: If you want a truly top quality top with unequaled versatility and

When I'm in the market for a new drill I'm seriously looking at the CXS.

Festool is an awesome brand in general. I swear by my RO-125. I've had it for 5 years now. It's sanded 20-odd kayaks and canoes, 10 full-size interior doors, all my kitchen cabinets and it's still going strong. The high price was hard to swallow at first but I consider it the best shop investment ever. Amazing.
