For use together?  What are you going to use them for?  Sounds like a lot of wide boards to me.

Have fun.

No, the power feed is on the shaper. The stock PM tires are not that good. Needed the upgrade.

Long story on the jointer. Not worth the bytes to explain.

The W&H I bought used, the upgrades make it a better unit.

I finally purchased a bench. One of the first projects that I wanted to work on was a Benchcrafted Split Top Roubo workbench. I bought 2 hardware vise packages, the lumber, tools and equipment to build 2 benches but just haven’t got around to getting my equipment setup and start building one. I ordered the classic bench and hope to use it to build a split top and Shaker style bench in the future. I’ll update with pictures when I get the bench delivered and moved into my basement.

Nice Oliver...while at HD the other day, I noticed that Milwaukee, Hilti & Bosch are now also offering SDS bits with dust extraction holes. However they do command a premium price. [eek]  They're around 4-6X the price of regular 4-cutter bits.  Gundrilled holes don't come cheap.  [smile]
 
For me it's a live experiment. I want to see if I really can put in chemical anchors immediately after drilling the holes. Without blowing out residue. And I want to see how much residue (if any) will come out if I blow out the holes.

I honestly never understood why it was good practice to use a dust extractor while drilling and then blow out the residue without any form of dust extraction and just use a dust mask. (Or use no extraction and rely on a dust mask for both steps ...)

If it works as it should/ as it its marketed - the 10mm extraction drill bit is well worth the 25,- Euro I paid for it.

Kind regards,
Oliver
 
I bought a GRS from TSO Products. Its really the first after market accessory for festools that I have bought.

I must say I really do like it.

I just wish that there was a away to make exact repeatable cuts.

If you use it with parallel guides you can.  Festool’s won’t work because they occupy the same space as the GRS.  The Seneca ones will work and I presume the Woodpecker’s as well.  You could also make a “fence” that would mount to the GRS.  I believe I saw that TSO was coming out with said fence.

Do you know if that is metric or imperial?  Id need metric for the LR32. Do you know how long it is?

I know nothing...but I’ll bet Hans [member=59331]TSO Products[/member] may have some info.  [smile]
 
I'll answer (based on squinting at the pictures Hans posted).  :)  Metric and imperial are on the scale and it looks like it will handle 30-31" wide rips (or xcuts) with the rail pictured.
 
Thats pretty dog gone good. I was just thinking (which is the reason I came back here) that I wuldn really need an metric scale for theLr 32 as I use a metric tape measure (fast cap) that has marks every 32mm. So it wouldnt matter.

But the scale having both would/is a good thing

[member=10147]jobsworth[/member] - thanks for confirming that we made the right choice with Dual Dimensions on the new TSO TPG-30 Parallel Guide [smile]

PS: and thanks for honoring us with your first Non-FESTOOL accessory purchase - tip of the hat to you!
 
Today I picked up a Dewalt 735 thinknesser, CigWeld 185A welder and a Makita 1019 scms. It was an expense afternoon!
 
I received my Kumiko guide blocks
