[sancho57]

Ordered 2 more Flag Stops for the MFT, That gives me 4 in total. I will order one or two more. Got the idea from Wood Work Wizard . They make great story poles to.

Just grabbed a BS105 belt sander with the floating frame today. I'd HATE to live in a country where I couldn't put my hands on this puppy!!! [scared] [eek]

Also picked up a CMS extension table and bunch of Metabo-licals.

Hey Kev ,

Let me know what ya think about the belt sander. Ive been thinking about getting one for a while now, even though they only come in 240, Im thinking it might be worth it.

[member=10147]jobsworth[/member] I already have a 75 that's a dead ringer for the BS75 (so I'm not sure where they really come from) .. had it quite a while. It spends more time with it's upside down feet on it as a linisher and it's an awesome little beast. Just expecting the 105 to be bigger and better. Don't know when I'll get to use it in anger with the floating base, but I was playing with in on the floor (not switched on) and I can see it'll probably be awesome [wink]

I have the 105 belt sander and frame. It's extremely good, I've used it to sand numerous new floors, oak flooring in a 18th century chapel and with the frame and fine paper sand veneered panels for custom built cupboards.

The only time I've had trouble with it is when it's taking alot of material away, the belt is not overly tight and it can slip abit if the dust isn't being sucked away properly.

I had this happen when sanding back a Victorian tented veranda, and stripping hardwood worktops that were to be refinished, while doing the worktops I also found that moving the sander sideways slightly made the paper rub on the machine.

This intrigues me too.

? Which part, my groove unit and hk85 has arrived, and some new parallel clamps and a 2.7m rail are on their way.

Have done a few test cuts with the groove unit, think that it's gonna be a must have item. Also the Hk85 is massive... [big grin]

Only seen video demos in CSP form ...


Doubt it's FSK rail compatible ...

[member=59697]danbox[/member] - the belt sander

 

[Catosen]

Just got the RO150 sander, Kapex 120 w/ UG stand, TXS, CTL26  [big grin] Had no idea of that Kapex saw was that fantastic to work with, and the UG stand makes the Kapex even more complete  [cool]

 

[Grakat]

An ETS 150/3 followed me home from the toolshop today. Needed a finish sander, and thought it would be a good choice to pair with a Rotex 150 in the future. Systainer count at two.

It will be getting used in earnest tomorrow on the front doors, which I am replacing due to the recent storms in Sydney.

Regards
Graham

Yeah the 132 is a beast. I like the sword saw more but don't really have a use for it, might only use it a few times a year to size up some timber so can't really justify it.

I took some photos of the test cuts I did, I put grooves in some birch ply, oak veneered mdf, American white oak, English green oak and meranti, both with and across the grain. All my fine and cabinetry work used to be done by hand, I'm impressed with the results this gave, all the grooves were set at 18mm and I also did a quick measure and got 18.1mm, just in case a Festool engineer reads this I'll put the 0.1mm down to the play between the rail and saw.

One of those days you walk into your local dealer to pickup some sand paper and somehow walk out with another Kapex, TSC 55 and DTS 400

....and yes i know the shop is a mess

I have had one of those expensive abrasives days myself so I know exactly what you mean.  Enjoy the new tools!

Been lurking for awhile, but finally made the dive into my first Festool tools!  My fiancee has a bunch of projects for me for our wedding and they all involved end grain sanding on log slices and my little Makita sander wasn't going to cut it, so I picked up a Rotex 150, ETS 150/3 and a CT26 Dust extractor.  They should be here in a couple of days!  I can't wait to get them!

Welcome to the FOG!

I learned the hard way (as most here), the slope is slippery.  Enjoy the ride.

Thank you!  It definitely seems like it will be!  It's easy to justify the purchase after you already have the vac and don't have to buy that haha

Not really today.  I wanted a ETS EC 150/3 sander, a MFT/3 table and a 3000 rail.  Talked to my dealer and he had to order the table.  Wanted to get it at the same time to get that 10% discount.  They called today and said it was in, so my wife and I will take the 85 mile (one way) trip to Missoula tomorrow to pick them up.
