I had an opportunity to video a cut with the rail held by the Quick Clamp. I also did a horizontal cut on the same opening, sorry no video of that.
I don't own a Kapex, but I have to thank the very fine folks at Festool in Lebanon for the shirt. (Received it when I attended one of the classes). Tom |

Just used mine the other day! Some clients called me because they bought a new refrigerator and it wouldn't fit...so I zipped off 5/8". Client couldn't believe it.

I've never done the door trick. Nice job Brice. Amazing what we can do, when we are not working together.  I've done the horizontal cut on the cabinets often. Just never "recorded" it. I also used the clamp to hold the rail to a counter top to increase the opening size for a cook top. Because of the old opening, I was not confident in the rails stability. The Quick Clamp is one I use often. Tom |

One trick I have used with the Rapid clamp is if the piece I want to cut is deeper that the depth of the MFT table but less than the guiderail, you can make your marks and than put the pistol end on the guiderail, line it up and cut.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

I like how you used the clamps as an expander. I could have used this on many a job. As far as using it on a door in place, I'd think I would have more confidence in using the screw down ones |

Did the rail bow at all when using the clamps like that?

Very cool video of this in action -- thanks for posting. Once again, showing this valuable clamp in action. Brice, looks like the back of the casing is not the only thing you knicked (seem like something is missing on your rail too  )!  Scot |

Scot I'd tell the story of how that happened but Shane would have to delete it since it was the safest thing to do. There was this one time I got a phone just as I was setting up my 1010 on the rail. I hung up the phone and started to may my dado, turns out I never tightened everything down. You'd be surprised have well the aluminum on the rail can be routed.   |

LOL...I did that with the edge guides on my OF2200 -- I could figure out why I was routing a groove that was not parallel to the side of my dado and why I saw black plastic particles...did not tighten everything and the fence was moving as I pushed the router along...live and learn.

I think every one has some good stories like that Brice. I know I've done some stupid stuff before, just glad I never got seriously injured.
