Thanks guys, left in un heated shed. Long grain. I can’t say when precisely but certainly after 5 or 6 hours I see gaps

Hi all Making a maple and walnut, with titebond iii, cutting board unfortunately the glue joints keep opening up Tried again with beech and walnut with no luck. The glue faces are planed flat before glue up with no shortage of glue and camping pressure I have no other glue left other than...

Good call on the msds- looks like it is mainly mineral oil

Hi all- I currently am toying with the idea of a router table and came across the Woodrat. will the WoodRat do what the router in a Standard table will or is it really focused on joints?

Hi All I have bought some Ronseal worktop oil, which is labelled as anti-bacterial. There is no guidance on whether or not it can be used on cutting / chopping boards. Anyone know for sure? Many thanks

A fantastic workarea you have there Mike.

Hi all i know the festool vac sys system for work holding has been around a while now. It doesn’t seem all that popular but it appears that it is gaining popularity of late (at leAst anecdotally) anyone got one or try one out? Looks very convenient for routing sanding and using the Domino machine

Thanks - I wonder if the full size kreg system would be better. I won’t be using the system for dovetails so that use case is ruled out for me

Hi all I have a Festool OF1010 for freehand routing but never have owned let alone used a router table, although time and time again I come across situations which would undoubtedly be easier in a table. I know there are several threads on router tables here, but as I have never used one I...

I use festool granat 100 120 150 180

Hi All I am continuously seeing swirl marks after sanding with my Festool RO150. I have tried turning down the vacuum power to the lowest setting, but these marks are still present. Anyone experience this and manage to correct it? Cheers

Thanks guys, the worktop is sitting in my utility room, same as Rorton- far too cold in the shed for me or the workpiece!

Hi All First time applying Osmo; do you sand between coats? I plan on application with non-abrasive pad, although i do have some of the festool vlies and pads at 1500 grit.

Worth looking at the Domino set, which not only includes all sizes for the dominos themselves, but all the cutter sizes too. Check amazon.de

Thanks Peter and all. A much better day today as I paid more attention to the lower guide assembly and didn’t fiddle with the tracking - as you say Peter, may never need to adjust the tracking again. I guess I need to be more patient. Lesson learned

Don't worry Steve, I have your DVDs too! About time you made some new material? !

I did see a bolt, however I cannot see myself adjusting this for various blade sizes. @Peter Sefton - why do you prefer the standard bearing guides over ceramic? I have a sense that the four lateral contact points with the ceramic setup might resist blade twisting more than a bearing either side?

Thanks again to all for the support. One last query - on the upper guides, there are two wing nuts for adjusting the thrust bearing, and the other for sliding the entire upper guide assembly. However, on the lower guide assembly, there is only one wing nut that brings the entire assembly...

thanks Peter, I have followed steps in your dvd. There must be something i am doing incorrectly.

What a terribly frustrating experience. I have made sure tension is correct, thrust bearing just a tad backed off, similar to side bearings. Upper guide assembly is down as close as possible to the workpiece while maintaining clearance.. Very poor curve cutting with the delivered 10mm blade. It...
