- Festool LR 32 System,
In this two part video we look at the shelf pin and hinge drilling system from Festool. This system allows you to drill 5mm holes at 32mm centers in a repeatable and accurate way. It works with the Festool OF1400 and the Festool OF1010.
This video unboxes the LR32 set, set s it up and calibrates it for first use.
The Woodgrafter channel documents my progress in building up a woodworking business focusing on bespoke builds of fine furniture.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, I post on a regular schedule
- Tool & business tips every Tuesday at 7PM UK time
- Project build videos every Friday at 7PM
- Monthly round up VLOG every second Sunday of the month - again at 7PM.
All my series are collated into play lists and include;
- Tool selection, reviews and use
- Business overview of how we are building the business
- Workshop design and build
- Various in-depth project builds - from design to finish

One of the best "how to" LR32 videos I've watched to date. Many thanks and keep up the great work! Cheers

I have the LR 32 system. I've learned that it's not necessary to have panels cut to a multiple of some measurement--i.e., 32mm, as this video suggests. In order to make sure holes at the front and rear of a panel line up, one need only turn the aluminum guide 180 degrees so that the second series of holes begin from the same end as the first set of holes (top or bottom). In other words, the metal clips that attach to the guide are both on the ends of the guide and are set to begin the same distance from the end of the panel (I use 32mm). Once it's spun around for the second set of holes, the forward and rear holes automatically line up, as long as one always uses the same end of the panel (top or bottom) as the starting point for both front and rear holes.

Hi Mark, yes that makes sense, it’s a while since I made the LR32 videos - but I think I mentioned you can use the method you describe. The challenge (at least in my head) is to guarantee alignment on the base edge - if it is misaligned by even a fraction of a mm then the series of holes will be out by the same. In the case of a shelf perhaps not and issue, in a draw runner that could put a strain on the runner and make it (a little) bit stuff to open and close.
With the multiple of 32 you are in effect clamping the board between two ref points so it will always be bang on. It may be my anal side, I like things to be bang on in my work - I find that imperfections compound throughout the project.
I do agree with you though, and if that amount of precision is not required (or you take time to line up and then clamp and then check. The multiple of 32 is less of an issue - as you say, so long as you use the same ref edge.
Good input and thank you for taking the time.
Cheers

Great video.
Thank you.

Good video, I gave it a thumbs up, but why is everything a "cam" nothing was a cam. It was a screw lock, a peg/dowel or a sprung loaded pin. But not a cam. :)

Hi Ricky, I can’t remember what I was thinking when I made this video. It was a long-time ago.
I often make words up as go.
Thank for watching.

Hi Andy ! I've just bought the LR 32 complete system with the FS 1400/2 LR32 rail. My balanced cabinet side panel is exeactly 960mm. I put the locating bars on the rail, and the distance between the two bars is only 959mm. Do You have any idea? I didn't see any possibilty to adjust the bars. Thanks.
Hi,
At 960 you should have 30 90mm ctrs.
The bars can be portioned in two ways, one from memory placing the first hole at 16mm from the end of the panel. The other placing it 32mm from the end of the panel.
Is it possible you have on bar one way round, and one the other way round ?
Let me know.
Andy
