Festool de-nibber

Post by pvr » Mon Oct 24, 2016 10:35 am

Used if for the first time on the Audi - think it needs a lot more practice before letting lose on the Porsche :lol:

The first mark on the right is where the tool touched the paint when I was lining it up for the scratch. So the damage caused is about the same size as the original one ...

The tool took surrounding paint off as well, guess I need to put it even flatter to avoid that as it dug into the paint quite quickly.

Use with care I would say (and a lot more practice ...)

you are meant to use it virtually flat. It's meant to lean on the cord that passes through it.

I will try on another bit. When you are on a wing, it is also challenging to keep it flat / straight.
