There 'ya go... You already have a lot in common with the rest of us - we all want to learn more about Festool.  ;D

Regards,

Dan.

Matthew, I think I heard them mention you just the other day. Amazing! ;D

I'm not sure I want them to remember me!

Any Seinfeld fans out there?  I might be getting the quote mixed up, but an exchange between Jerry and George  went something like this...

Jerry said that women always remember "their first time."
George responded, "I don't want to be remembered.  I want to be forgotten."

Then again, I have an excuse.  I was only 19.

Tezzer,

That post of yours that Dave Rudy quoted was a classic. I could not have done half as well myself. But then I am just a whingeing pom anyway, although I have been dinky di since 1983.

Wonder if the Blues Brothers, Jake and Elroy know they have another sibling.

Just like many others, soaking up Festool and general woodworking knowledge.  Started with an RO 150 and CT22 package, and then saw a boom in a dealer showroom and got it.  Looking to get more.  Speaking of soaking, my main project right now is rescuing my tiny shop (10 X 11 ft.) from water brought by a torrential downpour that flooded most of the homes in my city.  Only got about an 1 1/2 inches of seepage throughout the basement till there was enough for it to flow into the sump pump, which kept up through the night.  Mostly dry now, but a lot of clean up.  I got off easy--many had multiple feet of water, including sewer backup. Yuck! Eight inches of rain in 24 hours, and 3 inches in one of the hours.  I live in a flat area, too.  Festools were rescued early on, of course!

Hey Steve, welcome ... Sorry you are having water problems.

How well does the CT22 work on water.

 

[festeve]

Well, I purchased the foam filter inserts so I could use the CT22 with water, but I didn't know about the bucket insert until later.  I started to set it up for water pickup, and then I realized how difficult it would be to drain the water out without the insert.  I balked at the price of the insert (almost $100), and I decided to get a big Rigid 1850, and I have been very impressed with how it works for this sort of thing.  Not too loud even, certainly better than my old Dirt Devil screamer, which I had to use hearing protection with, even with a Sears muffler stuck on.  The DD did the job though until I got the Rigid.  I think water pickup is last on the list of what the CT can be used for.  It can do it, but it is not designed for it.  The Rigid, and others like it, excell at this.

Hi,
good idea.
I just like to lurk, back here in the shadows, where the wild things are, and the knowledge piles up high.
