Festool Junkie Blog

These are short and sweet little videos showing three Festool Tools. We left the audio out so you can here the difference in speed in the TS 75 EQ. There will be more to follow so if you want to share some ideas, or want to see specific tools at work just et us know.

This first video we use the MFT 1080 to cut through some 8/4 stock. This shows the plunge and the riving knife coming through behind the blade.

I left a few grits out in this video demonstration of the Festool RO 125 so that i didn’t bore the heck out off you. I can do this demo in five minutes or less! I used a rough cut piece of 8/4 Walnut and went from rough to polished. If you look at the end of the video you can actually see the reflection in the wood. Note…. there is no finish on this Walnut. This proves the Rotex is an all around sander weather it be for removing coarse material, fine sanding or polishing in between coats of finish. Festool makes a paper for every type of application!

Here is a quick demo of the C-12 Drill made by Festool. I drive a 14? screw into the length of a treated 2 x 4. The torque is stronger than any other drill I have ever used in my life. The power is unbelievable. Don’t forget this drill has a quick chuck release that allows you to use a depth stop chuck, eccentric chuck, right angle chuck, centrotec chuck and of course your old school chuck. If you will be using the Centrotec chuck often you may want to consider the Centrotec Assortment Systainer. Thanks to www.festooljunkie.com for letting me use the tools for the demonstration!
