If you run a woodworking business and buy a Festool etc etc [snipped for brevity]

In another five, and ten, after that, it was paid for and you're still
using a tool that has a lifetime of use left in it.



Your choice ... If wwing is a hobby, of course your YMWV.


The first Festool sander was bought for a particular need/use for a
nasty (black) solid surface top. I made that one job pay for that
sander... I didn't make a whole lot of net profit as a result, but I
made out just fine with all the other tops afterwards. Also, that
sander allowed me to be less apprehensive when I sold a darker
coloured countertop, so my market widened somewhat.
Aside from reliability and utility, there is capability; jobs you
wouldn't otherwise tackle.

On that note, I just started a project. I will write about it over the
next few days under a separate thread. It's quite mmmmm interesting.
