Good Morning,
Thank you everyone for your responses so far!  I've received several notes from members asking for voting options beyond $1500.  I have added a few more.

Everyone who voted for the "Over $1500" in the original poll, please edit your vote to be more specific!

Thank you again!  This information is extremely valuable.

Stay in touch,
Matthew

So, silly question: I think my second and third Festool purchases were consumables. It took quite a bit of sandpaper and a saw blade and such 'til I bought the Domino. So answering the second and third purchases with that would make my first $3300, and thereafter a couple of hundred bucks a visit.

Is that what you were shooting for?

Dan,
I'm mainly interested in tool purchases here.  But that's a good point.

Santa brought me the TS 55 for Christmas.  I told Ms. Clause it would help get her kitchen remodeling done faster.  :

Hi Mathew. Should my answer include the extra sand paper? My first purchase was a TS-75 but my second was only an ETS125eq I did buy about 100.00 bucks of sand paper.

After reading some of the answers here, I can say with all my purchases in the last week counting as my first purchase to get started about $3550.  Does the make me a Festool junkie?

My second purchase was a OF1010 with an adaptor for the CMS table. Still no CT, so even more sawdust on the floor. But very content with the Festool concept.

My home's previous owner used a water based finish on all the louvered closet doors, and the rough surface has nagged me since we moved in, 18 months ago.  Not enough to move them all down to the shop and hand-sand them, but a frequent reminder of that exact task looming in the (one day, some day) future.

One evening I read the DX-93 review, saw it works for exactly that job, thought about my last two months' experience with the 150/3 and CT33, then called my dealer and told him to get me one.  Then called him back and added some consumables.  Again to add a TS55 Panther blade, as I'd had some issues ripping a piece of 8/4 cherry the previous week with the stock TS55 blade.

Haven't actually gotten around to sanding any of the door louvers, but having a new Festool for the task is almost as good.

Midi.

I didn't have an extension cord and the ETS125 needed a friend.  I guess it 'collects dust' pretty well.

I just found all these polls which are quite interesting. I'm alarmed that my 2nd purchase was way over $2000 dollars but at least 9% of respondents are as enlightened or stupid as me!

TS55 set to cut down a fiberglass tub.

My second purchase was October 1 to take advantage of the sanders and accessories price cuts.  I picked up the Rotex 90 that fateful Saturday and indulged in a demo.  When done the guy doing the demo had his abrasives systainer with him and gave me five of each grit of Granat Deltex abrasives. 

Side note:  I noticed the CXS there and he demoed that for me and my mom being retired wanted to come with me saw how my eyes lit up when working with Festool's products decided on the spot to buy me the CXS set.  Technically I can't count the drill as the third purchase as I didn't pay for it.

The second purchase was a TS 55. Haven't used it that much, but when I do it is a huge difference maker over trying to wrestle large sheets on a table saw.

 

[The Coach]

My second was a jigsaw (a PS300) and a bunch of extra blades.

TS55 EBQ-Plus-FS was a good second after my OF1400
