Actually there wasn't a problem. I have money put aside for a new MM16 and a Delta 20-950 and it appears I'll have money left over. No I haven't yet ordered both the bandsaw & drillpress, have to reorg shop and then sell the old stuff, first.

My birthday is coming up at the end of the month. Do you think the Devil would buy me a Domino with a packed Systainer?

Sweet, Steve!

Travis isn't really the devil . . . more like a "pusherman"

Re: The devil made me do it

I got one of those last month-- I was shocked how much I love it!

It takes some time to get used to the clutch on it. You listen for the DZZZ to tell you you are done, but it just stops and gives a small "beep".

Re: The devil made me do it

Steve, nice score! I have a Festool C12 and LOVE IT!

Earlier this week I used it with the angle chuck and a left twist drill bit to remove some broken bolts from the side of a Mercedes block (in-car). No other tool that I own could have done this.

You're going to love it.
