VAC SYS DISCONTINUED?

[JMatthew84]

Why do they ship with the old style systainers?

Why do they ship with the old style systainers?

The entire Vac-SYS system in Europe is based on a vacuum pump that is built into a Classic Systainer, similar to a Rolair compressor.  The systainers for the system components are in Classic systainers as well as a result.

The pump model was unable to gain UL approval in the United States, so the pump was refactored but all of the other components remained the same.

For the many of you who checked with us while we were out - we have just received another shipment of SE2 Modules.

Couldn't resist... [doh]

Now I'll have a complete set to sell on eBay.

I guess when I finally go into a nursing home my wife can eBay all my tools to pay for my long term care.  [unsure]

Man's greatest fear is that when he passes, his wife will sell all of his tools and toys for what he told her he paid for them rather than what they're actually worth.  [cool]

Better have a lot of tools... [big grin]...am having some issues with my mother and assisted living wants $14,000 per month.

My grandmother-in-law is having some issues lately.  I think the place my in-laws went to look at had a $130k application fee, which was before the monthly fees.  [eek]

My own grandmother is in a senior apartment-type complex with meals included in a dining hall and other group and individual amenities, but no on-site care.  Fortunately she doesn't require constant care and can call it in when she needs it.  Also, I think I heard that the insurance and pension she has through my late grandfather's old job is phenomenal; it's probably cheaper for her to call an ambulance almost every day than to live in a care center.

Well, given current inflation and longevity of Festools we are close to the used prices denominated in $ or € being equal to original new price...

I obviously wrote tongue in cheek. This really is no joke and I empathize with your plight.

No Greg you're good... I thought your reply was funny...what is a joke is that it will take 3 shops completely filled with tools & equipment to pay for any medical assistance short of "take an aspirin & call me in the morning".

Thanks Peter  [smile]...Thankfully, my mom has very good insurance, but that brings up the larger issue that many people in this wonderful country just aren't that fortunate...and so my heart goes out to those folks because there are no options for those people. Dignity in death should not be something that's just a commodity for sale. 

On to a better discussion about the discontinued Vac Sys. [big grin] [big grin]

I went through the same with my father who passed away from Alzheimer's three years ago (only 64). As if dealing with the disease wasn't hard enough the cost associated with it were a shock to say the least I don't know how some people manage it. If it wasn't for his VA benefits I have no idea what I would have done. Thats a total other subject the hoops I had to jump through with the government for him to get the benefits he was entitled too was a nightmare in itself. Unfortunately death and life ending illness has become a money making business. My prayers and best wishes to you my friend as you navigate these difficult times.

I’m getting ready to sell a bunch of woodworking tools. Including a complete VAC SYS setup:
Two modules, vacuum pump, and foot pedal
Two MFT mounting brackets
The set of three mounts in the Systainer
One additional D215 mount
A spare vacuum hose that I used for some custom vacuum jigs

I really prefer to deal in person. I’m in Asheville, NC. Any of you guys looking for a VAC SYS near western NC?

Otherwise, what have you had good luck with in terms of online sales?

Hmm Greg from Asheville. Your last name doesn't happen to be Paolini does it?  [big grin]

 

[elfick]

I just received my set from USTF. A month earlier than projected so mad props to USTF.
Only problem is I can't exactly claim it as a birthday gift a month early!  [tongue]

 

[Chainring]

My set came in from US Tool & Fastener, too.

My GF was initially questioning how in the heck something like this would be used, but when I suctioned it down onto a coffee table and stuck a cutting board on it, her light bulb started glowing.

I used mine yesterday.  I find new ways of using it all the time.
