Be nice if he'd stick his head in here on occasion like he used to ...

If that is a April Fool's joke, it's a disappointing one. That could be
a very useful tool, especially for areas that tend to have long linear
work areas, like the track on a model railroad. A long hose is nice, but
you have to really watch it as it will damage other things on the layout
as it goes along.

IIRC, 67 dB(A) compares to something along the lines of a normal
conversation voice volume? Not bad at all.

That'd be my guess.



BUT! .....(and I'd forgotten this one) it's essentially a "drill
press" and can be easily brought to the work.

Seriously, whenever we couldn't mount a mag drill base, we'd use one
of these pieces of junk (all metal, back then):

Hi Leon,
I know it's real but my initial impression was "it's a joke" because of the day it was unveiled and the numerous comments I've seen about what can be stuffed into a systainer. It looks good but my only criticism is based on comments from a my local Festool seller - he (Brian) got to demo one last week but didn't tell me about it, curse him - who said that there is no method to reduce the suction and it causes the ETS125 to work harder when sanding. Brian told me he expects his shipments to arrive mid April. It looks like a great clean up device and it sure is a lot less bulky than a CT.
I'm also a Festool user and this may make its way into the stockpile of systainers in my wokshop unless my wife finds it more useful somewhere in the house.
Keep making wood dust, read you later,
Marc

Suction would be an issue ESPECUALLY when sanding unless the sander is
not completely covering the surface.
The sanders, when completely covering the paper, not only make the
sander work harder but make the user work harder.
I will say that the CFM appears to be 80% of the ones that roll around
on wheels.

In a pinch one could drill holes in the hose coupling to create an air
leak and then tape over the holes when you wanted full suction.

AND that thing holds just over 1 gal so IMHO it would be more of a back
up unit to the ones that have wheels. Those hold 2.5 to 9.5 gallons.

I think this ones only advantage is that it would be easier to move up
and down stairs.

More Systainers isn't a good idea. My wife just counts them and
multiplies by a big number to see what I'm up to. She knows what
green means. ;-)

I was in Woodcraft today...
Cashier to guy in front of me: "That'll be $378.somethingsomething."
Woman behind me to guy in front: "By the price, I knew that was you
checking out.
Cashier: "If I'd known she was here, I would have whispered."
Man in front: "Don't worry about it. She'll reimburse me later."
Woman: "As if that's ever going to happen!"

Me: "I feel like I'm at home."
