Introduction: Pier 9 Workshop - Introduction to Festool Products
Here at the Pier we have a few Festool products. Why? Because they are cool. But the downside is they are expensive tools, so we want users to know the proper way to use them.
This Instructable links you to videos that will show what the tools are capable of and some basic instructions, so when you come ask Shop Staff for help you have an idea of how the tool works.
Tools:
Domino XL
Plunge Saw
Router
We also have a Kapex Sliding Compound Miter Saw but you must take the Basic Wood class to learn how to use it.
Step 1: Festool Domino XL
The Festool video isn't so much of a tutorial but a how to set up. This is good to watch so you know where and what all the switches are.
The below video is an in depth tutorial on how to set-up the tool and use it. I like it because the guy is easy to understand and goes over a lot of information.
