Your Festool Purchases (FIRST Purchase Only)

My first was the ct33e and the domino when it came out. It was built into the cost of the project.  Of course that was a lot of $$'s ago.

Domino Jointer.When I first saw the price i laughed and said NEVER!And then a year or so later with my pocket full of tax return money I bit the bullet and got it.Best purchase ever!And I discovered the value of premium quality tools.Now I own the 1010 eq,the 1400 eq,the 22CT with the cleaning kit, and the domino.Next up will be a TS 55 with a few rails and then maybe the parallel guides.Need some $ first though.

I've lurked for a little while...I'll tell my Festool story, because it is a bit accidental.    2 years ago we just started doing up another house.  As I screwed down the floor boards of the last one, I promised myself a decent box of bits for the DeWalt cordless I was using.  I saw the Centrotec set, and for some reason I bought it - it was on special offer (about £210 as I recall) and I thought, "stuff it, I've earned a decent set".

So I got home, and found that the chucks didn't fit on my DeWalt.  Ha ha.  Actually, nothing fitted.  I could see it was terribly clever, and I was intrigued.  So I bought a C12.  ;D    Brilliant combination, and I've used both today for building stud walls.    The DeWalt is still going as well, a good drill, very heavy with a crude clutch, but great for countersinking a bazillion holes in floorboards. 

Once I had the C12, it's all been downhill from there.  TS75, rails, RS100 and RS400 sanders, an OF1010...and last week, a Kapex.  If my Trend vac explodes (that thing has been through hell and back....), then a CTM36 will be on the list.

Festool is all about dust collection and sanders.

First off I got and suggest getting a CT and the Rotex.

Then an MFT and boom arm.

Then a TS and router.

Then a domino and then more and more and more..... in that order.

Nick is wise.  Go with the flow.  Trust in the system....

Boy Scott you jumped in the green pool quickly!

I had to replace all my old stuff that was stolen (not festool) so I (well KREG) decided to upgrade!  ;D Now I just have to figure out what the heck I am going to do with it, and how to use it!  [eek] Most will be used for hobby use, not my business.

I'm looking forward to clearing my garage out of all the stuff I don't need to make room for this stuff. I am definitely likeing the idea of breaking down sheet goods without a tablesaw!

I haven't played with them much, but I must say you can see the quality!

Right new Years I had my shed broke into. They stole a lot of tool but NOT my Festool tools, they were in the garage.

Breaking down sheet good with out a table saw was one of the reasons I bought Festool products. You can read about all the thing i tried before buying the TS55 and the guide rail, when trying to stay away for a table saw.

You have the most important starter products the CT26 Vacuum, the TS55 saw and he MFT/3. Now yo need the Parallel guides to start breaking down sheet goods.

I'm sitting here on a Friday afternoon with the knowledge that my first Festool purchase is the TS55 EQ and that I should see it delivered by UPS on Monday. Can't wait...

 

[peter halle]

Congrats!

Now the fun will begin.

My first was a C12 and a centrotech bit set in the systainer (The first U.S. one?). Now, thousands of dollars later......

 

[pjcoop]

Finally made the big step and just got a CT26 and a ETS 125. I originally was going to get the TS55 but that will have to wait until the new year.
