Ok...it may be because I'm distracted by the RYDER CUP just starting on the final singles matches now on tv..(just a 10min drive away from me
but I've got a problem and need clarification.
On Friday took another big gulp and purchased new Vecturo set and new UG stand for kapex.
Vecturo looks and performs great especially the plunge attachment etc but I've got a problem with the stand.
My kapex was on a dewalt stand and legs so didn't get round to assembling it on UG until this morning. All went well getting it mounted and I was sorting out how to put it up and down to suit me etc.
The problem I've got is when I went to calibrate the onboard measure etc. when I pulled out the extension legs (the bits that slide out from approx 1600-2400) mine would appear to be round the wrong way. Standing at the kapex my left hand extension tape goes out to approx 1600 but when I pull out the extension it's shows 1600 at the very end and 2400 against the end of the first support??
The right hand extension is exactly the same but opposite hand.
Surely Festool haven't built up the stand in the factory, got through the inspection process etc with the wrong extension slide in the wrong side.
I think it's an easy enough job to swap over (end caps off etc) but wondered if I'm not missing something because im distracted with the Ryder cup?
Sorry no photos as first tee shots are away.
Come on Europe....ole, ole, ole, ole.....
Thanks
