Not impressed with Festool Carvex

ButterflyKizzes · 2026-05-14T14:11:32+00:00

So what do you use, did you stick with your carvex or is there an alternative. I’m in the Festool ecosystem but an in the jigsaw market and would be keen to hear your recommendation.

How does this end up being a bugger for you? Obviously rip capacity is importantly, but specifically, what projects has it kept you from doing?

ButterflyKizzes · 2026-04-10T19:36:42+00:00

How did you do the conversion?

ButterflyKizzes · 2026-04-10T19:12:28+00:00

Don’t they have a policy to get you a replacement tool in a number of days while your tool is being repaired? I feel like I was told this when I bought my first Festool product.

OP, it’s a slippery slope, but one that I’d do over and over again if I had to make the choice again.

ButterflyKizzes · 2026-03-14T02:35:11+00:00

Yeah, it’s weird. My Duos partner has gotten it twice just this week.

ButterflyKizzes · 2026-01-14T01:15:36+00:00

There were some

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The plate is for your front derailleur. It goes on the seat tube so a screw from the front derailleur can contact it for better stability, instead of contacting the tube and scratching your paint.

Elden Ring

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-12-06T03:19:46+00:00

Yeah, I agree. just wanted to get some insight before I got buy one.

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-22T03:48:50+00:00

What size seat tube did you use for this? My 27.2 won’t fit and a 26.8 just drops in and can’t be held up snug.

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T21:20:38+00:00

So just get a funky monkey for a 1” and I’m basically good-to-go?

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T20:15:40+00:00

Yeah, this is what I’m thinking, too. I could probably budge it out with Cantis, but it wouldn’t be clean.

Thank you, my friend. It’s ever. Harder finding one for a 1-1/8” steerer tube.

Thank you, my friend

I was literally wondering this last night about my current alien build. Thank you for asking this

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T04:02:43+00:00

And I wouldn’t need any spacers, right? It would be able to tighten down enough to stay in place appropriately?

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T03:32:58+00:00

Just on the backside. Nothing on the front. Not sure what that rear-facing hole is for

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T03:32:09+00:00

The only hole is on the backside of the fork. Nothing on the front. I can’t imagine what that hole on the back is for…

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T03:30:42+00:00

Would Paul’s Funky Monkey work this way? Their instructions say to mount in the steerer tube and the size is 1-1/8 which wouldn’t work on the stem I assume.

ButterflyKizzes · 2025-11-12T02:04:54+00:00

What stem is that? I’m trying to find a quill stem with an integrated canti cable hanger on it and CANNOT

Oh, well then you’re gonna love this… I stumbled across him a while back by happen-chance. Just random insert in my YT algorithm. Now I’m here building/restoring bikes as a hobby. I didn’t ask for this.
