"Chaos Theory" new How To Video from Guido Henn on Festool.de

If you mute the video volume and play Dark Side of the Moon all becomes clear. [scared] [big grin]
Excellent video Guido!
 
When the last two parts of the video are on air, there will be next a version with the fully video (about 33 min - without breaks). I will ask festool that we make this version with an english voice over. I think its better than subtitels - you should concentrate on the tools not on reading  ;)

Guido:

will there later be complete instructions and plan with dimensions for download on festool.de?
 
Yes there will be an articel (8 pages) in the next german Festool magazine "Holzidee"  (www.holzidee-magazin.de) this July. This magazine is free of charge and you will get it, if you have registered for a subscribtion (free of charge!!!) at www.festool.de/fuer-zu-hause . But I think its only for german customers - sometimes Festool decided to make a PDF to download the plan. International users should ask for it at festool.de ...

Great work, Guido!  I am lookin forward to seeing a pdf of the plan to build a similar cabinet.  The great thing about this design is that it can be expanded later when you run out of space by just adding more base and bays.

Here's some thing funny. I was watching the videos using the GOOGLE Chrome browser which automagically translates it into English... well most of it. The funny part is that it never occurred to me what happened and I was wondering why I could read most of the text on the site though oddly worded...DUH.

Well I'm sure there is some engineer at GOOGLE working on the audio translation feature for Chrome so that whatever site you visit it will all sound like a bad Kung Fu movie or an Italian Western :-)

Excellent videos btw!
 
In the beginning of the third video he is setting up the Domino, where it looks like he changes the Domino width setting, to the middle setting , WITH OUT THE DOMINO being turned on. I was told in the cabinet class that changing the width setting, with the Domino OFF, is a big no-no. As it can mess up the gears and should only be done when the Domino is ON?

Other then that I wish I has seen this video a year ago when I built my DIY Sysport.

You're right, the width should be changed with the Domino on.  However, you won't do damage as long as you don't force knob when the tool turned off.
 
All very basic stuff but interesting never-the-less. did anyone notice the domino was the earlier pin type
 
You are all right and also the manual says that you should change width while running the machine. But like Brice and Ken mentioned if you dont force the knob (sometimes !!!) you could also do it with the motor off - but it doesnt work always!!!

In such a video for the enduser I should have done it like it is in the manual not to confuse someone - next time I will do better ...  ;)

But also the professionals at Festool sometimes turn the knob (if possible) without running the machine, as you can see in this video at "Festool TV": He first turn of the motor and then change the width-knob:    http://www.festool.de/Service/tv/Ausgabe1Domino/Seiten/Domino-TV.aspx

Well, i quite often turn the knob when the machine is off.  If there is any resistance at all then i click it on.  Like others said, as long as you don't force it !!!
 
Just got done watching all four videos Guido, great job!  I actually like the music too.

I have a question about the holes for Hettich Excenter fixing. Guido had that DIY jig for the two holes (10mm and 20mm) which he uses with two routers.

[attachimg=1]

I am looking for the easiest way (except buying the 200 EUR Hettich Drill-Jig) to drill those two holes and was thinking if the MFS might be helpfull for this task.

My initial idea was to use a similar jig for the 10mm hole with a drill and forstner bit and the OF1010 with side stop, but when I saw the MFS 400 today I thought it might be usefull for this and other projects and even be more accurate since those Excenter fixings are not forgiving like the Euro Hinge.

Any idea how to improve the drilling process
