another beadboard bookcase project I just finished.

[honeydoman]

this project I used both of my mft tables put together, and the parrell guides to rip down the sheet goods. ( i am glad I finally bought them !)
in making the upper cab I ran a grove 1/4" with the mfk router and a 1/4 " bit to cut a grove for the back piece of beadboard.  I used to must nail it to the back, but since I went to the fesstool class back in early november I now do the  grove and it really makes it nice.

i have posted a before and after.

Kreg,

I love the look of beadboard and you always do it justice.  Not only is the work great, but you always use to use it in just the right places and just the right project.

Thanks Neil. Yep it really adds to projects and it cost the same as a plain back so why not

Kreg, that beadboard.  Wouldn't it be nice if Festool did a blade for the ts55 that would cut 1 long bead in a sheet of mdf.  You could move the rail over whatever size you wanted or have varying widths of board.  I think it would only require a thicker blade with a carbide tip in the shape of a cove.  As long as the left side of the tip was in the same line as the regular blade then it wouldn't affect the splinter strip.

Am i just being silly or does anyone else think this would work ?  I would buy it !

That idea would work. In fact, Festool already have a machine for doing just that, the PF1200. It's a rail-guided saw, with special blades for cutting grooves in aluminium-composite panels.

This is one of the blades:

Though at around 1200GBP, it's not cheap (though being Festool, you wouldn't expect it to be!).

that would be insane.  I get the bead board for 19 bucks a sheet primed.  so if I was to custom make it would take me an hour or more.  however, I have a blade deal that I put on my table saw that will make beads but I never hardle ever us that deal that I bought. cant remember the name of it  but it has replaceable round tips that do into a thing.  I think it is called magic something.
