Peanuts, like for cabinet construction

[rmwarren]

Peter Millard has done several videos on Intelligent Fixing peanut system:

Our spring project is the master closet (after 10+ years) and there will be a lot of plywood boxes/panels. We have a few other places that we can use some additional storage cabinets & plan to buy extra material. It's a 2+ hour drive but there's a supplier in PA with good pricing on prefinished white birch, precut nominal 12/16/24" with 1 edge banded. For us this greatly simplifies cabinets, we can just cut to length & LR32 the snot out of the stuff. The peanuts replace dominos & screws.

Axminster shipped my order today, so I'll be able to test it out next week. I'm especially interested in making up some custom Jigs (as Peter demonstrates), but in my case using Shaper Origin, for each nominal panel width.

Seems to me that there are a ton of use cases, so I'm curious if anyone has any experience or advice?

Thanks,

RMW

We just got the set up in the shop this week, got the smaller jig, the cutter and couple boxes of the peanuts. Did a couple tests, seems like a good system. We haven't really used it yet for anything, got some ideas coming. I can tell you that the festool 30mm router collet for the 1400 worked with the portable jig.

Report back after we try it on a project.

I have seen the videos too, but that's all I know about them. It looks like an interesting system, but getting the pieces to the US might be an issue?
As of now, with the DF500 and a Zeta P-2, I have not come across a situation I couldn't cover. But I would never let that stand in the way of some new alternative with other capabilities.
Let us know how it works for you.
