Here's a little picture I thought was attached to the previous post.

What I don't get with the drawers, and same applies to the rails; you loose 8cm depth. Why...? There exist drawer slides that can do 100% +38 mm extension. Than you have a 300mm deep cabinet, or say 320 if you want a front and back to the drawer, but that still saves a lot of space.
 
Purchased the LS 130 Liner Sander, the interface pads and some sandpaper to go with it.  [wink]

I asked my local Festool how long they are gonna make the LS-130 pads and their response was; 'unknown if it will go away'.  [huh]

If all in Sys³, the stack would have been 45mm higher. The Domino assortment Systainer originally had a plywood divider. Then came the trays, reducing the amount of dominos slightly. And now with Sys³ the height od the box increased by 22.5mm, keeping the same contents. Same applies to the D8 connector set; previously in Sys T-Loc I, now in Sys³ M137; +25mm
 
This was one of the items on a misc. parts order I placed back in January. Everything else arrived within a few days but this was backordered. It had been so long, I kinda forgot about it. A small purchase that's sure to come in handy.

The new MFT clamping set came today. As has been stated by at least a few members, they are tight! They may be fine in an actual MFT, but in my custom table (drilled with the Parf system) the fit is too tight. I don't really know what I was expecting, the shafts are not only steel, but they have ridges going around them. They are not deep, but enough to not be smooth. I would assume that this is supposed to help with holding, so they don't slip?

Nothing about the OF1010 yet, even though it was ordered first?

Pictures? 🤷🏾‍♂️
 
Upgraded an old CT26 with BT control a couple of months ago, along with the BT remote, in anticipation of the new TS55.

Received my TSC 55 KEB F 1.8mm kerf, then added a single BT battery to my old non-BT 5.2ah batteries, and finally a new 27mm hose. Together, an absolute joy to use, the saw simply purrs and glides thru 18mm sheet goods.

[member=8712]Richard/RMW[/member] What steered you to the cordless over the new corded model? I go back and forth on this one quite a bit and I keep coming back to if I'm hooking it to a hose why not plug it in. Anywhere I work I have power. There's an argument for taking the saw to a lumber yard but I get my sheet goods delivered to me.

[member=65062]DynaGlide[/member] Matt I had a 10 year old TS55 and in '18 added the HKC on a whim, thinking I'd use it for "construction" grade stuff. I never did but when using it on the TS guide rails I learned that the DC bag worked about as well as the extractor. I found myself reaching for it for quick cuts.

When this saw came out, I figured I could replace both the old TS and the HKC with it. The HKC works on the TS rails, but it needs two hands to retract the blade guard.

I swapped out the hose/cord combo and now the cord isn't dangling when I use non-Festools with dust collection, which I do frequently. Being in such a small space every little thing adds up when it comes to the enjoyment of working there. I also like being able to haul it outside without needing to string power and vacuum.

The OF1010REQ F came in this morning.
It took a few extra days because of some kind of glitch with the shipping department.
It didn't go out with the initial launch, but I got it straightened out with Shane and he got it back on track. Even while being on vacation he got it taken care of and it got shipped Next Day Air, so I would get it on Friday, rather than having to deal with a weekend delivery. This doesn't go so well with commercial addresses, so it would end up Monday.
As it is, I will get to use it tomorrow.

TKS 80 better than expected !

Ah!  You made the decision then.  Enjoy it!

I ordered one of the last Vac-Sys SE 2’s available this side of the big pond.  I didn’t fancy waiting any longer and having to try to find one after they’ve all been bought up.

Bought some sand paper, sanding accessories (interface pads), a ripping saw blade and the OF1400 wide router base. Things I kept putting off.

I purchased RTSC and a Vac Sys SE2 which I found at Beaver a couple weeks back.  Now I need to clean my shop before I build a table for my Vac Sys and sanders…..
 
Not buying too much festools of late

Still loyal to the brand.

Alle the grades of polishing pads for the ro90 and ro150 with the polish grades to match and the cleaning solution for use between coats.

The laminate Blade for the TS 75 TF60

The AGC 125 grinder. I had been on the fence about this one but feel the variable speed will be a useful capability when cutting stainless steel. Cordless makes for improved handling when shaping bricks to fit for small repairs etc.
