The Green Coolaid

[Festool Hill]

Just bought the TS55, with the 55" track with the 32mm holes, 106" Track, MFT 3 Table, Kapex Mitre Saw, & CT 26 Vacumme.  Totally hooked on the quality and features of the Festool products. Got a few projects on the go and can't wait to put them to work. Any suggestions on what to get next?

Seems like a sander would be a useful asset, esp with their 10% promotion til the end of the month!!

Do not know whether you are a hobbyist like me, but I have a ETS 125 EQ and a Rotex 90 for sanding.

ENJOY your tools

The little EHL65 planer is a ripper, OF1400 or OF2000 - depending on your biceps, for some nice edges ... a pair of Dominoes ... and Rotex in a pear tree.

Guess what festool to get next depends on what you want to do with your tools - and of course your budget.
The TS55 is a really neat saw and was also the first thing from festool that I got. If you are into woodworking an have the extra $$$, a really nice thing to go with your saw would be an MFT/3. I got mine this summer and love the thing - and make sure to get a set of qwas-dogs to go with the table. The MFT really revolutionized the way I can work with the machines on a given project.
If you don't have a router yet, get one - the OF1100 is a really great machine of the things you're working on isn't too big. Once you have a router, there are so many things the machine can be used for that at one point you start wondering how you could have done without it in the past.
Another nice thing would be a good sander - go for one of the Rotex-models. For me the RO125 was a great compromise between size and power of the machine, and really versatile to use due to the two modes the machine runs in for all sanding purposes.

Guess you'll have to decide for yourself what to get next. I'd go for the MFT.

Best wishes from Germany,

I've found the ETS 150/3 with a RO 90 to be a very useful combination.

Hi Congrats and welcome.

Just a thought, did you buy the MFT/3 table with the guide rail and fence? If so, you now have a 42" rail, the 55" rail that came with the saw and a 106" rail. If you do not need the 55" rail, take the 55" rail and the saw and the 106" rail back to the shop and you can pay the incremental price difference for the 106" rail with the saw. You can take advantage of the money back guarantee.

Now you can put the money saved towards the next Festool!

I would definitely get the RO 90 it is a great little sander.

Seeing that you already have the "holey rail," an OF1010 and the LR32 kit would make those cabinet projects soooo easy.  The parallel guides would also make life easier.

Yes bought the table with the fence, I exchanged the stock 55" for the one with holes to do cabinets when I get some extra coin for the router ect.  Thanks for the tip though I wasn't aware that you can upgrade and pay the difference. Very cool. I think I'm probably going to get a router.

Yes the parallel guides on my wish list

Don't think he was saying you can pay an "upgrade" fee, merely that you can return them if you're in the 30 day window...

Hi Darren,

Welcome to the FOG !  [smile]

You certainly started off in a big way with your purchases  [cool]

the thread title  makes me think Festool should team up with a beverage company for a promo item  [big grin]

Suggestions.... Domino, OF1400, RO150, D36 Hose.

Bit of both really. You can pay to upgrade but he would have return the 55 first!

 

[Festool Hill]

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcomes, insite and suggestions.

Ok OK since ya got the 32LR rail why not get the system and the 1400 router to. Then while yer at it your definately gonna need the RO 90 and the ETS 150. and systainers to hold the sand paper and you might want to get onother MFT, then some clamps like the essentials

see Im good at spending yer money
