So first post after being a lurker in the shadows for a while.... Thought it was about time i shared my problem.
After a change of job thats allowed me some more time to pursue my hobby I decided to build upon my small Festool collection that consisted of a CXS and the OF1010....
The first thing I decided i wanted was the TS55 as my Makita circ saw and a straight edge was slow to set up and i was not accurate enough on the repeatable cuts. So after shopping around i came to the conclusion that i may as well get a package deal that included the Midi dust extractor..... Once this arrived i decided a track bag and panther rip blade would be pretty useful so ordered them as well.... oh and a 800mm track and some connectors..... and a systainer mini!
Now this is the point at which i should have stopped.... I had a reasonably decent Metabo jigsaw..... but nope i decided i needed a Carvex and since i was ordering one it made more sense to get the base accessory systainer with it at the same time. Now as i was on the phone ordering this it suddenly dawned on me that an empty sys1 would be ideal for router cutter storage so thought may as well order one now and while i was getting free shipping.
so now this is where it really should have stopped, I had a biscuit joiner i had just bought recently that was "OK" but then i found out Dewalt had a 30 day no questions return policy....... Well i went out on Saturday with one lightly used Dewalt biscuit joiner and came back with a Domino DF500 and a separate systainer of dominos and cutters.
The worst bit..... this has all happened in the last 4 weeks!! If the other half finds out what i have spent it's curtains for me!
Anyway thats my story.... my names Pete and i have a problem!!
