Given that Festool blocks competitive pricing, delivery time seems to
be the only real advantage left so I would like to buy some festool
equipment from an online supplier in Oregon or Washington in order to
minimize shipping time and I need recommendations. Please.

Thanks.

I prefer to support one of the smaller woodworking firms. Woodcraft
and Rockler tend to be my last resort.

That is very noble. You are aware the stores are individually owned, aren't
you?

Woodcrafters (they had this name before there was a Woodcraft, I think)
in NE Portland is a Festool dealer. They don't have an on-line catalog,
but would probably take phone orders. They are good people to do
business with. That said, many Festool orders are taken by dealers and
shipped directly from Festool, so there may not be a delivery time
advantage.

Two other good local businesses are Tool Peddler on SE 82nd and Western
Tool, both have good selections of tools but I don't know if either
sells Festool.

Thanks. I used WoodCrafters recently for an Amana router bit. They
were great.

Yes. As are many Starbucks stores.

needed in stock. Thanks for all the help and advice.
