![]() ![]() This means that I will need to devise a means to align the LR32 rail with a regular guide rail. I only did a short cabinet this time but for a taller cabinet the guide rail I have is not long enough. (Note the guides are easy to use and are pictured here on the far side of the guide rail.) Shown below are the guides that I need to spend more time with to get more comfortable with regarding design/placement options. In fact Kreg’s videos convinced me that it can be easy and I have no doubt the next time I use it that I will be more comfortable. That said, FOG has a lot of resources to help me overcome this. The placement of the guide rail and holes is something I need to learn. Every other Festool is so well designed that the use seemed intuitive. I also found that unlike other tools used during this project that the LR32 felt a little unnatural to me. At the moment I am doing some trial and error to see what hole placement works for me. This is related more to operator error and learning curve but I need to develop a better understanding of the 32mm system. (I also used the tip from Brice/Kreg to work from the far end of the guide rail so that the dust collection hose did not get caught up.) Hole drilling was fast and the mechanics to drill, click and move to the next hole were surprisingly fluid and easy (once I had the guide rail set.) This was my big question about the LR32 and it passed with flying colours. I am still not on speaking terms with it but I was pleasantly surprised. Prior experiences with MDF had led me to think that MDF and I had a hate/hate relationship. I worked with MDF as this was what I had on hand for my prototype. I got a kick out of watching the dust swirl around and get sucked away. Although this is not directly related to the LR32 guide the de facto router for the LR32 is a Festool router. (I will come back to this in the conclusion.) When I was making my decision to buy I did take into account the financial cost of the various alternatives. I have not had any experience with any of them so I cannot do a comparative review. Looking in the market there are many alternatives to the Festool LR32. Given that we want something more functional with shelving we need some way to provide shelving and even better the ability to flexibly adjust the shelving as our family storage requirements change. ![]() ![]() The rail can also be used as a regular guide rail with Festool routers, saws and jigsaws.So when we last left our fearless hero, namely me, he had used his trusty TS55 to cut the required stock for a prototype built-in. The LR32 guide rail with positioning holes is purchased separately in 1400 (FE-496939) or 2424mm (FE-491622) lengths. PLEASE NOTE: The 8mm collet is required for cutters supplied with this kit. The rail can also be used as a regular guide rail with Festool routers, saws, and jigsaws. ![]() The LR 32 guide rail with positioning holes is purchased separately in 1400 mm or 2424 mm lengths. The set includes clamps, stops, cutters, and the guide plate that is fitted to the router.Īn 8 mm collet is required and is sold separately for the LR32 to work with the OF 1010 and the OF 1400. Compatible with OF 1010 and OF 1400 routers, as well as previous OF 9 models, the LR 32 easily creates 32mm spaced shelf pin holes for your furniture.
