to the forum!

Looks like you stumbled on to a great deal. Unfortunately, it is the beginning of a long downward spiral into the Green Koolaid!

You will be amazingly surprised at how your efficiency will massively improve!

Welcome to the addiction! Resistance is futile!

Cheers,
Frank

Oh I'm sure of that, I've always hated using a biscuit joiner so I've had the Domino on my wish list for a long time. I've been using a Grizzly track saw for the past few months and love it but I managed to snag the TS 55 with everything for not much more than what the 118" rail retails for. Once my wife forgets how much I spent at this auction I'll probably pick up a 125 EQ and a CT next. I really wanted the MIDI they had at the auction but it went for $50-$60 less than a brand new one.

Well I tried to buy a Festool but it was NAINA. Looked at Mafell and chocked on the price. But for less than $400 I can cut up to 12" Got all the stuff and put it together today:

I am new to Festool and this forum, and have gone kinda crazy with it in the last couple of weeks. My latest is a new CXS, which I picked up at Woodcraft last Thursday. I has the 2.6AH batteries and a Jacobs chuck which now goes to 3/8"/10mm. What a nice little drill!

A 48 tooth TS-55 blade, thats what happens when you wait to long to send blades out to be sharpened. Packed and shipped 19 blades to Leitz for service today. Order 2 Kapex blades from Tom-------overnighted.

Good to know the take bulk orders, I only have a half dozen, well maybe a dozen...

The items I ordered the other day would make most cringe. Most are due here tomorrow also, the rest has to wait for July 1 to ship.

Did you get the conturo?

No, not this time.

A lot of little things on my add/fix/need list,

TSC, PDC, Cordless Carvex (all sets), from Tom.

A set of phenolic straight edges with corners.

The 2200 and bits that were offer in the classified.

Had 2 specialty Kapex blades over nighted, they arrived today. Need to plan better.

I did keep it under a 10K Friday (barley).

The Conturo has been moved to next in line.

Oh yah, I dropped something one of my 1400 rails today, dented and bent the C channel, had to change the TCS to with rail.

Did I ever mention I love my wife

Good thing my neighbors love me, had a semi, UPS and FedEX here all at the same time. Street was unappeasable.

I had a Prazi for years, I used it to do timber framing and stress skin panel work, these saws are monsters, I think you will be really happy with this add-on. B

TS55 with an additional 75" rail, connectors
2 MFT tables, one with goodies, one without, connectors

I THINK that's it.

HoustonJames · « **Reply #167 on:** June 13, 2015, 11:46 PM »

Oh wait, I forgot my Kreg complete router table (stand, top, newest fence), and a shut off switch for it. (Forgot to add this to other list because I already received this stuff yesterday)

A systainer 1, the one with all the small colorful boxes inside.
Will use the small boxes in my drill systainers to keep bits and pieces.

Henrik R / Pingvinlakrits · « **Reply #175 on:** June 17, 2015, 02:21 PM »

This month I poured a crate of Festool Koolaid all over the wallet and ended up getting the updated EHL65, another OFK500, a trimming attachment for the CS50 table saw, bought a bunch of drills, a MIDI systainer and just as I though I was bled dry the local pusher literally ran after me and told me they were selling out the T12+3 and C12 sets at less than HALF the price (!) and he thought of me when he put the stickers up that morning.

= two more boxes loaded into the car. All this on my first day on vacation.

Soggo · « **Reply #176 on:** June 17, 2015, 04:20 PM »
