Dito for Canberra

I finally got to see the 14 at the Canberra Show this weekend past, unfortunately they were all sold out including the next shipment. Having finally seen one in the flesh, I was sold, but...

The BS 120 does exist, but then I have never seen another one in the wild, only those held in captivity, in fact mine was freed from captivity on special, that does happen occasionally. It was this...

I don't think you would have any problems with a TS75 doing those tasks you described. I've only got the TS55 and I regularly use it to rip recycled hardwood Pallots, if I recall right the TS75 has...

I have the TS 55 with the CMS it's ideal for a small work shop, but it won't rip 2400 x 1200 sheets, but the TS with guide rail works fine. This is not a cheap solution but it is cheaper than the...

The Load bearing capacity of the ceiling is not an issue, as for the ownership of the concrete,that is a good question , one that I want to avoid by having the work done by the builder before...

Currently in the final stages of building our new townhouse, which has a dedicated garage for my workshop, it is underground, reinforced concrete and at the moment it is just a bare shell. I want to...

Thanks for the responses, especially yours Gerhard should you find yourself in OZ there are a couple of cold beers waiting

Unfortunately in the process of unpacking a removalist dropped my QF1400 onto the Garage floor while it appaers to be unharmed I'm reluctant to use it without it getting looked at by a Festool...

There is some flex in the fence along the left to right axis, this has not effected the achieving a true 90 degree face as it stays true on the up and down axis.

The Hammer A3 31

Configuration:
Single Phase
Clock Wheel Thicknesser adjuster
Wheels and Bar

Additionally I needed to get a 20 Amp...

Space was my main limiting factor, hence why I have the Festool CMS, the Hammer A3 31 will be my largest tool, aside from my work bench, and that may be replaced with a MFT. A separate Jointer and...

After much deliberation, I have opted for the Hammer A3-31, I should have it next week, I decided to the extra cost for the Austrian Engineering, having previously trusted my life to their...

You do realise that no one actually drinks fosters in Australia, in fact I can't remember the last time I saw it at the bottle shop
:cheers2:

I hate it when I do that

Has anyone here got the Hammer A3-31? and if so what has been your experience?

I have the two 1400 rails and join them to rip 2400 boards and it does that a treat.

If you get the TS55, you may want to consider the CMS module or the new MFT3 with CMS extension

I've been told that the importer still has old stock and the new Revo's and Vario's won't be available until these have been moved.:doh::doh:

The Australian importer still has stock of the old clamps and won't be getting the new ones until they have cleared there current stock.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a supplier in the US...

I've only recently succumbed to the temptation to Buy a Domino, and while it is bit on the side of expensive it does everything it claims with ease and accuracy, I also own the ozy, which is a great...

If anyones interested F&K Tools in Sydney still have Dominoes with the original pins in stock

PS My only association with F&K is that I've spent a lot of Money there including buying My Domino.

I got my Domino last week, it has the original pins as does the cross stop, I think they still had some in stock

Scratch , the Domino off the wish list, I'm building a wine slash TV wall unit, and it was the perfect excuse.

Also scratch the MFT1080, I now want the MFT3, which works in with the CMS

Have you considered fitting the TS 75 to a CMS?

My plans are on hold as I'm waiting to find out if I'm going OS, If I do it will be about 6-8 months, given warranties are only 12 months, I been told by SWMBO to wait until I get back.

Good Luck

Anthony

Any news on those tool points?

Hoppoz

Now that I didn't know I will have to go down stairs and have a look

I haven't seen the new MFT3 except on the German Website.

It is the same height as the CMS 90cm and and has the same side profile as the CMS?

Does anyone know when this will be available in OZ?

YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE ONCE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND FESTOOL TALK, IT'S TO LATE YOU ARE LOST AND THERE IS NO TURNING BACK!!!

I went the CT 33, Same foot print as the CT22 just slightly taller and best of all bigger bag, weight empty is not an issue

At the end of the day you get what you pay for, and I'm happy with what I've got for my Aussie Dollar

:2tsup:

More temptation, and the WWS this weekend as well

Hoppoz

The Aussie Dollar has improved against the US$, but the same can't be said for the Euro, and unfortunately, that is the currency that counts when it comes to Festool!

Don't forget the Dead Horse!

Simple, I went down the CMS route because my shed is space challenged, I have the four units TS55 QF1400 Jigsaw and Belt sander. And they are great with out question.

But I have now arrived at...

What I really need is a Jointer/Planer module for the CMS?

Bloody, Bloody, that solves one of my few complaints with 1400 Module!

I assume that these will be on display at the Sydney Wood Working Show?

Anthony

Thanks, I look forward to hearing the answer

Hoppoz :2tsup:

Ah Bugger, Just when I thought CMS couldn't tempt me anymore?

Hoppoz

Thanks for your considered response, as you said no surprises!

But I still don't know why FESTOOL don't you their point system here in OZ, especially when its included on their price list?
...

Anthony

As an Official Festool Dealer, I'm assuming you have put this question to Festool?

Can you share with us the answer they provided?

PS Why don't they use their tool points system...

Derek

Nice work
:2tsup:

I'm currently leaning toward a Carbatec Jointer Planer Combination, but still researching.

Has any one used the WoodFast 12" Planer Thicknesser?

How would you have a TS55 for sale and not know how old it is?

Buyer Beware!

I saw a Makita copy of the festool guide rail today, with exception of the colour and branding it was exactly the same. Its sold with a TS55 wanabe, but its only $150 cheaper than the real deal!

....

Bugger:o

Seriously, does anyone know?:?

Those poor buggers haven't got the CMS yet, mores the pitty
