What Festool Did You buy Today?

[beeckie]

I just received my first Festools.
TS55
2x 1400 holey rails
Df500
Domino systainer
OF1010
LR32
Now all I need is some free time this weekend to start building the cabinets to please the Boss and justify the new tools ;-)

Ordered the Fastcap Best Fence for my Kapex  8)

 

[tjbnwi]

A 48 tooth TS-55 blade, thats what happens when you wait to long to send blades out to be sharpened. Packed and shipped 19 blades to Leitz for service today. Order 2 Kapex blades from Tom-------overnighted.

The items I ordered the other day would make most cringe. Most are due here tomorrow also, the rest has to wait for July 1 to ship.

Ordered a fs3000 rail and a cleaning kit as I needed another hose.  I'll probably order a 27 hose end to make an adapter tomorrow.

[member=4105]tjbnwi[/member] What is the cost per blade for resharpening

 

[tjbnwi]

[member=47595]TheTrooper[/member];

This was my previous sharpening list. Their receipt does not break down cost per item. The total cost with shipping to and from Grand Rapids via UPS was $100.00.

To whom it may concern,

Enclosed you will find;

1- Festool 19 mm straight flute router bit

6- Festool 48 tooth saw blades for the TS-55

1- Festool 60 tooth saw blade for the Kaoex

Please sharpen and return them to the address shown above and below. I would really appreciate if you could return them in the original sleeves as I have shipped them. I store my blades hanging from the sleeve.

I was cutting cement board with one of the blades, hopefully it is salvageable.

I will be paying the invoice via credit card. My phone number is in the address blocks.

Thank you,

Tom

Finally picked up a CT boom arm, will install it tonight and looking forward in using it.
Was getting tired of tripping over or stepping on the hose.....

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a while learning a lot. I've had the TS55 and CT Midi for a couple months now and I was instantly hooked to Festool. I pulled the trigger the other night on the OF 1400 and an ETS 150/3 from Bob. Can't wait to get them! Looking at getting the Domino 500 pretty quick as well.

It never ends!

I've checked out this site several times over the past few months but was finally able to purchase some Festool products this past week.  Had a local cabinet shop go out of business and auction off their equipment.  They had tons of machinery, tools, and lumber so of course I ended up spending more than I expected but picked up the following tools:

Rotex with a couple of boxes of 220 grit pads
TS 55 EQ Track Saw with 55" and 118" rails, 3 clamps, and 3 extra blades
Domino 500Q
Systainer for Dominos and two additional 500 count boxes of size 8 and 10 dominos.

They had several ETS 125-EQ sanders and a MIDI but the price on those was close enough to retail pricing that I would rather pay a little extra and get it new even though the tools probably would've still been worth it.  Everything in the shop was in great condition and you could tell the guys that had it took care of everything.  The rails I got with the track saw even came in a poplar box they made to protect them from getting dinged up or bent.

[welcome] to the forum!

Looks like you stumbled on to a great deal. Unfortunately, it is the beginning of a long downward spiral into the Green Koolaid!

You will be amazingly surprised at how your efficiency will massively improve! [big grin]

Welcome to the addiction!  Resistance is futile! [scared]

Cheers,
Frank

Oh I'm sure of that,  I've always hated using a biscuit joiner so I've had the Domino on my wish list for a long time.  I've been using a Grizzly track saw for the past few months and love it but I managed to snag the TS 55 with everything for not much more than what the 118" rail retails for.  Once my wife forgets how much I spent at this auction I'll probably pick up a 125 EQ and a CT next.  I really wanted the MIDI they had at the auction but it went for $50-$60 less than a brand new one.

Well I tried to buy a Festool but it was NAINA.  Looked at Mafell and chocked on the price.  But for less than $400 I can cut up to 12"  Got all the stuff and put it together today:

I am new to Festool and this forum, and have gone kinda crazy with it in the last couple of weeks.  My latest is a new CXS, which I picked up at Woodcraft last Thursday.  I has the 2.6AH batteries and a Jacobs chuck which now goes to 3/8"/10mm.  What a nice little drill!

Ha ha ha, love it Frank. Agreed.

Good to know the take bulk orders, I only have a half dozen, well maybe a dozen...

Did you get the conturo?

No, not this time.

A lot of little things on my add/fix/need list,

TSC, PDC, Cordless Carvex (all sets), from Tom.

A set of phenolic straight edges with corners.

The 2200 and bits that were offer in the classified.

Had 2 specialty Kapex blades over nighted, they arrived today. Need to plan better.

I did keep it under a 10K Friday (barley).

The Conturo has been moved to next in line.

Oh yah, I dropped something one of my 1400 rails today, dented and bent the C channel, had to change the TCS to with rail.

Did I ever mention I love my wife [thumbs up]

Good thing my neighbors love me, had a semi, UPS and FedEX here all at the same time. Street was unappeasable.

Just picked up a Domino 500... Its addicting! My OF 1400 and ETS 150/3 will be here Tuesday. Thinking of calling in sick to work so I can play with them right when they get here!

 

[peter halle]

Don't let the Boss know about the FOG!  And enjoy!

I had a Prazi for years, I used it to do timber framing and stress skin panel work, these saws are monsters,  I think you will be really happy with this add-on. B
