Fill in the blank: I wish Festool made a ______!

[Corwin]

The fronts could just flip down

That was what I first thought too when I read how Brice wanted drawer Systainers for the tools.  The flip-down front may work okay for just the tool, but would likely not work as well for all the other stuff that normally accompanies the tools in their storage boxes.  The full-sized drawer for the tool Systainers would work better, but would surely cost much more and require a greater amount of space to house the same amount of contents than the current method.  

The new T-Loc Systainers may just prove to be a good compromise.  While they will still require to stack and unstack (aside from using SystainerPorts), the single latch will make this process much faster and easier.  I'm almost sorry to see these new T-Loc Systainers come to be since they will make our current Systiners out of date.  But, I do think it will be a more space efficient and cost effective solution than the other options suggested.

A base for the fence to allow the centering of a mortise on 10-14mm stock using the 4mm cutter.

Here is my Teztool hybrid design [big grin]

Pic 1- Take one Festool Trim Stop and remove all hardware, cut the two side wings off (if you dont want to revert to the original, but my tip is you wont as this is a ripper jig if you are into boxes or work where you constantly use thin stock)

Pic 2 -  slip shoe plate back on.

Pic 3 - just another angle [smile]

Pick 4 - Shows the left side mortise in a 10mm board with the Domi fence on the lowest 14mm height setting. The right side mortise shows the result when the Teztool Shoe is fitted to the base and the height setting is set to 20mm. Perfect center alignment. If you want to center an 8mm board, just set Domi on the 16mm setting.

I have on order via Post some some 4.5mm and .5mm black plastic that will be used as an infill for the jig so small widths can be plunged. Will post an update when completed. I love this jig, and its well worth the expense of rooting a perfectly good Trim Stop.

Tezzer,

Have you checked out the Domino jig by RonWen? Loads of us on this site have bought one of his jigs. Here is the thread:-

Richard i have made his prototype and its a ripper, Ron done an excellent job coming up with this. But we have totally different jigs for different applications. Mines not so much for stability, but for lowering the plate to center in thin stock.

If i wasnt so far away i would love to get one of Rons jigs [thumbs up]

Have it shipped in a fogtainer!

Have it shipped in a fogtainer!

I would love to, but i think the Fogtainers are all gone.  :'(  Plus the first three letters of my surname are Fog and that was my nic name for years [big grin]

    Maybe someone would swap a paddle version for yours?

Cool idea Terry, having had the privilege to work with a bunch of antipodeans a few years back I quite understand the "worth the expense of rooting a perfectly good Trim Stop"  ;D Cheers.

I wish Festool made a set of very nice measurement and layout tools like woodpecker or Incra does. Squares, T- Squares, rules, etc.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

How about a nice laser?

 

[Corwin]

I wish Festool made a Sweeping 90 degree antistatic fitting for use with their extractors and extractor accessories.  I would like it to have one male end and the other a female end.  It would be nice to be able to plug such a fitting directly into one's extractor and then plug their hose into the other end.  And, it would work nicely using two fittings to make a 180 degree bend for those of us connecting a cyclone to their extractors.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

Can you guys make me a robot to do all the work for me, all I have to do is tell him?

I would pay a decent amount of money for that.

Needs to be easy to carry, quick to set-up and some sort of filtration device. [big grin]

 

[nickao]

What is the fun in that?

Good to see someone picked it up [big grin]

I'm sure I could find somethings to do while he was working, golf and a nap comes to mind first.

 

[nickao]

Oh, I woodwork for a living and while you are golfing I would rather be woodworking as well for a hobby. Nap, what the heck is that?

I wish Festool made a Festool credit card with the rebates/points  accured going  to the purchase of product and or services. [smile]

 

[Kodi Crescent]

a "25% off all tools" coupon?

 

[Deansocial]

or a scrap old tools scheme like hilti

 

[speed]

a corded drill would be good
