Great review Ryan. The popular 'name brand' Shelix has only 40 blades so I would think these Chinese heads with 60 would especially be (marginally) smoother especially for highly figured woods. A quick Amazon search shows several of these appearing identical from different sellers. So if it goes in and runs with out trouble, than there may not be much to worry about for a warranty. If blades start chipping prematurely, another seller probably has replacements.

Very timely as I’m about ready to purchase a helical cutterhead. My main concern about going with the Findbuy Tool version is whether they’ll be around in years ahead when I need to buy replacement inserts. I don’t know much (anything?) about the inserts, so I’m not sure if this is something valid to be worried about. Would Byrd Shelix inserts fit this planer bar? Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for the review. I just bought the same planer few months ago. And will most likely do the Fine buy cutterhead upgrade. Seems to be of good quality and cheapest price on the market.

Nice work .

Spinder sandle 😂. Great shop!

Good video , with a few suggestions from a production wood worker. Never wear gloves and long sleeves around machinery in a wood shop. With regards to you’re snipe issue, you need to adjust the height of you’re infeed and outfeed tables. Do you’re self a favour and buy a used 6-8” jointer, it is a must for any rough lumber woodworking, and is way safer that what you are doing on the table saw.

Very helpful. I think as you develop your hand tool skills you see the value of using hand planes and cabinet scrapers in lieu of sanding to the extent possible. Nevertheless nothing wrong with having a good sander until you get there.

Good video .... whats your thoughts on them being face grain cutting boards?

Your Scraper at 2:55 look a lot like a beekeeping knife tool.... is it?

Great video man. The juice groove depends on what we are cutting. You should have a separate board for meats and veggies. Juice grooves are for meats and without for veggies. It's nice to do it this way in my kitchen so we don't mix up which board is which

I have a similar sized job site saw and I can find no information anywhere of how much you can pull the miter express back? How wide are the boards you can crosscut with this? What is your experience on durability of this? Greatly appreciated 🙂

It's done beautifully, but there are some "newbie" mistakes :) 1. The working area and the table area are not the same thing. The working area where the material is processed, but the material itself and the place for fasteners can be larger. And they should be larger so as not to reduce the working area. 2. It's good to have a sacrificial layer that will be damaged when cutting the material and fastening parts with screws. That is, I suggest gluing one or two more layers on top. They can be gradually aligned during the work and new ones can be glued. And not redo the entire table with T-slots. Good luck in your future work :) P.S. The simplest and most functional table for a CNC hobby made of plywood with embedded nuts, in plan from 4 parts that can be processed on the machine itself. in my opinion.

Nice shop and nice walk through!

I prefer to make with WoodPrix plans.

Hi! New subscriber here. You mention at 14:50 that you were able to fix the snipe on your dewalt planer. Can you elaborate on what you did to fix this issue, please? I have the same model and getting snipe on every pass. Any insight is appreciated.

Step 1 get a complete workshop to build it in 😂

Level straight edge trick is sweet

Canadian woodworkers Rule!

I've found great e-book on WoodPrix. Good solutions for everyone I think.

You could either put two particular edges or three while leaving the shorter end open, just a though.

You did good

What air quality meter do you use?

Loved your video man. CN see your thinking faster than the recording! Love it! I also have a small shop. Dust collection is a pain no doubt! Looking at suitable, affordable option….. it has been tough. The oef 1010 reqf has been great. With existing rails for already-owned Festool kit…. I have been happy, recommend checking out the angle accessories. Thanks for the great videos!! Look forward to future videos!!!

Looked good

Beautiful Job!

I agree 100% with you on juice grooves and handles, they are pretty much useless. Namely, juice grooves add an extra step on the building process which imposes an unnecessary risk of ruining the cutting board, as I've seen in many videos... Nice work btw!

The WEN is not worth the price. Id keep the rikon which will last longer than the WEN

I never comment, but I kept thinking 'this guys sounds Canadian or something...' Then you dropped it: You are! A shout out from Ottawa! Keep it up, I'm subscribed. I want to hear about that 3D printer for sure. Been holding off on getting one of those but the writing seems to be on the wall, they're too useful to ignore.

Very Nice! I also hate juice grooves and won't have them on my boards. Have done them on clients boards which I hate to do. Try using a nice damp soft cloth the remove the glue squeeze out after clamping. I found that is saved me a lot of time. I do water pop at 320 then hit it with 400 just long enough to take the pop up hairs down. Any more and you're defeating the purpose. I pour a quarter cup of food safe mineral oil on a board and use a paint brush to brush it in. Usually takes about 30 minutes, some food soak it in quicker like walnut. Then I dry and apply the wax. Once I did my first end grain I never made another face grain....but might one day.

The OF1400 is a great router if you are already on the Festool platform, the main benefit for me is the speed you can change tooling and copying rings.

Your thoroughness in narration helped to fill in the gaps that a lot of other cutting board videos omit. Glad you didn’t let your perceived glut of cutting board videos deter you from making your video. Everyone is unique and I’ve watch plenty in prep for my first board and yours was boots on the ground helpful. That’s my long winded way of saying thanks!

Well done! Have to say other than price, the OF1400 is by far the best router I’ve used. I do feel silly having spent that amount of $$, but the attachments and dust extraction are worth every penny.

Best of the season from Vancouver Island 🏝️

We sell the 6" 3m net over at kmtools. Great video!

Let's check WoodPrix ebook if you want to make it cheaper and better.

I dont know if they had them in NA (120v) but try find an old OF2000 E/1, made for festool by mafell. Only slightly less power than an OF2200 & only about 1/4 of the rrp, I have 3 of them, yes 3, and absolutely adore them. The ergonimics are perfect, works on the rail and does everything the new ones can. Love mine.

These are face edge boards?

I think we're over the festool shame comments now. buying the rail to go with the router is not the best first choice if you happen to have their tracks saw then the rail is a bonus when you buy the router. there's always a downside to trying to mix too many brands.

Great advantage of this type of accessory is the ability to remove it if you also metal work too. Cutting oils are not good to have around your wood projects. To date I have been using a scrap of a countertop - it works great but because it cost me nothing it also gets used for metal work - I might just buy the LV version so I have an incentive to remove it for metal projects.

Well done!

I have a makita rp2301fc, 3 1/4hp router …. It’s a heck of a router. I would say it’s one of my special purchases

How much you want for drill press? Thats the 12" correct? Assume you got it at lee valley probably. Im in Calgary

I have that sander and something that I didn't account for is the price of 6" sandpaper. Worth it to me, but it should be considered if anyone is on the fence. Secondly, I have a cheap-o drill press and I notice "run out" from either the chuck and/or the table deflecting. Also, I have to manually position belts to change the speed, which means I never change the speed. Hey, wanna trade?

Have your new sander and the rotax and the rotax is about 3-4x faster than the 150/5

I’m considering a 3D printer as well, but what turns me off is the length of time it takes to print anything. Do you find the printing time a disadvantage? Or is the outcome worth it?

Many people view the Festool sander as overpriced; the same is true for Hilti concrete tools. However, the price becomes reasonable when you consider the sanding speed, minimal vibration, and effective dust collection it provides. The 6" model is the way to go. I use mine with a Dust Deputy cyclone and a Rigid shop vac-I’m not quite ready for the Festool vacuum yet as I do consider that way overpriced! The Dust Deputy compensates you each time you empty the drum and do not replace a vacuum bag.

"I hope not. But who knows what's going to happen?" <----- The words of a Festool For Life person! LOL!

Good video Ryan. I have the same drill press. I saw that table at Lee Valley but wasn't sure how it would fit on the Rikon. Looks like it fits perfectly so your video was very helpful for me. I do think I'd cut some slots in the top so I can clamp things down. For longer stock I can see how you could just use quick grip clamps at the edge of the table. But for smaller pieces it would be useful to have some dovetail or T slots to accommodate clamping.

Nice setup Ryan - thanks for sharing. Those of us with small garage workshops all face the same issues so it's always nice to see solutions that others have come up with. I'm in Canada too so I understand the additional challenges of keeping the shop warm and also keeping humidity under control when it's -20 outside. I park cars in my shop during the winter so humidity becomes a problem due to snow melting off of them . I run a dehumidifier which helps to keep the rust off the tools and cast iron tables. You mentioned plans for a CNC in your future. Do you have one in mind? Will you manage to find the space for a 4x8 or do you plan to get a smaller one?

I have 2 Ryobi 5" battery powered sanders. No vibration, pigtails, and does a good job for each less than $90 (can't remember actual price). I put a different grit on each sander so I don't have to keep changing paper when I'm batching out multiple projects like cutting boards. Is it as good as a Festool? I'll never know because of the price and I am using my money for other things.
