Think about their ROS and maybe something else.

What would you get?

 

[3fingers]

I have just about all they offer in America. But the first purchase awhile ago was the ros an vacuum. Now I have 5. Never would buy any other unless someone produces a better product.

But one of the best things they have us the track saw. It is great at the shop an in the field. An the router works with the track as well. Go get one its wonderful. I could have never done this corner with out one.

You want to get one of the dust extractors.

I have bought 12k worth of Festool's. I can't pick a favorite.

I'd have to say the Kapex and a tracksaw.

Do you still use your table saw now that you have the track saw?

 

[Fred Hargis]

Well, I only have one and it's the tracksaw.

 

[3fingers]

Oh yes. The saw comes in handy when it would be hard to difficult without an extensive jig. An the tracks are versatile u can use it with the router. The only thing that would replace this saw would be a panel saw but those run up to $15,000

track saw would be the first....the second tool would be a hard choice.

I won't be able to afford the kapex but that tracksaw and guide system look incredible. does the saw actually operate that smoothly and seamlessly?

I have a skil hd77 wormdrive circ saw and it is a beast to handle. a bit too aggressive for my needs.

I love my rail saw. Had one for going on 6 years now.

Here is a shameless plug for me and the rail saw.

I gotta say man you inspire me. You remind me so much of my grandfather its crazy. Im 30 years old and have been doing the same types of jobs as you for the last 6 years for my own small company. This business is about quality and reputation and you seem to have that. If very evident that you love what you do and I was always taught that if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life. Thanks for the vid man. It really made an impact on me.

I'd buy none....Yes their great tools.....but I could use the same amount of money to buy 5 or 6 other tools that are of really good quality.

You sure can buy several of the other brands for the price of one Festool.

I will guarantee that those other tools won't last a person, that depends on their tools daily, as long as the Festool. When my Grandfather was my age, a skill saw cost him more then a weeks wages, but that saw is still working today.

Those 80.00 saws you can run out and buy, won't make it 5 years of daily use.

I can't afford cheap tools.

 

[ryan50hrl]

Oh sure.....not arguing that one bit....but for me.....they're just not worth it. I won't buy an 80 dollar saw.....but the 250 dollar grizzly track saw will work fine......

Festool and all the other top of the line tool companies have their place......just probably not in my shop for a long long long while......

Now if they want to prove me wrong by providing a track saw to try out....I may change my mind.....lol

Sorry.

My wife won a Festool orbital sander as a doorprize and I must say its a well made machine. It made my old palm sander quit working in a fit of jealousy. Who knew?

 

[wood_chucker]

Well it would be the domino for me with no competition from there other products. I really really want to splurge and get one but not today, or tommorow. Or most likely ever lol.
