Interesting Grinder/ Plane?

[semenza]

Hi,

    Hey, check this out--   160163604297   (Ebay, Not A Sales Pitch) .   Some kind of rotory surfacer or angle grinder, with side mounted DC. Festo. Anyone know exactly what this is?

Not got a clue, but you're right, it oes look interesting...

Whatever it is it's obviously new, or NAINAOTUK (not available in NA or the UK )

Nowadays it's made by Protool, not by Festool anymore. English description here.

"  NAINAOTUK"  ?  Now that is actually starting to sound like a language all on its own!

Hi,

    Very cool , wish I needed one 8)  Seems like that would be the tool that some of the FOG members need or needed instead of the ROTEX for fixing up concrete floors!
    BTW I was thinking that Protool was under the same company umbrella as Festool - is that right?

So how does this work anyhow?  The blades look like they rotate and would serate things and not at all leave a smooth surface much less take much off?  I'm confused as usual....

      It looks to me like that ring around the blades works sort of like a sanding frame on a belt sander. Controling the depth of cut. So I would guess that no serations would be left because ot will just keep removing until the high spots are all gone.

You're confusing me -- are you trying to stop being a teaser and join the victim ranks?

From what I could see it appears that Protool and Festool are both owned by Tool Technics. Is this correct. In addition a Timberwolf Tools out of Maine was listed as a USA Distributer. Anyone know anything about this? Fred

Yes
Protool + Festool = Festool

Hi,

      How about  Profestool, or Festoolpro?
