3 New Festool Tools!

[David2T370]

Just picked up three Festool(s). 

ETS 125 EQ Sander
KS 120 Kapex
CT 26 E Cleantex

Had the tools for about a week now.  Got them all registered with Festool and also uploaded scanned copies of the receipts.  Currently I am working on getting things drawn up with my needs from Peter Parfitt's You Tub Channel - Miter Station Videos.  And by the way, I owe Peter allot of credit as it was watching his video reviews of the Festool products that was the convincing factor to purchase Festool.  Thanks again Peter!  Love those tools.  Peter suggested that I might purchase the domino next - but I am torn between the domino and the TS 55.  I have my old 12" CMS up for sale (even comes with a Forrest Chopmaster blade).  I don't have any pics of the new stuff, but plan to post - if there is any interest.

Domino is great and certainly a game changer for many.  I have a DF500 and I think its great.  That said, I use my TS55 more than the Domino.  Do you have a table saw?  Do a lot of joinery?

I own a number of Festools and like them all, however, the Dominoe is the one tool that is a game changer (as SoonerFan said).  The other tools offer improvements over other tools.  The Domino is unique

The Domino is a great tool but so is the TS. I bought my TS75 before the Domino.

TS before Domino. The TS is more useful.

Yeah, I think the TS 55 will be next - but still getting a domino after that.  Now looking at the jig saws.

Easy for me to say - because I am fortunate to own more tools than I need

I would stick with the "faster, easier, smarter" theme.  You can put together a panel any number of ways - IF it is square, straight and smooth.  So the track saw and table to make the panel square would get my vote.  Then sooner or later, you have to finish something, so you need a sander.  After that, the domino will make things more accurately and be faster, but one can get by for some time without one, as biscuits or pocket joints, or dados will certainly work in the mean time.
