I appreciate that the more experienced among us sharing some history.  As a newbie, I was a bit puzzled my the emotion I picked up reading the posts.

I don't quite understand the marketing strategy of the EZ folks.  I was literally interested in ordering one of the products, and was perusing their website..... THEN I read the owner's posts, and promptly decided that I would never, ever order anything from such a person.  If I was marketing a product, I would probably not go out of my way to insult an entire forum, its members, the tools they use, or the forum's administrator.  Strange.

But then again, thank you Dino for saving me several hundred dollars.

No need to reply, done deal.   Hope it felt good to "win."

Webfarmer,
If the facts are insulting to some people and the facts are real,
I don't feel insulted.

You can say you like the festool and nothing else, that's passionate opinion. But do not defame the merits of other tools or the efforts of others to invent new tools just to justify your affection.
This country still has some brilliant inventive minds. One of the obstacles they face in bringing a tool to market is the attitude that says 'there can be nothing better'.
The attitude Matthew, the 'superior' attitude.

Chris.

Dino,
After reading and searching the facts, I think Chris is 100% right.

Who is PaulB?
Never mind. I'll call you tomorrow.
Thanks for posting.

Dino - I cannot believe you are dredging up the crap you are posting.  After the last round of F vs EZ war posts at Sawmill Creek, the home of your own forum, I would think you would have learned something.  Apparently you did learn something, because the F vs EZ threads have ceased at Sawmill Creek.  I suppose you know if you acted on Sawmill Creek like you are acting here, the administrator would shut you and your forum down.

Matthew - I cannot believe you are allowing this thread and Dino's posting to continue.

Per - Enjoy your popcorn.

Webfarmer - Thanks for speaking with your wallet.

You got extra butter for that popcorn? : :

.............................So, to members of the FOG, let me say this: Dino can come here and post, but he's on a short leash.

To Dino: you can post responses to direct criticism of your products.  But do not use this forum to promote EZ Smart.

Thanks,
Matthew

I think this thread should be shut down. Dino was warned and he has gone well beyond responding to product questions or criticism.

could use a Big Red soda and some Junior Mints as well...

Will that be all, sir?

Good Morning,
This is fun!  Thanks Per and others for providing a theatrical experience.  But be careful, Dino might label you as one of my soldiers!

I agree that this thread should be shut down, and it will.

But for the moment, this thread is hurting Dino and helping Festool.  The more Dino brings up, the more he turns off potential customers, like Webfarmer.  Even the old Taunton posts he dredged up strengthen the arguments against him.  I've never harbored any ill will towards Dino, and in those Tauntonm posts, it's pretty clear I was trying to be fair to EZ Smart.

A lot of new customers come along who may not know the whole Festool versus EZ Smart debate.  With this thread available, they can get up to speed and make a proper choice!

Another thing, this helps the Festool Owners Group.  We've had some disagreements around here lately, and a discussion like this shows that we agree more than we disagree.

So, I'm going to lock this discussion by the end of the morning.  Get your final comments in everyone.

Last call for popcorn and soda!

Stay in touch,
Matthew

PS: I have some dirt on Dino that would devastate his entire argument.  Believe me, the inside knowledge I have would absolutely level him.

Good Morning,

Another thing, this helps the Festool Owners Group.  We've had some disagreements around here lately, and a discussion like this shows that we agree more than we disagree.

So happy to bring ( not brink )  unity to this club and save it from self destruction.

Matthew,
Call me anytime you have problems with your club.
Stay in touch.

Dino
You know my number. Yes, same one.

 

[Daviddubya]

Yo Dino,

Here's a new EZ Challenge for you.  Take this thread to the EurekaZone (EZ-Smart System) forum at Sawmill Creek.  Let's see how long it would take for the discussion to be shut down, the thread deleted and the EZ forum closed.

Yo Dino,

David.
From day one. And this is not the only thread.
The FOG rules are good as long as they benefit Festool.

Come over to SMC and start calling people "minions" because they don't own the same tools that you're promoting.
Stay in touch. I got this from Matthews.

Stop in our forum and you will see that we respect all people and users.
EZ-Ryobi...Minions...to keep Dino in check...
Is this a woodworking forum or a hate club?

Stay in touch.

PS. I will post the ez challenge in the SMC forum.
Challenge is good. So far I see no takers. : :

Yo again Dino.

So I jump over to the SMC forum and I look for the EZ Challenge you say you posted.  I look in the EZ forum, General Woodworking and Power Tools forum and Off Topic forum.  Where did you hide your post?  Or maybe the moderators have removed your post, like I thought they would?  We need a little help here!  How about a link - you can post links to other forums here.

Challenge is good.  So far I see no challenge.  ;D ;D

Hi all,

just wanted to let you all know that
there is something rotten in the state of Denmark

have been reading the EZ-Duzit thread because I have had
some problem with my Festool TS75 plunge saw and the
MultiFunctionTable

I need to rip 2" thick and 4-9" wide solid wood down to
2" by 2" dimension

now, I tried rip it with the Festool rail system and I
simply cant get perpendicular cuts

Dino The Carpenter at EurekaZone tells me it can be done
easily with their rail system and my TS75, but it seems
like all of the professional woodworkers here at the
FestoolOwnersGroup thinks the Festool is a much better
system

in the EZ-Duzit thread you all jumped on the carpenter
Dino but nobody is telling what's wrong with his system

some of the honorable members pointed out that Dino is
the owner of EurekaZone and wants to earn some money
on his own inventions?

do you mean the Festool or other companies are in the
business to lose money?

now, my only concern is to get perpendicular and square
cuts, so could anybody tell me how to do it with Festool
MFT and my TS75 plunge saw?

- also, why are the alu profiles on the side of MFT not perpendicular
to the MDF table surface?

makes it almost useless when clamping wood or jigs

this is hard facts and I need help, so please do not
blame Dino The Honest Carpenter for Festool malfunction

I spent good money on Festool MFT and rails and it
doesn't work. Is there some real reasons for me not to
jump on the phone and order some EurekaZone parts to see
if it could solve my perpendicular Festool problem?

Nils

Nisse - I have to say that I'm not sure what your problem is. I do this all the time (admittedly with 1 and 3/4 inch stock, not a true 2 inch thick piece, and I use an ATF55, not the 75). I can get within a few thousands of an inch accuracy over 31 inch lengths on the MFT. Perhaps one of the tricks is supporting the guide rail with stock of the same thickness. I've also found it useful to use a piece with a straight edge as a fence under the guide rail: set it so that you can snug the piece you're going to cut up to it, and you'll get a perfect cut every time (or at least the same cut every time, if you didn't align it properly). If you spend a little time before making the cut aligning the pieces, you can make perfectly square cuts.

You might also check that your saw blade is perpendicular to the base. Mine wasn't perfectly aligned when I got it - it's a quick and easy fix.
