What Festool Did You buy Today?

[Kev]

Kev yeah I reckon the awkward way to set and reset the saws angle true is surely in need of updating, since they have done it with the HKC you would have to believe in doing it to their ts saws soon. That'll give me a new dilemma, do you sell and update or just stick with what otherwise is a great saw anyway.

I fear you can get into the update frenzy too easily these days. I find the TS55 fine on the tracks for what I do. If they bring something out that makes the process better I'll consider it, but it would need to be significant. I though I'd be inclined to rush out and grab the new ETS150 EC's as soon as I saw them .. but my current ETS150's are still excellent machines and to my surprise I've been sensible [scared] [eek]

Kev; did you get the Metabo 18V worklight? I was very pleased with the output when I borrowed one for a day. Great worklight!

To keep On Topic:
After renting (and paying way too much for) a concrete sander and vac I updated my grinder park and got me the DSC AG 125 with diamond tile cutter and hood and the diamond concrete grinder shroud. Put it to work immediately and I am very pleased.

(though the Systainer/grinder has a very foul smell to it and it hasn't aired out just yet)

What a stupid question ... when you've got the entire set of course!! [wink] [big grin]

Actually, I lie - it's just slows down as you only need to buy the new tools, accessories and consumables [embarassed]

Don't worry .. I've now realised that Festool is only a gateway drug to Felder [eek] [scared] Then you Festool spending will seem trivial.

Don't be saying that [member=13058]Kev[/member]

Maybe when i build a new shop one day  [big grin]

The FELDER pusher came by the workshop today - a new Format Saw is inbound. There might be a new, larger Felder router inbound too...

If you think Festool machines are expensive...

On a side note: today we discovered that my colleagues CT22 vac was bought in 1999 - and still going strong!

Look what just came through my letterbox today  [scared]
Is it a sign???

[member=42972]jmac80[/member]

Hah! My guess it's no longer a question of "if?"  - now it's simply a matter of "when?".

... same boat for me.

Hope I can find a soft copy of that magazine [smile]

I came home from the Felder showroom with the 400+ page catalogue last week. So far I've managed to keep it free of drool [embarassed]

I picked up the OF1400 router yesterday , haven't had a chance to use it yet

 

[pingvinlakrits]

jmac80: Felder is locked on to you with the tractor beam...  [big grin]

Leonelgh: you are in for a treat - great machine!

I've long held the suspicion that the Felder family are from Vulcan [scratch chin]

Not today, but last 10 days, a 150mm Rotex, Syslite, LS130. I always add quite a few extras for the tools. Just starting to take paid jobs, do some job, buy some more.. hehe. Next will be some more systainers for sand-paper, and other tools

Neeleman, would you be willing to give us you thoughts on the DUO and tripod, maybe a mini review??

 

[andreasg]

YES PLEASE, do tell us what you think of the Syslite Duo Personnally I really wonder if it is too much in a small room.

Finally got my Sys 4 Sort 3 after quite a long wait. I got one set of small organizing boxes and dividers. I think it's a very useful thing and plan on getting another as well as a couple of Sys combis, probably one of each version..

I keep getting those and I've never expressed any interest in Felder. I've not got a huge workshop either so I couldn't have one if I wanted one lol
