Deltex DX 93 or LS130 for painter and decorator? Discuss!

That was one of the first things I did what I got my CT22. I Velcroed the plug-it cord to the vacuum hose.

Hi Weetbix

Try my local dealer Slingers and Sons, Known on the net as www.fixy.co.uk They do an excellent mail order service and are top notch dealer. Ring them and ask for David. I saw the RO90 a couple of days ago and it looked very good with loads of power and its a nice size in the hand.

Regards John

Damn! Just looked on the Fixy site & saw the banner for the open day they had on the 5th. If I'd known about it, I'd have come over [mad]

It wasn't on the Festool site, as I'd been keeping an eye on that to find somewhere I could see the new tools. Presumably they weren't updating the old site whilst they got the new one ready...

And there are none of the new sanders in stock.  Anywhere!  [scared]

What's a girl to do?  I've got a new job starting at the end of this week.  B*gg*r.

 

[Weetbix]

And thank you for the links to the decorator manual.  Very helpful.

Hi Weetbix,

David has told me that ALL the new stuff will be in stock this coming week. (including my Kapex base, or he is in deep stuck) They have never let me down yet.

Jonny

Next open day they have i will let you know and you can come over. They do a mean bacon butty at these events. The one I had last Wednesday only cost me about ?600 quid [eek]. Slingers Aka Fixy could be a possible venue for training,In The North West< if it comes off.

Regards to you both

John

I've ordered one.  Apparently they'll be in the country end of this week, beginning of next.  Cannot wait!

Hi Kate,

Did you ordered from David at Fixy? Did you try to get some extra abrasive gratis [smile]? Hope those delivery dates are for your sander and not my Kapex base  [eek].Will be looking for more discount of it or some freebies, if its not here In the next couple of days.

Regards John

Hi John

No, I had a call from my local dealer.  They're going to lend me a demo model this week plus there'll be 25 of each abrasive with the new one when it arrives, probably Friday.

Will let you know how I get on with it.  Apparently it's selling like the clappers.  Thanks everyone for the recommendation, I'd have been well hacked off if I'd bought a delta the week this came out!  [mad]

Cheers
Kate

Well Done Kate, Did they give you a call because of this thread? Have we a Uk Dealer lurking? [smile] Hope it proves to be as good as promised by the reps. Enjoy your sanding
John
