Re: Templates/Jigs for shelving holes, Festool? I have the Festool system (LR32) and think it works great. However, I didn't buy the whole kit. The whole kit comes with two 5mm bits and a 35mm bit. I have zero need for any of them since I use 1/4" bits for my shelf holes and do my 35mm holes on a drill press.
That is why I bough the longer Festool track locally at the one place in the state that carries Festool, (most of the time - if it is in stock). :) “Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.†Abraham J.

That is really the only Festool that I have had any reservations about. They are a treat to use and have helped to keep me interested in doing finish carpentry after doing it for some thirty-four years. It is the toys that keep a lot of us going.

I know alot of people don't feel the need for the 150/5 as it duplicates the specs of the RO150 in RO mode but it is so much nicer to use. The one I could skip completely is the 150/3.

I recently decided to use several of the festool boxes to store tools etc. and clean my van. thought you might like to see before it gets all f up and and we have to start looking for AL again !!!
The Festool/Stability levels may be even nicer than the standard Stabilas, but I doubt if they are any more accurate. And, try to find that Festool/Stabila in a darkened room.
The Festool is fine if all it does is stay attached to a tool but I prefer an all around vac for the jobsite rather than having to carry two vacuums with me. Just my two cents. I'm leaning to that as well, I love the Fein so much why switch. Now that I know the Festool products will attach - I think that seals the deal.
Re: The Reason We use Festool Nice short simple video. The dust extraction and how all the tools work together are really what made me do the switch to Festool. I've been wanting to do a shorter 36mm hose for my kapex, did you find a dealer that sold you a shorter hose or did you just cut up a long one? Also did you see any increase in dust collection between a full length 36mm hose verses the ...
Having recently sold my cabinet saw I am now in the market for a track saw. The local tool guy has the Makita track saw in stock versus driving 2 hrs for the Festool. My question though is Makita going to offer any additional accessories such as router adapters etc to their guide system? Seems like a track setup can be much more versatile than just using it as a saw guide.
Festool continues its commitment to support discontinued power tools with the CT 22 and CT 33 Dust Extractors through the availability of spare parts, accessories, and consumables for a minimum of seven years after the date of discontinuance.
