Im not sure if this is the right folder for this. Ive seen this sort of thread in other forums ad thought it would be cool to do here and see if you guys think the same.

I just bought a replacement hose garage for my CT 26 and a Long life bag for it. I got tired of messing around trying to empty the regular bags in the middle of a project. The hose garage, wel lets say I had a ooopps see and cracked.it. Tried to repair it but it didnt work. So I bought a new one.

Ron - I think more US based FOG users will have a better answer for this question come Monday Dec 1, when the next round of tools and accessories is released here

Hehehehehe well Jeff,

We're almost there. Good timeing huh?

If everyone is like me, they are buying bits and pieces all the time.

I changed to title to "What Tool Did You Buy Today". We are always buying other manuf. tools to supplement our festools so maybe that would be more appropriate.

So How was your T day?

I bought a 2700 (114" roughly) guide rail yesterday it seemed really cheap at £143.
Almost took the domino systainer with the 456and 8mm bits but choked and didn't pull the trigger.

SittingElf · « **Reply #6 on:** November 30, 2014, 02:19 PM »

Systainer 2 from Amazon came with the mail (They deliver on Sunday via FedEx to USPS.)

This empty systainer was for the Router Bit Insert so courteously sent to me by Slartibartfass who didn't need the one he had. THANK YOU!

Also got some needle size plastic tips for my CA glue dispensers. Great for inlay work and repairs of very small items! (Still fixing damage to a number of things from our household goods shipment from Germany)

Cheers,

Frank

Well, technically no Festool purchase "today" but the other day I ordered the Festool shop apron that comes in a mini Systainer, and decided to order the Festool tape measure as well.

My wife and I are trying to go a little easy on the expenditures right now, which is kind of crazy right before Christmas. This year has given us double whammy on expenditures. We booked a Viking Rhine River Getaway cruise for next April, back in the summer, and our youngest daughter just got engaged, and the wedding is planned for July. I am already writing big checks for that event.

It may be time to start buying lottery tickets again ...

Not sure what ethnicity you are, but I would like to be apart of your family if you're paying for weddings.

I'm not getting married till 2016, but next year, the planning starts, and in my culture (Vietnamese background), the guy pays for everything and it blows! Thank god my girlfriend is low maintenance and as said earlier, she got me a Festool T18 for our anniversary. I'm hopefully going to seal the deal for $30,000. Her higher maintenance older sister got married 2 years ago and the wedding cost $85,000. What a sucker.

I think the Vietnamese tradition is indeed a good one! Our oldest daughter is married, but she was quite frugal (and still is). Total cost was about $5K. Younger daughter has more expensive tastes, but she knows she cannot go wild. Maybe booking that Rhine River cruise was good way to set expectations that we would have to be a little tighter on budgets. I'm guessing $15K or so. I cannot imagine spending $85K on a wedding!

I got a Vecturo set today. I really struggled between it and the new Multimaster, but the Vecturo won simply because it comes in a systainer. Systainers are very bittersweet indeed.

neeleman · « **Reply #24 on:** December 01, 2014, 11:59 AM »

The Fein SuperCut can also be purchased in a T-Loc systainer these days.
But I think you are already aware of that?
But alas the Fein has no DF version and is a SYS 1, which is a little tight.
I especially like the DF version for storing sawblades.
But the plunge-base and depth stop which include the Vecturo Set wins hands down.
Cheapest SuperCut version is €439 and the Vecturo Set version is €515. The difference is only €76.
Although I'm a big Fein fan I would also go for the Vecturo Set version.
I once read a rumour on the FOG that the SuperCut would also be upgraded and that's the reason they are now offered in a T-Loc systainer.

That's the trouble I think like that , I bought the Trion jigsaw even though I had a perfectly good Bosch ,just as it was "part of the system"

I had a go of the vecturo recently and I'm afraid I thought the new multimaster was better. Maybe after a longer play with one I might change my mind but after using them both the multimaster felt quicker ,quieter and had much less vibration.

Yeah the attachments for the vecturo and the plug-it will help sell it I'm sure.

The ONLY actual Festool item I got during the sale period was a Systainer 2 for the routing insert I now have.

Other purchases during the sale period (some on special, others not):

Parf Dogs and the small dogs (Lee Valley)
DomiPlates for my XL (Seneca on sale)
Veritas Flush cutting saw (Lee Valley on sale)
Two Super fridge magnets (Lee Valley on sale)
MFT-SP clamps from an angel on FOG (great price for new ones!)
Festool Apron in a mini-sys (ToolNut)

Monday I went to a retiring woodworker's house for a silent auction. He moved to a care facility, so was selling everything.
Scored the following:

*Six-piece set of 2-Cherries gouges in near perfect, hardly used condition - $20
*Three Piece set of brand new Craftsman Chisels - $5
*Eight graduated sized, collectable Stanley and Dunlap (all made in USA) Hand Planes AND including a brand-new, unused Veritas Mk.II Honing Guide. Total price $35!
* 140 Back issues of Fine Woodworking, Shop Notes, Woodsmith, American Woodturner magazines - $10

There was some absolutely fabulous cherry lumber there, most boards 16ft and as wide as 16", but like an idiot, I had taken the small car and they wanted it out immediately, so I had to just look and wish.

Guy that did buy it all got an incredible steal. (about 400BF for less than $200)

So, my sale week went well, and I'm off to Nigeria on Friday until the middle of January. Yuck!

Some Festool dealers will be pleased to hear from me around Feb 1st. I've got more green I plan to acquire then!

Cheers,

Frank

Only my T15 wouldn't fit, no matter how many ways I tried to configure them. It rests comfortably on top which is actually fine since I use that drill more than any other tool I have. Might at some point have to get a 500 and then a few more things to fill that up!

Okay guys. What I'm about to tell you is a little....NO....it's embarrassing! This happened this past Tuesday by the way.

Last week I bought two T-loc systainers off eBay. No big deal, right?

So, I get home Monday (December 15,2014) and I see a small package at my door. I was a little unsure what it could be.

I knew the two systainers where coming soon, but thought the package was TOO SMALL for two sys-1's.

I open up the box, it freakin' TWO MINI SYS!!!

I quickly check my eBay profile, checked the listing and sure enough......the seller listed the dimensions of the systainers....not the size.

Now, I thought I bought two sys-1's at a great price! Turns out, I bought two mini's at a not so great price.

I know, my fault for not reading the full description of the listing. But I didn't want to let two "sys-1's" get away so cheap, I hurried with the "buy now" button.

Lesson learned, trust me. I will read the description more then once! And try to control my buying happy fingers. LOL

Okay guys. What I'm about to tell you is a little....NO....it's embarrassing! This happened this past Tuesday by the way.

Last week I bought two T-loc systainers off eBay. No big deal, right?

So, I get home Monday (December 15,2014) and I see a small package at my door. I was a little unsure what it could be.

I knew the two systainers where coming soon, but thought the package was TOO SMALL for two sys-1's.

I open up the box, it freakin' TWO MINI SYS!!!

I quickly check my eBay profile, checked the listing and sure enough......the seller listed the dimensions of the systainers....not the size.

Now, I thought I bought two sys-1's at a great price! Turns out, I bought two mini's at a not so great price.

I know, my fault for not reading the full description of the listing. But I didn't want to let two "sys-1's" get away so cheap, I hurried with the "buy now" button.

Lesson learned, trust me. I will read the description more then once! And try to control my buying happy fingers. LOL

Eric

Hey Eric
you think that was a deal, I found another one just for you......

you too can have a "brand new? " set of clamping element for a very special "erock" price LOL
eBay is not always spot on......I'll stick with the folks I know and have known for many years

I try to stay with the folks I know Bob and Tom ,Sean Aldo etc and Tool Fest (UK). I figure if the guy comes here and supports us, we should support him.
But thats just me.

Im looking hard at one of those Multi functional stools to set my Work Center on....

To Buy Or Not To Buy, that is the questtion... whether it is nobler in the minds of men to suffer the outragious fortune of spending my quid on a prebuilt or spend the time and money on building my own...

I wonder if Shakesphere used festools?

hi i am new to the forum, but not new to woodworking. i have owned and operated a factory and custom cabinet shop for 37 years. the shop was destroyed in a fire in feb 2013, and now i am getting myself equipped with new toys. an mft3, a ts55, an of 1400, the 55 in. holie track and the 118 track. the lr 32 hole drilling jig. the 36 vac, a bunch of clamps for the table. the work table went together really easily ( i watched several of your videos on u tube). was square on first setup. checked with square and by the german technology of trimming a board on all 4 sides and rotating it then checking your diagonal measurement. absolutely square. I do have to say this the ts55 is very easy to operate, but never kid yourselves i owned a Holzma EL 60 automatic panel saw that i purchased in 1985, it was a tank and nothing is easier than just pushing a button and letting it do all the work for you. lol

Ok So I Went and got the brad point drills which are in true festools fashion very good. then I got bugged after taking my work Center off my CT 22 to empty the bag.. So I went and ordered the MFH multi functional stool.

I can tell Ya the, that stool is very well made.

Its got some weight to it and the casters are top lot. Very good. Now my WC is rolling nice and easy plus I got the additional storage which is a plus.

I was a little apprehensive spending that much on a stool. But I tell Ya I'm happy with it. It will make my life easier. I won't loose any shop space because now I can hide my CT under my MFT and CMS.

Then since I was on a roll, I also got the HSX that I can hook my CT . I got the size that I can use the paper from my DTS 400 up to along with some foam backed sand paper. The foam back sand paper is one of Festools best kept secrets...

well.....

i "bought" a kapex ug set and an of1010 set on the 14th march. i thought id bought them anyway.

im still waiting for delivery. i wasnt advised itd take this long.

the shop was a part of a chain of stores in the uk. they had an opening offer of 10% off and they had price matched other places so it was a good price.

they told me id be waiting no more than 2 weeks.

a day later i realised they had charged me too much because the rep gave the store manager the wrong code. i basically got charged £75 too much.

he corrected the order

then i received the of1010 set.

it was 240v id asked for 110v and on the original order it was 110v. on the second order to correct the price it was changed to 240v.

i sent it back.

so almost a month later all i have is a 800mm guide rail.

does it normally take this amount of time to receive stuff?

jobsworth · « **Reply #76 on:** April 08, 2015, 04:43 PM »

I'd cancel the order send their stuff back to them.

Then go with N&B.

That's who I got the stool from.

I called them yesterday, told them I'll need the stool by close of business today.

I got it about 1430 this afternoon.

No worries.

Bought a Tanos Systainer 2 / attic from Lee Valley. Never bought from them before so I hope they are reputable. Want to take the attic lid and install it on my Sys 1 that holds my CXS for my drill bits.

I did the same thing for my CXS, and went to switch lids with a MFT systainer sys 1 but found that the CXS , the lid hits the charger and will not close.This is not really a problem, the sys 2 with the extras I carry with the drill, its nice to have extra room.
I have found Lee Valley to be a very reputable company

Yes. Festool has reduced the price of 4.2amp 18V batteries to $40.00. New price and available everywhere.

Also the TCL3 charger is now $65.00. Both items are a significant price reduction for 2015. Not a time-limited sale.

Stock up!

Alright my last one was really really cheap...but still works like Festool.
I bought the little sanding block with Velcro attached paper.
Nothing to it but I have to say it's the first one I grab for to break an edge, clean out a dado, whatever. It's rigid and just the right size, has a thin "tongue" which is great for getting in dados, and up close - it just works. I think it was less than $15.

At the 3HP level, was there a reason you went with the ICS vs the PCS? I'm actually surprised that SawStop even offers the 3HP on the ICS. I'm selling my 3HP PCS soon and upping to a 5HP 1-phase ICS. It just made sense to me to have the bigger power with the bigger saw....and there's no way I could justify 3-phase power for the even bigger motors.

Not being critical, just wondering what your parameters were for purchase...

Nonetheless, if you haven't owned a SawStop before, you are in for the treat of your life!

copcarcollector · « **Reply #108 on:** April 25, 2015, 05:12 PM »

Frank - I went with the ICS as it is beefier, seems a bit more rugged. 52" fence, mobile base and dust arm as well.

I went with 3HP as the people I talked about it with said they had various brands 3HP saws and had never had an issue, or wished for more power. The 5HP would have meant a breaker change, not a big deal at all but had to draw the line somewhere on the cost! Also had to pay sales tax and ridiculous shipping cost. The 3 vs 5HP is only a $400 difference, but I think the 3HP will serve my needs just fine. And from what I understand Saw Stop will sell a higher HP motor as an add on if I ever do need it...

They have a demo saw at the store in Reno, so I got to play with it a little, and they offer a short training session as well for purchasers.

Looking forward to getting my new toy!

Came time to put the beast into the shop come evening (I had placed it on our patio when I got home) and promptly put the end of the rail into the patio ceiling fan, then almost knocked out the back door window entering the shop...

So i sold my T15 & Ti15 as i wanted to condense my battery voltages to Festool 18v and the 10.8v

So after the sale i went and bought the new TXS as a replacement for my T15. I have only used the T15 for light to medium work so felt the TXS would handle it. The Choice to go the TXS was also a way of adding some batteries as back ups for my CSX if needed.

All heavy cutting drilling for me is done with the DRC18 and BHC18

As for the Ti15 that was replaced by a Milwaukee Impact as i already had a selection of other 18v Milwaukee tools.

Well, last week I made my first every Festool purchases, some systainers: 1 x SYS Mini, 1 x SYS 1 Box, 1 x SYS 3, 1 x SYS 4

Today I ordered 10 x SYS Mini. I haven't quite determined how I will use them all, but know a bunch of them will be used for screw/nail organization. 2 of the 11 will be used for my GoPro stuff, but may need 3.

I'm expecting to pickup a used RO150 from someone locally, perhaps today, assuming it checks out as advertised, that would be my first official tool purchase. Then I need to get a CT to go with it....

Well, I've just placed an order for an MFT/3.
I've been on the fence about getting one for a few years now but taking the plunge now. I've made do with my rather traditional workbench for some time and served me well but with its own limitations. It's a lot of money for a table and short rail, so I'm sure hoping it will get a lot of use.
I'm a bit anxious over whether I should have spent the money on that or something else....like a nice Jointer instead.

Today I received/bought absolutely doodly squat.

But yesterday, I received my parallel guides from Precision Dogs. I intend to assemble and use them this holiday weekend to see how they compare to the Festool guides.

I guess I might as well do the same with the Incra/Seneca set I've had for several months still sitting unassembled and unused.

I think it will be nice to have one set hooked up to my FS3000 rail and the other set available for cross-cutting perhaps, or one set of guides set up with longer guides, the other with shorter guides.

Which will leave one set to put up for sale. That will leave me a few days to decide if I like either/both the Precision Dogs and/or Seneca guides, or if I should once again look at the Woodpeckers OTT guides.

@tjbnwi What is the cost per blade for resharpening

tjbnwi · « **Reply #145 on:** May 26, 2015, 09:25 PM »

@TheTrooper;

This was my previous sharpening list. Their receipt does not break down cost per item. The total cost with shipping to and from Grand Rapids via UPS was $100.00.

To whom it may concern,

Enclosed you will find;

1- Festool 19 mm straight flute router bit

6- Festool 48 tooth saw blades for the TS-55

1- Festool 60 tooth saw blade for the Kaoex

Please sharpen and return them to the address shown above and below. I would really appreciate if you could return them in the original sleeves as I have shipped them. I store my blades hanging from the sleeve.

I was cutting cement board with one of the blades, hopefully it is salvageable.

I will be paying the invoice via credit card. My phone number is in the address blocks.

Thank you,

Tom

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a while learning a lot. I've had the TS55 and CT Midi for a couple months now and I was instantly hooked to Festool. I pulled the trigger the other night on the OF 1400 and an ETS 150/3 from Bob. Can't wait to get them! Looking at getting the Domino 500 pretty quick as well.

It never ends!

arussell0027 · « **Reply #148 on:** May 27, 2015, 11:19 AM »

I've checked out this site several times over the past few months but was finally able to purchase some Festool products this past week. Had a local cabinet shop go out of business and auction off their equipment. They had tons of machinery, tools, and lumber so of course I ended up spending more than I expected but picked up the following tools:

Rotex with a couple of boxes of 220 grit pads
TS 55 EQ Track Saw with 55" and 118" rails, 3 clamps, and 3 extra blades
Domino 500Q
Systainer for Dominos and two additional 500 count boxes of size 8 and 10 dominos.

They had several ETS 125-EQ sanders and a MIDI but the price on those was close enough to retail pricing that I would rather pay a little extra and get it new even though the tools probably would've still been worth it. Everything in the shop was in great condition and you could tell the guys that had it took care of everything. The rails I got with the track saw even came in a poplar box they made to protect them from getting dinged up or bent.

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.

I have used "just the 700" for years. I really like it in all aspects. The adapter is great and for box work I mainly stick to 5 and 6mm bits. It hasn't steered me wrong yet!

I would say that the only complex task is if you have to make a mortise in the field of a panel (to attach a shelf/etc). It takes a little more thinking and if you do it enough, you will come up with some jigs to make it easier.

I love the heft of the machine and how smooth it all works.

If you do a lot of mixed work (doing 5 & 6mm work plus some 10mm work) on a single project, then a single 700 might become a PITA pretty quick. If not, it is a great medium without any real compromises.

Oh, and if you mostly do 4mm stuff, stick with a 500.

Cheers. Bryan.

I had both a DF500 and a DF700XL until I got the Seneca Adapter and Domishims, now all I have is the DF700XL.

I use it for everything and even use a lot of the 4mm Dominos with it with no issues, just plunge very slowly. As the 4mm cutter is quite a bit shorter than the other DF500 cutters you need to set the cut to 20mm plunge depth to get a 10mm deep hole for the 4mm Domino.

Picked up a domino xl700 and all 3 domino boxes today and ordered the Seneca imperial thickness gauge + shim and the d500 cutter adaptor which should arrive early next week

I would be interested how you get on with the adaptor, I purchased the 700 a couple of weeks ago , I also have the 500 and I am curious how many 700 owners get by with just the 700.

Thanks.

I had both a DF500 and a DF700XL until I got the Seneca Adapter and Domishims, now all I have is the DF700XL.

I use it for everything and even use a lot of the 4mm Dominos with it with no issues, just plunge very slowly. As the 4mm cutter is quite a bit shorter than the other DF500 cutters you need to set the cut to 20mm plunge depth to get a 10mm deep hole for the 4mm Domino.

Do you buy these adaptors direct from the usa or any dealer in the uk.

didn't get it quite today, a few weeks ago, actually, the Syslite Uni. Never thought I would pay over a $100 for a flashlight when you include the battery but it's well worth it. Had to do some work under the kitchen sink and it cast great light onto the subject. My wife even lets me keep in the kitchen pantry!
