Here is a vid of doing a set of facings, architraves around a door showing the technique and how convenient it can be. The kss300 is more suited to this kind of work as lighter but the technique is exactly the same. Some of the camera work is not the same but you should get the general idea

Nice one. I use my 300 for the same sorts of simple trim work. I like that its easy to take right to the door so you can fine tune your cuts without walking back and forth to a Miter-saw station.

Yep the 300 is more convenient I think for this sort of thing I thought I would just show people how convenient the kss system can be. Once you get into the mindset of using it a set facings can be done just as quick as mitre station

Yes, recent articles in the UK magazine "Furniture and Cabinetmaking" showed how to cut tendons using festools track system. It is, I assure you, far simpler to do this using a kss saw without any fussy set up. Once you start using the system you begin to see the possibilities. I have yet to try it out but think of cutting dovetails with a kss, I've done various lapped joints including metered and lapped dovetail joints ( in this case on a fairly large scale, I think the tail was 3 1/2" at its widest point). Anyway fun to play with for sure. I often have to come up with solutions in a pinch due to the nature of my work so speed and accuracy are vitally important, also minimal set up, which the kss system is unrivalled IMO.

Yeah but it was a good days work some of the compound angles on the hips where over 45, so had to be still cut by hand. The new kss 80 would be excellent fir this type of work as can cut to 60. Hint hint still waiting for the video

Thats an intense amount of work for a roof. Not much work like that in the USA.

We don't do much of this work either. The main roof is all trusses , the roof above the Bay Window is diminishing trusses just leaving the hips to work out I quite enjoy as don't do much and makes a change. The 1x boards are what we call sarking boards. It's a scottish thing that gets done when the roof is going to be slated as osb would be to bouncy. If the roof is going to be tiled we 12mm osb the the counter and tile battens. In England they don't do they cover the trusses with felt or tyvek then get batened out to suit the roof covering
