A) Is Scott New Zealand's most famous person now? 'he' s gone that way' B) does every New Zealander have an Instagram account??? C) This is like an 80s USA TV series, eg the A-Team, getting the crew back together for just one more mission. A Very exciting episode.
For the layout of the ply, there are cut list calculators that you put all you piece sizes in and sheet size and grain direction and it works out the most efficient layout for cutting and how much % of wastage you get. Really handy for this sort of thing
The other half and I were just admiring the way you shot the 'plane footage from the viewing area and the road as if it was your 'plane. Really the extra mile to get those shots to tell the story!
Tip I find helps with laminate materials or ply, is to do a 1 or 2mm deep ‘back cut’, plunge the saw and cut backwards on the first cut so the blade teeth cut down into the material creating the clean score cut, and then depending how thick the material is a couple of forward passes or full depth forward cut. Then instead of buying new strips everytime, get some thin double sided tape and use it to keep sticking on the old strip, shifting the strip across as it wears out
Hi Scott, the Festool Saw has a Splinter Guard, eg Splinter guard SP-TS 55 R/5. When you dont have this make a first cut at 2mm deep backwards an than the normal Cut. With this you could prevent splinter too with all Plungesaws
I think you can limit the tear up by using the green surface guard/guide on the front outside edge of the plate. You can adjust the guide to run flush on the surface of the material you’re cutting. Thats what I read in the festool manual and it works well on doors and laminate etc
Festool track saw issues. @ 12:00 You’ve used two different saws on the same track. It’s possible the makita is just barely narrower compared to the festool this means it would have cut a thin kerf out of the rubber piece that rests on the ply. You should be able to pull it off & move it over & re-cut it so it matches the saw & blade. There’s also a green tab that goes on the front side of the saw (currently clear) that the blade cuts into to create a zero clearance insert & it’s a consumable. There should be a spare in the box, give it a try. I hope this helps :)
At 17.33 when checking the good festool cut, the rail was placed on end, the splinter guard end, this also has affect on alignment for the guard which then leaves chips, it’s common with the festool/makita rails, never had to change the Bosch splinter guard tho.
Thank you Scott For granting my wish, I asked for paerau in the last video and now 🙏 hopefully he’ll be in the next!! Love seeing the old crew and that beautiful car!!
Love those SU carbs. I used to put those on old VWs for my friends; even got some working pretty well on a 70's Harley XLCH Sportster once. If you happen to be driving it by the Seattle area, stop by and I'll sync those up for you properly!
Do a score cut first just a few mm’s you’ll notice a massive difference. And the splinter guard remove it and reattach and then cut again with the saw. Nice tight fit to prevent tear out
yeah i'm a woodworker and this is what we do to prevent splinters. you can do a score with a knife or something else sharp and that will be good as well, just as long as you break the surface level fibres
I'm a residential builder of 20 years... now I project manage commercial projects. I can relate to Cameron's comments. Honestly commercial is so full on that what I used to do as a resy chippie seems like it was a holiday.
What you are saying is correct. The "good" side should be down because the blade rotates up into the board at the bottom. At the top it rotates up away from the board, which can lift the fibers.
About that holden. I had an hj kingwood wagon driving it to work and it was something else! Especially in the winter. No heater no demister coin flip on starting it hha! Oh those were the days
Small tip for the tracksaw, when cutting laminate i find that doing 2 passes gives the best results for me. First pass like 1/8" or 3/16" of an inch than 2nd cut right through. Prevents lifting of wood fibers. Anyway thats just from my experience. Good stuff 👏 👍
Can i please put in a request to have Pareu, Rich, Kameron, Gaston & yourself in one episode. Maybe it could be a Q&A session (over a few beers).. just an idea.
Tip for Rich... if you are not using the Holden a lot, run it on BP Ultimate 98. It actually gains a little bit of octane when stored unlike most 95 and 91 which loses it. It will likely help with the starting. Also you can advance your timing a bit then for a little more power. If not already, running an electric fuel pump, checking the carb balance, points gap etc might help. If everything is right there is no reason she shouldn't start like a modern.
Yeah i agree, i get it tuned by local MG guys who are awesome with the SU carbs and it runs mint, until a couple months pass and i havent driven it and then it runs like crap. I dont know anyone in Auckland who is a good old school/Holden mechanic and the amount of times people have made things worse is astounding, so one day it will become a priority and ill get it running hard and fast.
If you switch the blade on the makita to a thicker kerf you'll get better results, the one they come with is thin to increase battery life. Cheers from Canada!
It's definitely the gap with the splinter guard. I've never had an issue with my Festool track saw, it always makes perfect cuts even with garbage lumber.
@@daniel.s8126 Thanks Daniel love your Holden. My Dad had an EH Station Wagon which towed our caravan all over NZ. Scotty Brown has been very inspirational to me and my home DIY projects.
Hey Scott, enjoy your videos! I think the issue with cut quality of the festool is that the splinter guard didn't exactly match the blade. If you install a new splinter guard that should solve the cut quality, but from that point on, only use the saw that you initially used to trim the splinter guard with that track. This would always ensure a quality cut. Even if you have two festool saws, its' recommended that you always use each saw with it's correspondeing track. Thanks for the great videos!
on ply I do a very shallow (half a mm) first "scoring" cut, then the full cut, helps with chip out... or masking tape, do the same with circular, miter or table saw.
The Makita has a laminate zip funtion. It'll cut at 2 or 3mm depth to cut the laminate top layer. And you'll always have a tiny opening between the blade and splinter strip, because the widest part of the blade is the teeth and not the blade 'body'. So adjusting it tight to the splinter strip will probably cut it further.
During those airplane shots at 2:00, i like to think that Scott setup his camera and tripod in the airport or on the runway then they went inside the airplane and then waited for the airplane to move around, and Scott then retrieved the camera, went back into the airplane and then the airplane took off. It would be hilarious if I was correct, but i'm totally off. lol
Its probably just another airplane that he films. Ive been to NZ and seen Nelson airport, you can walk all around it on the outside, so he probably filmed this plane. Might not have been on the same day even.
few times on my ts55 ive had to either move the anti splinter strips or renew them all together. they do wear. or even recently i had to re adjust the little grabby parts on the base that actually position the saw. dunno if that was wear related though.... the saw is approaching 10 years old now
To have a cleaner edge on the offset (which you need according to your cutting diagrams) you HAVE to use the push down green thingamajig on the Festool TS.
Hi Scott, I've found that when using the festool its best to run a scribe cut before cutting through the full material (especially crossgrain). The Maffell is great for this kind of thing because it has a scribe cut built in to the machine and is shimmed a fraction back from the splinter guard so is always a crisp cut. Great to see Rich back in the videos, like the car. Thanks
Hi Scott, better to us the festool blade with ever blad change you have to swap the splinter garde on the machine and check the track. This must give you a clean cut
I've been told whether it's in construction or mechanic, always find you a good tool guy. Cameron definitely fits that bill. That is a very nice track saw.
1. New splinterguard. Every saw and sawplate need a new one. 2. the right sawplate- wd42 or wd48, 3. very sharp or a new one sawplate. Grüße aus Kärnten-Austria
Dunno which is looking more mint...Rich's HR (looks and sounds sweet) or the house (is coming together very nicely)...both are schmick!!! Great seeing Rich and Cameron again, certainly miss seeing the guys on the regular basis...some of the backbones of the earlier SBC video's...great times watching you all!!!! Cheers from Sydney!!!!!
Learned to drive in one of these - in fact, most of us ended up with one. Mine cost me 50.00, three on the tree and if you started it wrong you weren't going anywhere. Mum's was an auto. In the end, my brother treed his, I rolled mine and mum's caught fire on the way home from work.
Scott, how about avideo on what truly sucks about being a carpenter? I have the same lab - pit mix dog as at 10:35, I used to own a 1989 Porsche 944t, and did some time in high school shop class...I'm now 50 and hating my office job, and conclude from this video that i should quit to go to carpentry school.
Dont Makita track saws have an option for "scoring". Little plug that if you punch it in it only lets the blade down a tad bit so you do your first pass super clean
change the splinter guard, regardless festool railsaws suck, makita have a scribe function that overcome this problem aswell, you could just se it to 3mm to scribe but that would be a pain with festool,
That was me at the airport who pointed Jess in the way of Mr Scotty brown! Haha
Haha! The coffee was getting cold and I was getting annoyed, so thanks! 😆
That show has legit become like a sitcom to me. So relaxing to sit back and enjoy the narrative and follow the characters lives!
4:07 People have forgotten what it was like to have carbs, manual choke and cold starts and then having to wait for it to warm up.
You're right. Twin Zenith carbs on mine ... and they need a bit of warming up prior to driving. 😂
Kameron and Rich are both so Genuinely likeable characters
Nice to see Kameron and Richard again,best of luck with the cabinets Scott. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍

@@Pat.Mustard yes.
@@Harambe_ I think there's definitely some people that have Scott best, like Taika Waititi or Peter Jackson, but he is definitely popular.

Seriously....getting the B roll takeoff footage is some next level dedication.
Scott and the company he keeps are just a genuine bunch if good people! Looking forward to the next video!!
Nothing like a tradesman who loves tools and is conscientious! 👌🏻
Kamerons van looks pretty impressive. He seems like such a cool guy!
That van is like a candy store!!!

What’s up from London Ontario Canada! Love your videos, I’m a hardwood flooring installer and love watching your exciting episodes 😆😆
Hot air gun on the splinter guard. You can reposition it 3 - 4 times as it wears away. Best done when dust free to keep the sticky stuff sticky!
How beautiful is Nelson Airport! That drive to Nelson is pretty awesome though.
I spent way too long looking at that plywood ceiling when I was down earlier this year...

I find when you’re cutting a surface you want to be perfect, run a cut with the depth set at 2mm, then cut it again full depth, perfect every time!!
I think you can limit the tear up by using the green surface guard/guide on the front outside edge of the plate. You can adjust the guide to run flush on the surface of the material you’re cutting. Thats what I read in the festool manual and it works well on doors and laminate etc
The Auckland A-Team back at it again! Hopefully we get to see Paeru(?) back on ‘the next exciting episode of Scott Brown Carpentry’. Cheers, mate!
Love to see Rich and Kameron back in the vids! Missed those guys!
Glad to see the old Auckland gang is doing alright!
Could always have a score cut and then the full cut to keep a clean edge with any blade/saw

I'm a residential builder of 20 years... now I project manage commercial projects.
I can relate to Cameron's comments. Honestly commercial is so full on that what I used to do as a resy chippie seems like it was a holiday.
I always thought that you had to place the sheet upside down and cut it so the blade cut up into the surface to make a chip free cut
Thats what I was taught as well
What you are saying is correct. The "good" side should be down because the blade rotates up into the board at the bottom. At the top it rotates up away from the board, which can lift the fibers.

I’ve got the Makita and it lets you cut first pass with 2mm cut before cutting full depth . I used to have Mafell but motor burnt out .
Just happy that tools and stuff is getting a shout out
A strip of painters tape along the cut line helps with the sub-par cuts.

got to love all the wood in Nelson airport
love the HR. keep the old cars going.
You can pull the splinter guard off and move it over and re-cut it. The double sided tape allows you do this one or twice.
there is no problem with a festool track saw. ive used off brand blades and the festool blade beats all. love you scott xx
12:50 just reposition the guard and cut a new edge…
But after that always use the same saw on that particular track
You cut valuable veneered board with the veneer underneath so the teeth of the blade are cutting upwards towards the veneer.
Best advice here.
If you switch the blade on the makita to a thicker kerf you'll get better results, the one they come with is thin to increase battery life. Cheers from Canada!
Festoool has a chip protection device you have not employed. It will make a difference.
It's definitely the gap with the splinter guard. I've never had an issue with my Festool track saw, it always makes perfect cuts even with garbage lumber.
More of an alignment issue. His base was missing an adjuster screw and the blade was cutting at an angle to the track
Nice to see Kameron again too. Rich still had his pickup(and tools) in this vid :(
Mate, your wife is pretty charming. Glad you are including her in more videos.
I loved how she forgot they were famous!

Nice car Richard. Love the triple carb set up
To eliminate the chip out you can make your cuts in two passes. Cut halfway on both sides. It solves for me.
Hey Scott, enjoy your videos! I think the issue with cut quality of the festool is that the splinter guard didn't exactly match the blade. If you install a new splinter guard that should solve the cut quality, but from that point on, only use the saw that you initially used to trim the splinter guard with that track.

Dont Makita track saws have an option for "scoring". Little plug that if you punch it in it only lets the blade down a tad bit so you do your first pass super clean
Feed rate helps with cleaner cuts too. Love the show. Cheers
change the splinter guard, regardless festool railsaws suck, makita have a scribe function that overcome this problem aswell, you could just se it to 3mm to scribe but that would be a pain with festool,
Wonderful to see some friendly faces!
Maybe try doing a scribe cut first then a full depth cut if you want both sides to be finished quality
Love the catch up Scotty! Part of my Saturday morning ritual 👍
