No, Thinking about it though, its a big chunk of money for a mitre saw, but it looks the business.
The bevel adjustment far exceeds anything else on the market.

Yes. I don't think it's something I'd like to take on site, but you may have read elsewhere that I want to 'slow down' and spend more time( actually all the time) in the workshop, hence the festooling up  |

I know the feeling Dom, I'm trying to do much the same but with joinery rather than furniture making. Supply only to trade customers.
what other Festool items are in your arsenal?

Only just started really but, TS55 with 2400 and 1200 guide rail, Rotex 150, Palm sander, Domino and vacuum which I have to say is excellent. The Rotex sander is also very good, I found with other sanders that 'swirl' marks occurred occasionally but even on rough sand setting the Rotex shows nothing p'raps it's down to good extraction. The saw and guides are also first class but you need to get a deflector to keep hose and cable from snagging. The Domino has not had a serious outing yet. |

Oooh. Festools out.
CS70, Rotex, Linear sanding thingy, CT44 (great extractors), (oh and mumble BS105 erm how the hell did I justify that to myself even at a "bargain" ex-demo ebay price?).
All apart from CS70 from ebay back when bargains were around, my collection has stopped growing...

I've got a couple of ET-2e ROSs ;D I've also got a Holz-Her 2360 laminate trimmer (now badged Festool) and a pair of Mafell OF50e routers (made by Festool). Do they count?
Anyone got any idea how the Bosch GST135BCE and Virutex (if they are still selling their version of the original Festool jigsaw) compare to Festool's current offerings? The Bosch is about £80 cheaper and I've generally had good experiences with Bosch jiggers.
The Bosch GKS68B plunge saw is also going in the near future, so I'll probably be in the market for a Festool or Mafell. Can't really decide which, though
Decisions, decisions

given my output, i am over tooled, if there is such a thing  however, i must confirm that i find the little fein multimate constantly amazing. it sands in the most amazing way and leaves no marks. when you see how small the radius of the pattern is it removes a stunning amount of material, but is so easy to control. one advantage is the length of the cable that comes with it, and of course the latest tool mounting is really great. great for cleaning out mortices or slots that have gone a little wrong  and i still like my mafell saw in a systainer with the bendy guide. the only thought about any guide is if it is too long for the wood, you need to support it properly paul |

Scrit I've got no idea of how good the festool is but I can assure you the Bosch GST135BCE is superb, I can't see how it can be bettered, well not without doubling the price. I got mine for £135. |

And here is my domino tip: You must centre the wobbly bit between the pins! Well I have been using the Domino for a while with great success, but I then put in a larger bit to us a larger dowel. But what this? the edges were just proud, about a mm. Ticking myself off for not clearing the sawdust away I routed the next lot. Well blow me, again not a perfect joint.  Then I noticed that one pin can be adjusted to ensure the router bit is perfectly centralised between the pins. So just because it works perfectly with one router bit, don’t think its perfectly set up the the other sizes. |

Did you adjust the hole size with the 3 position adjuster on the top of the body

Did you adjust the hole size with the 3 position adjuster on the top of the body Dom I left the hole width adjuster to the tightest fit. If you look at the two prongs you will see that one of them can be adjusted but turning the socket in which the pin sits and thus accurately centralise the hole that is routed whether one uses the left or right prong. If this is set correctly you can be sure that the edges of a carcase lines up where one panel has its first hole set from the right side prong and the other panel has to be set from the left hand prong. I guess another way would be to use sloppy fit dowel holes, but I rather like the ability to use the tight fit width to get accurate line up results (or not if you don’t make sure the prongs are adjusted ) |

The oddest thing is that today I've been talking with someone else who's a bit skeptical about the advantages of the Domino in trade use........
