Re: FB600 Problem
#Bandsaw
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSorry just noted you had pics. I had condensation in the box of my bandsaw as well, are you sure it is oil. Anyhow, the one that is bad is the gray one. Blue one may be okay but it is best to replace both. Imran? On Apr 9, 2021, at 11:45 AM, Sal Cangialosi <cangialosis@...> wrote:

Re: FB600 Problem

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI bought mine from mouser electronics. Under $26 total. As for removing the cap, it probably is not holding any charge but to be safe, following is what I would do. With insulated handle cutter/dike cut one wire of the cap at a time insuring that the dike does not touch anything else and you yourself stay isolated. Also, when cutting the wire make sure that the cut wire on the cap side does not flail around and hit something grounded. ?Sounds like disarming a bomb. We were taught to always discharge the cap but that requires a resistor. Not sure you have one handy. So proceed on your own risk but what I suggested above I would personally have no issue following. Imran On Apr 9, 2021, at 11:45 AM, Sal Cangialosi <cangialosis@...> wrote:

Re: Festool Vecturo $472
I bought a discontinued Fein model on sale about 8 years ago to remodel a bathroom. I probably used it for a total of ten minutes to trim out door molding. It sat in its storage bag for about the next seven years. Last January, before Covid hit I started to clean up an old 2000+ sq. ft. storage structure. They had used concrete block for the walls, but used salvaged lumber during WWII to build the ceiling and roof. The fiberboard ceiling was falling in where the roof had leaked, and a lot of structural lumber had to be replaced, I had a vultures nest in the attic along with all sorts of other vermin, rats and snakes among them. Someone had replaced the roof prior to my acquiring the property, thank goodness. But they left the mess inside. I put wire mesh over all the eave openings (over 150) to keep the critters at bay. We cleaned out the mess and I had a decent storage facility, except for the dust and pollen that came thru the openings.
I decided to use the cheapest 3/8¡± plywood for the ceiling. The ceiling joists were 15¡±-18¡± OC, and rarely consistent. Nothing was square, level, or plumb. The ceiling varied by as much as 3¡± in height joist to joist, and 2¡± in OC widths. I had to cut every sheet to exact length and a perfect angle to get even decent fits at every joist. It took forever. Then I thought about trying the Fein. Instant game changer. It went from a hit or miss 50-60 minutes per sheet where we often had to cut a second sheet, to 15-20 minutes with dead nuts, tight fits at every joist. Get one sheet screwed in place except for the last joist, slide the next sheet in, anchor it with a couple of screws, trim the first sheet in place, finish with screws, then repeat. If a sheet was in a bind at the side, I¡¯d just run the Fein down the seam to even it out, and screw it tight. It was a pretty big deal on a 75 sheet project as I was paying my helper $15 an hour. I probably went thru 10 blades, but it still was well worth the cost even if I never touch the thing again. And honestly, I hope I never have to. But if I¡¯m dumb enough to tackle that kind of project again I¡¯ll deserve it. Johnny |

Re: Festool Vecturo $472
I've had the original Fein multitool since the mid 80's, have used it extensively in remodeling and repair work and it's still soldiering on. I paid more back then than their later too-less blade change models now sell for. Originally purchased for sanding installed balusters on a large project, but cutting where no other tool will work with precision is where it shines. Should it ever go belly-up, I'd not hesitate to buy another Fein. That same year I also purchased a Festo (Festool brand was introduced as their consumer division in 2000) track saw for over $600, plus several hundred more for various length tracks and clamps...,yikes, but very clever design and well worth the investment by saving time cutting sheet goods. I have several other Festo, oops, Festool tools and they're fine for "normal" use. Because I needed a jigsaw NOW on a project and the Bosche JS572EBK was out of stock locally, I bought the top Festool jigsaw four years ago. I'm sure it works well for most uses, but for cutting radius wall sills and plates through 2x and 3x material it sucks. Where cutting continuously in thick material the guides quickly heat the blades, bending them forward, making square cuts impossible, as shown in attachment. The dual rollers on the Bosche eliminate this issue. I'll still buy Festool where it's the best tool, but the Vecturo, especially at the price? Even in the Festool forum threads I've seen, most members choose the Fein. What am I missing?

Re: Twisted fence on AD 941

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNo, this if the bar is tilted your fence will appear to have a twist in it. I initially tried to shim like you were planning but it did nothing, wasn¡¯t until I realized the bar was at an angle that that was the adjustment. This may or may not be your issue1. Measure each side of the bar to see if it is at an angle. 2. (Or do this first) Take the fence extrusion completely off and lay it on something flat like your slider to see if it lays flat.? That will give you a little more info.? In the end my bar is not completely level with the top but the fence is almost perfect and it slides well Regards, Mark On Apr 9, 2021, at 11:05 AM, Yaron Pardo <yaronpardo@...> wrote:

#Checking_Vario4_PF_Oil
#checking_vario4_pf_oil
Manual says to check oil and confirm it is no more than 4cm below plug. Here is the plug - red arrow
I figured I need to turn it upside down to check as it is only 1cm above bottom. So I got it turned like this Well you cannot see anything other than a sprocket (I think) facing you. Then I thought maybe this is what they mean Ding ding ding. Sides of the wheels (not installed) are pointing straight up. Got it level and checked. Well I could not see any oil. Took a sliver of wood and it was full to near top. I could not see it because it was pretty much clear. This is 20 yrs old, so I guess I will check in another 20 or more likely never; I am 61.

I'm a big fan of festool Sanders vacuums and Dominos.? ?There are certain tools that seem to offer little improvement over the standard.? ?
