The problem with routers for holes with a 20mm bit is generally down to the routers that have run out. This changes depending on the router used. The quad dogs expand a little to help with this. I would also recommend to dull the bit down first by making a number of hole in some scrap material.

@@Benchdogtoolsthanks for the tip, the bit was brand new and I only tested it on a few holes. It’s kind of ok but is slightly off, maybe about 1/2mm. I ordered one of your hinges in the sale so it shouldn’t be an issue now 😃 Thanks for the reply on Boxing Day 😮

This has 2 reasons. 1. When you set the height of the dogs to 18mm you can slide in your material without having to remove your track. Something you don’t have to keep finding a place to put your track. 2. Prevents the track tipping when you have your saw on your track with smaller material under your track. So in my opinion definitely a good use for the collars.

Sort of Matching the colours helps to identify which plate is for which router. Some people may have multiple so it would be easy to identify. As by the way you spelt colour I would assume that you are American using the imperial system that may not know this. I would like to think when I use the work mil most people who use the metric system would know this terminology. So for clarity if you hear this in other videos the 100mil is 100mm.

If this is outside the uk. Vat is dedicated

No a design improvement. But you don’t need this as your system has already the change. This video was posted on our social media over 6 months ago. So if you have a hinge system the was purchased after September 2023 you should have the different blocks installed

if you contact us we can check your system and send you the parts. Not every system had this movement but to eliminate any future issues we change to the Acetal

@@Benchdogtools I've emailed you, thanks

This happens all the time. Only difference is that most companies make improvements and call it a new version of the product which you have to purchase in it's entirety.

Thanks Ralph👍

The right hand fence is generally to support the cut as well as for narrow cut. You can position your fences and hinges to suit your size of your sheets accordingly

The track is designed so that the left side has little risk of tearing, the ride scrap side has more risk of tearing. Furthermore changing your blade on a plunge saw extends the cut depth on the right side, which can defer in width. And do not flip the track because it's not recommended to pull the machine which is very dangerous.

Yes this still needs to be done for accuracy

Yes. Will be released soon.

@@Benchdogtools also looking forward to this... would be nice to attach the fence to the extrusions too

Yeas. Just waiting on some tooling and stock.

Great to hear.

There is a leg clip fitted on the table. Once you close the legs this clips into the leg which then holds it in place. If you want to tighten the cam leaver you can also do this you just might need to turn them first.

Not sure where you are getting your prices from. The shipping is not that for a single table.

Yes. The system is modular and can attach to any corner

But when you remove the VAT from the price as USA do not pay this this saves you over $130. And is till cheaper than the competition

😂

Yes we have a prototype of this and will be releasing soon. We have also shown a photo of a router table in one of the outriggers that we are also working on.

Yes it is over 30kg Folded the dimensions are 114x74x10. So not a huge size. Definitely not £200 or below a door system will come but this sounds like it’s not a table for you. As for the CSC fence. You may have set up wrong to be able to come up with a comment that you have. Many happy customers with this system and we don’t see any emails from you to ask any questions about it.

Nope any routers can use this We just have the Festool to hand

You might be unclear about the fees associated with purchasing from the UK as an EU customer. When you order from a UK-based company, the 20% VAT charged in the UK is removed from your order total. However, upon receiving the item in your EU country, you will be required to pay your country's VAT, which can vary, with rates around 25% in some areas. In addition, there may be a courier handling fee of approximately €15 for processing your order. If customs duties apply, these can be around 5%, depending on the product. Therefore, the total added cost would not reach 50%. Even if we were still within the EU, you would still be liable for VAT. The total additional costs could be a maximum of 5% (for duties) plus the courier fee. It’s essential to recognise that not everyone in the UK wanted to leave the EU, and a broader understanding of these changes would be beneficial for all involved.

@@benchdogs-tools I got the right informations about the additional fees I had to pay both on your website and on the custom's website I visited before placing the order, I paid about € 157 for my order (130 for the goods and 27 for shipping) and € 51 to the courier for taxes and custom fees. Unfortunately the guide was not precise while using it to perform some narrow cuts so you sent me a pair of new brackets, and for that I had to pay around € 23 but that was not resolutive, so you sent me another set of extrusion and for that I had to pay another € 29. I understand the first € 51 I paid were for vat and custom fees and, as I said, I was prepared to pay them, but in conseguence of a problem with the goods I received I had to pay an extra of € 52 to solve it. I have to say the support I received from your team was outstanding, but the problems I encountered cost me 30% more than the initial order value....

We are making imperial sets soon.

These are available now to buy. We have to ship the pre orders first.

@@Benchdogtools I went to buy the Ultra setup but can’t do the almost $800 shipping fee… cool product though

that would be a good addition and also a router table add on

Yes we will doing more videos soon.

Wouldn't you cut full sheets on the ground? I feel like it would be difficult to reach across a full sheet safely with the saw.

@@ImLeeBeeTake a look at the other videos showing the table with extensions. It can accommodate an 8x4 sheet, and the main advantage is the precision you get with the rail hinge and the fence with stops. I need to see it in action to understand how everything works together as part of the system.

@@bradjones5266 Don't get me wrong, I understand that. I'm just thinking about how when a full sheet is raised that high, physically reaching across the whole length to make the cut could get difficult or dangerous. For square cuts of that size, best option would probably be a rail square. For accurate repeat cuts, parallel guides. That's just my opinion of course, we each have our own needs and methods.

@@ImLeeBeewe need a cordless self propelled track saw.

At the end of the video, Ralph explains how to do that using the connection kit.

​@@robertpearce8394He states you can do tables side to side, you can not do extensions side to side. Doesn't not mention end to end.

@@RobyWanKenobi 3.08, i explain this about the extensions.

​​@@RalphBD brilliant video. Think question is same as I had. Which is can you connect two tables together with joining kit in a long line? I know you said in the video you can connect side to side but was not sure about if the feet would clash connecting length ways E.g order two tables rather extension and connect together on either width or length

​@@James-dv1dfYes. I want to buy 2 tables so I can have a longer table but also be able to use 2 independently. I do not want the extensions since they can't be used independently.

If you level it to your floor, the table will be very sturdy. For $300, I'm sure there are Chinese-made tables out there that can fit your budget, so this table may not be the table for you with your budget.

@@benchdogs-tools For sure. Not trying to make it sound like your table is too expensive either. The Kreg for $500 was ok at best, even leveled it was still wobbly but works (still have it). The problem I have is with the fold up/stand up mechanisms. They are too weak for repeated use it seems. Maybe your table solves that issue, but I feel like the hardware of the legs and the folding mechanism are just too weak for long term use. I'd want more stout legs and a heavier hinge mechanism of some sort, at least based on my kreg table and a few others I've seen. Including the Festool one.

I'll add looking at your table more close up, you do seem to have a more sturdy set of legs. The thing metal brace that holds the legs when open still looks a bit thin, but I suspect that could be thickened if need be. The design looks better than Kreg and Festool though. So props to you for that. Being in the US would probably make it super expensive to ship from the UK though.
