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

[Kev]

A friend just sent me this prototype Festool product, don't know who produced it.

That's the SCREAMEX ... you should hear in when it's turned on  [sad]

that is definitely a fest product you'd use the return policy!

A Festool framing nail gun would be sweet. Battery powered!

And a cms module for a festool planer so one can use it as a small jointer. I see that there's a blet sander cms module so something like that perhaps?
I know they have a stationary set up kit, but can it mount in a cms?

 

[Acrobat]

And a drill that has a LEVEL INDICATOR on it so I can drill straighter! Sometimes I find the angle I hold the drill at when in awkward positions i.e.under a deck can mean I end up drilling the hole at an odd angle and it can be hard to tell visually until its too late.

I'm thining about getting a long rail, maybe the 3000. I do not have the LR32 system, but it could be in my future. I wish Festool made a 3000 "holy rail" so I did not have to buy 2 long rails. The 2424 is not long enough to rip sheet goods.

Thanks,

Daniel

 

[CarolinaNomad]

I second Runhard's suggestion and add, OF 2200 should be able to work with the LR 32 System

 

[Kev]

How about an LR32 drilling system for drilling LR32 holes into a standard FS rail? ... am I starting down the chicken or the egg path??

digital readout for the kapex.  1/10th degree would do it. (similiar to the 12" Milwaukee)

 

[vtteleskier]

I wish the Kapex had a small light shining over the cutting area. Nothing too bright so that the laser will not show.

A small light would also be good on the domino. I find it had to see my marks on a dark piece of stained wood.

track saw with a dado stack. when i worked in a shipyard when i was a kid we had skill saws that had dado blades, they were great for cutting dados in large timbers. It would be awesome with a guide rail for cabinet making

Why not use the router on the track for a dado?

Festool will never make a track saw that can take a dado. Dado stacks are forbidden in Europe.

Maybe, maybe in the far future, when their market share in America is high enough will they develop products specifically for the American market, but not anytime soon.

.... Doesn't mafel not do something which can do dados?

.... Doesn't mafel not do something which can do dados?

Most brands do something that can do dados. They call it the plunge router.  [poke]

But Mafell has two routers that look like they're circular saws. But they're not. Mafell calls them routers. MF 26 cc & NFU 32

Those two machines are dedicated machines and can do all kinds of dados, but with a special blade, not a dado stack.

For normal circular saws, dados are strictly off limits.

Festool scientists!!
I would love to have an auxiliary fence for the Domino 500. I recently purchased the 4mm bit and was attempting to 45degree mitre 1/2inch material. I had to build my own fence to allow for the domino to land closer to the "short point" of the miter. It works fine but is not up to the specs of Festool's machining and/or adaptability standards. Thank you I hope this comes out soon.

Guide for their drills that I could use to drill holes at exactly 90 degrees.

Sort of like a mini drill press. I bought this one from Woodcraft, and it's pretty crappy despite costing upward of $50.

A guide with plunge rods similar to a plunge router could be attached by way of the coupling for the accessory chucks.

 

[AlexThePalex]

That's a very nice idea you two, Alan and Greg, have together. I could see use for that. Would be very good to be able to click it on the drill with the FastFix connection.

Thanks, Alex, but I need to cite Ned Young for the idea. He posed it, to me at least, about 5 or 6 years ago.
