So, I just completed a survey online conducted by Festool. The survey was all about finish sprayers. Any word on the street about a new line of Festool sprayers, or am I just starting a rumor???

i wonder what the price would be on that thing lol
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
They are just doing some market research. Doesn't mean a new Festool is or isn't around the corner. Just seeing if there is a niche for them. (in other words, "Are people so fed up with certain aspects of finishing they'll pay double or triple for a solution?")
I got the same survey. One question was about what you expect in a product, my response was a "fair price". Tom
I'm sure it will be the "Best in the World!"
Touch of sarcasm there.....

Festool is way off my price/value curve. They make OK tools but IMO cater to those that want the best regardless of price, and that ain't me. OK, fire away!!!....lol

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

You guys realize that present day HVLP units are down to 3% -7% overspray. Right?
This is theoretically true, but in practice, studies of HVLP guns have shown technique matters a lot more than the gun's theoretical overspray amount with current guns.
Even people who have been in auto body shops for 15-20 years were only getting an average of 58% transfer efficiency with HVLP, but once technique was corrected (they used something like this http://www.iwrc.org/index.cfm/products/laserpaint/, and video taping + showing people what they were actually doing vs what they thought they were doing), it was much higher.
My point here being even if you got a gun capable of 3% overspray, unless your technique is good you will still likely get closer to 30-40%
If Festool came out with something that gets 3% overspray without needing to have good technique, they may get some converts
