So, normally, i am a Festool User, most of my tools are Festool, but after a research, i came to the conclusion, that the Mafell Jigsaw P1cc maybe a little better than the Festool Carvex, so i bought one and was impressed by the quality and accuracy. So, rather than to buy an TS55, after some thoughts (and discussions, thank you for the help!), i bought the MT55cc from Mafell. I asked the dealer, if he could exchange the Mafell Systainer with the Festool T-Loc Systainer since the Mafell Systainer is much more circumstantial than the Festool T-Loc Systainer and he delivered the MT55cc in a Festool T-Loc Systainer without extra charge. Now it looks a little bit weird inside the Systainer, but the handling now is flawless and much more usefull ( i regret this a little). Now i have a question, due to the christmas feast, i had no time to work with the MT55cc, but i am wondering, if, or how, the Mafell MT55cc rails and the MT55cc would fit on the Festool Multifunktionstisch MFT/3. I don't have a MFT/3, but i need some sort of table. regards

I did Jonathan's process to my MFT. You will need three rails, one for MFT. - for cross cuts, and two hooked together for long rips. You will need 1 rail Connector. Botch or Mafell... as they are the same.

Thank you,
so it would work with a MFT/3, thats good. Now i think about buying a MFT/3 or a Festool Ro 125 as next purchase.

The Mafell Uva115e is not a circular style, but as a 1/2 sheet that does 20k RPM it takes material off and is pretty smooth. The mrs even likes it and finds it controllable. You may want to paw one and see if it suits you, It has the Mirka screens, which last a long while.
I just ordered a Mirka 125/150 combo. Not sure exactly why, but it seemed like a good idea. Will know more when it arrives in a month. They say it is controllable and we have a few doors to sand, but I suspect that the Haus-Boss will be managing the job rather than helping... I suspect I will be using a triangular DX93 and the 1/2 sheet, but I wanted to see what all the fuss is about with the circular sanders.
Having a bunch of 5" and some 6" round papers it seemed like it made sense... Now I am not entirely sure.

Hi Caliban! Gratuliere zur neuen Tauchsäge. If i had to decide between the MFT and the Rotex,i'd get the MFT first. The MFT in conjunction with rails and tracksaw lets you do far more than a new sander will. Have you already decided on the Rotex 125? Weil,andre' Muetter ham' ooch schöne Töchter..if you're doing smaller stuff i can recommend the Makita BO something, a quartersheet ROS with 2mm stroke, or if it has to be Festool the ETS 150/3. Or as Holmz mentioned, the Mafell sander..i'm proposing these because i find the handling of the Rotex in general to be somewhat awkward.

Yeah a sander should not require a special technique ...

Thank you, in spite of the 31.12., i´ve already ordered the Festool RO 125! holmz, i heard good things about the Mirka, i considered this device as well, but at the end, i took the Festool... @charley, Vielen Dank! yes, i thought about the ETS 150/3, but i though as well that the RO 125 would be more versatile for me. I will see, now i have to find sanding paper, it is not as simple as i thought...

You can hardly go wrong as all sanders these days seem good, and people seem to say good thinks about the RO125 and the ETS. If the Mirka screens work on your RO125, then I would suggest trying them to see if they suit you.
