OH!  LOL    My other hobby was bodybuilding.  The arms are needed when benching 415 pounds  [tongue]
But those days are over.  I lost the need to push my body to extremes with the dieting and lifting.

The excuse is you can use it for more then line boring.  You can use it to make a MFT  top or other creative things.  I've used it to make a jig or two !  [wink]

Thanks,

I have a very nice traditional work bench, and  lack of space shop for another table/work surface . I dont know about you, but any flatish spots tends to collect clutter in my shop.
 
  Part 6 guys.    This video covers the adjustable legs I use for base cabinets, so it's not going to be for everyone.  But it shows how you can use the

LR32 system for more then just line boring holes in the sides of the cabinets.  I'm still looking for other ways to use the LR32 system and this is

just one example of what I have come up with.  Check it out and as always comments welcome!

Sam buddy, I hope you still have some popcorn available  [wink]

                           

Thanks,

Eric
 
And just a little FYI.....it was suggested to me that I make a playlist for this series of videos.  So I've done that in case anyone wanted to watch all

the videos in series.    The playlist is on my youtube channel.

Sorry, but I forget who the member was that made that wise suggestion, but you know who you are  [embarassed].

Thanks,
Eric
 
Where did you get your guide bushings and router bits.  I have the same legs and wanted to do the same, was waiting on your video.  Good job.  Thanks.

Hey Michael,  You can use guide bushings for Porter Cable routers with the OF1400.

But I bought mine from Woodcraft.

And...

Router bits from Woodcraft as well. 

Thanks,

Hello guys/girls.

  This is the last video  for the series of videos I did for the LR32 system.

Please note that this video does not show the LR32 in use, but I wanted to show how using the LR32 a long with the rest of the Festool system

can make building a cabinet Faster, Easier and Smarter.  Plus I'm showing how I install drawer front for European style cabinets.

If you watched the other videos then you know it's a top secret that I may get in trouble for sharing, something the pro's don't want you to know.  [tongue]

I hope I helped some of you guys with understanding the LR32 system a little better.  I got to be honest with you, it feels going doing the

videos if it helps just one guy.  I'm glad I could make them available as a way to contribute to this great community we have on the FOG.

                                                     

Thanks for all the positive feed back guys.  [big grin]

I was thinking about trying my luck at adding something like this to the video.  But thought it would be too much trouble for me to go thru.

Eric,

Great set of videos.

Just one thing on the drawerfront connectors - I've found that the Blum ones (295.1000) aren't that great. The metal plate is very thin, and though it's supposed to move in 2 directions, it only really moves well in one.

The Hafele version (part no. 430.90.320) is in my opinion far, far superior. It's bigger (fits a 25mm hole), and has a cast zinc alloy boss inside the plastic that has a much greater surface area and deeper thread. The adjustment is a good 5mm or so in any direction. Because they're bigger and stronger, you don't need to add any extra screws to fix the drawerfront to the box (assuming you use 4 per drawer) therefore making it easier to adjust in the future when the drawer is loaded and has sunk slightly, which they have a tendency to do.

I'd suggest you try one - if you do, I'd bet you won't be using the Blum ones again!

Edit: just had a look on Hafele's US site, and it appears that part is NAINA! In the US they just sell the same one as Blum...
 
fantastic! Several years ago I've read most of the stuff about the 32mm around then. I never had a chance to really used it in the shop so many aspects I never  really grokked.

Jonny you tease !  [tongue]

I was reading your post got all excited then you hit me with the bad news at the end.  Thanks buddy.

I really like your videos and your explaining what and why you are doing different things.  Your videos are much better than some I've seen and those people should put their cameras on a tripod when making a video.  I got sea sick watching and turned their videos off.  I went to the IWF show in Atlanta in 2000 and saw Festool for the first time.  Wish I had become a "Festolic" at that time, but I have yet to purchase.  Hope to change and try Festool soon.  You and others of the FOG are offering good information and I want to build lots of cabinets for my garage.  Made about six cabinets for tractor/auto, lawn/garden, electrical, paint, hardware and may redo them if I become a Festool owner as I see more and more advantages.  Have always purchased the best tools I could afford for any job and I have a VERY understanding wife.  Also have a 40 plus year old daughter who wants a entertainment center to go along with the kitchen table we built for her last year.  You would have been amused watching the daughter routing the table and then combing the chips out of her hair.  A router with dust collection would have saved a lot of clean up of the garage and chips not in her hair, but she loves her table!

T.Tom  first    [welcome]

          second  [thanks]  for the kind words.    If and when you make your first Festool purchase please report back and let us know what you get

and how well you're getting on with it!  May I suggest a OF1010 or 1400 router  with a Ct vac    [wink]  [tongue]
