LR 32-SYS secrets explained!

Mirco,
In looking at your pictures one and two I have some questions.
You are not mounting the Festool supplied stops in the manner recommended or shown by Festool (not a complaint by the way), correct? You have them mounted in the last hole to gain an extra 32 or 64 mm of length capacity, correct?
Do you gain 16 or 32 mm doing it this way?
Done this way, it would only work for the sides, or gables as the first hole would be 32mm from the edge. A hinge side would need 16, or do I have those reversed?
Getting ready to build one this weekend, and just trying to Clarify a few items.

sroxberg,
I have the stops mounted to maximize the overall length of the jig, and the first hole for the base plate will drill @ 80 mm, this puts the base plate on 96 mm centers for the door drilling. I don't use the jig for drilling the doors, its to easy to use a dedicated drill press.
The two pins that stop the rail and position it are needed with my setup, reason being when the stops on the end of the rail are mounted in the furthest position, the locating pin is not used, so the stops will rotate a little if bumped. These stops only prevent end to end movement, so this is NOT a problem, providing you are using the rear locating pins to set the front to back dimension.
Hope this helps.

So, I just now started reading about the 32mm system. I went to fancy furniture building school, everything was in inches, and cut by hand using chisels and hand saws... this 32mm thing is all brand new to me. Yep, I'm that guy.
So, the stupid question is, where's a good place to learn more about this system? I'm more intrigued as the night goes on...

I've got the Festool Addiction so, I'm just updating this post with more festools. The below youtube video blends Mirko's "LR 32-SYS Secrets Explained" with the Parallel Guides.
I can't wait to get my kitchen started.

The pics will not expand. Is there a secret?
