Everyone,
This poll will help me understand members and make decisions about the forum to better benefit everyone! Since the forum is separate and independent of Festool, this kind of information must come from members. The information is anonymous, of course.
Please, kindly take a moment and vote for one of the amounts shown above. I greatly appreciate everyone's input here.
As always, feel free to post questions and comments below.
Stay in touch,
Matthew

Good Morning,
Thank you everyone for your responses so far! I've received several notes from members asking for voting options beyond $1500. I have added a few more.
Everyone who voted for the "Over $1500" in the original poll, please edit your vote to be more specific!
Thank you again! This information is extremely valuable.
Stay in touch,
Matthew

Matthew, My third purchase was a rather back door thing. I bought the screw assortment in the Systainer 1 Box. It cost me about $12.00 more to purchase the screws than through my regular supplier and I thought that a good bargain to get a nice organizer with them. Love the $12.00 Systainer 1 but I can't say I'm thrilled with the screws.  Steve |

I'm interested in major purchases, meaning tools or tools and consumables together. The poll is not looking for how much you spend on incidentals like sandpaper. If you need to, please change your votre to reflect this change! Thanks, Matthew |

OK, so I voted in the First, Second and Third Festool Purchases polls. Looking at the results, it seems hard to draw any conclusions. As I would have expected, the results are fairly evenly spread over the choices. I wonder what you are trying to learn, Matthew? Thanks.

I know this might sound vague, but the information helps me to know what kind of investment members make in the tools. It also allows members to get a read on the makeup of the community in general. Knowing this can play out in many decisions I need to make about forum features and the future of the FOG. A lot of this will become more apparent in the coming weeks. Matthew |

My third purchase was the Domino and the CT-33. The CT-33 must have been on when I was driving by. It sucked me right in.  |

At this point the only other tool I plan on purchasing is a 150mm sander. Additional accessories would include longer guide rails and clamps for same. I have no real need for drills, planers, another saw of ANY kind.

Matthew Matthew, if you can figure that out from the even spread of results that these three polls are yielding, you are better at statistics than me (and I have a degree in Math with lots of statistics courses included). |

My third purchase was the Domino and at last the CT Mini. Total price around $ 1750. No longer ankle deep in sawdust. It was also my last Festool purchase because I may be moving to the US. So I have to sell my stuff in Holland and start all over again. But now I know what I want: the same tools. But instead of the CMS table it will be a MFT/3.

Bought the ETS 150/3 6" and the Midi
I'm impressed with the little Midi, i took it to work today to vacuum a kitchen floor between coats with my single piece aluminum wand with felt seal, the $ hose fits right into. It's seems so petite and quiet after my 8 gallon stainless steel pacific steemex which Screened ! the joy of silence (relatively).

I talked myself into the TS55 so I don't need to keep going over to my brother-in-law's house to use his table saw all the time. I figured that with two little kids around (and I work in the garage) that the TS55 seemed like a relatively safer saw to have around. Dust collection is extremely important as I have allergies and asthma to contend with and having a Midi makes the TS55 even more attractive.

I guess it would be my 3rd large purchase,
I bought a MFT3 table and a RO90 along with some clamps.
So far extremely impressed with the RO90, the thing is downright mean if you get after it.
MFT3 is very nice also, have already used it for clamping boards in weird spots that wasn't possible before,
and it is great for making drawer boxes with, I used the track and the miter gauge as my square for the boxes.
It was hard for me to spend that on a table, but it is nice.

My third purchase was an online purchase for abrasives for my new Rotex 90 sander. I found on this forum that Tom tools-home breaks up packs of Granat sandpaper into a full range of grits of both round and deltex sandpaper. While at it I got the Package of ro90 abrasives Systainer with the bundle of Granat grits between 40 and 400. 10 disks of 40,60, and 80, and 20 (or was it 15?) of the rest. I chose to exclude the triangular sandpaper as I wanted to use up the freebies I got at Woodcraft when I got the Ro90. While making the online purchase I also picked up the green polishing pad.

Last one (so far) was a Mini-Systainer. I got it to keep my lunch in. Doesn't it remind you of an old-fashioned picnic basket?

My third Festool purchase was an RO150, an ETS150/3, a 2700mm guide rail and a 2424mm "Holy" guide rail for the LR32 system. All of those were from Eagle Tools of Los Angeles before the end of March 2006.
