Turned a zebra wood pen after work. This my own pen! I've made a bunch but they've been gifts so I finally get one!

God Comp......AGAIN???

Yeah they have a no question asked return policy for 30 days. I'd give the batteries a try in your buddies drills but I'm thinking its a tool issue.

Have you got any other cordless tools from Festool marsh?

I'm thinking it's the tool too. I can't see how you'd get two types of batteries running amuck whereas if there is an wiring issue or computer problem with the tool causing the battery drainage issues that would seem to make more sense. I'd really like for you to follow up here regardless because I'm curious as to what the issue is myself.

Jimbo, have you gotten your items yet? Did you have to pay customs?

Also marsh, here is the link to Festool USA warranty service repair center. I have never actually had to have a warranty return but from what I understand, new used or reconditioned the tools still carry the full warranty so if there is a battery issue these guys will take care of it quickly. https://www.festoolusa.com/service/repairs/

I just ordered the HKC55 but am running 4.2a in my T18 and they are awesome. I haven't upgraded to the 5.2s yet.

Yeah, you might have a defective unit, that machine should cut a lot of linear feet. Any chance you bought the unit used?

Apparently your a Bill Burr fan

Welcome to the forum dude!

Still any word on a brushless model coming out? And thanks Rossi great news!

Whoa whoa whoa.......IM NOT SAYING THAT!!!!!!! Let's not jump to conclusions here!

Seriously though, social skills have dropped so dramatically over the last few years. It's amazing having lived in both time frames to see before and after.

I'm sorry Comp, what was that? I was on my phone surfing

Ha! I got the same darn tripod for shooting my videos a couple of months ago. I have been shooting them for a couple of years but was using a 1x trimmed to hold my cell. The tripod actually works great with my iPhone 6+ even in the case.

Yeah I was kind of survived by the results on your video. I have really been thinking about getting that machine but was just curious

Jimbo, any more about the oil impact they have? Have you had any more use on it?

Pancake Stack Mmmmmmm

This is a must have for me. Really looking forward to this coming out.

Rich I don't have the Bosch, I bought the DW745 Dewalt after a lot of research. I would add after looking at the stats it appears you got a good machine! I like the Bosch but....18" Rip right side. Kobalt.....30" right, 14" left. Both take Dados. Kobalt has a three year warranty vs. One year. I would love to hear your thoughts but I think you got the better machine. And I love Bosch tools.

Nice. This is why we have metrosexuals. The zombie apocalypse is coming and these morons will be the first ones trying to eat us.

Jimbo, I haven't seen the new one out but supposedly they took some great innovations to make their new machine much better including upping the power level. The one you have is the ubictuous compact router and is an absolutely awesome machine. I used to have the Ridgid, but it was actually too small for me and I was prone to tip it. Great machine just too easy for me to get myself hurt cause of my meat grips were too big,
