  • Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
  • In this second part of our Mafell session with Robin we take a look at the P1CC jigsaw which carries a whopping £400 price tag, but is it worth it? and would Robin consider swapping his Festool PS 420 EBQ-Plus CARVEX jigsaw for this beast?
    900W universal motor with an impressive 114mm depth of cut and built-in extraction system to keep the workpiece clean at all times. Takes standard bayonet type sawblades in addition to a unique CUnex W1 blade, allowing the tightest curves to be cut with 90° precision. Both base plates can be used in conjunction with Mafell guide rails systems. Supplied with parallel fence and circle cutting attachment.
    • 900W
    • 5-Stage Pendulum Orbit Action
    • Variable Speed
    • Tool-Free Blade Change
    • Dust Extraction Facility
    • Aluminium Base
    • All-Metal Gearbox
    • Lock-On Switch
    Applications:
    • Cut-outs for sinks and kitchen hobs.
    • Trimming work on furniture and kitchens for interior fitting.
    • Perfectly straight cuts when used with a guide rail.
    • Recesses.
    • Cutting circles and curves.
    • Cutting workpieces to length.
    • Ideal for cutting wood, laminates, plastic, metal, timber containing metal, gypsum, melamine resin panels (Trespa) and fibre-cement board.

    I love seeing you guys doing videos like that!
    Here in Germany Mafell is considered as the brand which provides both absolute
    precision and power. Their Tools mainly used by carpenters and for processing of large quantities of beams. If you have to cut trough 100 mm of material on daily basis on a professional level the answer is Mafell.
    I would love to hear your opinion on their portable table saw 'Erika' (most german name ever :) ) and the revolutionary KSS system.

    • @whitacrebespoke
      @whitacrebespoke 6 лет назад +2

      Lennart the KSS is incredible I have an 80 and only once have I had another saw out of the box since I brought it. I’d love an Erika but it’s costs a bloody fortune.

    • @GreatKingMidas
      @GreatKingMidas 6 лет назад +1

      The KSS 80 is a very nice construction tool, but it hast quite some heft to it. For almost every job I found the small sister of big ol' 85, the KSS 300, to be more than enough. Obviously it's not the right machine for beams or thick boards but it rips through sheet good and flooring like nothing. With the MaxiMax set the sheer amout of applications in one systainer is just ridiculous...

    • @whitacrebespoke
      @whitacrebespoke 6 лет назад

      Lennart I do a lot of green timber framing so need the depth of cut. I brought the 80 first as I couldn’t afford two but my plan is to buy a kss50 or 60 later in the year as you are correct it’s a lump of a tool. What a tool it is though I brought some Bosch guide rails and my plunge saw stops in the workshop now.

    • @whitacrebespoke

    They are expensive but so good. Their after sales service is excellent, my mortiser had a small twist in the base plate (possibly due to it falling off the bench?) contacted Mafell and they replaced it free of charge. Have had no problems with any of their kit.

    I've been using Bosch jig saws for three decades barrel grip.
    I found a tiny amount of lubricant on the roller and the pivot keep your jigsaw working smoothly and reduce the heat buildup on blades.
    You have to be really pushing a jigsaw hard to discolor the blade from heat. until 20 years ago no manufacturer had the blade stabilization guide or the orbital action in the same configuration as Bosh.
    Now it seems like the standard.
    the real star and all of this is the Bosch corporation selection of blades which can cut anything on any job anytime anywhere 🤭 . The bosch jigsaws I see now or cheap plastic for DYI mostly.
    funny how if you're in the trades for 40 years you see the quality of tools shift yet get more complex and better but cheeper. not to say there aren't a lot of amazing tools out there that we never had when we were young . 👍⚒️
    I always enjoy you guys and your tool and job videos. if I keep watching more I'll finally figure out the terms for tools and cutoffs you guys throw around 👍👌

  • @semperbuffo
    @semperbuffo 6 лет назад +14

    I have had the Mafell for a few months and it is undoubtedly the finest jigsaw I have ever used. It makes the Carvex look like the awful jigsaw it really is. Sorry Robin, the Carvex is Festool's dog. The Mafell cuts 100% straight, there is a support glide in the Systainer which clips to both bases to keep it rock steady when using the rail and, as there is no blade guide at all, you can reverse the blade and cut by pulling the jigsaw towards you. Precision engineering at its best, the tilt base provides extra support on perpendicular cuts, the two pins in the trammel guide make circle cutting a breeze and the dust blower/extraction system is just superb. Great video, (RTFM in future!), and you will over the next few days see that this wunderkid is worth every penny of its outrageous price!

    • @GreatKingMidas
      @GreatKingMidas 6 лет назад +1

      Very fine comment! Next time I would like them to be a little bit better informed about what they are working with, just as you say.

    • @SkillBuilder
      @SkillBuilder  6 лет назад +2

      Yes you are right we tried to squeeze this one in on the end of the track saw video session and a ten minute read of the 'effing manual' would have been an investment. We will do better next time. The blind leading the blind. Sorry guys

    • @semperbuffo
      @semperbuffo 6 лет назад

      Good on you Roger! The jigsaw will amaze you both with its performance and capabilities. I nearly fell of the bar when I saw the price but one quick demo convinced me that it was the Clachan a Choin!
      Festool dropped an enormous clanger with the Carvex and I bought one having been delighted with the Trion only to find that instead of improving it they had gone backwards. It broke three times and in the end it became an expensive paperweight as I couldnt in all honesty pass it on to someone else. The 18v version is a dog too, and I tested it against the Metabo 18v jigsaw which trampled all over it. I bought the Metabo as Mafell do not (yet) make a cordless P1CC but the latest news on a single battery platform for a number of German powertool manufacturers may change that. Possible a Mafellised Metabo, just like the drills Metabo make for Mafell.

    • @whitacrebespoke
      @whitacrebespoke 6 лет назад +1

      I’d never go back to my POS carvex from the Mafell. The cunex blades are cracking but they are bloody expensive. That said I’ve never bent one or burnt one out so they are actually worth the investment. Once you had a bit of time and familiarity with it you will see it is truly superior. Get Nathan out from NMA to show you all it’s tricks.

    Hi guys, revisiting this great video again as I bought one of these after this review and it’s a fantastic bit of kit, but I’m in the market for a cordless, and Robin cited the new Hikoki 36v barrel handle as being “as good as the Mafell”. I’ve already adopted the Hikoki multi volt system but I had to go with the Makita barrel handle (which is an ok bit of kit) as Hikoki didn’t do one at the time but it would be extremely useful for a side by side review if possible? Keep the great content coming guys.

  • @jacobporter4623
    @jacobporter4623 6 лет назад +13

    if I want to make a straight cut, the last tool I'd reach for is my jigsaw so I don't quite understand the point of that attachment I won't lie. If I happened to cut through my circular saw flex last thing on a friday, yeah I might well clamp my spirit level to the workpiece and use that as a straight edge as a last resort but I'd never choose to! Am I missing something?
    I've also got a router attachment for my tracks, which I bought for housings and rebates. I never use it because the convenience of the track for a plunge saw is knowing that your splinter guard is zero clearance. As soon as you start introducing some arbitrary offset, set up time goes way up which is no good on repeat passes - looks like you'd have the same issue with the jigsaw attachment as far as I can see.

    • @BischBaschBosch
      @BischBaschBosch 6 лет назад +3

      With the CUnex (double thick) blade, it cuts surprisingly square - not sure why they opted for a standard blade in the vid. I use the short 800mm rail to finish the corners on cut outs after plunge saw cuts. I get a perfect square every time. Some might not want to be that anal but there you are. I use the jigsaw and rail for solid insulation too. Quick, straight and less messy than colleagues who still insist on a hand saw. Good for straight cuts on thick stock too with the longer CUnex blade. It's about options. I didn't always see the point of jigsaw and rail but it's a setup I use often now.

    • @jacobporter4623
      @jacobporter4623 6 лет назад +3

      Bisch Basch Bosch each to their own, if for whatever reason it ends up being seen, I opt for the Japanese saw after plunge. I like the look of the mafell in all fairness but 90% of my jigsaw cuts are back cuts on a scribe so I'm not bothered in the slightest about drift

    • @pouetance
      @pouetance 6 лет назад +2

      1) If you need to do a flush cut
      2) If you need to do a short cut (shorter than your circular saw blade diameter)
      3) with some materials like laminate flooring or plexiglass, it's better to use a jigsaw than a circular saw

    • @tonydization
      @tonydization 5 лет назад +2

  • @BischBaschBosch
    @BischBaschBosch 6 лет назад +3

    Not sure why you didn't use the CUnex blade on your eves scroll. That's the point of that blade - a square cut through thick stock. Also, the main reason Mafell can do away with guide rollers is the shaft/"piston" is much thicker than other jigsaw brands. Both the fixed base and tilt base will plonk straight on the rail. Don't forget to use the little plastic spacer clips to support the off-rail part of the base though. This is the "accept no substitutes" jigsaw. Do some homework - do it justice guys ;)

    I think I want the Carvex though, I know nothing about it but one thing is for sure I can’t afford the Mafell today or prob tomm. Maybe a little down the road bc I would love the mafell but it’s outside of my budget. I don’t often say that too 😆 I hope the carvex is at least top 3 overall bc I need a good jigsaw & the new dewalt is looking pretty sexy atm

  • @chrisb4009
    @chrisb4009 5 лет назад +1

    I put some serious thought into buying the P1CC but in truth a jigsaw isn’t really a tool I need to be precise. Spending £500 on one where a £150 tool will do doesn’t make much sense to me.

    The mafell cunex W1 blade is only 75 mm long . They concept the cunex to fit only for P1cc but Bosch Precision Cut blade can cut straight up to 160 mm the cunex W1 only 75mm.
    I think the P1CC is the most expensive Jigsaw, but forthe best Perf&Quality/price ratio, the Bosch GST 160 CE is the best one.

    Yeah yeah it’s the most expensive. I had one and it was a nice tool. I bought it from a local machine and saw blade specialist. The only problem was when it stopped working they couldn’t fix it. Really really annoying it was about 6 or 7 years old. So beware because they are not much better than your average jigsaw

      Yes. Mafell do not make jigsaw blades. Mafell blades are made by Scintilla/Bosch in Switzerland and the only difference is the logo on the blade and a higher price! The Bosch T101B is perfect in the Mafell as are all the Bosch blades.

      You did not ask me, but I want to tell you, the handle makes no sense, because with the bodygrip, you are much closer to the center of weight.
      So you get much more control.

    Black and Decker had a jigsaw in the 1970s that used the same system (no roller). But you had to use an allen wrench to change the blade.
