Just ordered a EHL 65 with some extra knives and accessories & a AGC 18-125 full set. (Highest inflation figures in decades made me do this, I swear…).

And more huge investment from me, too.

5-packs of filter bags for my CTL26 and CTL-SYS, a 5m coil of replacement splinterguard strip for my rails, plus a pack of green TS55 splinterguard shoes.

The new MFT clamping set came today. As has been stated by at least a few members, they are tight! They may be fine in an actual MFT, but in my custom table (drilled with the Parf system) the fit is too tight. I don't really know what I was expecting, the shafts are not only steel, but they have ridges going around them. They are not deep, but enough to not be smooth. I would assume that this is supposed to help with holding, so they don't slip?

Nothing about the OF1010 yet, even though it was ordered first?

Pictures? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sure, I have one anyway.

TKS 80 better than expected !

Ah! You made the decision then. Enjoy it!

Yes I did Paul based on sending it back if I didn’t like it and purchasing an Erika however because of the way I need to use the saw decided it was worth trying .
To be fair once setup it is pretty accurate the stopper fence adjusts well and is accurate as is the mitre slid the extension tables slot together well . The one item I may well sell on is the sliding table it’s ok but very limited!. Still for what it is it is a good saw , and fits in well with my ks 120 and mafell rail saws .

I ordered one of the last Vac-Sys SE 2’s available this side of the big pond. I didn’t fancy waiting any longer and having to try to find one after they’ve all been bought up.

Want to trade for my EHL 65 without Plug-It + $$?

. Keep the dust exhaust on the right side btw. You can change it over to left, but DC won't work as good then, because the machine ejects everything to the right side by default.

I love having Plug-It, so…

. My main purpose for the EHL is prepping rough sawn boards for planing on my A3 31. IOW knock of the highpoint and get on with it.

Coen · « **Reply #2226 on:** April 03, 2022, 03:24 PM »

Yes me too. Sadly the EHL only came out with Plug It after I bought it.

I did buy a conversion kit, but that would result in a heavy block in the cable behind the machine, so I never implemented it.

I just received CT-VA Cyclone Retrofit Strap Kit, and Guide Rail Angle Stop FS-WA from Toolnut. Still waiting for Guide Rail Angle Stop Extension FS-WA-VL. Wish Toolnut would notify when items are delayed in shipping on same order...other than that service is outstanding and has been for many years.

My new 1010 router is here! Ordered from Tool Nirvana, received last week, opened today. Tried to register it on Festool USA site, but received an error that the tool number doesn’t exist. I reached out to them about it.

Anyway, it’s here!

I just bought a DF700, 500, TS55, TS75, CT26, CT36, ETS etc. etc. Fact: None of them, because of no photo proof!

Agreed. People should share their toys and joy with photos, esp. when the toys are not Festool brand.

I backordered a ETS EC 150/5 today. Says it will ship in August but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes longer.

I bought the ETS EC 150/5 today. Looking forward to use the Sander.

HK85, 420 fsk rail and extra 18t, 24t and 48t blade. First impressions are good. The blade seems to have more lateral play than my other saws but it is too soon for conclusions as I have only done a few test cuts.

Not today, last Friday I got a couple of things.
First was an edge guide for the OF1010F. I got it mostly because I found out how handy a second one was. I had two for the OF1400, back before it was destroyed. I figured that it might be better for the smaller/lighter machine, since it is more friendly on the edges of narrow material.
Then I got a second backing pad for the RAS115. It is the softer version. I thought I would try it to see how different it acts when smoothing/leveling mis-aligned surfaces?
I also wonder if (or how long) these will be available for a discontinued tool?
I also got a 2-pack of #1 Robertson bits with the Centrotec shank. We have gotten some hardware that uses this size lately, so now I can use the CSX without an adaptor and insert type bit.

One of the new cleaning sets I posted about before ; the #577258. I left my (old style) D36 hose at the other side of the country, so I bought this new set to get a new D36 hose. Because I modded my Metabo wall chaser so it would accept the D36 hose, but that mod also involved removing compatibility with the D27 hose. And wall chasing without dust extraction is definitely a no-go.

First impression; my wall chaser mod is awesome, way way less dust escaped compared to using it with the D27 hose.

The hose itself; awesome. It's so nice and flexible. Even when brand-new.

The new floor piece; meh. It's angle is too low, so the 3-piece tube set is simply too short for me.

The new Systainer; bad tough-locking handle, no cards on the side and it's supersized... previously this set sold in a Sys-IV (322 mm), now it's comes a Sys³ M437! The hose doesfit in a lot quicker.... It also comes without inlay but does contain a thin foam mat. Box does seem somewhat sturdier, but with the wasted space... it's hard to make a heavy stack before it becomes too high to pick up...

Not sure if I'm gonna keep the hose in that thing or let the hose be free and store my caulk in the Systainer.

Also bought a Systainer³ L137 to store my Bosch GCG 18v-310.

Also got another Festool #498527, because it's too nice to not have a spare.

I don't know if I posted this before; but now the CTL-26 also has it's new top

I don't keep the 36mm hose in the Systainer either, but the rest of the parts are in there.
No insert? The tubes and brushes just lay in the bottom, loose?

Euh, yes. The floorprice came with some cardboard inside a plastic bag, the rest was just kinda dumped in there. The hose was tied up in a coil parallel to the front.

This was how it looked after opening the Systainer the first time;
