Free Tools - really!

[Rob Lee]

And it’s specific to Festool track saws (or tracks)!  Hmmmm.  Looking forward to the intro.

Well.... in this forum it's specific to track saws.... in other forums (I did 4) it was track and circular....

I could have added various hand and power tools though.

It IS best for saws though....

Cheers -

Rob

(parcels will ship Monday!)

Such a tease. I guess I will know next week when mine arrives.

Since no one wants a metric tool, Rob is trying his best to give them away.

[big grin]  I'll take a metric HKC...matches my metric TSC 55 & TS 55.  [big grin]

All this time, I thought Mr Rob Lee was just having fun with us.................until I saw this little gem inside the 1986 Lee valley catalog from Leonard Lee.  Obviously over 30 years of taunting us  [big grin]

So far all saws pictured seem to be in pristine condition.  [big grin] [poke]
Come on! Show few scars, throw some dust around!

Just saw this thread for the first time, exactly my thoughts Svar.
I take good care of my machines but this is insane, most of them look brand new!

Some take better care of what they own than others do. [big grin]
This is a picture of my 17 year old pickup. The paint is all original.

 

[NL-mikkla]

For it's age it looks pretty well cared that's for sure!
Any word on the mistery give away?

 

[GoingMyWay]

I just got the notification from UPS that it's going to be delivered tomorrow.

I presume it's safe for any of us to share what the tool is when it arrives?

 

[Peter_C]

I got the notification that a label has been created for second day air! 1.5lbs shipping weight.

"Oh what could it possibly be?"

 

[Wooden Skye]

I know what it is but I won't spoil for you guys that received.

 

[DynaGlide]

Well it's actually pretty sweet. Also won't spoil it until everyone gets theirs.

Okay! but but tell us, do you want more?

 

[DynaGlide]

I could see a guy having two sets for different locations!

 

[DynaGlide]

Well I saw it posted to their website so no use hiding it:

Now I tossed in that "more" comment for the bench saddles....

Work great in an MFT as stand-offs - for routing, carvex, finishing, clamping.... all sorts of uses.

I am continually finding new way to use them!

But first and foremost - the platform is great for track saws!

Cheers -

Rob

 

[ChuckM]

Two sets ordered -- for use in one single location.

Purpose? Benchtop assembly.

 

[Michael Kellough]

@ Rob Lee. I Like it!

Another suggestion, I’d like to have something like a chest lid support (but without the middle joint) that fits a dog hole and could clip or be clamped to an upright work piece to add in assembly.

A dog with a simple pivot joint,
An arm about a foot or so long,
And another pivoting clip attached to the end with a saddle or plate

 

[Rob Lee]

Got it -

Even better - a length adjustable arm....one of those twist to lock things.

A third hand!

[big grin]

What's this? A 4x8 ripping table clamped to two MFTs?  [cool] If one were so inclined they could remove the MFT/3 bits and center it over the tables. Realistically what I'll probably do should the need arise is put the new ripping table on top of that MFTSlab pictured and place it in the middle of the room and clamp the two long support pieces down.

Do you ever drive it. It looks great.
