No, the simple answer is just no.

Amen to that!

The new socket/ratchet set showed up today. I was expecting it tomorrow, but when the shipping/receiving lady came walking my way with a big smile, I knew it came early.
I got the installer's set too, the imperial version. I've been looking at them for a while and pulled the trigger on both at once and Hartville Hardware was so nice that they sent me a little Summer 22 buyers guide booklet along with it. So nice of them to encourage me

Sold my CT26 to a friend of mine and used the proceeds to help pay for a CT Midi and a CXS off of festoolrecon.






Also just got this zero clearance insert from Betterley for my kapex.

Going to put it all to work tomorrow!

Surprised me that they didn't bump that one to a Sys³ 137 
Like the RTS 400; Used to be in Systainer Classic I, then in T-Loc 1, then in T-Loc 2 and now in Sys³ M 187. I'm not exactly sure why the box had to be 70mm higher than 15 years ago for what is basicly the same sander. Oh wait... they made a single inlay for RTS, DTS, ETS. Just as they did with the sandpaper Systainer inlay; more wasted space! That fits right with the competition (Bosch L-Boxx inlays), but it used to be... superior product for higher price.

So stupid with the handle sticking out. All hail Bott!

How does your Midi behave? If you put it manual on, then attach a machine to CT outlet, run attached machine, stop attached machine... does the vac keep running or not?

Why would you swap from a CT26 to a Midi? I can see not buying the bigger one in the fir$t place, but once you have it?
Just because it is smaller and more portable? or that it has held it's value enough to get enough money back out of it?

If you need to be mobile, the Midi is a lot easier than the 26. Especially if the 26 has a full bag.

That the Midi has Bluetooth built-in might be one reason. I recently picked up a CT26 to park in my shop, dedicating the Midi to site use. The BT module/button upgrade was a must. Somewhat relatedly, I didn't notice much of a bump in suction. They're both great vacuums, so this seems like a good swap to me.   

Finally got the undulating head and fine head for the hl850 planer. I have all three now so I am golden. But I'm still waiting on a couple more items for the df700. I wish I had seen Cheese's post sooner as I was up in the cities and might have had time to pop in and see what was left at the store.

You can add BT to a 26.

Yeah, I did that so long ago, I forgot it was an add-on.

My original reason for asking was that it seemed like a lateral move? unless there was a specific reason like a space constraint that changed, like a new van with a different interior layout.
The suction is effectively the same on all of them, the differences are about capacity and details like auto-clean and bluetooth etc

I used to have a shop I worked out of and used the ct26 in the shop. Now I’m 90% mobile working out of a company van. I set up on one of our sites and I’m there anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple of months. Occasionally I work in our shop. I have a ct Sys, a mini and now the midi, The three of them fit in my van with all my other tools, the ct26 just took up too much space. I use long life bags is all three of them,  cheaper in the long run because I empty them all several times a week. I think all the dust extractors have pretty much the same amount of suction so the model doesn’t matter when it comes to performance.

Interesting the inlay still shows what appears to be a vac sys accessory  .

Plenty of space in that new systainer for spare belts! More so than in the classic version that's for sure.

A BS 75 with the frame (E-Set). I don't have the space for a drum sander, but wanted a non-manual alternative to my Veritas jointer plane to flatten large panels. I have seen lots of people mention this machine as very good for that purpose. Can't wait to put it to work.

I'm quite impressed with the quality of the festool belts, just need to keep an eye on the price!

Re the vac-sys, was referring to the little photo on the lid cardboard inlay. It was discontinued.. we live in hope that was just temporary.

Thanks Michael for confirming that. Festool's finest grid (P150) seemed to be too coarse to me, but P600 seemed to be bordering on madness.     I was thinking of P180 and/or P240 and was doubting P320.

Taxes, no cancer but a lot of wallet pain. :-)

Plus a ban on gas lawn equipment ,
And by 2035, no more new cars or trucks that are not electric .
No matter, in about a year, this place is in the rear view .

I got the Centrotech bit set came today. It will go along with the longer bit holder and the manual driver handle that I got a week or so ago.

I also ordered the Shaper Plate a few days ago. Got the Email today saying that it won't ship until Nov 4th though.
