Woodworking can be fun, exciting and challenging - and it can also be VERY frustrating. Most times, that frustration hits when our current skills don't match up to our aspirations and goals to make that next project. My channel is focused on sharing skills, tips, tricks and how-to videos. I look forward to engaging with others that love the craft of woodworking.

Also, a table saw needs to be sturdy enough, needs enough surface and length to support the work piece to keep it straight, you have to be able to accurately set it etc, all things that cost quite a lot of money and space. A tradk saw with a long guiderail is accurate, takes up little space and costs less to be accurate. But i agree it takes some mental adjustment.
The STM 1800 is now $1199 and it's only two years later. It was $995 when this video was made. Crazy.
In my opinion TSO makes the best guide rail connectors, and their fasteners are designed in a way to not damage your track.
Damn I wish I bought it 2 years ago... Mine just arrived today at $1,199 LOL
I have Dewalt track saw, parallel guide is not there yet .. i am thinking should i just go with rail square or parallel guide. which one i should go first. very rarely i need repetable cuts, but if i need occassionally can i live with rail square please advvise.
How did you adjust the leg into levelling of the suport to the MFT?
The leg swings in and out a little to adapt to an uneven floor, you can also twist the bottom for height adjustment as well
Worth using for just sanding with ETS 150/5?
It's worth to save money on bags if you use a Festool extractor
Thanks for your video is this setup can handle weight for put resin slab on it and do sled router system?
I think it can hold up to 900 lbs
Thanks for sharing this. I'm new to woodworking and never considered breaking down materials at the lumber yard.
Glad to help
Ordered the ones on bangood, been a sponsor for festool way to long. I think other brands are way to expensive to. If i had the time i made my own guide rails
good
Good Video.. I want to say the following. You can buy them if ya want. I have found them to be no more accurate that what you can make yourself on a decent table saw and router table
That's true, but not everyone wants to make them themselves. I've gone through the stage of 'making my own jigs' in my workshop, and I just no longer want to do that lol. I'd rather just pay for some used ones and be done with it!
That’s so simple I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before thanks for posting this. I almost bought like $100 tool to do the same thing pushing the cuts out past the table and the other direction too though
Nice! Glad it helped!
Thank You Ben for this very helpful Video. You are Great Bro . Greetings from Wonderful Vienna . Thumbs up 👍and y follow your Channel .
Awesome, thank you!
Hello, do this method work for rips thick of 2 mm for example?
Technically yes
So happy that I found this video. I picked up a Domino XL 500 this past Christmas and this jig will go great with it~! Still getting used to it, but that's the fun of it, right? Thanks for this great idea~!
Enjoy!
You need to get more lights in your basement. I think I only see one!
I did
Guess what most production shops use. A table saw, it's not even the sliding table saw, just the regular cabinet type. Nothing beats a good table saw for repeatability and other types of cuts. Edit. You first cut to size and rip to precision. There's going to be waste irrespective of method used. Table saw is faster and involves no setup between very small and large pieces
not everyone has the space for a tablesaw. A track saw, guides, and track take up considerably less space and are more mobile than tablesaws.
The new connector is so much better
Toyota Prius ❤ love it. I feel so silly as I have the tundra and I was thinking how am I going to load it in the back with the tools 😂😂😂
lol
Maybe I’m overthinking this, but I’m having a pretty hard time getting my guides properly calibrated. For some reason I can’t just make the mark like you do on top and calibrate that way. I’m off by about 1mm. I take a square and match the line so that my track saw blade(in fast fix mode) is right off to the side of it. Yet I’m still off by 1mm. Do you think maybe I should draw 2 lines (2mm apart from each other) and try to set my blade right in between them?
Maybe? Usually these small issues are user error
@@BenMarshallDesigns I totally agree. Since then, I think I was finally able to dial it in near perfectly.
genious
Not a good video if you are looking for immediate and inexpensive options. . .
uh huh!
I found out that Ben is no longer doing woodworking videos and has moved on. Was wondering if anyone who has commented on Ben's video on his sysBench would happen to have Ben's plans for his sysBENch? I would pay for his plans if someone here would have them....thanks
You can reach out to me by email: [email protected]
Hi Ben.. The link for your website does not seem to be working. I would like to order your plans for your Sysbench as I really like your plan. I am building some garage shelving very similiar to your sysBENch. I hope your still offering your plans as I would like to purchase them...thanks
shoot me an email: [email protected]
Best method from all the ones I tried to square my MFT, so simple an dead on square after. Thank you.
nice!
That saves me a fortune in bags. I have to Festool dust extractors, one for workshop, one for site work. Whenever either bag is full I attach the dust separator and suck out the dust from a full bag. Then just dump the dust from the tub later. Nice video
I'd advise that you just shell out the cash for additional bags - over time it will clog up eventually and could put more strain on your motor.
When its fully opened out, os it the same height as the Mf3
Yes. Festool has all surfaces to 900mm
There set seems like a lot of work and very expensive to me
most are pretty pricey, no matter the brand
outstanding information to consider. and from a fellow Vet Thank you for your service
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
I'm glad i watched your video. I was thinking about buying a set of parallel guides, but your video helped me realize that while a set would be nice to have, they're not a necessity. Good job on the video.
Glad I could help. It's definitely something that fits if you're in a specific situation.
Thank you Ben, I just saw your video and like you I don’t have much room but the two extensions are useful and very practical. Thank you very much for your time for making this great video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! I work in a 120sq ft workshop and also can't fit a table saw. I use the MFT and have been trying to figure out an efficient way to do this. This video is a great help!
Very welcome
Really helpful. Thanks. Just getting into Festool tracksaw and this is just what I needed...
Great to hear!
Who cares what you like
your mom does
Thank you, Going to try this tonight. You just saved my project.
awesome!
Oh wow I never knew that borrowing a pickup was an option until I watched this video...
I like to do the hard research no one else is doing
Ben, hope all is well. Recently found your channel and enjoy your videos. Having said that, I notice you have not posted in a while.
Thanks, Billy. I switched to making motorcycle content about a 1.5 year ago!
I have also ctl26 sometime full up quickly.my question is just change reservoir bottom reservoir change with 48 liter less cost than cyclone and more effective no?
You don't have to replace bags as often if you use the cyclone - over time it is cheaper
Hello, Ben! This one is a Masterpiece! Thank You!
Glad you like it!
Do these fit to the ksc60 without the under frame like in the video? Thanks
I don't have the KSC60, so no idea!
No one seems to know the answer to this 😢😂
@@bigboundsythey don't
Your video just came up on my feed. Nice job! You might take a look at an old animation that I made to perform this same task. If you do, please turn ON closed caption. If you have additional material of the same thickness, the method I illustrate works nicely. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mXmrl7iOpNLMobA.html
What brought me here is I'm trying to figure out if/how I can transport a few 12' 2x4's in/on a midsized SUV without paying the guys that hang out in the Home Depot parking lot.
good to know!
On minute 3:46 what tool to make square the wood are you using?
Festool HL850 planer
Find a place to break down the goods at the local Lowes would be the hardest part. Especially if you have to plug in a track saw.
yep, I have a cordless tracksaw now - quite handy
Would love to see a video of one of your trips to the lumber yard with you breaking down sheets for transport in the Prius.
I have a story highlight on my instagram showing the break down of some sheet goods, should be on my account page
Stop watching at prius🤮
It's America's most favorite and affordable car for families that want to go BIG on speed, and stay SMALL on gas!
why should I watch the work of the language, show the work with your hands, the topic is about adaptation.
I believe there are some translation errors in this comment
OVERRATED AND VASTLY OVERPRICED
OKAY!
Thank you for your service, great insights
Much appreciated
