Some things I learned while at Cabinet and Router class

You only need one of these new LR32 guide rail connectors to join two LR32 rails together.

After the rails are joined (and connected with 2 guide rail connectors) you then remove the LR32 guide rail connector.

So, the LR32 connector is used only to initially space the guide rails, after they are properly spaced/and connected using the standard guide rail connector, the LR32 connector is removed so you can start making holes...

Thanks.

Now, does anyone know if the new connector will fit into a previously mysterious slot in the LR32 systainer insert?  [cool]
 
The LR32 Guide Rail connector can be used the same way as the linear stop. Those are used to set the lower hole relative to the bottom (or top) of the side when drilling holes.

Introduced with the new Festool USA catalog is cat 496 938 "LR32 Guide Rail Connector" Those are a pair which work like the ordinary rail connector aligning the rails while ensuring the hole spacing is accurately 32mm on center.

I'm having trouble getting my head around this (a couple pictures on the site would help!):

LR32 guide rail connector

Does this go into the regular guide rail slots? The dimensions appear to be off, but that may be just the way the picture was taken.

Also, what are the registration "buttons" for? Are there additional holes on the LR32 guide rails for these to pop into for alignment?

Here is a link to a great picture, on how to use the connectors, from Vijay

Thanks Shane, make tons of since now. Seeing is believing. I assume the interface pad would also work on concave surfaces? hey you said that in the video title :)

Yes, of course you're limited by the flex of the interface pad and diameter of the pad versus the curvature of the surface.

Just orders one for both my Rotex 90 and 150. Thanks

I would like to see more information on your item number 10, the interface pad. Maybe a video.

Voila.

Thanks Shane. 

Folks, this is just one example of the many many tips, techniques, and tricks that I picked up from Brian and from my fellow attendees at this course.  If you can possibly get to one of these courses do so.

I'm planning on getting one for help in sanding guitar bodies (acoustic with edge bindings) since it will make cleanup up the concave areas
between the upper and lower bouts mucho easier.
