Well here goes nothing. I am going to try to post my first video, wish me luck.
The guy in the video is my boss on this job/partner on the rest of our work. He was very skeptical about the legion of Festool. Luckily he has an open mind for a Dutchman.
I post a series of photos of this basement this year but this is the other side of that same basement and I will be putting up this side very soon. The ras115 is perfect for us in this situation because we are in a room that has no ventilation in house that is completely finished outside of this space.
Normally Dave would use a 4 1/2" grinder that puts 80% of the saw dust directly into the air. Dave was initially concerned about the weight of the ras and being incumbered by the hose. It turns out that the weight difference was a benefit as it added stability while grind and dampened the chatter and hopping a lighter tool would incur. Dave used the tool for two days and as it turned out the third day was a Monday and I was late to the site because I was wrapping up a weekend project, consequently my ras was late as well. When I arrived he informed me that he now hated his grinder because he had to cope outside and that the grinder was bouncing around. The other concern was neutralized by the hose placement.
