    These are absolutely golden tips and knowledge...putting that Domino mark to indicate your plate placement, had I seen that three weeks ago it would've saved me an extra 1-2hrs and putting about 6-8 too many incorrect mortises (that probably speaks more to my lack of intelligence to be able to envision how the machine and joinery needed to work together ;) Thank you sincerely for devoting your personal time to make this content...I'm finding it even more valuable than the FesLive episodes, to be honest.

    Hey Sedge- Canadian guy here in The Netherlands (long story). I know this video was posted 3 years ago but I'm going to ask a question anyway regarding the attachment of the guide plate to the base of the router. The bit about using the centering mandrel is clear. What I never realized is that there are two screws on the underside that should be tightened. 😅 Secondly I noticed in the video that the two black retaining knobs on the base plate were removed during the centering calibration. For me, while setting up my set here, I thought it was odd to have to do this as the threaded posts aren't very long; when affixing the OF 1400 to this plate, you only have a few turns of the knob and it's already tightened. Thankfully it stays in place properly, but it just seemed 'odd' and made me wonder if I had missed something. Might have been handy to have made mention of this detail (perhaps you never had any 'hmmm?' moment about this- might just be me overthinking sh!t... as usual 😅)
    Otherwise an excellent masterclass on the LR32 system. You ought to go on tour here in Europe, you'd sell out everywhere!

    Love your Channel. I have a suggestion... When not using your vac-sys turn it off or put some sound barrier around it. When watching and listening, the vac-sys noise in the background makes it tuff to hear you for any length of time. Again, keep the good stuff coming. Can't wait until you use the LR32 to do a base cabinet with small drawers at the top and doors on the bottom. Thanks again for you delivering a great informative channel.

    Only the front set of system holes is 37mm from the edge. If you want to stay in the system,the back holes should be an increment of 32 from the first set, usually an increment that aligns with your rear mounting holes for your drawer slides

    Sedge, another very useful video. I'm looking for advice regarding using 5mm euro screws to mount the hinge plate and it seems the "5mm" screws will bite into the 5mm hole. What depth do you drill the 5 mm Pilot hole when using the LR32, I think you said 12mm. What length curio screw do you use? I've found 5mm euro screws in 10, 11.5 and 13mm. I'm using 18mm (~3,4 in plywood for the cabinets. Thanks agin for such useful videos, Bravo!

    • @sedgetool

    Think I've watched all your LR 32 videos, and I have not heard you talk about doing the other part of the hinge, on the door. I have jigs for it, but how to align for the cup part of the hinge is kind of confusing, getting it right. Plus cups have different offsets, ect. If I understand it correctly, the centerline of the hinge plate is 80 mm standard, then the centerline for the cup is 80 mm as well. Guess offset does not matter for that math. Did I answer my own question? Absolutely LOVE the LR 32 system for shelf pins, but want to use the entire system, for hinges as well.

    Sedge, I cannot seem to remove all of the guide rail slop from the plate. No matter how much I tighten those two little screws there is 1 to 2 mm of slop on the rail. Is this normal? I was expecting this to behave just like the track saw slop removal process where you can literally make it tight against the guide rail then back it off slightly. Do you think there is an issue with my plate? I am still within a few days of a free return to the seller in case I need to request a replacement. Thanks!

    One thing doesn't add up for me.. When you pre-drill drill the cabinet back with the router and LR32 for the hinge plate hole positions, it seems like you're drilling 5mm pilot holes for screws with a significantly smaller diameter thread. That seems strange. What are the screws which hold the hinge plates actually biting into? Does this work because the hole depth is much less than that of the screw length, so there is some biting right at the back? Do people drill these hinge plate holes super shallow to just use them as guide for a smaller bit? Thanks!

    • @stevebarratt888
      @stevebarratt888 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ohhhh, I actually just checked some of the blum hinge plate specs and the screws that are specced are surprisingly wide in diameter, so they fit in a 5mm pilot hole. Is that right?

      @@sedgetool Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. I've taken out the slop in the rail. I have calibrated with the centering mandrel. I am still getting 1.5 to 2mm difference depending if I place the end stop on the left or I place the end stop on the right. I have to test it more but, I think the end stops are not giving me identical spacing from both ends of the rail. Thanks again.

    • @w2ttsy670
      @w2ttsy670 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sounds like you have an unbalanced panel. You want the end stops to be tight at the ends of the panel. If you can jiggle the rail then your panel is too short, if the rail won’t fit on the board then the panel is too long. What ever your panel length is, it needs to be perfectly divisible by 32.
      Might need to look at your saw fence for drift or if have your blade out of square it will cause run out; resulting in a non 90° cut.

    So with the LR32 system: What is the reason for the 9.5 mm marking on the rail setup blocks (except that 9.5mm is is approximately half of 3/4 inch?) The 32 mm marking appears to be for connecting two or more LR 32 rails together, does this 32mm serve any other purpose? As a special note there are NO INSTRUCTIONS with the LR32 system, everyone just says to use "16mm up and out" but we all know 16mm is approximately 5/8inch and that 16 is one half of 32 so how can 18 mm plywood (if there is such a thing) play in correct cabinet making? Maybe it's a big secret? BTW I have two LR32 systems, 4 1400mm LR32 rails, and one 2424mm rail and no one seems to know if there is a correct answer.

    @grumpywiseguy5992 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sedge, it seems like you skipped a step in setting up the side panels. I don't see a video explaining the overall design of the cabinet. For example, the slot or dado on the back of the panels is not explained and how far in they should go or what the depth should be. Maybe I missed something but for beginners, you need to take it a little slower. You are so good at this for so many years that the little details are just assumed. However, for newbies like me, every little setup detail that I don't understand, I grind to a halt for sometimes days at a time trying to figure it out. Or I screw up material experimenting around until I finally get something that works. Also somewhere on the channel or a website should be a COMPLETE list of everything you are using, especially all the Festool tools. Which router, what accessories, how are they assembled together. All that stuff. Every item may be simple to you, but you start adding up many many simple items, very quickly in a video, and it can get very confusing and complex very quickly. I believe the router is an OF1400, but instead of a 27mm hose (attached to which dust extractor?), I believe it is a 36mm hose. Is that really necessary in the LR32 system or can the standard 27mm hose be used? Or either (I own both but not many new Festool users have such luxuries when first starting out). What does a complete LR32 system look like? How long is the track? How far should the track fit over the ends of a particular length cabinet? How many holes for TWO or more shelves should there be and what is the guidance on that? All good stuff, and thanks for presenting these videos. Just trying to help.

    768 mm is 30.2362 inch and not 30.25 which is why I have and only use the LR 32 system. If Metric then use Metric, If Imperial then use Imperial, but do not convert one system of measurement to the other, it always ends in a mess of confusion. 32mm is 1.25984 inch, but 1.25 inch is 31.75mm and confusion will mess it all up. Buy and learn to use the LR32 system. I never buy the rail that comes in any Festool kit deal. Buy the tool without the offered rail and buy a LR32 rail separately , it is more money, but it is also more useful. Just my two cents. Now replay this video.
