Right angle chuck - the perfect solution when you need it

[Administrator_JSVN]

Ok, so I posted this under the reviews section. Granted, I'm a 'little' biased.

My youngest son's dressER  [embarassed] has wooden drawer slides (yes, I it's poop) and one of them cracked allowing the drawer to sag when it was fully extended. So, I set about fixing it today and the first order of business was to remove the old slide. Since the drawer is only about 7-8" tall, it was a tight space and the right angle chuck came to the rescue. Popped it on and out came the old broken slide in seconds.

After some measurements, I grabbed some lumber and crafted a new slide. Only took 15 minutes. Screwed it back in place and it's just like new (until he breaks it again). While I was at it, I went ahead and made enough stock to replace three more if it's ever needed 'cause kids break things.  [wink]

A little dab o' touch up stain on the dresser face where it got scratched from the sagging drawer and it's good to go.

Anyway, this is one of those things that when you need one, you really need one. Luckily, I had one and it made the job a breeze. I'm so pampered by fine tools.  [big grin]

Wow, too funny. Just as important as needing the right tool for the job is adding the 'ER' to dresser.  [embarassed]

Shane, if that drawer were any narrower you may have had to resort to this:  [wink]

Aw man, that one hurt.  [crying]

They trust me with the drill, MFT and SysLite. But no drill bits, just driver bits.  [tongue]

I'm no master craftsman, but I can and do use the tools.

My CMS made routing those profiles for the slide real easy.  [poke] that was after I ripped the stock on my CS 70. Thankfully my Vac Sys made breaking the corners easy with the sander rather than trying to hold that thin material.

Hey, Chip, we really need to send you out to Vegas where you can get a proper training. That stuff Sedge is teaching you...  [blink]  [tongue]

And, in just messing around. I don't have all those goodies. I'm still waiting for them like you guys are.

I have a dedicated 90 drill for running wire and pipe when the studs show... and for just brute holes fine.

The Festool drill has the 90 on it 80 percent of the time. OH....so nice for get screws in to electrical boxes and tight spots.. etc...

That is the CXS right Shane?  

Cheers,
Steve

Works.  Not as easy to use as the right angle attachment for any of the Festool drills, but I recommend it.  Especially for really tight spots.

Shane, The right angle head has bailed me out a few times -- I don't need it often but when I do I REALLY do.

Shane, I think it wasn't Brian but another Indiana institution that inspired that brainstorm on a Friday night - 3 Floyds brewery.

I thought you used the ones at the office.
