clutzer said:I downloaded their SketchUp profiles for their extrusions and the ones with slot width of 0.32" or 8.14mm seem like they would be extremely tight with Festool clamps. Can you confirm some of these dimensions with your own experience?rst said:I tap with my M12 milwaukee all the time. What you need is considered a gun tap. Use slow speed and constant pressure and use WD40 or dedicated aluminum thread cutting fluid (available from machinist suppliers... Fastenal, MSC, etc). 8020 material is amazing stuff. Their 15 series works perfectly with Festools clamps.
Note: my Festool clamp dimensions are purposely proud by a tiny fraction of a millimeter.
Either 15 or 40 series work with the Festool clamps, no problem. They are actually kind of loose.
