Hello All! I've been a weekend warrior wood worker since I was 12 working in the shop with my Dad. Now I'm 28 and am on my third rehabbed house (my wife and I live in them with our kids while working on them) and, though I've been able to attain over the years fairly nice shop tools, I never was able to make Festool happen. I'm happy to be part of the club, I've gone a little crazy this past month bargain hunting for Festools. Below are what I found so far...it all started with a deal I couldn't pass up on a CT 26. The addiction I have for a good deal as well as this new found addiction for Festool is dangerous...
Some of these were ebay some local others were elsewhere...
CT26 with Compact Cleaning Kit - $335 local pickup
Domino DF500 Q Set/Systainer - $790 shipped (a few days ago I just missed an insane deal on ebay for Df500 Q Set with Tenon Acces. Set for 750, Darn!)
RO125 with various accessories and sandpapers/systainer - 290 shipped
TS55 with 4 blades/Systainer with 55" Rail - combined 490 shipped
I also found this deal on ebay for the Domino Tenon Set from Italy for $219 shipped (New). Since the value is under $800 I shouldn't have to pay any Import Duties and I have no affiliation with the EU (VAT), so all things seem to have worked on that one. I'll let everyone know if it actually works out to that amount, so far the seller hasn't charged me anything else.
Anyway, I look forward to diving into this new world of Festool and searching through these forums for tips and tricks.
I've thrown in a few pics of my most recent home and some of the stuff I've done.
