Just watched a video regarding a battery powered DeWalt saw that was used in a workshop using one of their mains adaptors, the issue was it bun’t out 2 motors in quick succession and with that was advised by the dewalt service centre- not to use the mains adaptor as they were causing motor failures.!! Maybe that’s a thing in the electronics world..?? And maybe why festool don’t offer one…..and obviously they’ll sell more of their very reasonably price batteries..😂😂😂

Even if they can't add a motorised fence into such a small package, I image they could embed the same mechanism digital calipers use, to at least give a readout of current fence position. DRO equivilent for a table saw fence rather than mill / lathe.

Some sort of sensor/detector which can give you 0.1mm read-out accuracy for measurements say 100mm and under would be fantastic. Still, always possible to make a test-cut and then use your digital calipers to get a read-out.

I do a lot of restauration on-site, and repairing woodrot in windowframes and the like. For making small pieces of profile on site this saw is proving wonderful and I am delighted with it. Yes, it is a bit of money, but sure beats the small contractor saws I used to use in many ways. Compact and lighter, well protected in the systainer, quiet, precise, and I do not have to look for an outlet for a couple of cuts. The cuts are very smooth with hardly any saw marks so need little to no planing or sanding. I have ordered the addition for the sled from Benchdog Tools for crosscuts and I agree that the weakest point of the saw is the ripping fence, which is hard to set precisely or move at very small increments. But overall, while I hesitated to invest so much money, I am glad I did and am very pleased with the machine.

There are some components I want on a table saw. A really frim and very accurate fence with a fine tune scale. 10,4 isn't 10,45 mm. I don't have large building jobs but making very precise cabinets. A small difference can be very annoying. So I know what you mean. I have a very solid old Robland machine but in perfect condition. With a professional build in router which is 40 years old. But it is hard to install any height and in any degrees of cutting and to be precise at the same time. So it is always in the same height and degree state of sawing. Because of that I have bought myself three other saws (no hand saws, because I already using six of them) to get things done properly. Eventually that's not the way but I still can't find another solution. This Festool seemed a in between solution but now I have seen your comments on it, I will never buy one. Hard lesson for Festool. Thanks Peter. 👍

I find the main battery to get the tracksaw to operate runs out quicker even if I double up to make it a 36v saw .

A couple observations. The cost and features aren't the thing holding me back. It's the lack of larger depth of cut you get from a 10" saw. As for the fiddly fence adjustment, Dewalt knob rack/pinion adjust is simply the best. I wouldn't knock the Festool too much for having a fiddly adjustment. Heck the top shelf Biesemeyer fences aren't much different when it comes down to it. Other than the fact there is a handle to move and lock down.

Was at my local wood and tool pusher the other day and he confirmed we'll get the saw over here this fall. But yup....$$$. As good as folks talk up the MFT and all that you can do with that and a track saw (and with parallel guides - all the farkles) I find my skill set with a big tablesaw exceeds what I've been able to do with the tracksaw/MFT combo. There are things that a tablesaw just does exceedingly well. So for my use case it begs the question: Do I dump my inexpensive cabinet tablesaw for this smaller pricier unit (for a LOT of my work the bigger saw just gets in the way). Festool did leave the door open for an after market fence (which seems to be a time honored habit of tablesaw manufactures :^) ).

Hi Peter. Glad you are liking the saw. I bought the TKS 80 with saw stop a few years ago. I was never at any point dissatisfied with it, but as time has gone on and I have used it more, the love for this saw has just grown. Things that seemed odd in the beginning are making sense now. I do want to get rid of the "transportable features" and put it on a permanent base, and No! I still haven't triggered the saw stop on it, but I'm also pretty carefull. I'm also running the DeWalt DWE 7485 on the mobile stand for all the really messy stuff outside. I have ripped so much timber on this saw, and it just goes on and on and is surprisingly accurate. Dust collection - Not so much.

Will Festool or the aftermarket make a converter/ adaptor for their cordless station tools? Seeing as Festool deems that non-handheld tools don't need BOTH mains' unlimited power as well as battery's unlimited placement. Because THAT would be very welcome. Especially with the small dust extractors. I'm guessing it would be a DC power supply, the shape of a battery so that it snicks right in the battery socket. Bonus points for including the Festool twist cord. This way, all legacy tools and accessories are still useful and adding features to the existing new line isn't needed.

Its not the upfront price that puts me off this saw its the simple fact that Festool are money grabbing bastards ! The omission of a mains cable means your holy reliant upon the battery's and charger for your saw to function. This means when either the batters go dead, 3-4 years ? and or the charger then your going to have to spend another couple of hundred quid for new battery's and or charger to keep your saw functional. Then there is the blade ! Is it a standard size and fitting or is this also propitiatory ? The electronics might be a nice feature when new but will they stand up to regular use, outdoors or in damp winter sheds etc or will they last until just after the warranty before packing in. Naw Festool can keep there little table saw as much as i would like a second smaller table-saw for finer work this piece of extruded aluminum and plastic is just not worth the money too me. Try again Festool. General Public might be fooled but not this guy.

Battery longevity really isn't an issue; oldest 18v battery tool I have of their is from 2010, and still on the original batteries. Back when I bought it they were the only company that actually included the battery in the warranty, and that's what led me down the Festool battery path. Blade size is common to the TS60 saw. And nobody's being fooled here - if it's not for you, its not for you, and like I said in this vid you should spend your hard-earned how you like - and so will I. 👍

That remains most people's gripe about Festool: their tools cost a lot. But you do get a lot of quality in return. Hope to save up enough for their bigger table saw one day! It's either by setting aside every spare penny for a decade 😁 or, which seems the quicker solution: selling a kidney...😄

Am I? I ordered the saw in January after using it. I used it again when I was invited to Festool HQ a couple of months later. I gave my first impressions on it when it arrived in May, and now I’ve used it again for a couple of months or more I have some further thoughts on it. I’ve shot video on all these stages; I’m not jumping to any conclusions, simply pointing out - again - that all the digital goodness on the up and down emphasises how poor the fence adjustment is, and how a micro-adjust would not only be beneficial, but on a saw of this quality and price, really should be included. The only person jumping to conclusions here seems to be you. 🤷♂️

Very interesting saw. I completely agree, Festool would be doing all a favor if they could design a battery lookalike that is a main with a power supply instead of “battery”. They would do well to offer the accessory for other cordless tools that may require long periods of use as well.

I honestly don't understand the issue people have with the price of Festool tools. They are made in Germany ,and therefore they're paying their staff a proper living/working wage in a western economy, not some cheap Chinese factory that pays a pittance to its employees. The two festal tools I have, sander and extractor, work flawlessly and have never given ma a days problem. They're backed up with a 3 year warranty and will probably outlast me 😅

I’ve worked in busy workshop environments for most of my career and use o early models of the ts55 and extractors daily. they do last. The only thing that goes on them is the plug it cords as they are weak and designed to break. also use old early extractors that still perform like new. like anything in life if it’s looked after it tends to last. what’s more impressive is the abuse tools get in professional workshops and the longevity of quality tools. I don’t think you can even know festo on quality.

Thank you Peter. I'm in retirement and my main past time is woodworking. I've been attracted to this saw since I first read about it. I buy most of my tools from Axminster and they are currently out of stock with this saw which speaks volumes about its demand. I'm on their waiting list to be notifiied when they have their stock replenished and I will certainly be buying one thanks to your reviews.

If they hybridize it like their cordless sanders , I’m there despite the price. Same for the multitool. Why are you gonna charge me that much & not allow me to plug it in? I own their cordless sander & paid more for it to be cordless but only if I had the option to use an outlet. As a saw for portable use, I’d want the 120V version bc I’m in the US but 240V doesn’t bother me. In my shop I have 24OV tools that are stationary.

Hi Peter, I bought this saw after watching some of your reviews and search around online. It’s a great machine ! Only comes with two batteries which isn’t enough if your cut solid oak parquet all day. However, I’m pretty impressed with the power (compared to to my ts55) Recently, it got stuck in on a calibration mode! And I’ve had to send it back to festool under the warranty! It’s been the first issue I’ve had with any festool product. It’s got me thinking that this tool is too reliant on the electronics! The moment the software glitches you can’t do anything… hoping this is a one off issue with tool! But I don’t have much confidence this will be one of this tools that will have the same longevity with the complex electronics.. Im wondering if I would actually have been better off with the other festool saw for the reliability! Interested to see what the 6 months / 1 year on videos will be on this machine.

I love the rack-and-pinion on my Dewalt mobile saw - mine is older and has the scale in inches and metric which I find very useful for “fiddly” work (love that term). Would seem simple to have that with a DRO. You wonder why they skimped on that. Perhaps it would make an “expensive” saw *too* expensive? I’m not spending that much for a saw where you have to “nudge” the fence, but would buy it if it cost a few hundred more with a better fence. A Dewalt *saw* with rack-and-pinion is less that $400 and you can get a DRO for $60 from Infinity Tools.
