Finally! New saw, first cut. More to come on this. 👍 

...and I still can't connect to wifi! 🤷‍♂️ 😂

Yep. 🤷‍♂️

What do you have against plastic? Also, they are using much finer plastics than other manufacturers sourcing their big box junk to china…

@@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1it’s $1500, build it out of something that can take abuse.

Me too! Gave up on the pre-order after 4 months and bought from Amazon! 'First impressions' type review coming soon. 👍

Uh, it is 1500 in the states. For 2k, you get the workstation and the batteries with it, too… It is not a niche tool. It is a tool for people with track saws who basically shun table saws anyway. It is a convenient way to do rips. It is better than any saw in the price range & you cannot touch a saw of this quality this cheap anywhere else. Anything cheaper is big, LOUD, framer/construction saws & they are junk.

Tokyo Craftsman, My friend will move to Philipines from Australia. I know what you are talking about. I was told Milwaukee tools are twice as expensive in Philippines as that of Australia. I imagine Japan has similar with inflated prices opposed to UK and USA. In fact I think USA are cheaper in comparison to Australia. In Australia this tool is available I think with batteries $2,500 Aud. I will need to confirm.

@@ron1martens Milwaukee is now in Japan, but aside from a drill or impact driver, they are not bringing in any woodworking specific tools yet. I went to buy the M18 drill/hammer drill and Milwaukee Japan was still selling the gen three drill, the 2903-20. I bought the new gen four 2904-22 off of eBay for about half the price, shipped, for what Milwaukee Japan wanted for the gen three. I still have to buy my batteries from MJ, but that’s OK, at least I get a warranty on the batteries. It’s like some of these companies don’t think that the average consumer know how to use Google Translate on the web LOL

@@TokyoCraftsman On a bigger picture and from speaking world wide to people in different Countries. Markets are manipulated specifically for each Country. I believe this is done by design. I may wonder a bit off subject here although it does also concern manufacture and distribution of power tools such as festool and other platforms. Government made regulations stating batteries over 100 watt hour had to be individually packaged. Batteries with higher amp hour were then a lot more expensive. Tool manufactures such as hikoki then made batteries multivolt 2.5 5. Being slightly under 100 watt hour. Metabo made the high density 5.5. Online sellers such as ebay tended to make a lot of money after covert. It was June of 2019 Australian Government made it taxable anything under $1,000 online sale. Before that time purchases under $1,000 was tax exempt.Anyway, besides been hoodwinked by the big shots, lets enjoy our lives and the tools we use. I wish to eventually purchase this machine as it seems to be the best on the market at this time.

Well said! This was smack in the middle of all the saws I looked at, price wise. 👍

Thank you!

Thanks! 🙌👍

Interesting, thanks! 👍

😂👍

Definitely a cutie. 👍

Don’t give them ideas! 😂

It was bang in the mid-range if the saws I was looking at - about a grand more than the cheapest, and a grand less than the most expensive. 🤷‍♂️👍

Early days, but yep, 👍

It wasn’t bad at all. 👍

Thank you. Yes, professional photographer for 20 years before turning to the splintery side of things. 👍

It sure is. Also has a sweet pricetag 😮

That would be so great wouldn't it! 👍

I'd settle for a cordless festool router

Give one heck of a paper cut, lol! Don’t think I’ve ever bought a tool based on how it looks though… 😂👍

😆

Thanks David! 👍

Thanks. There’ll be a ‘first impressions’ along soon. 👍

Parkside one week, Festool the next - that's just how it goes! 😂 Not sure that Festool have to justify anything, any more than Mafell - or Mercedes, come to that. They are good at marketing themselves to the 'retired doctor and dentist' set, but they also make a decent tool that lasts well, and holds its value. 👍

Thanks Bradley. Yes, looking forwards to having a proper play with it! 👍

Me too! 👍

😂 German design doesn't concern itself with such frivolities...

😂

Suggest that you shoot from a wide angle to see the whole saw. Little closeup shots doesn't do it justice. IMHO

Baby I know!

😂👍

I’ve only had it a couple of days, seems pretty good so far. 👍

Very, very clean in really cheap malamute too. 👍

Just use a cheap dowel jig. Does the dame job even stronger a lot of the time

Yep.

The intention was to make it with a cord (it's been in development for 5/6 years now.) But they decided, with this generation of batteries that battery powered was more convienent. I asked our festool representative about it and he came with that awnser. It's also impossible to make a battery adapter kind of thing ( like the 18V sanding machines ) that you can use it with a plug-it cable. This is because of the high usage of Amps. they can get from batteries and not from normal powersockets.

Lot of money in dolls houses, I'm told. 👍

No, I believe the sawstop tech needs an earth/ground to work, which - as a cordless tool - this doesn’t have. 🤷‍♂️👍

Yes, there’ll be a first impressions video soon, and a full review later on after I’ve used it a bit. 👍

You do impressions? How about Andy Mac.

...you'd never get it to connect to bluetooth. 🤷‍♂️

It’s a trim saw aimed at kitchen installers and fitted furniture guys, who don’t generally need large capacity. It uses a standard Festool blade - same as the current TS60 tracksaw. Dado stacks aren’t illegal in the UK/EU but there’s no way to actually use them commercially and comply with health and safety regulations, so very few saws sold in the UK/EU have an arbor long enough to take dado stacks, and this saw is no exception. HTH. 👍

Thanks. I used to do kitchens and trim so I can relate. Nice first look video.

Wow, you’re fast! Takes 2 seconds to set this up! 👍👍

Deepest. 😉😜

With the sliding table, yes. 👍

Yes, though it was about a grand cheaper than the most expensive saw I looked at, and about a grand more than the cheapest. So, more to it than just needing something to cut a straight line then. 👍👍

My dewalt table saw does very well for 400 pounds and is very accurate.

I went into my buying decisions for the saw in this video - Why Buy This Saw? [video 516] Direct link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u7H5On0j_5c.html Bottom line if you’re happy with what a site saw does then that’s great, you’ve saved yourself a chunk of change. Festool claims this is ‘better’ and I wanted to find out if that was true. Keep you posted. 👍

Beats me! 🤷‍♂️ (hints; ‘positioning’ in regard to their other saws, it avoids that awkward ‘sawstop’ question, and they’ve spent too long listening to clever graduates with MBAs in marketing talking about ‘digging a moat around the product’ - forgetting of course, that moats were meant to keep people out…)

£1500-ish, bare tool.

There’s a ton of play in it, until it’s locked down. Then there’s none. 🤷‍♂️

​​Thats disappointing to hear. I can't understand why they can't improve on the mitre tracks. They are really important as that's what you use for cross cuts also. The problem with having to lock down is that it may not lock down bang in the middle of the track, (if there is a bit of slack). For most home use this error is irrelevant. However, if you want accuracy in the sub millimetre territory then that's a no no.

@@patricksmith4424 It locks from one side, so it references against the same side of the slot each time.

@@10MinuteWorkshop OK thanks for that, bit out of my price range, but looks great.

I expect to use it for tiny precise cuts in small workpieces. 👍

i had my realy early, about 7 months and im not sponsort. very great machine and can cross cut bigger stuff then my old dewalt or bosch gts10xc. verry impressed with the haptic and quality, and the most precise cuts ive seen on a small table saw.

Yep. It prints money. 👌

Nope.

Money’s already spent, will keep everyone updated if catastrophe occurs. 👍

Yep. Prints money. 👍

Up until this I'd agree. We'll see how this goes... 👍

@@10MinuteWorkshop Lets see how it performs, lots of nifty features for sure, but I have a hard time actually viewing this as a table saw.. And not a small saw on a table, fulfilling a different niche. I can see this doing precision cuts on small sheets and trim on job sites or a small shop.. But nothing to rip a 2x6 or full sheets on. As an engineer I'd love to see the internal mechanics on this... I wish you the best of luck with this little gem. 👍

🤷‍♂️ Sharing as much as I can. Saw arrived the day I was moving house, didn’t get it out of the box until Sunday, first chance to actually cut something with it was yesterday. First impressions video coming soon. 👍

It does! 😂

After seeing your review i must add that ripping capacity is also an issue, other then that it's hella cool

It was smack in the middle of the saws I was looking at, price wise - about a grand less than the most expensive, about a grand more than the cheapest. 🤷‍♂️👍

@@10MinuteWorkshop have fun with it! Sighs in R4520 lol

Except, is there anyone else offering a sliding saw that’s mobile with that kind of quality?

Really not. It’s also not a carpenters’ cordless site saw like the Dewalt, Hikoki and Milwaukee; it’s a trim saw for cabinetmakers, installers and fitted furniture guys. If you need to feed 8x4s of OSB or shuttering ply through it, it’s probably not for you. 👍

Outlet pixies?? 🤷‍♂️

It’s not a cordless site saw for feeding sheets of OSB or shuttering ply through, no.

@Peter Millard I never mentioned site work osb or shuttering ply I'm talking about cabinet making
