Now that's great service,sadly I don't have a local woodcraft. My only local option for a FESTOOL is acme tools. I love that store, but other options would be nice.
-
Yeah I have a bookcase and coffee table I wanted to finish sand with the FESTOOL.not making money but I was holding off finishing them until I got the Pro5,lay off is coming soon and it would have been perfect timing,oh well guess the ol dewalt will get a bit more use.

Could be worse. You could have ordered flex volt from CPO and just never got it.
Yeah I noticed a lot of people on this forum pre ordered and haven't received anything while Home Depot,acme etc have them in stores. How can a company knowingly screw over early adopters like that? They are usually the most loyal customers.
I mean they couldn't fill the pre orders before sending them to others? I've heard of people having to wait on pre orders because of no stock but not when they have tools to ship.imo it's unacceptable and they need to kiss these customers asses to make up for it. Free tools or batteries would work I imagine.

Has anyone got there's yet and if so did you get your order in the 1st,2nd 3rd etc day? I'm just curious because I got an email stating that they oversold and I can expect my sander on march 23rd. I find it ridiculous that festool didn't foresee how fast that a $99 sander would sale. I,m sorry but I find a 5 month delay unacceptable and this tarnishes how I view the company.

No I haven't yet on the drill chucks.but the festool plunge base apparently works with the supercut after shaving off the hump, seems like there is a gap between the blade and plungebase.
I can't find anything about the chucks online but my local acme does carry the drill and plunge base, and they will let me bring my drill and sc in try them out before I buy.

Hi,I rarely post here but check the forums almost daily and the community here seems great and value your opinions.This might seem like a dumb question but does the FESTOOL chucks work with fein drills? I've never handled a FESTOOL drill so I don't really know how similar it is to the fein. I love the fein 18v but I was kind of expecting them to offer a right angle chuck and one similar to the eccentric chuck. oh and I have the supercut and does anyone know if the FESTOOL plunge base and depth stop work with the fein ? I know that fein had FESTOOL shared tech with the above tools but the designs are vastly different and the store that has the plungebase and depth stop doesn't allow returns on FESTOOL accessories.
Any info would be much appreciated,thanks!

will the Eu model have a brushless or brushed motor?

I read a review of that chainsaw and lets just say that the guy was impressed with it.

I don't own one, but my votes for dewalt of course. The numbers on the other saws r impressive though. I'm waiting for a 12" sliding cordless miter saw. And I'm thinking run time and number of cuts could be easily improved with a diablo blade.
Yeah I used the Dewalt blade that came with the saw and wasn't all that impressed so I bought a Diablo and its so much smoother with a cleaner cut that I could definitely see you getting more cuts with the Diablo.
-
Makita did the strangest thing . They made a 18V X2 miter saw and its only a 7.5" blade but there 18V saw is 8.5". I wish they would have taken the 18V X2 and brought out a 10" saw.Maybe they will who knows but for $599 (bare tool) I would like at least a 10" saw.
-
I know that first gen Milwaukee fuel and Fein drills do have different power ratings for the 2.0ah and 4.0 ah batteries. My dewalt is equal across the board.
-
the old XRP batteries were running at 2.4 ah if i'm not mistaken.
-
I wouldn't say its a big mistake. Almost All companies with the exception of Ryobi have changed their batteries over the years. Dewalt had a lot more tools out there and so we hear more complaints but change is a good thing. I mean they still sell the stick batteries which most other companies can't say so its not like they left customers high and dry.
-
I use the DWV9000 for my shop vac. I believes its 1 1/4" adaptor.
-
well 54nm isn't that powerful, its actually only about 477 in lbs of torque. so they better hope that bolt isn't rusted on or they may be SOL!
-
unless you rent, no but I have the blower and like it but one thing I wish it included was a tube adaptor, its a bit too big to really control what you are blowing. One other thing I noticed is that the battery loses power with about 10-15% charge left, I thought that lithium ion batteries lost no juice but just shut off when the battery dies.
-
They've got a Mirka set with the vac on clearance at woodcraft here in NH for $500!!!!! Awesome deal! Already vested in my Festools but boy what a deal!
I guess this one comes with some kind of converter with the set. Still I don't want to drop five bones right now but that's one heck of a deal!
this just a local instore deal or did you see it online?

I have 3 of the tough boxes. I made a liner from foam for the Dewalt drill set I have since all it had was a bag. I bought a Dewalt 20v recip and it came with one. I got the big one as a carrier for other stuff. They are pretty rugged. I was looking forward to that new Dewalt radio but now this Milwaukee is out and seems like a better pick. Also the Milwaukee will charge batteries. Can't beat that.
The Dewalt tough case radio will charge batteries as well. It has 4 speakers and 2 subs so the sound should be better than the older models. Can anyone confirm that the tough case radio has better sound and bass than previous models? OH and they finally put BT in the full size radios, no more adaptors necessary .
-
They all have a 3 year limited warranty in the states.
Oh so other countries only get 1 year? That just doesn't seem right to me but what do I know.
-
why you guys always teasing???
yeah quit teasing us, its cruel!!
..................haha no only kidding, any info is appreciated guys, keep it coming!! -
It would have been nice if they went the Makita route and went with 2 20V batteries instead of the insanely expensive 40V. I mean everyone has a handful of 20V batteries.
-
We just need the tough system "tea station" now
my local hardware store had the Makita battery operated coffee maker on the front desk and well it looks like it will brew a 4-5 oz cup of coffee lol. Maybe if you are out ice fishing than I can see it being worth the money and hassle but other than that .....?
-
How can a bigger battery give you more power/torque... More runtime I can understand ..
Milwaukee does this too with the XC batteries over the 2.0. you only get the full power from the XC batteries. Than again I'm thinking they throttled the 2.0 batteries so they last longer is all. I may be wrong just a guess.
-
ebay has some, I got one but the thing is that it's made for the compact so won't fit with batteries which makes it kinda pointless for me since I have the 296M2 kit. I have pics under a different thread.I can post more if you are interested but I think they came from the UK since they sell them over there.

Hey thanks for that article! I've heard them mention different attachments before ,hopefully this time they come through and not just for the 12v models. Those are awesome btw, a 12v drill with 4 speeds and the quick change chuck,yet are compact! Oh and I'm hoping that the price is reasonable on the chucks.
