First-Time Use Of A TS55 Today

[mdog114]

I just recently bought a sander and a router, and I'm very pleased with the product.

The other day, I tried using the 1010 I just bought for a rabbit job but it didn't come the edge guide, and I needed one. My dealer didn't have one in stock, so he let me demo a 1400 with the guide so I could get my job done. The 1400 is very nice and it worked great!

Today, when I brought it back, he offered to give me a TS55 to try-out.  So I took it with me!

I needed to finish a Hay Door to replace a window above a garage. I had already made the frame, but I needed to do a T&G 1x6" bead-board door.  I cut the pieces a little long and used the rail/saw for the final fit. It worked perfectly!

I got the go-ahead on a job earlier this week and with it's approval I had intended to pick-up some new gear.  The sander/router/LR32 is all I need right now but towards the end of February I'll need the saw. It seems to work just as expected, and it's really smooth!
