Makita track saws I hv both corded and non corded track are interchangeable w/green ones and hv “ALL” the same features! I am a production Trim Carpenter so I pound my tools into the ground! I found once out of the shop the Festool just seems to break 1st! Miter saw? Makita or Dewalt DW780 those are dead nuts accurate out of the box and last! I build a ton of cabinets like built ins , sink boxes, extensions , ect.,. I do believe TSO has great track squares I just really don’t fool with them! To each his own I know you build a lot of cabinets also however once you’re moving from job to job ; loading and unloading it gets to where your tools hv to withstand day to day banging around! I also heard the motors on the miter saws (Festool) burn out quicker than any of the top brands? Ask Spencer Lewis ; Inside Carpentry? Just my opinion?
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans ru-vid.comUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
It really makes you wonder how all this stuff is afforded. Did you notice the Shaper Origin in the box in the background? Another chunk of dough. Festool probably gives him the tools or finances at a very reasonable rate as a sponsor. Throw in a small business loan with payments amortized over 10 years, supplemented by an Army retirement income and any additional income from online sources and business income. Maybe that's how it's done?
You covered a lot of tools in a short amount of time. Great suggestions. There are some that I have and I totally agree with you on. Especially the TSO products. Thank you for the recommendation. I am loving mine.
I have to wonder how that Grabo works with any porous sheet goods, especially lower grades of plywood. Given that the surface of the sheet is not airtight, I would expect air to compromise the vacuum eventually. I'd guess that the suction can even cause delamination. Not to mention it costs a ridiculous $200 vs. $15 for a simple sheet lifter.
I have to agree with you on the conturo becoming one of my favorite tools also. Paired with the MFK 700 router, it has saved me countless hours of time edge banding with perfect results effortlessly. Great video Jason.
Hey you guys when you get your new track saws and get rid of your old table saw, let me know . I am always in the market for used tools. 50 yrs of woodworking, never used a track saw and never needed one.
Great video, I compliment you on your tips and tricks. Funny that most of the tool options start with “now this is fairly expensive” but understandable since they perform great.
Nice suggestions, especially for the home shop. A number of these can be skipped if you do higher volumes of cabinets and invest in a CNC to cut carcasses and fronts. This is sort of a must if you're doing a few kitchens every week (and can easily handle 5+ kitchens per day)
The only thing I wished that Festool would make is an adapter plate for the Festool 2200 router so I could use the LR 32 track. I bought this machine because the 1400 router was not available and there was no answer as to when they would be available to buy. I hate having to think that I now have to invest in another Festool router namely the 1010 that will only really be used for that job.
I have all 3 and for narrow tips, the 20” is the least awkward. I think 20” is a good all around one as you can fit it into a systainer and they’re quite small - 12” approximately. I think unless you’re going over 30” often, you won’t need the 50”. You could say with the 20” and 50”, a 30 might be redundant. Or do what I did and get all 3
Great stuff as always! As a video pro (and a woodworking hobbyist) I’ll politely offer that your videos seem to be consistently underexposed. I’d add about +1 stop of exposure compensation to brighten things up!
@@bentswoodworking im just trying to justify my dual set purchase i made the other day. Though in my case, ill be hanging 5/8" drywall on the new shop walls and ceilings!
This is a great list. Agree with almost all of these, even for hobbyists. The Conturo, of course, is the big whopper, but if you are a pro doing a lot of cabinet work it is no doubt worth the cost, especially if you can take the depreciation.
Must be nice to be rich with youtube money. Even major cabinet shops don't have some of the tools or luxuries of these items. I feel like this video had some great items but then some very expensive priced tools.
The guy probably isn't rich. He's been an Army grunt for 20 years, so he knows how to get along with 'superiors' (sponsors) that can help him, and he can follow 'orders' (suggestions) from them. Since he's relatively young, he has an Army retirement income for many years (a base income level) and then he could get a small business loan at a (formerly) low interest rate to finance tools while he builds his in person and online businesses. His Army retirement is in perpetuity, so he doesn't have to worry about that running out like the rest of us with 401k's and the banks have something to draw on as collateral.
Too bad we all weren't RU-vidrs who get sponsors to pay for their expensive tools. Unfortunately, most woodworkers need help to afford Jason Bent's tools. Seemed to be an infomercial to cover all sponsorships in one video? Sorry, this tool list seems unrealistic for most ...
