One for the Aussies...

[Stone Message]

I built our bed many years ago and have put 4 deep drawers on each side. There were no slides available and so they just run on wooden battens which are made of hard wood (beech in  my case) and were waxed when installed.

They work perfectly despite being packed with all sorts.

I just put the drawer on wheels.

Thanks for the ideas!

Those drawers are going to be pretty large (990 wide x 900 deep x 200 high) and won't be on the ground.

In the attached picture you can see the 2 carcasses under the bed, each holding 2 drawers.

Well the Airstream 6.2Ah batteries are available on the rest of the planet ... but here we go again with Tooltechnic supply retardedness!!!

Anyone want to place a bet on when we'll see the 6.2Ah's on the shelves locally? .. I'm going to go with November [mad]

Which year though?

I've got a UK trip coming up soon, might pay me to bring a couple back with me, I take it that you can charge them up with the older style charger, but how long will they take to charge fully charge, anyone hazard a guess?

Careful on a plane - hit and miss with significant batteries through security .. but yes, the standard charger will just be slower than the airstream charger.

I'm guessing the guts is pretty much the same as the Metabo batteries (that were available here yonks ago).

Good point [member=13058]Kev[/member] I'll check with the airline beforehand. I was thinking a couple of 6.2 airstream batteries for the TSC would be perfect.

Why does one get multiple customer satisfaction surveys when multiple items are purchased within one transaction? I gave my dealer 9/10 by the way.

Does this happen elsewhere in other Festool markets?  [member=57769]TylerC[/member]  [member=41214]Phil Beckley[/member] I suspect it might because the emails have Festool Aus as CC, implying the sender is Festool HQ.

This isn't something happening in NA. I can't really speak to what goes on in Australia.

Thanks [member=57769]TylerC[/member]

I have followed this up with Festool Aus via FB and Messanger. Apparently my dealer registered my recent purchases separately, rather than collectively which is an option on the Australian Festool Reg. Web Page. Aus Foggers may wish to follow up this with their dealer if making multiple purchases within one transaction.

Australian political satire has lost one of it's Masters. Thursday nights at 6.50pm on ABC will be rather empty now.

Just spent half the day sanding a Camphor Laurel bench I have laminated up. Wishing I had purchased the 5mm orbit ETS while it was on special, the 3mm is going to take forever  [big grin]

Happy Easter.

What grit and paper are you using?

Hi Peter.

I am using 80 grit Granat at this stage of the game. I think it is the ETS150/3 slowing me up here  [big grin]

 

[Stone Message]

I use 80 grit granat with the 150/3 and it does shift at a reasonable rate but not as much as a 150/5.

Good luck.

Peter

Thanks Peter.

Hope you are having a great Easter.

New Festool Australia promotional flyer is out and I can only assume times must be tough at Festool Aus HQ.
http://www.festool.com.au/WebRoot/S...593_Festool_Apr-Jun17_Campaign_WEB_spread.pdf

I'll save you a click though, the only things on offer are free Sys 1 Box ($130) with any new "featured" tool purchase, and a discount on a couple of the Quadrill electric drills.

I seriously don't know why they bother....

Well there is the Fan clothing!  [eek]

 

[Mike B]

...which I'm less and less inclined to want to wear!

Honestly, their promotions always seem to be about new Festool users. Never anything that might be of use to those that already own some or most of the Festool primary range.

Discounts on accessories and consumables can't be that hard can it?
