Your Festool Purchases (SECOND Purchase Only)

[SittingElf]

I wish I could remember! [eek]  The last two years have been a GREEN blur! After the CXS, it 'might' have been the T18+3, but I truly can't remember what was #2.

Cheers,

Out of a wealth of curiosity, and a spat of boredom.... I went back to all my purchase invoices to see if I could answer the original question.

Success!  The second Festool I bought was an ETS 125 Sander one month after the CXS first purchase, and thereafter I found I needed a better ShopVac/Dust Collector, and that's when the Green Disease started in earnest! [scared]  Not Kidding!! [eek]

after buying a TS55 REBQ-Plus-FS, I looked through the website and there was most "special offer" ...

... I bought a MFT/3.

Well, hey Chrisprols, welcome to the FOG forum. 
Looks like you're on your way with some good Festool kit.  It's been  a long time, but I think my first/second purchase was not quite identical, but similar to many others on here:  a Ts75 saw, the old style MFT table, and a CT vac
I see you're from France so:  "Bienvenue!"

added PS to the other members:
I couldn't help but notice the post above the last one.  Whatever happened to the blue elf guy--does anyone know?  He seemed pretty gung-ho about the whole Festool brand and very enthusiastic to detail all his purchases.  I don't recall seeing any posts by him recently.  Did he flame out and got hooked on some other type of buying spree?  I do remember that he had some amusing threads--has anyone kept in touch with the guy?  It'd be a shame for Festool / FOG to lose the captain of its cheerleading team.

CT36 was the second

ETS 150/3 for me.

Needed a finishing sander. Thought it would be good in the future to have a finishing sander finer than a Rotex 150 in the future.

There was a deal for 100 discs of 160 grit paper for free with the deal, normally $106 down under.

Regards

Picked up a minty fresh CT26 from a garage sale for $350.  I've been quite happy with it running alongside my big dust collector for added flexibility in dust management.

After my first Festool purchase which was the TS55, a cable deflector, and carrying bag for 1400mm guide rail, I ordered my second batch if tools on May 6, 2020. These were:

Festool KAPEX KS120 REB Mitre Saw 230V
2 x 1400mm guide rails,
800mm guide rail.

For a total of £1,629.52, which included express air shipping and customs duties from axminster in the UK to Botswana. I won't get to see these tools til December when I go on leave. I'm in the US through the year.

My 2nd purchase was a CXS set.  I have a few other things on my list but this one was quick pull of trigger and it was in stock. My first cordless drill/driver was 30 years ago when Milwaukee started cordless (NiCad) based, the drill shape matched their std pistol/inline style of grip.  The CXS is a nice change from my current T style cordless Dewalts.

A concurrent purchase of CTM 36 AC + CT-VA + Workshop cleaning set (36 hose) + TSC 55 set + 2700 rail.

What is kinda funny, the purchase started with considering a CTL 26 + TSC 55 basic + 55" rail to complement my AGC 18 for a "minimum investment" and ended in "all that is needed" order.

What changed was I discovered FOG during my research and came to conclusion that I better "go the whole hog" on the vac and get the second charger (had one from AGC 18) instead of finding my new and shiny vac lacking for that odd task.

I would have probably never went all-in like that had I not discovered the "system" or even what the "all-inclusive-service" mean - all thanks to the wealth of info on FOG.
