    Festool Gloat...

    ATF 55, 118" guide rail, 55" guide rail, systainer, extra blades and clamps: $350.

    I see no reason to post pix on this one because it's all in essentially new condition. (Now I'm itching to buy a lot of plywood.)


    And so it begins, another creeker's slippery slide into the Festool money pit....

    I was wondering why you didn't post this upstairs in the Deals and Discount forum. Did you miss the Jet oscillating spindle sander for $300? Or did you get that one too? Congrats on the gloat.

    If only there wasn't a threat of downsizing at work. Have to keep the funds liquid for now.

    If I don't post in D&D for more than a few days, I'm probably up to something.

    I saw the sander, but there's NO WAY IN HECK that I could convince LOML that I need another sander. No way. Ever.
