First Festool Purchase
Well, I broke down and did it!
I picked up a TS 55 EQ Plus with the 4' rail and the 8'rail Can't wait to try it out. This is an excelent system for sure! I have a lot of cabinets to make over the next few weeks and thought; if there was ever a time that I could use this thing, it is now.

Re: First Festool Purchase
I just bought a Grex but have yet had the will to purchase a Festool. Maybe for X-mas.

Re: First Festool Purchase
I would say my 55, rails and CT are my favorite Festools, but my C12 drill is sweet and the sanders and the, and and
That tool will make your life so much easier than you ever thought possible. Be carefull, because now you have stared down the slope, see you at the bottom!! |

Ahhh...you don't need that thing... Sal only bought a TS55 cuz he saw mine. Festool is like crack; once you get a whiff, you're hooked. PS: Just don't drop the saw onto a concrete floor because the housing will crack where the anti-splinter screw goes in. Don't ask me how I know....

Re: First Festool Purchase
Uh-huh, hell I just spent 240.00 so I could get another hose, but of course I had to buy the cleaning kit it only made sense, then some more sandpaper, and another tool clip, I really needed the handle for the CT and a few empty systainers, and the... oh lord I need to go back to a meeting!!!
That sucks Greg, how much was the part to fix it? Out of sure curiosity. My poor C12 is beat up after 3 months, but I love that thing!! Jason, that saw will let you do things you never thought possible. HAVE FUN!!! |

That sucks Greg, how much was the part to fix it? Out of sure curiosity. I actually didn't need to get a part (yet). I got a stress crack right where you screw in the green antisplinter thingy. I was able to pop the metal back in line and everything seems to be OK. I sure was pissed though!

Re: First Festool PurchaseQuote:
dam tools will be the death of me. i just moved my warehouse and garage into a smaller warehouse this weekend and let me tell you i have WAY too much crack... i mean tools ![]() also i am still not sold on the domino for my work just yet. i do like thier routers though. although at their cost i think i may buy a few lesser quality routers and set each one up with different bits so i don't have to change bits as often. after all isn't that how norm does it. ![]() one thing that i definatly took greg's advice on (pat your self on the back |

Re: First Festool Purchase
Thanks Sal,
I'll look into those vacs. I think I need a few for other equipment as well. We're working with mostly redwood and cedar now so I have to keep the air clean as possible. Both can make you pretty sick with too much exposure.

Re: First Festool Purchase
I see the split alot with the CT/Fien vacs. I never used the fien, looked at one when I got my CT22, I just liked the fact that the systainers could be latched on top for a nice rolling tool shuttle. Good luck in your choice but I vote for a CT-22. and a hose garage and a handle and a boom arm and a mft/3 and some clamps and another rail and some connectors.... got to go to another meeting.
