Got my first Festools

[DAHolloway]

[big grin]I got to say......WOW....I got my first Festools  .....
jigsaw and kit
55 track saw and 3 guide rails
table
500 Domino
RO 90 sander
36 ct
and just ordered OF1400  and a 16 ft 35mm bosch hose
(need more accessories for router) and would like to get Kapex
all in the last 2 weeks, I have not used Domino yet .....I have used everything else and its awesome.....I have built a workbench and a cart to set the table on so i can wheel it around in my shop......my shop is 12x 20 not a lot of room.... and I'm broke now and need to find something to build to help pay for the madness....... [eek]

Welcome to FOG!

Good choices for your first Festools.  Find a project for the DF500.  Great machine.  Used mine last night and again this morning.  I got an unbelievable improvement in joinery when I got the DF500.

Ok that pencil shelf you have on your work bench is complete genius.

[welcome] to the FOG and the slippy green slide  ;D

Pretty good start up kit and it will pay for itself, if only in time you save on your own projects.
Small workshops are great, they teach you to make the most of a little while being a little uninviting to lurkers who want to distract you from playing with new toys and bits of wood  ;D ;D

Congrats on the first batch of Festool tools.  You made some great choices.  Like the workbench and I'm sure you'll get a lot of good work out of the tools.

Welcome to FOG - look forward to seeing how you put the tools to use!

Nice first order and welcome, are these to replace some older tools from other manufactures?

 

[mdevo]

Looks good/  what are your payments on the loan you took out to pay for equipment.?

 

[DAHolloway]

DB10,
It is more like an addition to tools that I all ready have and I will say the RO90 is the best sander I have ever used.......I have saved up awhile to make this purchase.....I choose these instead of getting a new table saw because my shop is not that big........

I can't wait to take the plunge myself.  Enjoy and start cutting

 

[DB10]

I hear you regarding the RO90, so versatile, I can't believe how much I use mine. Just bought my first ETS, went for the 150/3 not heard a bad word about it on the Fog. Can't wait for it's arrival. Good luck with your new tools.

Ok..... I couldn't help myself i went ahead and got OF1400 and plunged holes in my new workbench.....must say it works so well........makes me want to plunge more holes......
