Is the plumbing issue anything to do with too low water pressure or flow rate...?

Are we allowed to guess, as I may have an inclination as to what it may be....?

The batteries between the sanders and the saws are not compatible unfortunately. The sander batteries are specific to the sanders and are a totally different shape & format.

The machine was delivered back to me at 9.30 this morning......by UPS! Need to get my final edgings applied now for the job 👍

@Doug71 The ironic thing about the UPS so called collection was, when I originally rang Festool, I offered to take the tool up there myself to hopefully speed the repair process up, but the guy I spoke to said that the earliest they would be able to look at it would be at the beginning of...

The only other tool I've had to send back to them about 3 years ago, was the big OF2200 router that was still within its warranty.......The armature was sparking excessively and speeding up/ slowing down of it's own accord. This was collected, repaired and returned within 4 days. When you rely...

The machine is their Conturo edgebanding machine and apparently, needed a replacement part that cost £2.00.... The drive roller that pulls the edging and board through the machine was not engaging and there was a loud clicking sound.

One of my Festool tools stopped working correctly late on Thursday afternoon last week, right in the middle of a job in my workshop......🤬 I immediately rang Festool UK and was informed by them to open a repair request via the "My Festool" login. They arranged for UPS to come and collect the...

Depending on how the OP's choice of router is mounted, a lot of the Dewalt, Elu & Festool routers I own have 6mm holes/ threads already tapped into the base of them, so it would just be a case of working out the PCD of the holes and then drilling corresponding countersunk clearance holes in the...

As you say Sideways, even at 20mm thickness, it will need some additional support / bracing underneath to prevent sagging.

Sorry Mike, I read " self tapped" as meaning self tapper screws. Even so, the stress on your blade guard is nothing like the stress that would be placed upon the solid surface panel that the OP is planning on using.

@MikeJhn With all due respect, a few small self tappers into the edge of what I assume is a Perspex type material, is not the same as threading bolts into the end of Solid Surface material. The weight of the material itself is substantial, then add to that the weight of a decent router...

M8 or M10 tapped directly into the end thickness of a 20mm section of solid surface material?.....I think you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.....It may be okay initially, but I think over a relatively short period of time, you will get stress cracking in the area of those bolts...

You could, but the belt & braces approach would be to fix threaded inserts into the Himacs and screw the bolts into them.....Especially, if you are planning on using those bolts to hang the router from.

Considering what you are planning on using the offcut for, there would be no specialised techniques needed. Ideally, a negative rake saw tooth blade would be best to cut it with, but you would get away with a decent fine tooth blade. If it were me, I would cut it on the saw about 1 or 2...

I'm glad you've managed to source a replacement....👍👍

@Barbara T,......Have you enquired about "Flame Spray Repair"...? It's a method of repairing a component typical of the damage your spindle has suffered from.

.......And the flip side to that is,....I have quite a few Festool batteries, the oldest pair are from 2011 and they still take and hold a charge and are used extensively for my work.

I've just measured mine and can confirm the dimensions of mine match @scholar 👍 And mine does have the 2 collars at each end either side of the wheels....

No problem Tibi,.....I'll measure them up when I get home this evening 👍
