VS 600 jointing system

[leonelqh]

Can't seem to find this system in the Festool USA website , is this still available?

 

[TOOLTOWN]

The system itself has been unavailable for some time in the US.  Occasionally there will be a used one for sale here, or during a recon sale.

All the associated accessories are still available.

There is one in the classifieds on this site, been there for a while so it's down on the list. It doesn't say it's been sold, so it's worth a email or PM

Are there any alternatives to this set up?

The Leigh dovetail jig, which allows for more flexibility than the VS600 system,

Hey Ed do you own the Leigh?

I have been looking at DT jigs recently. I might be coming back to the states next year so Im looking at getting some NAINA tools.

Ive been considering buying the VS 600 before I return to the states. It seems fairly easy to set up and use.

Ive also noticed the Leigh is very popular.
I have read the Leigh is a pain to set up but once its set up its nice to work with once it is set.

My main uses would Box Joints in 3/4 material and the hand cut DT "look" through and 1/2 blind.

Is it really that difficult to set up or can a Nimrod like me set it up w/o getting frustrated.

Don't forget about the incra LS system.  It is like learning another language but worth it once you do. Service and technical help is really good. But it is like learning another language.
