The complete LR32 kit comes with the following:
* Guide plate
* Centering mandrel
* Wrench
* Hinge location cutter HM dia. 1-3/8" (35 mm)
* 2 5mm bits - I don't understand the difference between the two - why one is listed as 7/32" and the other as 3/16".
* 2 parallel edge stops
* 2 Screw Clamp, 4-11/16"
* 2 longitudinal stops
* Sys1 Systainer
But it looks to me like a complete set for blind shelf pin holes is this:
* Guide plate
* Centering mandrel
* Wrench
* 5mm brad point bit (not sure which of the two in the kit is this bit).
* 2 parallel edge stops
* 2 Screw Clamp, 4-11/16"
* 2 Longitudinal stops
And then, it looks like the "2 parallel side fences with adjustable stop" aren't needed if you have parallel guides. The wrench - a convenience. And I already have several sets of clamps. So for me, it looks like a usable set would include:
* Guide plate & Centering mandrel ($140)
* 5mm brad point bit for blind holes ($36)
* Longitudinal stop ($32)
I already have 2 55" "holey" rails, so that is not an issue
The total for that is comparable to the cost of high-end, drill-based systems. I'm leaning toward the Festool system because it is router based, which seems more reliably repeatable to me.
Am I missing anything?
