Hi fellas,

Based in South East England.  Seems GB has a good representation on the FOG boards.

Hi Mac,
From a fellow southerner,

Hi, just decided to stop lurking and join. Been a festool fan for a few years and recently started to expand the collection

Hello, from gert lush Bristol. James

Hi James, thanks for joining the GB CREW!  [thumbs up]

I'm about an hour up the M5 from you in Worcester, so not that far away.

 

[Mahomo59]

Cheers Garry.

 

[Wuffles]

Yes yes, depending on where you are in Bristol, I'm either an hour away, or 20 mins - traffic and all that.

Hello!

Hi all
Another lurker signing in for the GB crew ;D just bought my first ct and ts55. It's opened my eyes to what I have been missing out on. Ehl65 and of1010 is definitely on the cards in the very near future!

Hi - thought I'd say hello from sunny Devon - near Tavistock.

Woodworking has been a bit neglected for a while with a new business and young family, but enjoying getting back into it and also enjoying choosing my next Festool purchase!

I'm mainly hobby but got into Festool building furniture and fitting out my retail shop. Helped me justify the purchases - and also dust was a concern - especially once the shop fitted out.

[welcome]

Welcome Jak147 and festivus.

Most people seem to start with the track saw. It's like Festool's gateway drug...  [blink]

Heres a pretty Cool article I found

http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/editors-blog/table-saw-safety-why-the-british-think-were-crazy

I found it informative as I was having issues with timber binding when I was ripping it using the CMS/CS 50 fence. I had the fence set up the way we do in the states.

Anyway Im going to give  attaching the sliding fence that came with the CMS router module on the CS 50 fence a try.

The reason is I got the sliding fence off the CS 70 and its way long to do this safely

Now I realize that this fence system is set up for the euro way.

Duh huh?

Im posting this here b/c its more of a euro UK thing then a N/A thing

What? "While it’s easy to poke fun at the British for their quaint use of our language"  [scared] what are they teaching you guys in your history classes?

 

[Deansocial]

I see you read the utter drivel that followed too

 

[sancho57]

What?? [eek]

It just discusses some of the differences we have in table saw fences.

I had some issues that it answered and confirmed by festool Uk. Im guessing what got yas all riled up was this quote

>>While it’s easy to poke fun at the British for their quaint use of our language, their fondness for strange-flavored potato chips  and their inability to make a car that doesn’t leak oil, it’s hard to argue with their approach to table saw safety.

I have removed several offensive posts that do not conform to our forum guidelines. Please do not resort to personal attacks, name calling, quips about one's nationality, etc. Keep it on the up and up, please.

It would be a real bummer to have to lock down a 300 post thread.

Thank you. Carry on.

Humble apologies  [embarassed]
