[Jim_in_PA]

Scored a refurb CXS drill set last night so I have a second D/D for assembly work.

Delivered today from Toolnut, another KAL II.  I gifted my daughter and her fiancee my first one to use finishing their drywall.

Earlier this week the first part of *my* CMS Router Table arrived: the OF2200-Set. The rest of it will be delivered tomorrow, hopefully… I am really stoked!

That is a terrific set of cabinet making kit.  I have a DF500 and recently purchased an LR32 and holely rail.  All are great to use.  Great purchase.  Well done!

Nice! I spread that out over a few years, but the plan was always there. I got the holey 1400 years before I got the LR32 sys  [laughing]

Is the springloaded pin in your LR32 also a bit too long?

1400 years?!  I didn't think Festool had been around quite that long.

I'm a newbie.  Just got my CT26/Rotex 150 Sander combination.  Except the sander hasn't arrived, so I'm salivating.  I also got the ultimate dust deputy, and I think it will make the bags last a lot longer.  Will let you know how it works.

You will love the RO.  It's my go to sander for almost everything.  There is a break in period where the motor housing tends to get a little warm but that's normal.  When in Rotex mode, you have to hold on tight as it produces prodigious torque!

Cant really say anything about the tools, they havent arrived yet.
Got a good deal on everything now, i think we are going to see some higher prices next year?

Higher prices next year is always a safe bet, lol. My salary will get higher too, but the real question (not really); will the prices increase more than my salary? And so far I have the feeling it's "Yes" with a lot of stuff that I'm interested in.

Bought DTS 400 yesterday...didn’t perform well...brought it back today and exchanged for RO90.  SHEESH!!

Somewhat don't get these price discussions... I live in country where average salary is about 800 (before taxes) eur, but living costs are same like in a Germany, almost all goods (including Festool) costs much more than in a Germany, more than half people earn about 280 (after taxes)eur a month... But I just save money, buy best tools I need and just work. I'm working with tools, not with the price. I'm buying a tool, not "price" for which I can sell that tool some day later... I just don't care and have fun from nice tools my hands enjoy!

Regards the topic... I would buy today TS75.

It’s a hand full isn’t it?

Ok so I have the ETS EC150/5 EQ and just purchase the Rotex 150 last week So my question that others have discussed, these both have a 5mm stroke, so aside from the Rotex mode are they a little redundant, as I just purchased an ETS EQ 150/3 as I want a finer finish.  I just refinished an oak dinning room table with the Rotex, 150/3 and surfix kit.  I got some got small scratches one today second coat of oil today with the 150/5 and 320 Granat. My guess was it’s the sander stroke.  Your feedback is welcome.

Several years ago I dropped my ATF55 and cracked the housing where the dust collection hose attaches.  It held on for quite a while before finally breaking off and I continued to use the saw with the dust hose taped on.  I finally bought a new housing from Festool and fixed the saw.  There was a pretty good amount of disassembly involved to get there and I haven't gotten the saw adjusted right.  I finally got tired of waiting for myself to adjust the saw and picked up a recon TS55 REQ.  I've sort of been just wanting one for years now so...

[attachimg=1]

Based on the condition of the blade in the new saw I'd say someone gave it a good long tryout before returning it.  Hopefully it just needs a good cleaning.  I was counting the "new blade" cost in my financial justification since my current blade could use replacement.

I didn’t. After the Domino 500 and its systainer I think I’m set. It’s taken 5 years but I have what I want and need. I’m very happy with what I have and use them with great enjoyment. What more could you ask for?

I highly doubt cost of living is the same (can't check since I don't know your country), but with 800 here... well. Rent, mandatory health care, food, clothes, utilities; that's about 800 gone per month.

But seen in that perspective we have nothing to complain in that area yeah.
