Other Tools & Accessories / Re: Tight radius flush router tool
« Last post by Dusty.Tools on Yesterday at 10:43 PM »A multi-tool (like a Fein one, etc) will make easy and quick work of that. And if you use a thin metal strip for protection on the outside of the lip you can then let the blade sit flush with that to get a really straight and crisp edge.Oh yeah that makes sense, I have both of these in my workshop!
A little practice and you can get amazingly accurate and great results on very fiddly work with a multi-tool!

Ask Festool / Re: Does the North American AGC 18 ship with a 5” guard or a 4-1/2” guard?
« Last post by Cheese on Yesterday at 10:07 PM »Here's the Fein 63811017010 version that fits the Festool.

A search will come up with the other guard.
And here's the 20% discount code. JSCL0PWT20AB916K1 It ends May 28th. Zoro has a ton of other items that may be of interest. I recently ordered some Pferd files from them and they are brilliant.

« Last post by Dusty.Tools on Yesterday at 10:04 PM »Hi all,
I’m looking for a tool recommendation. I’ve installed these windows in my Expedition trucks. Once installed I need to trim the fiberglass so it’s flush with the inside.
I used a dewalt router to do the accessible parts but it’s not possible to do the corners and around the lock.
Any recommendation would be appreciated…
Cheers
Ben

« Last post by Dusty.Tools on Yesterday at 10:00 PM »Thank you [mention]Packard [/mention] this is exceptionally helpful! Takes the guessing out of this part of my project!
In terms of spacing. What would you do for a 30” deep cabinet? A Comfirmati 2” from either end and two dowels equal distant between them?
There’s a Powertec jig that looks promising that I just brought on Amazon. I got two and I will modify one of them to take a 3.5mm drill bit for a Snappy Tools Conformant drill bit.

Gets exciting quick if you slip across the center line...
I'd love a larger machine, even a second 12" for a different grit would be awesome. Just realized that, except for perhaps a couple routers, this is my oldest power tool.
Ya it does get exciting when traveling over the center line...you have a 1"-2" overtravel and then hold on. It gets worse the larger you go because of the moment arm.
I'd also like to have the space where I could have a pair of 12" discs and a pair of 4" x 48" belt sanders. I'd keep different grits on both machines and the process would be so much faster.

« Last post by Vtshopdog on Yesterday at 08:57 PM »Installed below set when we got a new heater about 4 years ago. Took less than hour, the central bolt to tighten straps made things really easy and just shimmed the back of tank to support against the wall. All in all a pretty quick project.

« Last post by rmhinden on Yesterday at 08:56 PM »I noticed from your pictures that the water and power lines were all designed to be flexible (not soldered), so I suspect that the water heater was meant to comply with earthquake requirements when it was installed. They probably forgot to add the straps.
