After using some Festool equipment over the weekend, I've decided to take the plunge into the Fespool and replace some of the Bosch tools I have. I'll still keep the cordless Bosch tools, as they are very handy when working away from my shop. Unfortunately, one of the tools that has given me the most grief is my Bosch GEX 125-A ROS. After nearly two hours of sanding pine planks to be painted, my hands were numb for the rest of the evening. However, the Domino 500 was a joy to use and I now regret not buying one sooner. I would have used Kreg pocket screws for the two small jobs, but my friend didn't want any exposed holes in the wood.
I have narrowed my choice in ROS to the ETS 150/3 and the ETS EC 150/3, but have not had the opportunity to handle either of them yet. I appreciate any recommendations, or reasons not to consider either of them.
I have the CTM 36 E extractor and am impressed with the way it works with the Domino. The hose even fits on the dust port of my Bosch ROS. If Oneida will answer my email, I will likely buy the Ultimate Dust Deputy and move my noisy shop vac to the garage.
