G'day, Great video looks like a very nice system. My only problem is I wish that they were around in my day. They would have made my life a lot easier. But I'm retired now. Owe well I think I might stay inside today it's cold 🥶 outside 🤣.
I want to thank you for your amazing drywall videos as they were priceless in my kitchen remodel as I tore out a wall and had to replace some areas with drywall. I can honestly say it turned out great because of the knowledge that you shared. Your videos are entertaining and informational and I find myself addicted to watching your content and learning along the way. Thanks again!
Great job Ben! Love the "crossover" episode as I usually just watch your skate channel "Ben Degros" even though I originally came from this channel 😄💕👍
The sticky strips are odd being 1-time use and disposable. A new moneymaking idea from Festool. I like the screw holes but those will have limited use given the fact that usually I don't want holes in the wood I'm cutting.
I have 4 Festool tracks, and I never have a problem just placing the track on a surface and counting on the slip resistant strips on the bottom of the tracks. Just a little FYI. I use it that way constantly. I do a lot of hardwood floor repairs that require clean straight cuts that are in the middle of floors with nothing to clamp to. Also, their new vacs have built in bluetooth controls so your cordless tools can actuate the vac the same as the corded ones do, and if you have an older vac (That looks like an older model 36AC) they sell retro kits to add the blue tooth switch to the vac. Double also, the gauge for the depth setting on the saw measures depth both with and without the track. the portion that sticks out all the way across the gauge measures your depth without the track, the portion the sticks up above where it says "FS" measures your depth with the track. So once you have that depth dialed in (it's adjustable) you never have to measure it manually as you did.
I often find that on an extension cord the power drop off sucks from a 15amp circuit. I trim new homes as my bread and butter so I invested in a box that I got off amazon that plugs into a 30amp washer dryer outlet, which converts into (2) 20amp breakers. I find that with the 20amp line, I don't lose power over a long extension cord. I'll add link to it in Amazon
You need a panther blade for that TS55 for ripping, goes through twice as fast. The standard blades are good for sheet goods and crosscuts but will bog down when trying to rip. Nice job though 👍🏼
There is so much about that track saw that you don’t know and you are doing wrong. I don’t understand why Festool trusts you to be a advertiser for their company when you aren’t even using the products correctly. 🙄🙄
So happy I discovered your channels. The motivation I get from your content has helped me a lot. I got back into skating after years of addiction, depression, and just all around living an a**holes life. I'm now back in school to do some upgrading with the main goal of getting into welding, while also skating as much as possible. You're the man Ben!
Very nice. I like their tools, but the wife would never let me get a $1500 on one. Since I don't use it for a living, can't justify the cost. I'll stick to my old chunk of 2" angle, clamps and porter cable circular saw.
The depth gauge has two levels- one for with a one without the track. There’s a little knob that lets you calibrate the depth as well. Always worth checking manually though!

Thanks for all the info you have out out over the years!
You own a tennis court sized yard in Vancouver? What are you a billionaire?
Bro-Couver Carpenter!! That saw is nuts! Such OCD perfect cuts! #muskavibes
man of many talets, wonder could the tracks be permanently mounted to a table for straight cuts like a table saw
Ben not wearing a black t shirt just feels wrong lol!

I try to limit myself to only buying ten new tools per week. Guess that it will be eleven tools this week.

Nice setup! Love that you are showing us "older" guys still skate too!
