One for the Aussies...

[DB10]

Got to chase up the Festool shop tomorrow. 

When I picked up the PS300 it was supposed to come with a special set of jigsaw blades as part of the sale. The jigsaw was in stock (got the last one at the premium dealer) but the blades are on back order.

You would think they would be in stock before the sale. The jigsaw is brilliant though. Very happy with it. [big grin]

Don't think it works like that at Festool Aus, When I bought my TS 55 it was promoted to come with a free rail bag, three weeks later I got a call to say, "come and collect the rail bag", it might pay you to phone up first.

Hi all

The wife chased up the blades on Saturday. There wasn't a code number assigned to them when I got the saw but there is a code now. Should have them this week. Big plug to the wife for chasing it up, she did it all on her own accord [big grin]

Been at the in laws stopping up their ceiling cracks. They were impressed when I was able to sand it all back with the ETS150/3 and due to the CT26 was able to get 100% dust extraction.

Now, anybody know where I can hire a Planex?

[member=59890]Grakat[/member] from me. First day hire is $2.5K though ... still interested? [big grin]

[member=13058]Kev[/member] Hmmmm let me think.

New Planex from Festool $1989.00

Kevs Planex, low kilometres, one careful lady driver.......$2500

Sounds like an awesome deal, I'll pick it up shortly.....not! [big grin]

[member=59890]Grakat[/member] ahh - you obviously place nothing on it's celebrity value [big grin] [big grin] [big grin]

PLANEX and Conturo are actually the only two significant Festools I haven't invested in yet that I'm likely to want.

Despite my feelings on local warranty, opportunities like this kinda challenges one's resolve:

I agree Kev

The Planex and the Conturo I could never justify. I don't sand Gyprock for a living and whatever I need to edge band an iron will cover off nicely. I think a Vac Sys will be as abstract as I would likely to get in the Festool lineup.

Hi there

Picked up the blades last weekend. To the dealers credit they were sitting on the counter waiting for me. They come in a small container which fits nicely into the Systainer.

Otherwise been finishing the shed of shame, a 6m x 3m garden shed to hold the stuff I want to get out of the garage. Then I can build my workshop.

Hello All,

Hope none of you are being flooded out at this point in time.

Can anybody shed some light on the Centrotec Installers set. My initial search is showing it as NAIA (not available in Australia). Has anybody got one of these sets? Did you have to import it?

I got one a few years ago locally. Tooltechnic Oz seems to be a bit random with the versions they offer. The kits seem to vary each year and there's been a couple of variants this year internationally.

They always seem to be spoken of as "limited editions". I think this was the last one offered in Oz:http://www.festool.com.au/Assembly-Wood-Package-Centrotec-Systainer-160-pieces

To be honest, with all of the Tanos storage flexibility available, Festool should be offering something a lot smarter and more modular is this space .. as a permanent line. If you really want one it could be worth a ring round the premium stores as it's a pricey item that someone could having laying about - otherwise it's Ebay or Amazon!

[member=13058]Kev[/member] Thanks for posting the link.

Yes that does seem pricey compared to the cost for eBay and to ship. Better keep an eye out.

Locky should be high and dry. We're a bit damp, some wet carpet and a a few solid core doors I hadn't sealed may be a problem. People a in a few of the low spots aren't so lucky [sad]

The wind is still howling outside [scared]

Well, referring to another thread, you have stopped eating grapes then and [member=10147]jobsworth[/member] 's clone and the other slaves are now on other duties.

Take care [member=13058]Kev[/member]

He's getting a message from a hottie with jabba the huts figure and personality right now. She has him pretty greased up.  Sadly Kev didn't hire me. I guess it was because the bikini panties I was auditioning in had a print of Barney the Dino on the back.

No accounting for taste huh?

Wot, no Milwaukee retail price maintenance lol

We purchased about $3k of the stuff at work, it has all performed flawlessly so far. So far Milwaukee has impressed me.

Did any of you Sydneysiders go to the Timber show this weekend?

[member=59890]Grakat[/member] I was going to go on Friday, but I had a look at the exhibitor list and I decided I really couldn't be bothered with the effort ! [embarassed]
