A LR32 video. The last video of the series. Video 7

[HowardH]

Not to mention it would take a long time to amortize a $100,000+ machine unless one had a high production shop big enough to make a big Format 4 payout.  Of course, some folks who have an unlimited budget like that doctor I saw I believe on SMC who had six figures in Felder, etc. equipment and it looked like it had never been used.  Maybe I saw it originally in Fine Woodworking but wherever it was, it was top shelf.

Excellent and very well presented, Eric.  I learned a lot.

Eric,

Great video, keep making them!

Thank you for making and posting these video's. I'm a "newer" woodworker, and really learnt allot from them. I have a question to the reference of video#4 where the of1400 dust collector wouldn't work with the 35mm cutter, unless a modified? does anyone know if the of1010 dust collector works with the 35mm bit "stock" configuration? or what needs to be done to make it work???
thanks

my 1010 works with the 35mm bit just fine without mods, mine is an older unit so im not sure if they have changed the shroud.  the 1400 shroud extends up vertically from the base then returns in horizontally towards the router bit,    the shroud on mine is like a cylinder with no top or bottom

to be sure, just make sure that there is at least a 35mm hole through your dust shroud

hope that helps

thanks john, i appreciate the input. it helps allot. where i live, has no festool dealer, and the closest is 1.5 hours away. thats not so bad, but when there, no one knows much about the festool system. the store owner said they will never stock a lr32 system, because there is no demand for it; they had 1 request 2 years ago, in 5 years of business. i wanted to see an of2200, "we dont stock it because our market doesn't need or use it". ct48, same thing. being new to the festool system, it would be nice to actually see the product, and talk to rep's have working knowledge of the system. thanks to some great input from a traveling festool rep(danny) i did manage to get my first order placed for of2200, mft/3, ct vac, and cms. I wonder if I have to buy "blind", and get questions answered only by festool employees, if i'm better off finding a good online dealer? save the sales tax, and free shipping? just thinking about it, $3800 first order, 2 trips x 3hours r.t., gas and over $200 sales tax.

thank you again,
joseph

Great Videos Eric, I have owned the system for quite sometime but have not had the time to put into the learning curve of using it , the information will certainly save a lot of time if not materials experimenting . Thanks again well done!

The main reason I bought the LR-32 System was due to Eric's videos!

Great stuff Eric.

New to the FOG, trying to get 5 post so I can add a link in my post for the video contest.

Slight thread necromancy but I wanted to say great videos, thanks for making them!  I definitely recommend them to anyone learning LR32!

I am somewhat of a newbie to the festool world and was trying to decide between the Festool, Veritas and other systems for a series of cabinets and mobile tool storage carts.  The videos have sold me!  I have wanted the 1010 for edge trimming and everyday use, just another reason to get the order in.  Thanks for putting together such a great series!

 

[Cam101]

Great videos Eric, thanks a lot for putting in the effort to make them.

I am slowly converting all my power tools over to Festool and your videos are making the transition easier. The true 32 system was a mystery to me but now i'll be attempting it on my next cabinet build.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Eric,

I realize that I am resurrecting an old thread, but I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. They have been incredible. I can only imagine how many LR32 systems have been sold because of your work.

Thanks again,
Mark

Hear hear! I managed to start using my LR32 the minute I got it without glancing at a manual for even a second thanks to these video's! 16 up and out!  ;D ;D

I downloaded and watched ALL the videos BEFORE I decided to buy the LR32 system. The videos were great and if you offered a small LR32 workbook, I would definitely buy it.  Thanks for helping me understand the system!

Erock's videos have been a great learning resource. I was kind of lost on the LR32 until I watched his videos. (Thanks Eric!) You might like to look at LR32 End Stop for Blum Hardware and Blum Process32 about the blum process 32. There is a PDF in the thread about how to standardize cabinets using the 32mm system. It has all the dimensions for layout of cabinets. The start and stops are a little different than the stops created by Festool, but it's a good starting point and the stop created by Matt at the tread is great if you want to completely adopt the blum 32mm process to standardize your cabinets. I like having a resource to go to and works well.

800mm divided by 5 (number of drawers) is 160mm.  160mm is an increment of 32.  So I would make 5 drawer fronts 160mm MINUS a

3mm reveal for the top and bottoms of the drawer fronts.  Making my drawer fronts 154mm for the height. 

Then lets say my cabinet is 400mm wide, finished.  I would also subtract 3mm for each side for the reveal.  Making my finish cut for the drawer front

154mm in height x 394mm wide.

Eric,

A little late but...

Something i cant wrap my head around is the reveal/gap: wanting a 3mm gap between the drawer faces, if you took 3mm off the tops AND bottoms of each face, wouldn't that leave you with a 6mm gap between each face?

I'm sure there is a simple answer and it's right in front of my face but I just can't seem to get it. Driving me crazy!

Thanks for the videos. I've watched them a few times and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Just can't get past this one part.

Agree. The draw front should be 157mm x 394mm to get a 3mm gap between the drawers.

I'm still in the figuring out how to design this thing stage, so no big mistakes have been made. (Give me time)

If I want a 3cm silestone counter top to be at 36" that is 914.4mm. Let's call it 914mm.

Subtract the 30mm for the countertop and I'm at 884mm, then I can do 25x32 to get a 800mm tall carcass. I then add a 84mm toe kick and I've got a metric cabinet that's very close to the expected 36" height in the US.

Am I leaving out any layers in this stack?

Thanks!

I'm going to suggest that you make the casework a multiple of 32mm + 19mm so that you can use the LR 32 to line-bore the casework sides.  You can then size the toekick such that it sets the top at the desired overall height.  In your case, the closest increment would be 883mm which would allow for 27 32mm pattern sets (vertically).  I've attached my spreadsheet that might be helpful for you.

Hi was looking for the PDF you mentioned on how to standardize cabinets but couldn’t find it ... do you have a link?
