Now this is what I want to use one of these routers fro, the Arunda Dovetail Timber frame jig. Anyone every used one? how easy is it? Do you need to use the Mafell router for it or will other 3.5 hp routers work (mainly because the mafell router is 230v).
I am finalizing drawings for my house to build and would like to use this for part of the structure that will be exposed. Any more info would be great to have.
Thank you,
Aaron

Apparently Arunda is also developing templates for the Festool OF 2200. Keep in mind these templates can cost $3000 here.

Yes not cheap. And that $3000 does not include the router which will set yo back another $1150. Ouch
Though you are getting all the engineering information with the template and unlimited Simpson tie equivalents.

Time is a big Factor in determining whether the Arunda jig is a good choice. This tool could save a lot of time. Its also cheaper than the Mortiser, Bandsaw, or Beam Chainsaw. A Mortiser and Beam Saw will be over $10K.
I would be talking to some Timber Frame builders before jumping on the system. It might be cheaper to Prep all your stock and then have a Good Timber Framer spend a few days helping you with the joinery.

You can always try the Lignatool jig.

Checking out this site the Logan tool looks very nice. Only thing I don't like is the screwing the jig to the beam. But purusing the website I came across this www.timbertools.com/Products/Accessories-voltage-regulator.htmlA voltage regulator. Not a bad cost and we can run the 230 volt tools by just plugging in 120 to it.

Ya this is something we've been scratching our heads at regarding voltage regulators. I need an answer for stupid people (me)

TImberwolf has a couple Converters for sale. David recommended one unit over the other but I can't remember which one.
I'm still not sure about converters. The little research I've done has mixed results so its confusing. Best to just email Mafell.

Cool video! The max bit size is only 50 mm which is a little surprising.
