guard also changed when you have a thickness of blade change?

2nd watch today. Seriously, good stuff.

Is there a way to calibrate the stop at 45

My saw will not retract all the way back up. The blade sits about 1" down at all times. I can't figure it out!! Help! I have the TS75

You're a funny guy I enjoyed watching your video

Great Presenter 👍

Brilliant,

This guy is great!

All I hear is God-rail, and splinter-God 🤣🤣

Which Tracksaw has more power? The battery Powered or the Corded?

Thank you much.

This definitely helps

What is that table on the left please? :)

Can this replace a table saw?

The boys!!

You tightened one connector but not the one on the bottom. I saw the gap between rails change as you were moving it around because the second connector was loose. You'd have to flip the rail with the saw on it to tighten the other connector.

Love your videos! So energetic! Have you ever done one of these on the MFT? I wish you guys would do one on the mft to really go over all the options and tips and tricks. Starting with and Specifically dead squaring out the table.
