Seems like a lot of hassle and an awkward process just to make a few accurate cuts. I have about 8 Festool tools, and they're good, but this system strikes me as ridiculous.

[SanityRestorer]

@urbanecowboy99 You know that you don't have to calibrate it every time you use it, right?

[joodtje123]

what is the release date of the festool parallel guide for holland .

Couldn't find it on de dutch site of festool .

[adamwidmeyer]

"this doesn't guarantee square" the angle attachment for the guide rails didn't work either.

[dirtyal1234]

i have no idea why this primitive system cost hundreds of dollars

[tubestick00]

well perhaps you should work on some sort of effortless lazer guided automatic portable sheet cut jig.

this is the best humans can do right now

[tubestick00]

its about time america joined the rest of the world in metric measurement. its superior in so many ways. all multiples. all interchangable, volume measurements are relevant to and correlate with mass measurements. and so on and so fourth.

i mean, feet? gallons? inches?

you have to work out fraction equations? metric is all decimals. you dont have a quarter. you have 0.25

thats easier to do maths on than fractions.

[DrWurmPhD]

Although I agree with your random post, I must point out that Festool is German.

[tubestick00]

im well aware of that. they are on metric in germany too. and all of europe. infact about everywhere in the world is except stubborn old amaerica. which is why they are struggling to push through the healthcare reform and just today signed off the half assed comprimised version. because some americans always hate change.

[MrMeanderthal]

@tubestick00 divide 1 cm in three equal parts..

[tubestick00]

@MrMeanderthal is that your arguement? divide an inch ito three equal parts einstein..

[MrMeanderthal]

@tubestick00 that would be 3/12ths.. look on any common rafter square and you will find fractions 1/8ths and 1/16ths on one side and 1/10ths and 1/12ths on the other.. any other questions?

[MrMeanderthal]

@tubestick00 typo 4/12ths

[tubestick00]

@MrMeanderthal any other questions you ask?? what a smart ass.

can you not see that 4/12ths of an inch is as much splitting it into three parts as sayin 4/12ths of a centimetre? its 0.33333 reccuring of an inch. even when machining engine parts, you only need to work to thousanths of a millimetre.

your original statement implies the metric system is flawed because you cant divide 10 by 3 perfectly. this is ridiculous. you should watch some videos on the metric system.

[MrMeanderthal]

@tubestick00 watch some videos on the metric system? I'm Canadian, we've been on metric for 40+ years.. I'm also a builder and use measurements all day long..machining was usually done using decimal inches.. 1/100, 1/1000 etc.. over fractions before metric came along however most every other trades used fractions, and that is for a very good reason.. it''s more a flexible, better system over all.. BTW, the only people who argue metric is "better" are people who don't work with it.

[tubestick00]

@MrMeanderthal well i do work with it... i'm also a builder. so i also work with measurements all day. theres no real difference in the two for what we do. a system should not be decided on whats better for builders. the metric system is a logical and modern system that is far superior in a number of ways to the standard system.

why dont you tell me the weight of one cubic inch of water, and what fraction of a gallon that is.

its all perfectly easy with metric. whats that all abooot

[winnyverhulst]

this is new?

[CHRISTO60445]

New as an invention? No. The eurekazone repeaters are much better with more capacity and stability.

search for eurekazone and repeaters.

they even cost less.

Best parallel guide video I've seen. Thx
