Got a few used tools and jigs. First time with any Festool machines. Can't wait to try them out.
First up: Leigh D4R Pro jig. Came with two guide bushings, 20 Whiteside dovetail bits (almost all of them unused) and the VSR attachment. It's missing the manual, allen wrench driver and one finger lock down screw. Cleaned it up and seems to be fine.

Next is a Festool Domino DF 500. This is the older style with the reference pins. It came with 5 cutters (2- 5mm and one of each 6, 8, 10), and four full boxes of tenons. Looks like only the 10 mm cutter was ever used. Cleaned it up and did a few test mortises last night with the 10 mm cutter. Amazing.

Also got a Festool RO150 FEQ sander, with about 1300 sanding discs in various grits, from 180 to 1200. Barely used, works great.

Lastly is a Festool CT Mini. Missing a few components. Needs a hepa filter, filter locking handle and an antistatic 27 mm reducing sleeve for the hose. Cleaned it out and fired it up. Works well, just need the filter and I'm good to go.

Got it all shipped to my door for $1300.

Think I'll get a lot of use out of all the tools, especially the Domino. I do a lot of M&T joints with my FMT Pro, Powermatic mortiser and by hand. Just another method to add to my arsenal.

Where did you find these bargains?

Nice score.

Lee Valley sells the instruction manual separately, $13.00, you defiantly need the manual for that jig. You could probably get it from Leigh directly also.

Wow! Let me be the first to say you suck.

Nice score.

It was from a fellow creeker, who is moving overseas.

Mike,
Thanks. Already ordered one from Leigh. Should have gotten it from LeeValley as they have free shipping. Oh well....
