Finally took the leap and bought one! It was a tough decision! BUT....... Totally worth it! I've been primarily using a Makita BO6040 for most jobs. and a 9227 for major corrections. And before that a PC, Cyclo, and I've also tried the Flex. The Festool is incredible! Smooth, lots of power, ergonomic, balanced. The only thing I did notice it has has a high pitch sound which is pretty loud.



It was snowing yesterday so I set up a Chevy door that I used for PDR and tested it out. The door had some deep scratches, waterspots, and swirls. In the Rotex rotary motion (Forced rotation) It removes deep scratches quickly, it is also alot more controllable than my BO6040 in the same mode. The Festool is really smooth and powerfull in this mode I started out in #6 using orange pad w/Extreme cut, then #4 with 106FF. It seems like it leaves a depth and shine my BO6040, PC, or Flex couldnt achieve.(could be all in my mind because the $$$ I spent)



In the Eccentric mode (Random Orbit) it also alot more smooth and powerfull compared to the others I've used.



The Festool is simply awesome!

Sorry pics not to good

It is such an Incredible machine, built so well, I guess its like they say " You get what you pay for" I wish I got one before!
 
most hardware stores will carry them. not sure though cause there alittle on the expensive side. festool is a high end brand. cant speak for pads though
 
Totally off topic, sorry...



CaptinFocker, which model Focker do you Captain? :) F28? F100?



Edit: Mods, we're not being disgusting, promise... it's aviation related.

I assume they gave you cost? Not many store will do that. How much do you sell it for in your store?
 
<------dosent have a festool, just chimed in cause i was messing with them today. Um dont know about price. I'll look tomorrow just for kicks.
 
Ah, you had me fooled...I was thinking you were a captain on one of the Focker aircraft. Not many are left in service nowadays, though.
