I recently acquired several festools through an estate sale

[Coen]

Consumables, but in general, accessories to get functionality adds to it too.  We're oogling at the OF1010 kit in another thread today, and while buying the same for some cheap Dewalt also adds to the cost, it's again a percentage of the Festool versions.  You do get what you pay for (I like microadjust for instance), but low-key hobbyist - again.

* As for dollar value resale, you forget inflation.  Much ado about Festool price increases (which are almost inflation indexed) but then the other end gets the 'I sold for more than I bought' which is kinda meh.

Yes, that's why I said 'dollar value' and not 'value'.
But most other tools don't keep up anywhere near that ratio.

If I was in your shoes,
I would get with one size sand paper.

I have the RO 125 and a 125 finish sander, but if I was doing it over, I would get the 150 size. More surface area.
Nobody likes sanding including me.
The RO-90 looks like a good little sander also.

As far as the routers, I would keep them all. As the say, “Can’t have to many routers”
The 1400 and 1010 are over lapping but if , say you build a cabinet box, one is chucked up for the LR-32 jig and the other could have a plywood bit for a rabbit/rebate groove.
Combine that with the 700 doing edge banding, and there is very little bit swapping and set up delays.
Btw the MFK-700 is a dream to use for edge banding,very nice results.

This guy might be my twin  [big grin]  [blink]
This is exactly what I do, along with one setup for flush-trim, pattern, and a couple with different bushing to bit offsets for specific jigs. Not to mention laminate trimmers and 1/8" round-over.

The MFK700 is not stuck with only PVC edging either, as suggested above somewhere. It can do hardwood edges up to 1/2" or so, in stock form.
