It started with a CXS followed by an OF1010 at the end of last year.... The addiction started to take hold in the spring this year where a TS55, Midi and Carvex set following in short succession of each other.... Then I decided I "needed" the Domino df500 full set as the dewalt biscuit joiner I had just bought was not really worth the £200 it cost and since it could be returned within 30 days it was. At this stage I really thought I was set.....
Now joining the FOG just exposed me to more festool and a number of systainers found there way to me along with little bits here and there like clamps and parf dogs etc etc
Now this time I really did think that was enough as I was happy with my Bosch and Metabo sanders and my Bosch hammer drill was fine.....
Then this weekend when cutting some rails and styles for some cabinet doors I am making out of MDF I started looking at my cheap Metabo mitre saw and thought to myself I'd like a modest upgrade - my thinking being I am moving house next summer with number one on my wish list being a brick garage to set up as a permanent workshop. I was looking at £350 as my budget for a new saw and was interested in a few models at that price from dewalt and makita...
Anyway when looking on the Axminster site today I saw the Kapex 120 for £825 which seemed cheaper than usual but still more than I could really justify..... About an hour later I found myself on the phone to Axmister back ordering the Kapex for when they are back in stock next week!!
The craziest part of this purchase and all my other festool purchases..... I work in IT and only butcher wood as a hobby!! And until I move house in a back garden wood worker who has to lug all my kit down from a first story flat!
