Festool Kapex

Five Star

lmao

KMac

No question. The first job I did with my rotex I had to sand some stairs. I took all the usual precautions, plastic, drop cloths. No dust. The next day I didn't put anything down - there was a couch right under where I was sanding and there was not a speck on it. I was floored.

i got my eye on that rotex too. i m gonna post all my old tools on craigslist tommorrow to start a festool fund.

BUT THE KAPEX WILL BE ON HOLD TILL THAT UNLIMITED BUGET JOB COMES IN.

then the kitchen that was quoted @ 20k will cost the HO $21,300 + Tax ofcoarse.

Rotex was my first purchase, along with the CT-22. Followed by (two days later) a handle and the hose garage. It feels better to talk about this, I dont seem to itch as much.

Five Star

warner thats a grand right there i guess you cant go to a festool dealer for under a grand+with any purchase you always walk out with something else

Five Star

i bought my ts75 on ebay with extra accessories in very lightly used condition for under 500 im sure there was 200 in just little accessories

Maybe it pays to wait see how the kapex holds up it is relatively new to the market.

in another six mnths if ebay is flooded with them then i guess the saw might not be worth the $1300+ price tag

Lot's of good slide saws out there right now, the Kapex being one of them. As much as I love my Festool stuff, I just don't see the benefit of their saw for the extra $6-$700 bucks.

Same here i think there charging us in euros

Five Star

Warner, i still like the idea of getting the wife up on that mft/3 table that may be justification for that purchase
GOOD CALL

WarnerConstInc.

Agreed Jason, but I always want what I cant have. Like I said when I need a new saw, it will be the Kapex.

world llc

we should figure a way to make a group buy! still i doubt we would get more than 10%

Jason Whipple

Me too I just happen to be thinking about a new saw for the shop and now you guys git me thinking about this one again! Damn you Festool, damn you!!!

OK, thought about it; I'm not buying one. I can get two great saws for what they want for one.

Only things that did not increase were the Kapex and MFT/3. There were a couple others as well but, not many.

I hope they keep with the price increases, all it does is make my used tools worth more on the re-sale end.

Jason Whipple

I noticed that. I bought two sanders in Nov. and saw they went up about $30 bucks each after the new year! Good timing
