NE, how do you like your HL850? I've been eying that for a while now!

Chad, bigmike, madman.. thanks for the kind words guys! I definitely believe in being organized.. it makes jobs go so much smoother and quicker. It also makes it easy to identify if a tool is missing when we're packing up.

It's a never ending thing to me though, I'm always adding or tweaking get my setup.

Eventually I'll try to do a post that walks through my trailer and all my different setups

It's a great planer, not something I use everyday but nice to have when I need it.. I love the fact that the cutter is flush with the right side allowing unlimited depth rebates or getting right up to an adjacent surface.

it's got plenty of power and produces a great finish

takes a little getting used to to eliminate snipe (like a bit deeper cut at the beginning or end of the cut) due to the fact that it's a little bigger and heavier

I bought it to make a replica hand hewn beam for a customer (which turned out awesome) and allowed me to cover the cost of the tool.

Not sure what your needs are but if it's to surface a lot of lumber for woodworking projects you might be better off with a smaller piece of stationary equiplent. I don't do much at all of that type of work

I so wanted to get my hands on the Festool planer, just could never justify cost. I ended up going with the dewalt planer. It's good, but it can't do what the Festool can do.
