New member & self confessed Festool addict!
Hi all, new to the forum and have started using Festool equipment just over a year ago and am totally addicted with no relief in sight. Look forward to contributing to this forum and learning more too.

Welcome to the Forum.
What Festools do you have/use?
I only have a couple of their sanders and I reckon they are the bees knees.- Wood Borer

Welcome to the forum. Lots of Festo addicts here. Bet you can't buy just one!

Welcome Fusilier!
Im still on one Festool (Domino)
If I could buy them easily here, I'd have much more
Bloke, I too bet it wont stay one for long alot of people buy one, then before they know it, their banks are empty and their workshops are full of green and black

Well Eli,
You may have noticed that when you move house, the coat hangers know where you're going and get there first and multiply. Wish Festools would do that.

Blowflies were the only thing that multiplied here before I got here, although the Festools and coat hangers have made up for lost time...

welcome Fusilier
Welcome mate, and glad to have you aboard but watch the downside on the pocket that is once you apply yourself to a Festool ...nothing really after that ...it's Nirvana applied in a technical sense.
Like Iain, I have the Rotex, withstood with angst the Credit card meltdown until 'Er 'Indoors said get what you need to before you retire next year....bloody hell Santa came early ..........
Currently have the Rotex,Domino,C12,TS55,CTMini dust extractor and am currently eying off the Kapex which may mean a trip up to Perth before I go back to work.
Hard to deny that these tools are well engineered and that a lot of clever thought has gone into their production but you'd know that hence your posts,.
Cheers

yup it is all about the the white boxes.
it has taken a while but i have finally figured out how not to be afraid of going down to the festool dealer....buy everything so he can not show you anything new. it is working for me....at least for the moment.....enjoy the tools
