Festool Junkie Blog

Just had to show a few shots i took from the trip to Henderson for Festool training. I had an unbelievable time and must say I learned a ton while I was there. The trainer was unbelievable in his knowledge of tools and I look forward to providing the same service to you folks when questions arise. Thanks for the training Steve!

The Festool Rotex RO 150 FEQ 6″ Dual-Mode Sander is an incredible tool. Let’s see some examples of how you use yours.

Send me your descriptions and photo’s via e-mail at thedude@festooljunkie.com and I will be sure to get them on the blog.

Phillip From The Ohio Valley: Tim asks, “dude, what are you doing with all these RO 150 FEQ pads?

Phil Answers: Dismantling a Cedar Log home, interior and exterior walls, 1000 sq ft. house. I’ve just about finished the logs. The house was built 1n 1972 by my brothers and I for a guy in southern Indiana; about 10 yrs later someone ran into the house in a pickup and damaged some logs. These log homes go up like the old toy log houses we played with as kids. They are tongue and grooves and are notched together.

Any way a contractor took it down and the owner replaced the house with a newer one and I bought it from him. I have been storing the logs in my barn every since. We are finally going to rebuild it next year if everything goes as planned. This 150 FEQ Rotex has sure made these logs look better than they were in 1972, using Rubin 50 grit then Rubin 180 has made this sanding job a god send. I’ve got two large trash cans full of dust.

Thanks For Sharing Phil

The large internet retail woodworking stores are now selling Festool tools and accessories On-line. It is our hope that the people answering the phone lines at the catalog ordering centers are well versed in the nuances of all that is Festool. Festool and Festools and Festool Accessories are in many cases very specific to the applications the user is performing. It is our sincere hope that the operators answering the phones have had training on Festool; better yet, purchase and use the tools they are giving advice on as we do here everyday at FestoolJunkie. This of course is only our opinion, as we strive to proliferate Festool knowledge making the brand stronger for all.

I will challenge you though. Make a call, chat live with an order taker/operator at one of the large internet woodworking stores; Then call us, or any other longtime Online Festool Dealer, and you make the decision as to who really knows the product and who you would like to build a Festoolationship with!
