You won't believe how easy it is to make a cabinet!

In this video, Ron showcases the new TSO Dewalt cordless router base plate that enables the use of the Dewalt cordless router with the Festool LR32 system. The Festool LR32 is a highly precise drilling system that is known for its accuracy and efficiency. With the addition of the TSO Dewalt cordless router base plate, you can now use the cordless Dewalt router with the LR32 system, allowing for even more versatility and convenience in your woodworking projects. Bonous dados, groves, and rabbets in addition to 32mm system holes.

Thanks for showing how you can use a 1/4 inch cordless router to do this work. I purchased some Festool tools, such as a vacuum, saw, and sander, some TSO gadgets for the track saw, and a Sawstop table saw with the Dado to make new cabinets for my house. I opted for the Makita xtr01z router in my new woodworking shop over additional Festool routers. Now, to get some work done!
I chose the Makita for its versatility. With a special offer at a local hardware store, I got the router, two 5Ah batteries, a storage bag (I wonder how good it is; it appears to be like a large grocery bag), and a charger for $200. Adding a plunge adapter for $90 and a couple of dust ports for $50 saved me $1000 compared to buying two Festool routers.
This Makita router is perfect for edge trimming and shelf pin holes. It seems those Dewalts are serving you as well.

Thanks for showing your whole process. I had SUSPECTED you were building without a table saw, and that's a big hurdle for me (I can't fit one in my work vehicle).
It was nice to see exactly what you were doing to build the cabinet, even though I admittedly am not yet in the market for a 220 guide rail plus a 40 dollar kit, plus a 600 dollar kit, to drill cabinet holes. Maybe one day, but at present, it's just too much money for something my job could use, but certainly does not require.

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

There is always more than one way to get a job done!

[@michaelsnelling2918]

Also would be a great addition to the Makita 18V cordless which has a big following here in the UK

[@pintastic5876]

What’s up with these custom jigs screwed to your holly rail? Those look great!

[@johnp1839]

Considering the Dewalt cordless router. Do you find yourself using the plunge base more than the fixed? Which tool balances better with ergonomics the cordless plunge base or fixed base? Great video👍

[@RoyatAvalonFarms]

For the case near the end of the video or the bit possibly running into your jig arm, would it work to slip in a spacer piece between your work piece and jig arm so your bit cuts into the sacrificial spacer? I'm not 100% sure if that was the issue you were describing or not.

[@ecmo2007]

Ron can you please tell me who makes those blue guide rail holdfasts you are using? Pictured at 00:39. Thank you.

OMG, this is fantastic. If only HGTV could provide this kind of information.

[@mgoblueguy]

Do you think they’ll come out with the Milwaukee version??

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

The decision to approve a new product depends on the level of demand. A proficient company considers factors such as R&D, prototyping, packaging, and advertising expenses, and assesses the potential customer base before giving the green light for a new product. Dewalt appears to be a straightforward selection as it holds a substantial share of the construction market, although no comment is being made regarding the brand's quality.

[@bdm1000]

Ron, in addition to the 8mm collet, the TSO website for the "LR 32 Guide Plate Adapter Kit for Dewalt Compact Routers" states that I need the "Festool LR32-SYS Hole Drilling Set (584100)". That is an $800-$900 kit. Do I really need that if I already have a TSO parallel guide kit?

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Yes, the purpose of the TSO kit is to adapt Dewalt routers to the FT LR32.

Hey Ron, I recently built a DeWalt themed trailer (you would probably enjoy it, video on my channel) and do most of my work outside under a canopy. I have watched a lot of your videos and I'd like to build my own version of your work bench. However, I would like to build it as a "semi-permanent" outdoor workspace. Do you think your bench design would hold up in the Florida weather if built out of 3/4" CPVC with stainless hardware in place of plywood? Thanks.

[@garvinsimmons]

I live in the caribbean Trinidad to be precise and weather here is very sunny causing some materials to warp and twist. Try making the work bench out of 3/4 ply

[@BarrysToolCave]

That's what I'm worried about, but I need a good durable waterproofing solution. The cpvc sheets are a soft material, but can handle the rain. Its expensive stock so I don't want to go ahead and waste money if it's going to warp after a week outside. I may have to use PT plywood with a heavy polyurethane coat.

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

The bench is made with 18mm which is close to ¾"

[@meghancass3187]

Or you could buy a line boring machine and make about 20 sides in that amount of time.

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

You could. If you have watched my channel you know I had a Blum machine for 30 years and just sold the last one a year ago. This mission that I have have made clear in this process is to find the best portable option. Also the Festool LR 32 cost about the same as the bits for my line boring machine, not to mention $6,000 for the machine. This option is good for low production.
