“I bought one of these Festool sanders about 18? years ago. It was rated as the best sander in what was called a "Magazine" review. Then, 12 years later because I sand incorrectly, I melted the Velcro hooks on the pad rendering my very expensive sander useless.
A visit to the local Woodcraft store showed there was a replacement, and I bought one. It was a bit expensive but kept the very expensive tool working. That was 5 years ago.
Well I destroyed another pad and forgot to bring it in with me or write down any information.
While shooting the sht with the guys who work there the subject came up and one of them looked up my purchase history. Told me I had purchased a "soft" pad and would I like the same or something different. I chose the "medium" pad and now have this sander back in service.
I recently bought the outrageously expensive dual sander, so I think between these two I won't be melting any more pads.
I don't really remember when I bought the first, but to support a product for this long is quite an achievement.
Also, this wasn't even a special order. it was a pad they have in stock for one of their many present sanders.”
“All boards looked great. Mostly dark with a few whites stripes. Project is complete and turned out great!! Note, I did not have to plane any boards. All sides were smooth.”
“I ordered the knotty pine veneer and it is absolutely beautiful! It was my first time using a large veneer and it was easy to apply to the door panels that I was making for cabinets. I highly recommend Woodcraft.”
“I bought the Festool 4-11/16" Screw Clamps Pair for my Festool track. They work great and even though the track does not move when sawing without the clamps, you run a risk of a bumping off track which screws up the accuracy of the cut. If you have spent the $$$ to buy the saw and track combo, spend the little extra money for the Festool clamps. Yes, they look just like the Micro-Jig clamps BUT they are slightly different. In the area that the clamp takes the 90 degree turn, the material is a little thicker on the Micro-Jig clamp which prevents it from sliding into the rail on the Festool track. Yes, you could file off a little material but you risk the degradation of the strongest part of the clamp. The clamp purchase is well worth it. As a side note, after using the track, use some painter’s tape to the rubber strip on the under-side to remove dust and such. Just apply the strip and pull it off. This will improve the non-slip factor and life of the rubber strip.”
“This is a great product. The application is easy and smooth. Let it set overnight and your cutting board is protected. The water beads up and is easy to clean.”
“They almost always have what I need, especially opinions on how to get something done. I'm a novice woodworker so I appreciate all the input I can get.”
“I buy most of my specialty woodworking supplies from Woodcraft Supply--either in-store or on line. My nearest store is 80 miles away. Trips to Spokane usually include a trip to Woodcraft Supply. Wood turning tools and supplies are my most frequent purchases. Woodcraft Supply has a good supply of these items. Wooden and acrylic eggs are my specialty.”
“My 2, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2x 12 pieces of Bloodwood stock arrived well packed and in good shape. Plan to use them as stops for my shooting boards. I believe, being durable and dense, they will do just what I need for shooting boards. The beautiful colors will also add to the views. Can't wait to get them made and try them out!”
“Really enjoy going to Woodcraft-Lexington. Very friendly, knowledgeable, people that bends over backwards to help you. I have bought an entire woodshop there in the last year. They know my wife and I by first name. If we've ever had an issue or question it's handled Immediately. Keep up the good work.”
“I have purchased all 3 sizes of Sorby Sash chisels from Woodcraft. They all arrived in a timely fashion and all have performed well. Like most chisels, the cutting surface needed to be refined for it to work optimally. The staff at Woodcraft are universally helpful and fun to work with.”
“This jig is the ultimate layout changer. Laying out mortises is SO Easy. Just set it and scribe your line. Will probably end up with a second one to leave pre set for my common mortises.”
