Festool CONTURO User Manual page 2

Introducing Wolfgang Reines.
Carpenter. Product manager. Inventor.
I always have mixed feelings when visiting
a carpenter's workshop. On the one hand,
I enjoy the smell of fresh timber and recog-
nise the typical whirring and screeching of
saws cutting through wood. I also revel in
the atmosphere that I became so familiar
with during my training as a carpenter. But
then I immediately switch to my role as a
product manager, where I have to analyse
every working situation, every process and
even every individual action from a very
different perspective. I then arrange a
meeting with the cabinetmaker to discover
more about the processes in the workshop.
Or hold discussions with staff to gather
valuable information on how to achieve
the desired result more quickly. Which, for
example, could help prevent damage to
the material. I also try to obtain ideas that
could help achieve an overall better working
result.
This is exactly how "The perfect edge" concept
was developed. As a central hand-guided
electric power tool for professional edge
banding, the CONTURO was not designed as
a replacement for stationary edging machines,
but rather as an effective system solution
for the manufacture of small batches or
rapid production of high-quality edging,
even on curved, convex or concave shapes.
One system that represents excellent
results and is easy to operate, but above all,
opens up new possibilities for fulfilling the
individual wishes of your customers.
