It was refreshing to see someone get emotional over the outpouring of support they've received. People can spot the real deal. It's impossible to fake. Congrats on the success of your channel, Matt. Your new toy was well-deserved. :)
It's also fantastic to see them putting Christ first in their lives and praising his name proudly on every video. Someday I'll set with the Outlaws at the feet of our savior!!
I was telling my wife about Matt and how his viewers blessed him with tools. Wouldn’t you know, just as I said that to her, sawdust got in my eyes, my eyes got misty, and my voice got all choked up. I’m so happy for Matt, you have built an awesome community.
An honest to God, humble, down to earth guy. Don't see that very often on UA-cam. I came here looking to justify buying a real expensive tool, but now you got me a bit choked up over a vacuum. I hope more good things keep coming your way!
The big thing about the Festool dust collectors are they keep their suction even when the bag is full. I was using a Festool track saw and ripping lot of plywood. After about three hours of ripping, suddenly there was sawdust coming out of the saw. I shut it down and found that the bag was completely full and the suction was now filling the hose. I took the vac out to the dumpster to empty, but the bag was so full it wouldn’t come out of the vacuum. The only way I could get it out was to cut the bag open. I am a big Festool guy and find that when you buy Festool tools, you’re not buying a tool but buying a system. Very well thought out. Hint: if you go to jobsites as part of your job, throw a spare bag in the bottom of the dust collector before putting in the working bag. You will always have an extra and know where it is. Great video! Keep up the great work
As a small shop with a super limited budget Festool was something more of a dream. I knew they were good tools but I couldn’t justify the cost. Then I bought the Domino. GAME CHANGER! This past year I continued adding to my set up. I have the track saw, two sanders and one of the dust extractors. I absolutely love it. I wish I would have gotten the sander and dust extractor sooner. Huge difference. Even my husband was impressed with the dust collection on the sander. He was skeptical. He recently used it for his own project and was amazed. And what a blessing that it was gifted to you. That’s awesome!
The TS75 and the CT36 were the first Festool purchase I made, and I loved them!!! I got the Domino 700 with the adapter and bits next, so I could use any size that the 500 or 700 uses. I honestly thought I’d never get the sanders because I didn’t see the benefits being more than the costs…until I used them in a class at Woodcraft and saw how much time they save 😂
I'm pretty new to wood working. Only a few years. All the tools I own are Skil, Ryobi, and some Dewalt. Now I'm ready to buy dust collection. Afyer watching your videos, I'm definitely buying this set up!! It seems so worth it. Especially for someone like me, that works out of thier garage. Your videos are excellent my man!!! Thanks a million
I've been a cabinet door maker forever, 28yrs...used dewalt sanders...well today I got my first festool ever, a 5" sander...tried a customers out and I was sold...miles better for a finished product...miles!!
I’m subscribing because: 1. You sincerely thanked God and your generous subscribers for blessing you. 2: This video was very informative and entertaining. 3. As a Texas I know the importance of Southern translation.
Matt, It Is So Refreshing To Find A True Believer Sharing Your Knowledge and Time With Us On Your Channel. My Husband And I Just Found You, And We Have Enjoyed Your Videos So Very Much! Thank You For Blessing Our Lives Along With So Many Others Here On UA-cam.
While we might not deserve His blessings or the blessings of others Matt, the appreciation you showed in this video and the content you produce are a light in the darkness for many of us and it's good to see you receive such a cool gift. Glad you were able to put this to good use and I hope the viewer who gifted you this setup was able to get some joy out of seeing your joy in using it!
Of all of the woodworking channels available, you have to be among the most down to earth, modest and kind hosts. You are a testament to what hard work, good intention and devine motivation can produce. As long as you continue to value that which God has blessed you with, he will continue to reward you with those things that matter most in life. Cheers to you and your family!!
Just bought the Festool Domino. Well, after 40 years of woodworking and being a jobsite carpenter, it is an amazing tool that I really should have purchased years ago. You are truely blessed to have been gifted these wonderful tools. Sanding, as we know, is the least appealing aspect of making. Many years ago, I purchased the Bosch, anti-vibe sander. It was expensive, I think I paid around £400 Sterling, but it was worth every penny. I do a lot of sanding, and that tingly feeling after a couple of hours of sanding with the 'Carlos Fandango' £29.99 orbital sander, well, no thanks.
I have had a CT15 dust extractor for a while and love it. Use it with my Fextool track saw, router and Domino. Have been using a Dewalt sander similar to what you have. Always done a good job sanding but dust collection was so-so and the sander was always covered with dust after each job. Decided to add a Festool sander to my collection. The same one you demonstrated. I could not believe how much less time a job took and virtually no dust on the sander. I used Festool paper which works great, no loading, no dust. Gave my Dewalt away. The Festool sander with their paper is the best combination I have ever used for sanding. Note Festool says you will do a better job sanding with the dust extractor speed turned down as a faster pick up speed inhibits the sander from working properly. You demoed the extraction power in the video, it's strong. Good luck with your setup. Nice video.
Festool is expensive but very well made in Germany. Germany are very high in Health and Safety. Here in the UK, health and Safety is being promoted especially for injury and breathing problems. A lot more people do DIY at home, its much better to have safe tools that are quiet, and do not effect your hearing and lungs. I am asthmatic but I do some DIY, so this is a game changer for me. As some homes are old here and have lead paint, protection is VERY important. I am currently saving up for a sander and Extractor. The less vibration on the sander has made my decision. Great video...thanks so much for the honest review, I can tell you are an honest guy. :-)
Yes, the Festool dust extractor is good. I've got a Rotex 90, but for larger areas a Sealey 150 (Mirka Deros clone) works really well with very little vibration for about a third of the price.
I appreciate the humility that you showed in this video expressing your gratitude with just how good God is and how He blessed you with the FESTOOL sander and dust collector.
You truly deserve to be gifted these products Matt. Hard work, being a good person, what goes around, comes around and all of that. I’m just looking at the CT15, it’s a bit more in my price range and I’m literally just getting started after watching tonnes of YT vids for the last couple of years. Keep up the great work! 👍💪🙏
Matt, you deserve all this support. I have seen you listed as a top supporter of other woodworkers on UA-cam. You have given so much to your subscribers and your fellow UA-camrs, It is quite fitting that you should receive! You are appreciated!
Thanks Matt, great videos. You are a wonderful example for all of us who love woodworking, love the Lord, and are grateful!! Grateful for you my friend.
Been watching your videos for a few months now and I think you've become one of my favourite woodworking channels (and I watch most of the other famous channels!). Really great work. Makes me happy.
Matt keep up the great work! "It's the little things and attention to detail" that keeps myself and others watching your videos. Congratulations on all the success!
Matt, I look forward to seeing your videos weekly. You are a real inspiration to me and deserve all the blessings that you get because you are genuine and kind. I never comment but felt compelled to say something because you are the reason I got in to building my own closets and bed. You made me feel it was possible. Keep on keeping on said someone.
The growth and video editing/quality is so awesome in such a small period of time! TREMENDOUS JOB! Keep the content coming and keep chasing your woodworking dreams!
We all receive gifts ...we just don`t always recognize them for what they are. Happy for you brother, keep the videos coming, they`re a big help and inspiration! Best to you and everyone else tuning in! Cheers
Just found your channel and it's great to find a brother woodworker, police officer but mostly a brother in Christ! I retired in 2008 after 27 years from Law Enforcement.
Just like Chick Fil A, Doing God’s work and he extremely blesses! Your orders and views and whatever else you need will be as backed up as their drive thru! Been watching ya for a long time, you so deserve!
My impression is that DeWalt makes good tools, and Festool makes great ones. My ultimate shop would be stationary tools from Felder, handheld tools from Festool, and a Robust tools lathe.
vibration and dust collection are the two best reasons for the festool or mirka sanders. Its one of those tools you have to use to really appreciate how much better they are than big box store sanders.
Good stuff brother. It’s so obvious how blessed you feel for receiving such a beautiful gift, you deserve it. Two things you didn’t mention. The extractor moves around so easily because it’s so light. Sure the wheels are awesome but it can be moved with one finger. Lol. The other thing is how quiet it is. I have mine (older model) set up to where I plug my machine into it and when I turn on the machine I can’t even here if it’s running. I spent a bunch of time walking over to it to make sure it’s on but learned it always is. Lastly, if you hook up a cyclone to it you will never have to deal with bags or filters. I mounted one to the top of my extractor and it handles my whole shop, one tool at a time. I’m about to buy a festool sander. Never in a million years thought I would spend almost 600$ on a sander but it’s worth it to save my hands and get the job done faster.
God works in mysterious ways. Always looking out for his children, pushing/guiding them on our paths. Your doing his work through your channel. Love watching you, and couldn’t be more happy for your success and happiness. Keep up the work. We support you, and you have God watching over you and your amazing family. When you have God, you have nothing to fear. Semper Fi.
You definitely are a blessing to so many other people. Keep doing what you are doing. I have watched and learned from your videos and I have begun to make a nice side hustle out of what you have taught me. Thank you brother.
@@731Woodworks You are welcome. I had to learn something for a side hustle to pay for a surgery that my insurance will not cover. Woodworking projects on your channel are helping me do that.
I have been watching you since you started making videos. I used to laugh at you accent, however I do live in Texas myself :-) I love your honesty and you "kitchen table" discussions. And I love your humbleness. Keep doing what you are doing my friend. You definitely have my support. Take care.
Wait till you see just how full that bag becomes. Their stuff is simply fantastic IMO. It is great to see people's eyes be truly opened when they actually use the product.
Just ran across your UA-cam channel. I'm an amateur woodworker just making a few things for our home. I've been looking at one of those festool dust collectors. Glad you made this video. Love how you include God into your video. We need more of that today in the world we are living in. God bless brother and wishing you success with your channel.
The number one take away here [for me], besides the obvious awesome extractor, was that you know to give the glory to GOD... and did so. It's amazing how our awesome creator works ain't it?!
So there is a God somewhere that decided this guy needs a festool to improve his sanding experience but there is a child in Somalia that hasn't eaten for a month and needs to die. Wow. Pretty amazing and awesome.
@@gaknisguitarsThere are lots of ways to do good in the world, and the example of giving and support here is just one of them. Please don’t piss on the good deeds of others. Peace out!
That's a gorgeous set. I use a CTL-MIDI along with a sander, a jig-saw, a circular saw, and a router, all Bosch. The Festool vac is truely fantastic and I can see that you enjoy using that beauty as much as I do. I wish it will give you that joy for many many years. I enjoyed watching this video and your positivity made me subscribe. Keep up the good work!
You got yourself another subscriber. Great video. Just sold me on buying this festool vacuum, been on the fence but will be a great addition for my business.
Just bought the ETS EC125 yesterday after using a “vibratey” DeWalt for years, which would leave my hand tingling for hours. I have the little systainer vac for on site use but think I need a big vac to have stay in my shop…this review convinced me! Can’t wait to use my new sander…don’t doubt I’ll love it. Love your channel…you’re a straight forward humble guy!
Congrats to you! You and your content are much appreciated. I’m glad that someone was able to show you that with giving you an awesome top on the line product. GOD IS GOOD ALWAYS!!!
I’ve never seen someone on UA-cam I wanted to see succeed more that I have Matt! It’s awesome to see what the Lord is doing with you through your channel!
Recently picked up the same sander and the CT-15, I hate sanding a little less now! Really impressed at how much dust it collects, I’m in the northeast so my home shop slows down a lot in the winter or bad weather because I was only sanding outside. Had the first big sanding session with it today, between the dust extractor and a box fan filter running nearby there was no noticeable dust afterwards.
Sounds encouraging. Just remember, according to the expert in the field, Bill Pence, unless you have a window open and a fan in the window pulling air through your shop, you're breathing in tiny particles into your lungs which are not visible to the eye. This concerns me greatly and currently I'm doing all my cuts and sanding outside with a portable fan to my back and still wearing a dust mask. I'm super sensitive to anything in my lungs so I can tell a difference pretty quickly. I'm trying to invent a new outdoor woodworking setup that keeps people comfortable, machines at a decent temperature, prevents condensation and provides optimal health. I'll let you know if I come up with something in the next 30 years lol
That's so amazing Matt. And a better guy couldn't have been giving something so amazing. Your the man, and I appreciate you and your wife. Your both such good people. God bless you both and your kids too of course. Keep up the awesome videos my friends.. we love y'all.
The guys at my local Woodcraft were saying they have had way more returns for warranty service than ever before recently and talked me out of buying a sanding system. Food for thought.
Nice video, keep up the good work! Watching you put a new disc on the sander reminded me of a tip from another video, if you put a couple of short dowels through the spare discs it makes lining them up almost mindless when you go to get a new one (you plop the sander on the stack so the dowels go in the holes).
Dude, I think I watched a first video of yours last year after I was given some lumber to make a workbench. It's amazing to see the progress over this last year. Glad your getting your shop hooked up!
Nice video. I'm with you Matt, I never expected to ever have anything Festool in my shop either...then Santa came and I'm now a member of the "F-troop"~! I have the ETS 125/3 sander and the CT 36 dust extractor. I've not used it yet, but I'm very excited to do so. Truth be told, I've been to about 3 different stores over the last 18 months and have test driven the different sanders. The impressed look on my face during these innocent test drives prompted my wife to say "which one would you like to have?" I was floored~! Anyway, I just received my Bluetooth module in the mail today, so I'm off to install it and pick my next project to put this thing to work.
Great video and congrats on the new toy. keep doing the lords work and he’ll keep blessing you and your family. thanks for show and sharing your faith in everything you do you are a really inspiration to us all.
First I got a Festool sander, the ECS EC 125. It changed my life with how powerful it is, even as a finish sander, and how little it vibrated. I held off on the Festool dust extraction for a long time, then I got one, the CT 15. It too changed my life. It is fantastic at dust extraction, but it is also the single best vacuum I have ever used. I use it to vacuum my house. It makes vacuuming FUN because it's so good. I can't recommend the sander and dust extractor enough.
Nice video, thank you!!! The Festool sander and dust extractor is something I've dreamed of owning for a LONG time 😥. Maybe someday. How smooth it rolls does not surprise me. Festool seems to consider every detail in their tool designs. Thank you again for doing this video!!! Keep the faith!!!!!
Just got a Festool sander after using a Bosch sander for a few years. The biggest difference to me is that the Festool shuts off almost immediately when you hit the power button which lets you set it down without having to wait until it spins down first. That to me is worth the price of admission.
smiled all the way through this... glad I'm not the only that get's off on that new tool smell! Someone should do man-candles... scent of... new tools, new car, new hi-fi, timber yard, cut grass. Matt - you might want to add the Festool cyclone unit - yes it's Festool priced but I think would pay for itself in saved dust collection bags. Also... I have not tried the Festool sander, I don't doubt it's good, all their kit it is? But... I do LOVE my Mirka... zero pins and needles in your hand. Thanks again Matt for your enthusiasm!
I’ve been blessed by someone that Invested in me. And it’s the feeling you can’t explain. I will pay it forward ten times over when I can though. God bless
There’s no comparison. Festool sanders are the best, but comes at a premium. Also have the ETS EC125 and a Rotex 125. First one, almost zero hand vibration, great for those with carpel tunnel. The Rotex, can really flatten a panel glue up fairly quickly. Good review Matt.
amazing tools, just way out of my price range as being a newbie. l drag my 55 gal barrel around with the cyclone attached :). love the channel Matt, keep up the great work have learned a lot.
I haven't used my orbital sander in 2 years. I prefer to use my hand plane to put a finish on my projects. The shavings from a hand plane is so much easier to clean up and to top it off I don't have a dust issue. Now my old table saw is a different story.
Nice review. I am a woodwork teacher in Sydney Australia and I have been using Festool in my home workshop since about 2007 when I bought a Rotex 150 and CT Mini duster extractor. My workshop now extends to 3 routers 3 different dust extractors just to name a few. I find the low noise and vibration, accuracy and build quality without compare. I wish I could get their new cordless table saw set up but as I have their small table saw already 2 tables saws is overkill 😂😂😂😮. If you get the boom for your CT36 and mount it with your circular saw you will feel like a fully professional setup. Lloyd
The remote for the Festool vacs are awesome. I like how you left it away from the end of the hose. I don’t see too many people do that even though it is as per Festool recommendations.
I went with bosch get 5n and it blows me away. I am glad i decided to upgrade the sander before anything else. It made a huge difference. Once connected with a simple shop vac, sanding is virtually dust free! Looking for a lighter sander as well. Looking at this festool or the m12 finish sander.
Hi from Boerne, Tx. I didn’t believe in Festool till I tried try them. Now I have quite a bit of it. Try Mirka sanding media. It works beautifully on the sanders.
I look and dream on the festool saw sander thing that they first came out with. I have a Walmart version I can’t find. I have severe arthritis in my hands and this kind of stuff is awesome.
I recently upgraded from a makita 6 inch sander to the Festool ETS EC 150/5 . The Festool is half the weight, i can sand for at least one hour without getting any tingling in my hand ( makita i can only manage 5 minutes) most importantly the festool stops straight away after switching off, where as the makita takes around 10 - 15 seconds.
I need to get one of these either one. I just got back into woodworking and I've always used a shop vac. I've spend more time cleaning up dust than making anything.
Watch this before buying the BIG woodworking tools: ua-cam.com/video/Y3-2Yg22N48/v-deo.html

One helpful hint is to keep a sander stored with a sanding disk on it. It'll keep the loops from getting worn out prematurely.

I have mine (older model) set up to where I plug my machine into it and when I turn on the machine I can’t even here if it’s running. I spent a bunch of time walking over to it to make sure it’s on but learned it always is. Lastly, if you hook up a cyclone to it you will never have to deal with bags or filters. I mounted one to the top of my extractor and it handles my whole shop, one tool at a time. I’m about to buy a festool sander. Never in a million years thought I would spend almost 600$ on a sander but it’s worth it to save my hands and get the job done faster.
You thank the doner with your gratitude.👍🏻. Sounds like someone is addicted to Festool now too. Nice video😊
God works in mysterious ways. Always looking out for his children, pushing/guiding them on our paths. Your doing his work through your channel. Love watching you, and couldn’t be more happy for your success and happiness. Keep up the work. We support you, and you have God watching over you and your amazing family.
When you have God, you have nothing to fear.
Semper Fi.
Yes! Thank you!
You definitely are a blessing to so many other people. Keep doing what you are doing. I have watched and learned from your videos and I have begun to make a nice side hustle out of what you have taught me. Thank you brother.
Thank you!
@@731Woodworks You are welcome. I had to learn something for a side hustle to pay for a surgery that my insurance will not cover. Woodworking projects on your channel are helping me do that.
I have been watching you since you started making videos. I used to laugh at you accent, however I do live in Texas myself :-) I love your honesty and you "kitchen table" discussions. And I love your humbleness. Keep doing what you are doing my friend. You definitely have my support. Take care.
Thank you Lee
Wait till you see just how full that bag becomes. Their stuff is simply fantastic IMO. It is great to see people's eyes be truly opened when they actually use the product.
God is good... You Deserve it. Your humility says it all. Great review ..
Just ran across your UA-cam channel. I'm an amateur woodworker just making a few things for our home. I've been looking at one of those festool dust collectors. Glad you made this video. Love how you include God into your video. We need more of that today in the world we are living in. God bless brother and wishing you success with your channel.
You're really ROCKING that beard Little Brother. Great review, best advice I ever got was to buy the best that I could afford.
Great video!! Well done thanking your donator and expressing heartfelt gratitude, awesome to see.
The number one take away here [for me], besides the obvious awesome extractor, was that you know to give the glory to GOD... and did so. It's amazing how our awesome creator works ain't it?!
Amen!
So there is a God somewhere that decided this guy needs a festool to improve his sanding experience but there is a child in Somalia that hasn't eaten for a month and needs to die. Wow. Pretty amazing and awesome.
@@gaknisguitarsThere are lots of ways to do good in the world, and the example of giving and support here is just one of them. Please don’t piss on the good deeds of others. Peace out!
@gaknisguitars isn't it great! Glad I'm not a Somalian.
That's a gorgeous set. I use a CTL-MIDI along with a sander, a jig-saw, a circular saw, and a router, all Bosch. The Festool vac is truely fantastic and I can see that you enjoy using that beauty as much as I do. I wish it will give you that joy for many many years. I enjoyed watching this video and your positivity made me subscribe. Keep up the good work!
You got yourself another subscriber. Great video. Just sold me on buying this festool vacuum, been on the fence but will be a great addition for my business.
Just bought the ETS EC125 yesterday after using a “vibratey” DeWalt for years, which would leave my hand tingling for hours. I have the little systainer vac for on site use but think I need a big vac to have stay in my shop…this review convinced me! Can’t wait to use my new sander…don’t doubt I’ll love it. Love your channel…you’re a straight forward humble guy!
Thank you
Congrats to you! You and your content are much appreciated. I’m glad that someone was able to show you that with giving you an awesome top on the line product. GOD IS GOOD ALWAYS!!!
I’ve never seen someone on UA-cam I wanted to see succeed more that I have Matt! It’s awesome to see what the Lord is doing with you through your channel!
Thank you 👊🏻
Recently picked up the same sander and the CT-15, I hate sanding a little less now! Really impressed at how much dust it collects, I’m in the northeast so my home shop slows down a lot in the winter or bad weather because I was only sanding outside. Had the first big sanding session with it today, between the dust extractor and a box fan filter running nearby there was no noticeable dust afterwards.
Sounds encouraging. Just remember, according to the expert in the field, Bill Pence, unless you have a window open and a fan in the window pulling air through your shop, you're breathing in tiny particles into your lungs which are not visible to the eye. This concerns me greatly and currently I'm doing all my cuts and sanding outside with a portable fan to my back and still wearing a dust mask. I'm super sensitive to anything in my lungs so I can tell a difference pretty quickly. I'm trying to invent a new outdoor woodworking setup that keeps people comfortable, machines at a decent temperature, prevents condensation and provides optimal health. I'll let you know if I come up with something in the next 30 years lol
Great review! Being thankful is such a great thing, and it doesn't cost you anything. God Bless!
I can't get over the look on your face while unpacking!😀 So cute. I know the feeling. So cool.
That's so amazing Matt. And a better guy couldn't have been giving something so amazing. Your the man, and I appreciate you and your wife. Your both such good people. God bless you both and your kids too of course. Keep up the awesome videos my friends.. we love y'all.
Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words
I like that you're truly grateful for the good things. Nice.
Once you start using festool tools you will never go back to any others. They are fantastic. I love my festool tools.
Great video! Blessings to brother Riv for blessing you with this dust extractor! Thanks for the video!
Thank you
You're a good man, Matt. Period
The guys at my local Woodcraft were saying they have had way more returns for warranty service than ever before recently and talked me out of buying a sanding system. Food for thought.
Nice video, keep up the good work! Watching you put a new disc on the sander reminded me of a tip from another video, if you put a couple of short dowels through the spare discs it makes lining them up almost mindless when you go to get a new one (you plop the sander on the stack so the dowels go in the holes).
Once you’ve gone Festool there’s really no looking back. Very nice kit!
Amen brother - good to be blessed and highly favored.
Blessed. We are all.. just how you go about it. Thank you for the knowledge
I appreciate that
I subscribed because of humbleness. God is so good. Keep up the good work. Hopefully I’ll get my first Festool soon enough.
I bought this same system today from Woodcraft. I am excited to set it up and try it out!
3:23 extremely satisfying how the holes lined up perfectly
👊🏻
Dude, I think I watched a first video of yours last year after I was given some lumber to make a workbench. It's amazing to see the progress over this last year. Glad your getting your shop hooked up!
thank you
Nice video. I'm with you Matt, I never expected to ever have anything Festool in my shop either...then Santa came and I'm now a member of the "F-troop"~! I have the ETS 125/3 sander and the CT 36 dust extractor. I've not used it yet, but I'm very excited to do so. Truth be told, I've been to about 3 different stores over the last 18 months and have test driven the different sanders. The impressed look on my face during these innocent test drives prompted my wife to say "which one would you like to have?" I was floored~! Anyway, I just received my Bluetooth module in the mail today, so I'm off to install it and pick my next project to put this thing to work.
You really are deserving of all the blessings you recieve.
Great video and congrats on the new toy. keep doing the lords work and he’ll keep blessing you and your family. thanks for show and sharing your faith in everything you do you are a really inspiration to us all.
Thank you
That "new sander smell". Love it!
First I got a Festool sander, the ECS EC 125. It changed my life with how powerful it is, even as a finish sander, and how little it vibrated. I held off on the Festool dust extraction for a long time, then I got one, the CT 15. It too changed my life. It is fantastic at dust extraction, but it is also the single best vacuum I have ever used. I use it to vacuum my house. It makes vacuuming FUN because it's so good. I can't recommend the sander and dust extractor enough.
They are great tools
@@731Woodworks have you heard of drywallers using this setup or is it more so for wood working?
Nice video, thank you!!! The Festool sander and dust extractor is something I've dreamed of owning for a LONG time 😥. Maybe someday. How smooth it rolls does not surprise me. Festool seems to consider every detail in their tool designs. Thank you again for doing this video!!! Keep the faith!!!!!
Have you considered it being refurbished from Festool? You can save about 20%
Just got a Festool sander after using a Bosch sander for a few years. The biggest difference to me is that the Festool shuts off almost immediately when you hit the power button which lets you set it down without having to wait until it spins down first. That to me is worth the price of admission.
Wow, that's amazing! I too don't ever think I will own that brand. You are thought of very highly. Enjoy!
Thank you
smiled all the way through this... glad I'm not the only that get's off on that new tool smell! Someone should do man-candles... scent of... new tools, new car, new hi-fi, timber yard, cut grass.
Matt - you might want to add the Festool cyclone unit - yes it's Festool priced but I think would pay for itself in saved dust collection bags. Also... I have not tried the Festool sander, I don't doubt it's good, all their kit it is? But... I do LOVE my Mirka... zero pins and needles in your hand. Thanks again Matt for your enthusiasm!
I’ve been blessed by someone that Invested in me. And it’s the feeling you can’t explain. I will pay it forward ten times over when I can though. God bless
👊
There’s no comparison. Festool sanders are the best, but comes at a premium.
Also have the ETS EC125 and a Rotex 125. First one, almost zero hand vibration, great for those with carpel tunnel. The Rotex, can really flatten a panel glue up fairly quickly.
Good review Matt.
Thank you
amazing tools, just way out of my price range as being a newbie. l drag my 55 gal barrel around with the cyclone attached :). love the channel Matt, keep up the great work have learned a lot.
I haven't used my orbital sander in 2 years. I prefer to use my hand plane to put a finish on my projects. The shavings from a hand plane is so much easier to clean up and to top it off I don't have a dust issue. Now my old table saw is a different story.
Nice review. I am a woodwork teacher in Sydney Australia and I have been using Festool in my home workshop since about 2007 when I bought a Rotex 150 and CT Mini duster extractor. My workshop now extends to 3 routers 3 different dust extractors just to name a few. I find the low noise and vibration, accuracy and build quality without compare. I wish I could get their new cordless table saw set up but as I have their small table saw already 2 tables saws is overkill 😂😂😂😮. If you get the boom for your CT36 and mount it with your circular saw you will feel like a fully professional setup. Lloyd
The remote for the Festool vacs are awesome. I like how you left it away from the end of the hose. I don’t see too many people do that even though it is as per Festool recommendations.
this aggie appreciates your good ol boy review! keep it up!
I went with bosch get 5n and it blows me away. I am glad i decided to upgrade the sander before anything else. It made a huge difference. Once connected with a simple shop vac, sanding is virtually dust free! Looking for a lighter sander as well. Looking at this festool or the m12 finish sander.
so so so good to hear a wood worker mentioned the word God have agodly wood working 💪 lifestyle cheers from. down under
Hi from Boerne, Tx. I didn’t believe in Festool till I tried try them. Now I have quite a bit of it. Try Mirka sanding media. It works beautifully on the sanders.
You're well worth everyything you've earned! Wish you well!
Great video! Love it. Someday I'll get my hands on a dust extractor. Working in apartment is tough with dust everywhere haha.. This looks solid.!!
This would be great for that!
I look and dream on the festool saw sander thing that they first came out with. I have a Walmart version I can’t find. I have severe arthritis in my hands and this kind of stuff is awesome.
I recently upgraded from a makita 6 inch sander to the Festool ETS EC 150/5 . The Festool is half the weight, i can sand for at least one hour without getting any tingling in my hand ( makita i can only manage 5 minutes) most importantly the festool stops straight away after switching off, where as the makita takes around 10 - 15 seconds.
I need to get one of these either one. I just got back into woodworking and I've always used a shop vac. I've spend more time cleaning up dust than making anything.
I need friends like yours. I could use a bandsaw LOL! Congrats on the Festool equipment and thank you very much to the person that sent it you.
👊🏻
Congrats on your festool , do yourself a favor and get the handle for the vacuum ,thank you for your videos and the time you put on on making them
