Burchie said:OK, so it only took me 21 months to finally get off the fence and take the Festool plunge. After an impressive presentation by Larry Smith of Festool at the Katz Roadshow in Evanston, IL, I was convinced and went out the next day and started the spending insanity. I appreciate all the advice here and it definitely helped with my purchases:
TS 55 EQ saw
DF 500 domino
ETS 150/3 sander
CT 36 E extractor
1400 EQ router with parallel guide
FS 32 Sys
32",55", 118" rails
Guide rail accessory kit
(2) MFT/3
(4) quick clamps and other odds and ends....
I don't even want to add up what my total investment is (so far), but after using the saw, domino, and router on an oak wainscot project for a billiards room, I know it's worth it. Festool has brought the joy back to woodworking and I actually look forward to using the tools!
Whoa!! Nice cannonball right into the pool. [big grin]
You definitely went whole hog, and I hope your dealer made sure to arrange you with the CT+tool and MFT+TS package deals.
Based on your list and my perception of usage, you should take a look at the clamping elements. Finest little accessories with the MFTs.
Cheers and thanks for the long-awaited followup. Enjoy!!
