Default interesting comment Festool circular saw

"Ken McIsaac" wrote in message

I think I would focus on making the first one square, and the second
one close-but-slightly-larger. The template-following router bit is
my new best friend.


That's one way ... but a cabinet around here would be finished by the time
you got around to cutting out the end panels.

Of course, if I had a table saw with infeed and outfeed tables large
enough to stabilize a 4x8 sheet, there would be no where to stand in
my shop, so I am perhaps biased.


Don't feel bad, I can't cut a full sheet of plywood in my shop either, but
that hasn't stopped me, so far, from building _lots_ of cabinets ...
although I am getting a bit tired of barking my shins on, and tripping over,
cutoffs.

I think the Festool is a superbly fine tool ... I just simply don't need the
one-off precision in most of my woodworking endeavors, so it would never
replace a table saw for cutting plywood for me.
