project the Porter cube SPR is the perfect complement to your miter saw or other tabletop tools compact in size it expands to a portable workstation and makes miter saw use and storage in your crowded workshop more efficient different tools make different chips or sawdust routers and planers make larger shavings and although they may be easier to clean up than the finer dust of saws of Sanders those larger chips spread debris over a larger area in a very short time with the sander the size of the dust particle coming off it about the same size as the grid on the sandpit so the finer the paper the finer the dust to find that the dust the more it contaminates the area in ways that are both seen and unseen what is seen is sanding swarf left on the surface which has to be removed before any finish can take place what is unseen are the smaller particles that hang in the air for hours or even days in the workshop this means these particles later descend unfinished surfaces on a jobsite like someone's home that dust gets into and onto every surface it gets into appliances and electronics it gets into the HVAC system and it gets into their lungs while they sleep no one likes to live through a remodeling job because of the mess and the disturbance the nuisance of dust is one disturbance that can be greatly minimized through proper dust extraction in the shop or a home dust control can't be an afterthought not if you want to save yourself the time cost and mess of dealing with it later dust control is an integral part of the Festool system and design philosophy by collecting the dust as it's made where's me for us as painters the Festool system has three components the Sanders the abrasives and the extractors the dust extractor is the heart and soul of the system we don't have to put up boundaries within a workspace anymore because we are able to work that clean nine times out of 10 we will get compliments about how clean the job was this tool offers a full line of dust extractors optimized for the way you work the CT mini and CT mini are fest tools most portable dust extractors the CT 26 CT 36 and CT 48 our Festool is most capable and versatile mobile dust extractors all of these units feature HEPA filters and carry full unit have the certification good dust extraction starts at the tool and ends with clean air being returned to the room for Festool dust extraction is the primary consideration of the tools design whether it is our jet stream and multi jet stream pad designs for our Sanders are the efficient internal shrouding and channeling that makes our tools able to capture the dust as it happens just tool dust extractors have many features one features the tool triggered auto start capability whenever the tool is cycled on the vacuum attached to it powers up automatically as well likewise when the tool is cycled off the vacuum also cycles off another quality to consider includes variable suction force the ability to control airflow as it's needed this is particularly critical for sanding operation the hose connection is designed to mate with all the different port types on all our power tools this detail means you have secure connections and don't need to waste time with makeshift solutions the Cystic feature turns the CT into a mobile transportation you can easily stacked the cure and move an entire set of tools at one time which gets you into and out of a job site faster and the shop that contributes to workplace organization which enhances efficiency by keeping the tools where you work unlike traditional canister style vacuums the CT dust extractors feature a flat filter and containment area flat design enables greater capacity by keeping the filter out of a containment area when used in conjunction with Festool self-cleaning filter bags the flat design allows the filter bag to function in a way that helps prevent clogging of the bag for greater airflow to ensure maximum suction performance a sealing gasket on the head unit creates a tight seal which prevents leakage or loss of suction the parking brake can be easily engaged in unlocked with the foot and provides a stable platform whenever needed cleaning sets further expand the dust extractor platform by providing several options including large diameter hoses for increased air flow nozzles crevice tools tubes and floor sweeps there are many other accessories that can amplify the function of the CT dust extractors the boom on keeps the hose off the material and out of the way ensuring that the surface is protected while dust is being extracted the work center keeps all the tools and other things you need at the place of work which reduces time loss searching for tools and that provides more time to get the work done the dust extractors are phenomenal our first tool is the Domino and that's actually hogging out a giant hole we thought surely we ran out to blow out all the mortises or dump a mile before we go and it's completely clean the mortise is totally done ready for good incredible because that dust extraction is always pulling it up you don't run the risk of having little granules make marks in your lumber or a chunk of sawdust putting a streak in it - so amazing I was introduced to the festival line at the end of 2012 since then I would use no other tools I've gotten rid of all of my other dust extraction systems I've got rid of all of my other sanding equipment I'm confident that I'm going to get the results that I want in the shop or a home dust control can't be an afterthought not if you want to save yourself the time costs and mess of dealing with it later Festool offers a wide range of dust extraction solutions to minimize cleanup improve finish results and work more efficiently

binding to create safer and virtually burnfree cuts the adjustable spacer adds one inch of additional gripping surface to tackle larger material and wider cuts they both work remarkably well on the router table the gripper holds the workpiece tight against the router bit while the stabilizing plate keeps you grounded and moving smoothly across the table perfect for free routing the adjustable spacer is reversible and rises up to give you extra clearance to pass over the router bit when doing full profile work like bullnose Rohtak this takes care of any uneven deep cuts on the back end of

your fence you can build more projects in less times with less waste and much safer whether you're making something for a magical moment or building something to last a lifetime work safer work smarter the drawer slide jig from Craig makes it easier than you've ever imagined to build projects with drawers which means you can create projects you might have only dreamed of before that's because the drawer slide jig takes the guesswork and uncertainty out of installing drawer slides and makes it easier for anyone to install drawers that fit right and glides smoothly every time the drawer slide jig does this by securely supporting the slide in the exact position needed as you install them in the cabinet plus the jig supports the drawer boxes as well to ensure that the slides get installed on them with perfect alignment - whether you're installing drawers in a cabinet with face frames or in a cabinet or piece of furniture without frames the versatile drawer slide jig clamps in

align the tabs with a face frame and then clamp the bracket in place this positions the bracket exactly where you needed to place the jig at the right height and does it without measuring ensuring foolproof level positioning of the slide on frameless cabinets in cases the process is still simple the brackets register against the front edge of the cabinet and clamp in place at the layout line sitting straight and level every time once clamped in place the jigs blanket support the drawer slide completely providing that third hand you've always needed to hold the slides in place no matter how big or heavy the slide the drawer slide jig holds it in straight and level so you have both hands-free to drive in the screws and the drawer slide jig doesn't stop there after all the job isn't complete until the drawer box itself is aligned and installed that's why the jigs brackets are reversible so they can be mounted to protrude out of the cabinet and hold that drawer box in the exact right position that allows you to set the drawer box on the brackets and then pull the slides into position the sturdy brackets hold everything in place as you drive in the mounting screws with the
