Good news! Well, in the main. Thanks a million to @akirk for spending time with me this morning. The results are that without the "protection pad", the sander is working as expected. As soon as you add it, it seems to displace the centre of gravity. As this is a Festool product, it is...

Thanks for that. Tried various speeds on ct midi and on the sander without success. I am meeting up with @akirk on Friday so we can work out if it is the tool, or if I am the tool!

Thanks for that. They have had it back and say it is performing as intended......

Thanks for those. I have watched the John McGrath one before. They way he holds the sander lightly to go through the grits makes it look effortless. I am sure some of it is my technique/lack of experience, but it really shouldnt be hard to use a sander...... I have several other Festool tools...

Thanks Doug. If I put no pressure on, it wobbles around the board.

Hi all, I purchased one of these last month and am struggling to get to grips with it. It just doesn't feel comfortable to use. Festool tell me it is performing as it should. Would be great to meet up with someone with one to compare and see if it is me or the machine. Happy to travel a...

Used but in good condition. Upgraded to the green one..... Comes with floor stand and spare blade. £200.00 collection from Radstock, Somerset.

Starter PT. I have upgraded to a full size PT. New blades installed, and a new spare set included as well as original tools. Fence knob is now a bolt as the original orange handle shredded. Collection only from Radstock, Somerset.

I am going to try and revive this thread again……. I am a novice woodworker and would be interested in forming a group in the BA3 (Radstock/Bath) area. That said, I would be happy travelling up to an hour away for meet ups. Would be great to meet with other like minded people to chat and try...

Axminster have some today at £189.98

Would be nice to have a toggle as I have seen on some websites so you can select whether to see inc or exc VAT.

Now updated. spend up to £100 for 10%, up to £300 for 20% then 25% over £300. Presume pre VAT.

Just a word of warning. In Edge browser, I don't see any discount. I have to use Chrome to see it. Some items are 0%, some 20% and some 25% from what I can see. Not very clear until you add it to your cart.

Thanks for following up, but as above, after switching to the Tuff Saws blade, it seems to be much much better. It will get a more comprehensive workout next week.

Thanks Tom, really appreciate your comprehensive reply. Looks like I have even more to learn!
