    OK, I've gone and done it

    Just placed an order on Uncle Bob's site for the OF1400 and the CDD and eccentric chuck. I guess the $69 Ridgid drill is going back now that I just bought another. Decided I could really use the eccentric chuck on the cabinet build. Quick, hide it from my wife. Of course, I have been making room in the shop lately for these additions. Pic police will get offical shots when the packages arrive, cheating if I steal them from Uncle Bob's site.

    Congrats on the new toys, I mean tools. I'd bet that the eccentric Check would be nice!

    You know there is an interesting obsession with Festool around here. I'm beginning to think it's a borg type takeover. heheh well I would if they weren't such darn good tools.

    Correction, that's the TDD not CDD. I went with the special priced one and bought the extra chuck.

    Very nice, Scott. Festool is a wonderful tool maker and the eccentric chuck is simply awesome...it has allowed me to drive screws straight where otherwise impossible without the offset.

    I also like the smaller size of the CDD. You should look into getting the Centrotec chuck as well...nice and compact on an already compact drill.

    Did you know SMC is user supported? Please help.

    Congratulations! No doubt, you have bought two good tools.

    I just started using my Festool drill (TDK) late last week and I realy like it. I have already used the eccentric chuck at leat a dozon times and the right angled chuck a couple of times.

    I will be ordering the 1400 router once I decide whether or not to buy the MFS Routing Template along with it. I hope that someone reviews that template soon so that I can find out just what it does and does not do.
