Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use TOT! dustless system to flatten the epoxy?
TOT! router sled´s dustless system was designed to flatten the wood.
TOT! router sled can be used for small cracks filled with epoxy with no problem.
TOT! router sled can be used on larger resin surfaces under the following conditions:
ON EPOXY ALWAYS USE A SLIGHTLY LOWER RPM, A LOWER DEPTH OF CUT, AND ALSO A LOWER SPEED OF MOVE
Anyway keep in mind, that the epoxy behaves during flattening totally differently than wood.
Wood is split into small chips and mostly dust.
In contrast, epoxy tends to form long strips that are stuck together. It is more difficult to exhaust these strips in the same way as wooden dust. Epoxy chips can clog sealing brushes and exhaust hoses too.
!!!Epoxy chips can permanently damage sealing brushes if brushes are not protected properly!!!
Here you can see how to protect sealing brushes with strong duct cloth tape.
In large surfaces of epoxy, we strongly recommend:
- protect sealing brushes with strong duct cloth tape!
- use a 50 mm hose with a dust collector!
- check repeatedly sealing brushes and exhausting hose during the flattening of the epoxy surface!
- always keep sealing brushes clean!
- clean sealing brushes before/after every use!
Do you also sell aluminum extruded profiles outside the EU?
We ship profiles only up to 2 m in length outside the EU due to restrictions imposed by the shipping company.
What is the shipping cost?
The total shipping cost is calculated based on the total weight of the entire shipment.
It will be displayed at checkout after the entire delivery address has been correctly filled in.
How can I adjust the depth of cut for different slab thicknesses on TOT! router sled?
TOT! router sled supposes using a plunge router.
Bigger plunge routers such as Festool OF2200, Makita 2300, etc. allow plunging the router bit in the range from 0 to 50 mm.
This plunge allows adjusting the depth of cut on TOT! router sled for dustless work in a range from 0 to 30mm with 20,30 and 40 mm long sealing brushes which are included in TOT! router sled, and a range from 0 to 50mm with the addition of optional 50 and 60mm sealing brushes.
Of course, without the additional lifting of the slab during the work if you set the slab as high as possible at the beginning.
TOT! router sled requires using a router chuck extension which is not part of TOT! router sled (sold separately).
How to avoid increased vibrations of the router bit and damage to the bearings of the router.
Besides damaging the tool during the work by crashing to the loosened knot or parts of the workpiece, tools can be also damaged by missed or irregular maintenance.
Dust and small parts of wood and epoxy can be stuck to the router bit and collet extension.
If these parts are not cleaned regularly, they can cause increased tool vibration and damage to the bearings of the router.
Collet cleaning:
Cleaning the collet is recommended after every 10 hours of work.
Mainly the inner part of the collet is cleaned using a nylon brush.
It is recommended also to clean the space between the slats of the collet.
Tool shanks should be cleaned after each tool change or every 10 hours of work.
It is ideal to use a cleaning solution: e.g. CMT Formula 2050 or a similar product.
Collet replacement:
The collet wears out due to tool clamping and tool vibrations, and surfaces are squeezed out on the internal clamping parts, which causes imperfect tool clamping.
This can cause the tool to break at the clamping point, increase tool vibration, and damage the milling machine or spindle bearings.
Replacing the collet with a new one every 300 hours of work is recommended.
