Festool on "How It's made"

[GreenGA]

I did a quick search to see if this was posted previously and found nothing.

Last night about midnight I was catching up on FOG activity when on the TV, I noticed on the HIM segment, they were following the manufacturing process that goes into a table saw blade. Those familiar with the series know that at the end if the segment, they show the final product which usually includes the manufacturer. Bingo! A gold colored Festool saw blade. What???

I backed it up and asked JR to watch just to make sure I was not mistaken. When I returned, sure enough, it was Festool.

Since the Science Channel occasionally runs HIM marathons, it may come around again real soon.

If you want to check for a rebroadcast, my cable provider is Comcast and I live in South Jersey which is in the  Philadelphia broadcast market.

Thanks for sharing the video.   Helps me deal with the price tag on the new Festool laminate blades I'm about to order for the TS55 and Kapex.    [eek]

Why can't we produce these kinds of things in the USA?
