What are you doing. The timer has a true edge, run it through your table saw then plane it smooth.You have a bloody workshop, the Festool is a site saw. It does its job well, it seems like you dont know how to use a workshop tools. And your work bench looks shite, how do cramp too it?

@adamthewellhead I buy band saw slabs that have bark on the sides, not a true edge and would be dangerous to run on a table saw. The track saw takes the place of a gang saw or straight line rip. The track saw is a cheap and fast way to edge one side of the board. I think you are talking bout my cut table, which is used primarily for breaking up 4x8 sheets with the track saw and the smaller peaces then go to the table saw

Why did you decide to go with the 75? It seems better suited to very thick material.

[DarlingtonFarm]

@ootsam Mostly for the ability to cut thicker goods. On occasion I cut thick 8/4 and 10/4 wood.

Thanks

@ootsam Because of just that I make a lot of slab furniture and being able to cut a 3 inch thick slab in one pass is nice

Thanks

How much did you pay for the ct 35 and the ts 75 ?

[DarlingtonFarm]

@TAKINCAREOFBUISNESS2 If you buy them as a combo they are about $1200. For sheet goods I would also get the 3000mm guide rail Think it runs 300-400.

@DarlingtonFarm I have been working for a friend all week and after using his 12,000 dollar sliding table saw, I understand what you mean by "cheap and fast way to edge..."  Also, while not as fast, the festool is about a million times safer.

great video, I just got one and love it! try the domino!

Nice video and setup. Obviously some people haven't tried jointing 14+ foot boards on a 6" Jointer or ripping 4x10 sheets of ply on the table saw by themselves. It's almost worth just getting this for those tasks alone.
