Carvex. Always reach for my 14.4volt Makita in preference. The carvex wasn't a massive improvement over the B & D proline I'd been using before (better yes, but not massively so)
SUREEEEEE, and hold the little nipper still on the table with a Quick Clamp or two.... After all ,you don't want them squirming about when changing their diapers...

I use each of my Festool tools a fair bit. I think I have a Festool pencil that I could let go, though.
Julian Tracy said:I had and sold plenty of them; they're expensive enough to be a bit silly to just be sitting around if you need the cash for other things.
MFT 1080 - sold when I found a used MFT/3 - sold that after I made my own version of a top.
Rotex 150 - really, what good is this sander? Makes for a very crappy finish sander, and how often do you really need a super agressive random orbit sander? Kept the ETS/150 - love that, and have the Rotex 90 - great for it's versatility.
ETS125 - didnt care for any more than any other 5" sander, but more importantly, seemed to be no reason to use it over the ETS150
CXS - nice, but little need for it seing as how I already had a CD12 drill setup
700 trim router - thought it'd be great for plastic edge banding, but not really... and I own a nice US made PC trim laminate installers kit.
1400 router - everyone's favorite - but I found it too heavy for a mid-sized router and the Festool advantage: dust collection - was no better than everyone else's clip on plastic tube attachment. Using it obscured just about all vision of the bit - did not like that aspect.
Domino - Loved it, had it since it was released, maybe only the 2nd Festool I've ever bought new. Bought it for a stair railing job and used it for many staircases as well as tons of cabinets and doors, but way too high dollar to sit when I didn't have any active cabinet type work calling my name. I'd buy another if the right job came up. sold it for a bit more than I paid new though.
Parallel guides - used for a large job, but no secrets the poor design decisions they've got going for them... SOLD!
LS130 sander - was a complete surprise how single use this sander was - barely used it.
My situation is different though - I buy most of my tools used, so in all all of my festool sales, I've made a bit of money as I've always sold for more than I've paid....

I think it just means that you haven't fully realized all the benefits of the Festool system. Lots of thing seem ridiculous until you try them.

Does the fact I find this side-splittingly hilarious indicate I'm unfit to be a dad? [eek]
I mean, the quick clamps do have rubber pads...it's not like I'd be using bare metal clamps or anything.
We here on FOG DOUBLE DARE you to You Tube this . Of course, post it under an alias just to be on the safe side....

Hmmm... I'm thinking of a taller auxiliary fence for the clamping elements. And maybe a bungee cord adapted to fit around a pair of Parf dogs... That would keep the tyke in alignment with little chance of damage (to the tyke, that is). [big grin]
