Cool idea & nice work, but it would probably cost 3000.00 GBP. I would probably still buy one though  [crying]

Yip!  Still I would also buy one! [embarassed]

well, if we are talking about money and festool.
lets be realistic here.
theres no way i would waste 3000 pounds on a festool lunch box thicknesser.

i paid AU 2500 dollars for my cms-ts75 table saw.
i still have to fork out another 500 dollars just to buy the rip fence.

i would be willing to pay AU 2000 dollars for the lunchbox thicknesser.
anymore than that and i will stick with the dewalt or makita models.

I was actually only joking when i said i would pay 3000 GBP for it.  I got a Felder for 3500.00 GBP & it kicks ass  [cool]

When? Just tell me when and where.

Brilliant idea.

Sign me up. This is a great idea. All Festool has to do is build it. Come on guys it can't be that hard!!

P.S Jonny round boy I've stolen all of your Festool sketchup designs. They are very very good, well done!

No problem mate, you're welcome to use them anytime!

That would be sweet. Put me down for one of each. [drooling]

One of each?

 

[festooltim]

That gives me an idea.  Some should  start an aftermarket accessories company for systainers complete with custom inserts, modifications and built in power tools.

 

[festooltim]

Yeah a planer and thickness sander.

I have thought about it, believe me! Not the planer though, but other things like a battery charging station, and a radio/media player.

I just don't think there'd be a big enough market, at least here in the UK.

Same here.  Even thought I would like a systainer Radio and charging station  and/or a all in one I dont think people will buy many  because thats whats so good about systainers people can easily do it them selfs. You can easily take a cheap radio apart and screw it into a systainer and do the same with a charger fix it in a systainer.  but you can not easily make a thicknesser or sander into a systainer though!

I keep thinking of a systainer saw.    You turn the systainer on its side and ipen the lide which locks up giving more bench support and you then wind the blade up which comes out through a slot in the systainer and you got your self a mini portable bench saw.

My Brother has a custom metal fabrication shop he makes mostly medical equipment, my father is good at inventing what ever he needs. I grew up on a farm and if you wanted something you had to build it.

 

[flair woodworks]

Too cool!

Awesome mock-up.  What I'd like to see in a planer from Festool is one that sits on the kapex MFT, and has in/outfeed that connect to adjacent MFTs to provide a nice 4' in/outfeed so you could get awesome results with no (ok, little) snipe worries.  305mm (12" and small change) would be brilliant, and small enough to not require it to weigh 100+ lbs.  You guys could make a sander just like mentioned earlier as well...

Here's an idea:

Could you flip it upside down, move the tables to the other side, and use it as a jointer?

Any takers on getting Festool to actually pull this off?
