I wonder how they even ship the 197" from the factory.

John

Expensively. You had to ask?

 

[semenza]

That's true, Seth, placed end to end the total table length is 192". But then I'd have to get the 197" guide rail, and knock a hole in the back wall of my garage. 

And then there's the problem of transporting a 197" guide,  my 118" only fits in my truck if I stick it through the rear window of the cab and up on the dash.

John

Yeah, so whats theproblem? :  Get an 18' trailer and a knock that hole in the wall!  You don't really think that little stuff like that will slow your slide  do you?

As it happens, the subject of use of the garage has been a sticking point with my wife for a long time now, and the edition of my expansive MFTs has only made matters worse. Plus, she just got a new car and has come up with some crazy notion that she should be able to keep it in what I now like to call my workshop. She's been making noises about me moving some of my stuff out.

If she puts me in the position of choosing between her and my tools, I'm sure gonna miss her.

That's why one of our industrious forefather's invented the carport. She's out of the rain, you're still in the shop.

And make no mistake, unless her Mom gave you that house and said she always wanted her daughter's car parked inside, that is your shop first.

If cars had to be inside they wouldn't have wasted all that energy painting them.

Stand fast my brother.

CMS insert for Of 1400
DOMINO (2 days old acquisition)

Planing for RO125
Dreaming about KAPEX 120 

Oh yes my family is expanding.

Merry X-mas Martin. ;D

I like the step stool, it was a project we did at school during my 1st teaching career in the early 80's.

Hi- This is my 1st post.  I have no Festools.  I looked at a lot of Domino online info when it came out and got into Festools in general.  I was impressed with seeing videos of the saw and table.  Yesterday I saw one Festool lady, a professional, I think, who said she got rid of her table saw.  I'm pressed for space and it seems that the MFT and saw has superior squaring papabilities- besides being space saving.

Byron,

Welcome to the forum!   

I think you'll find that there's a lot of enthusiasm for Festool tools.  However, each of us has our unique wants, needs, perceptions, and constraints.  Part of the goal of this forum is to help find the best match of tools for our situation.   

I have space constraints too.   Here's a discussion of shop/garage storage that may address my issue.  I'll implement something like this after my master bath remodel is done.   I thought might be interested: http://festoolownersgroup.com/index.php?topic=1614.0.

Regards,

Dan.

p.s., here's a pic of my "shop" (master bath) a couple of months ago.  The sub-floor that you see was cut to 1mm precision IN the bathroom with my TS55.   8)

I hope I can change my status. One more tool and I'm at 10. ;D I must be crazy.

Yes, of course, that's especially important in a poll like this!  As the poll says, "Change your vote as your status changes!"
Maybe I'll have to create new categories soon, like, "I Can't Count that High" or "There's Nothing Festool Makes that I Don't Have."

Wow...I know some may not like this comment: I lost count.  I would post what I have, but that would make think and realize how much money has been spent.

I have 5 Festools now as of yesterday. I purchase locally from my hardwood dealer (Hardware Specialities) even though I don't buy much I am a friend of the owners and believe in supporting the local distributer.  I could of spent the $2K yesterday for the new tools from a online store and saved 10% but as I told the owners I appreciate the local store front and the easy access to help and trade prices on the hardwoods that I do infrequently buy. Made a lot of points with them, I felt it was money well spent.
They have asked me to give them some pictures of the work I have done and they will promote the work I do, can't ask for more than that.

Yeah!! Im in hardware specialties all the time, Terry,Amy,Dave,rob,Scott all them guys are great down there. I got 5 festies now hoping to get the jigsaw for Xmas. I'm always interested in seeing what people in my area are are doing.
