The RS 400 is excellent, but I wouldn't buy the related abrasives systainer as it is too inefficient is storing your supplies.  Instead, buy an empty Systainer 2 and build the insert shown in the post by SRSemenza in this thread:

http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tool-reviews/ls130-ls-130-eq-review-duplex/

Of all my abrasives systainers, this is by far the most useful.  The LS 130 and RS 400 use the same abrasives.

The list looks like a great start overall. A couple things I would suggest.
- I wouldn't bother with an extra Sys for jigsaw blades. The Sys the jigsaw comes in has plenty of room for lots of blades
- I have and like the FS acc kit. A number of people have mentioned they aren't too impressed with it. I also don't use it much but when I do I'm glad to have it. I think its one of those accessories that can probably wait a bit. Maybe until there's a 10% deal or ebay.
Good luck and have fun shopping. Markus

Seems like a practical list. I wouldn't bother with the RTS400 and get the DTS400 instead. Well, I say "I wouldn't", but I did, so I'm speaking from experience. First got me the RTS and later the DTS, well, the RTS is hardly used now and the DTS gets all the work. The DTS is SOOO much nicer.

Welcome to the FOG, nice to see another Dutch fella.  Smile

Holzhacker:  I think the "SYS Tloc uni (extra)  for jigsaw saws" is the accessory and base kit for the Carvex.


Kapex 120 EB                    -- As much as I'd love to own one, my personal opinion is:  get a high quality non-Festool miter saw, and use the
                                              money towards a MFT (package with the TS55)
TS55 EBQ PLUS FS             -- Yes!  Buy it with a MFT package.
PS 400 EBQ PLUS              -- Yes!
CTL 26 E                            -- Yes yes and yes!   Buy it in combo with the jigsaw or a sander.
MFK 700 EQ PLUS              --  OF1010 would be a better choice for all around router.  But if our heart is set on the MFK, it's sweet.
RTS 400 EQ PLUS               -- Go for an ETS or ideally a Rotex sander instead.

acc.

FIS CT 26              Filterbag                          -- Definitely going to need these.  Get at least 5.
D 36 HW RS Plus   dust extraction kit           -- Sure, why not.  But, you might think about getting the cleaning parts separately and getting the
                                                                         CT Top-Mount Accessory Storage.  Skip the extra Systainer and hose (vac comes with one, right?
SB CT 26 36           pusher                            -- Huh?  Is this the CT handle?
FS sys/2                FS acc. kit                        -- Skip it.  You can buy the clamps and such separately, and the angle guide is not very useful
                                                                                      (because it isn't very good).
FS BAG                  the smallest FS bag        -- A good idea, but not a necessity.
FS 1400/2              just one extra                -- A great idea, and a necessity.  ;-)
SYS Tloc uni (extra)  for jigsaw saws           -- Sure if you think you'll use all those things.  99.99% of my jigsaw use is the stock base, etc.
SP / TS 55/5         splinterguard for ts 55 (green thingies):  Wait to buy these.  They last a long, long time.
FS rsp                    stopblock for TS55 with FS  -- What is this?  Chances are it's the rail stop thing, and I think the TS55 comes with one.
HW s8 D 18,7 r3 routing bit                         -- Edge trimming bit?

Since I consider myself very inexperienced, I'm not going to give you advice on how to spend your hard earned cash. However, some general points to consider when giving/taking advice.

This is a worldwide forum. The OP Doesn't live in the US, not everything is like it is in the US, 2 examples: In EU we don't get the package deals, we get 2 promotions/year, most of the time this is a tool + free acc. The fall promotion just ended. In Belgium, the TS doesn't come with the stop block, I suppose this is the same in NL

Mark

I'm just starting a wood working business and i already have a lot bosch prof  stuff. But the quality of it let's me down, so i'm investing in
tools i still need, and some to replace the faulty one's. I'm convinced i really need the kapex, and i have thought about buying the 88 but then I
say, it's still a lot of $ so just 250 more and i got the supreme one..

also the ts 55, ps 400 and ctl 26 e i'm pretty sure about. I'm just wondering about the sander and a good edge router. i own a bosch prof gex 125 ae and it just has
to pay back the cash for some time. So a maybe the DTS 400 EQ and the OFK 500 Q plus.

OK I said I wouldn't give you any advice, but... If I'm not mistaken, the OFK only accepts special Festool bits, wich only exist in a very limited nr of profiles. If you want a Festoor edge router, the MFK 700 is the only way to go in my eyes. I'm thinking about a new router too, and looking in to the different offerings.

In general, I would get the accessories as the need arises.

My list of the 6 essential festools would read TS55, Domino, Rotex, MFT, OF 1400 router, CT dust extractor. I have others but these are the workhorses of the shop.

All the best and Welcome.

If you are only going for one router I would suggest you go for the OF1400 to start with. This will take the range of router bits 1/2", 8mm, & 1/4".

I have the OF2200 for REALLY heavy stuff and the OF1010 for really delicate stuff, and the OF1400 is midway and a good starting point.

If you do a lot of hardwood lipping/edgebanding then the MFK 700 is still worth considering.

If you are even considering the LR-32 system, Get the FS 1400/2-LR32 Guide Rails with the holes.
They are only $1.00 more.

If you are swapping out the DTS 400 for the RTS 400 and if you switched the abrasive systainer to the Systainer 2 to build a vertically oriented abrasives holder, then you now need to replace the Systainer 2 with a Systainer 3 as the DTS 400 abrasives are longer (higher) and will not fit vertically in a Systainer 2.  I recently bought the DTS 400 and have a Systainer 3 on order for this purpose but have not been able to test if this will also be an excellent solution.

Not in Europe they're not. In the UK for example, the FS1400/2 is £73.08 (approx. $113.83).

The FS1400/2-LR32 (with the holes) is £89.52 (approx. $139.44), a premium over the standard rail of around 22.5%.

I think that is a wise decision indeed. Or, as somebody suggested the OF1400. A normal router is so much more versatile than an edging router like the MFK700 or the OFK500.

Since you're in the Netherlands and perhaps if you'd like to save some money, then I'd advice you to get all your Festools from marktplaats. I got all mine there for a lot cheaper than in the store. You can find pristine, hardly used tools there for like 60%-70% new price. Festools are indestructable, even used ones will serve you for many years.

Btw, don't forget a planer on your list, like the EHL65 or the HL850. I have a very neat HL850 for sale. (Ok, sorry for that Wink)

Thanks Alex.

I'll stick with the OF 1010 since i already have a Bosch ACE 1400 (not the best, but it(hopefully not for long anymore)still works ok)
Also I've been looking on Marktplaats (Dutch somelike version of EBAY) but i think i'll buy this portion at the hardware store because of the
ease with warranty etc. Also got a really good price and all the acc. are ex. tax and 40% off.. Big Grin

I also want a domino DF 500 Q set, MFT 3, OF 2200 EB set, domino sys, Precisio CS50 and T12 + 3 Li 2,6 set. I'm thinking about buying this
scatterd (according to cash flow)haha, on marktplaats.nl

I already have a planer i'm happy with --> Bosch GHO 40-82 C     but, maybe green fever hits me, and ill change it for a festool  Tongue Out

what is you're opinion about the CTL 26 E... shall i buy the AE version? is only 80 eu more..

I bought a MFK 700 when they were on sale recently.  I have to say that it is a really attractive piece of machinery.  BUT...unless you want to spend hours looking for a trimming bit you need to purchase the overpriced Festool one.

I wish I would have bought the 1010 and the accessories instead.

what is you're opinion about the CTL 26 E... shall i buy the AE version? is only 80 eu more..

I bought it just recently and haven't had a real opportunity to use it yet. But suction is powerful and the noise is very acceptable. It does look like a step up from the old CTL22. As for the AC version, I don't know, never used it and don't know if it's worth the extra bucks. I guess it will come in handy when you use the vac heavily and in tough conditions, but I doubt it will be much added value for the average user.

I know I have used my CTL22 for the past 1,5 years with sawing/routing wood and sanding paint and the filters never clogged. I also used my CTL Mini heavily the last year with sanding wood, paint and drywall and the filters never had a spec of dust on them. Especially with drywall/plaster the bags would clog very quickly and you'd loose suction when the bags were only 1/4 full but the filters never were a problem.

Don't get the T12 but the T15. The price difference is minimal and the T15 is a lot stronger. Despite what Festool makes you think by calling it a T12 it's a 10.8 volt drill while the T15 is a 14.4 volt drill.

thanks Alex, so for a regular size drill I should get a T15? How about if I want a smaller size for maybe cabinetry?
Is a CXS a good option?



In general, I would get the accessories as the need arises.


My list of the 6 essential festools would read TS55, Domino, Rotex, MFT, OF 1400 router, CT dust extractor. I have others but these are the workhorses of the shop.  



All the best and Welcome.

Thanks Richard,

these are the items I ordered:

Kapex KS 120 EB
TS-55 EBQ plus FS
PS-400 EBQ plus
CTL 26 E
OF 1010 EBQ plus
DTS 400 EQ plus

FIS - CT - 26                       Longlife filterbag
D 36 HW - RS - plus            tradesman cleaningkit  incl. 36mm hose (sawing and routing)
SB - CT 26/36                     CT handle
FS sys/2                              FS acc. kit                   I know, I know, but i can get it new in shop for only 80.39 euro's
FS 1400/2 LR/32                 one extra rail and preparing for LR/32 work
SYS T loc 3                          For  delta sandpaper
SP / TS 55/5                       splinterguard for ts 55

My latest and already new wishlist is:

domino DF 500 Q set, MFT 3, LR 32-SYS, OF 2200 EB set, domino sys, Precisio CS50 and T15 + 3 Li 2,6 set

The MFT/3 and the LR 32-SYS.. are first!
Since I think i'm gonna use the domino just not that much (probably)
I think that these are the first things i'm  buying i hope end of februari!!!!I put my kapex on a black and decker workmate with a loose rollerblock from delma!
this is light, mobile and variable..

Thanks for all the advice everyone!!! Also for the warm welcom on FOG!!! Crying Big Grin Big Grin

The CXS is a nice little drill but if i were you i would get the C12 first.  It really is a sweet drill.

Welcome,

You said a T12 at first, and the T12 is just as big as the T15 so for size they make no difference. The cost difference is also just 30 euro, which is nothing for drills this expensive. If you can afford €606 for the T12 you can also afford €636 for the T15. The C12 or C15 are also options, if you like that type of handle. So the T12 and T15 are hardly different from each other, except in one very important field: power.   

I find my T15 very light and small and can get into every spot I want. The nice thing with Festool's Centrotec system is that you can take the chucks off, so if you need to get into a really tight spot you can just drop the bit into the shaft of the drill itself. The angle and offset chucks are also a great help.

The CXS seems to be a nice drill too. I haven't used it yet other than fondling it in the store. But I've looked myself at all the possibilities in the 10.8 volt segment and I know that if I'm gonna get one myself I'd much rather get the really nice Makita combo of a drill and impact driver for only €200.

I never heard anything about that. And we here on the forum are probably the first to know besides Festool themselves. But it is possible that sooner or later they'll make something, I just don't know.

Why does a sortainer have to be adapted to a T-Loc version?
It has no lid to use the rotating front knob for. It only has some drawers that can slide horizontally.
Or only because the T-Locs looks nicer?

You can still place the sortainer to be locked underneath the T-Loc systainers.
