Is the dado head adjustable for width of cut?
Tinker

Hey Tinker
Yup it is - 16 minimum and maximum is 25mm

That rebate attachment is very good. Surprisingly it's not that loud either.

Hmmm, knife and butter come to mind  [cool]

Peter, That dado head is the most interesting item you showed on the vid.  Like the Domino, I think it will be a gamer for a lot of woodworkers.  Not so much for stopped dado/rabbets, but for any joint that goes full length of board or full width. I also do a lot of half lap joinery.  I still have my old ATF.  For some projects, it would be very handy to have one saw set up with regular blade and other with the dado head.  Will that head be usable with the ATF 55? If so, I wood probably have the head installed quite permanently on the ATF.

That Dado head is a very special item and I suspect it is HK only. My only question is will it fit on the HK 55?

I’m gutted!

I went to MMTC nearly five years ago, and they were a small shop in a residential area.  They were really helpful (I was after a spare part for a garden shredder) but their Festool display was only perhaps 3m wide.

Two weeks ago I went to the Axminster Tools Festool day and had a wonderful time seeing the new tools.  And it was really good to meet Phil Beckley, with whom I’d had an email exchange a year ago.

If I’d known MMTC had moved and now had such a brilliant display, and that Peter Parfitt would also be there I’d have done the 300 miles round trip without a blink.

I guess there’s always next year…

Hi
The short clip of the Yeovil store gives a good impression - nice place and helpful staff. Can also get a decent Burger and tea from 'Ells Kitchen' at the back [huh]
See you at the next one Andrew

I realise that some of the HK 85 material had to be clipped in order to get the whole Roadshow in one video. So, I have arranged to borrow an HK 55 and will be making an "HK" video with a little bit from me (with the HK 55) and the whole of the footage of Phil with the HK 85 (plus Dado gizmo etc).

I suspect this is about 2-3 week away but will do my best to get it out as soon as I can.

In the meantime I have a challenge....

The photo caption competition 2015. The winner gets an email from me saying "hey, well done you won" the runners up do not get an email. Here is the photo, and please, please don't say anything that the FOG police will obliterate:

Will the hk85 be incorporated into the cms ? That would be a beast

Hi
There are no plans for this and I doubt this will happen long term.
