I assume the V stands for “Vorritzer”, the German word for the small scoring blade. In Dutch it’s called “voorritser”, probably derived from the German word. (Edit : removed an l, Dutch speaker with one year of school-Deutsch)
Yeah also sometimes called a voorloop blad or “walker (loper) in front (voor) blad (blade)”. So a blade that walks in fro nt. Ritser is also something like zipper. “Fore-zipp-blade”. Gotit?
It is so quick and easy to set the plunge depth on a Festool that an added scoring function is hardly necessary. I set the depth to 2 - 3 mm and pull the saw backwards, mimicking the scoring function. This does mean two passes with re-setting the plunge depth for each pass. That isn’t a problem for a hobbyist like me but I can see it being a pain (not to mention time waster) for a pro doing it for a living.
If you have a fresh makita max efficiency blade on the track saw you don't even need the scoring function. this is a highly specialized tool for a cabinet shop. Its alot cheaper then a 12 inch panel saw with a scoring blade. So its a good place to start. For me personally i would take the TS 60 over this saw
@@covakoma1064 hahhahaha. Man, when I walk into stores and see the tools I want to buy one really bad, but as soon as I see the price tag I don't want anymore hahaha.
@riba2233 works great on mine, cnc like cuts, or should I say exactly the same as router cleaning pass. And that is with old blade which has cut tone of construction grade osb, ply stud work etc and never been sharpened. New mafell blade doesn't even need scoring function even on the weakest and cheapest of melamine.
Anyone that has used or owns a sliding table panel saw with a scoring unit will appreciate this, won’t be as fast but will be cheaper and take up less space and power requirements.
This will probably be a huge success and be in every saw after this. I say this based on my past experiences of all the other times when I saw something that seemed ridiculous but everyone else loved it and 3 years later I give in and start using it myself.
So initially I wasn't so jazzed about this saw. The CXS and TXS yes, the Recip saw yes, but now I'm working with an edgebander with out premill... and now Im thinking yeah, I do actually need this more than more drills ha. Of course Im stilling getting the new drills tho
Brilliant. This would save a ton of time. I'm still stuck on a circular saw I have to manually adjust to score. I thought of eventually upgrading to a track saw that quickly switch between two depths, but this is even better.
I love when people new to using tools think they found the first of its kind, I've used a dual bladed track saw for almost 20 years now. score cut makes a huge diffrrence
I like that they are making this. Before I would just set the blade 1/16 deep and run it backwards then set to final depth and cut like normal no chips.
Id like to see the actual scoring blade. How big is it? Is it proprietary to Festool so replacements are hard to get & expensive? Or is it some universal size? Also - would love to see results compared to a two-pass scoring setting saw (like my old Makita). That info would help consumers decide if this new version is right for them.
The scoring blade is that little 2" or so circular thing in front of the regular blade. If you have the $1k for the saw you can afford their 2-tooth scoring blade.
FINALLY we're getting corded brushless track saw with a brake in the USA. And with the scoring blade it makes it even better. So glad to see this upgrade. Does anyone know if it's running the 1.8mm blade?
let's hope the scoring blade doesn't do all the chipping before the main blade has a chance to cut. my 55 does not chip don't know if it's wise of festool to suddenly show that the 55 chips I guess they'll do anything to promote the latest greatest. two blades can introduce misalignment and ledging. every solution introduces a new set of problems. a score depth lock like makita has would be nicer, you can modify the 55 with a stop pin.
I have a TS 55 as well and it doesn't chip...regular wood. It's melamine that is almost impossible to cut perfectly day in, day out- no matter your method. You get better results with higher-quality melamine, but the material cost of your project goes up too. This tool professes to make ultra quality cuts on standard grade material.
Actually that's why the makita has a scoring cut knob. First score 3mm deep without splinter then do the full cut. Ok this needs two cuts but you don't need it every time.
Why the permanent cord on this one? I thought this brand uses a plug on their tools so the user can swap the cord between tools easily, to strap one common cord to the dust collector hose.
I asked the same question. Their answer was power related. They can deliver more power somehow with a permanent cord. Don't understand it but will dig more for understanding.
@@wittworks Festool has a weird thing for 1200W max for most tools, not all. This one is spect 1500W total power draw. But realy is similar to the old one, coz the old one has 1200W motor and 1250W plus 20% for the electronic driver on the new one = 1500W, so only 50W more for the motor. Mafell has 1400W motor and scoring mode. But yeah, a second blade for scoring is something else, I've been looking for this for decades...
@@loochan325 Power consumption (circular saw/scorer) 1500 / 190 W, for some reason both versions on the GB website 110 and 230v show a plug it cable which is odd since its combined power is over 1600w which is the cutoff for plugit cables due to safety concerns
@@Rupain there will be a higher amp load in the US due to 110v power. UK/AU/EU markets with 230V power can do 2400W on a 10A load so well within specs for a standard cable. Hence why the 240V model comes with plug it connector.
That’s a really good idea, if you’d really cheap and substandard materials, yeah, splintering it’ll illuminate, but does that mean the saw is a bad idea? Actually, I think it’s brutal because there are really soft woods and other materials that a scoring blade would help considerably. Particularly as a guide with rare woods.
You can duplicate that result with your standard track saw by making a shallow scoring cut and then finishing with a full depth pass. Clamps are needed.
Scroll cut blades have been around for decades and decades. Just set your tracksaw for a sub 1mm pre cut to break the surface then plunge full depth. There - just saved ya £1000 👍🏼👌🏼
Nice idea, although it costs more than the total for the last 4 cars I've owned and 1 of them I purchased brand new with a final cost was about AU$30K, the other 3 cost less than AU$10K in total!!
Not to be simply contrary or just mean, but this is ~$370 more than the regular TS 60. That doesn't seem excessive if you could get a lot of use with this kind of tool. You cannot design, develop, build and warranty yourself a reliable addon for that price. If you don't like Festool brand tools because you dislike their higher price and don't believe they deliver commensurate value, that's certainly none of my business.
@@bobdebouwer7835 Yeah, I just bought a TS 55 FEQ F Plus six months ago and for the amount of melamine cabinetry work I do, this new saw won't pay for itself. Folks would rather buy something premade from IKEA or WayFair and meet 75% of their requirements.
First one with dull blade. Second cut with wood blade. Last cut with laminate blade. Why would you need expensive saw if you can buy good blade for current saw ;)
Couldn't you just set the main blade on your normal saw 1 or 2 mm, do one cut (in the opposite direction) and adjust it for your desired depth? Of course it's more work but I bet you need a lot of cuts to reach break even. At least that's what I would do.

The cut always looks better on one side. I never get tearout on one side even with a 20$ blade. Make a full cut through the material and show me both sides
Maybe they should worry about getting other track saw models back in stock rather than worry about coming out and having to produce a hole new track saw.
This saw will undoubtedly create a lot of dust/sawdust so you’ll more than likely have a corded vac running in support of the saw. My question is: why a permanent cord?

Same thing can be accomplished by first doing a scoring climb cut ( pull saw toward you)at 2 mm deep- never more than that!!, then a full depth pass. It takes an additional 10 seconds
It makes sense for someone whose employment involves working with a lot of laminated sheet stock on a regular basis. If you need to make perfect cuts in But for the average DIYer, it's about as practical as buying a nuclear submarine, and probably has a similar price tag.
It's not much just 100$ admission fee ,150$ to touch it ( must bring your own white velvet gloves) or you can purchase from festool for additional 50$ 😆 🤣 😂
That's exactly the thing, people aren't designed to cut straight lines. Some people claim they can, and I fathom at least half of them really can't. Instead of pounding one's chest about their prowess, just accept it that modern tools allow for precision and repeatability.
Until now there has been no substabute for a pannel saw with a scoring blade. Those pannel saws are fantastic at cutting melamine and other fragile sheet goods, but they are huge and expensive. They can rip a 3 metre long sheet no problem so you can guess how big a space you need to house one. This saw looks like a portable version that takes up no space and is portable to the job site. No pannel saw can do that. I don't know how much festool is charging but I'm interested
Can’t you just use a regular track saw with the blade set really shallow and run the saw backward for the first cut? Then set it for full depth and run it forward. And I don’t wanna hear that this thing saves time because people who use Festool are not concerned with speed but rather cleanliness and accuracy. This includes myself as I love my Festool products.
a tool like this wanst needed 40 years ago and today only a small amount will need it mainly trades that build kitchen or work with other coated materials for many just the normal ts55 or 75 is good as is not even the kickback protection is needed if you work carefully with it
Festool sure knows how to take my money.
I want it !!
I’d get this in a heartbeat if it was cordless but I’d imagine it’d drain the batteries SOOOO fast, I’ll stick with the latest cordless keb for now :)
They really think ahead of what customers needs. I give them that. Truly innovative.

I suppose if it saves you from chipping a top and having to replace it would pay for itself pretty quick.
Its cheaper to just purchase a laminate cutting blade, rather than a fine tooth crosscut blade.
Awsome!
That’s awesome
Can I even afford to look at this?!
It's not much just 100$ admission fee ,150$ to touch it ( must bring your own white velvet gloves) or you can purchase from festool for additional 50$ 😆 🤣 😂
Not a fan of the permanent cord, I think the detachable cord on their other saws is better
Sharp blade in the “normal” Festool tracksaw does the same job. Or you just run it twice with different depths 🤷♂️
can anyone cut a straight line manually anymore???
That's exactly the thing, people aren't designed to cut straight lines. Some people claim they can, and I fathom at least half of them really can't. Instead of pounding one's chest about their prowess, just accept it that modern tools allow for precision and repeatability.
I can't even imagine what that's going to cost. Still, it's cheaper than a panel saw.
Will this be released in US and when?
Yes. In Europe in May. I don't know when in US but it will come to US
Until now there has been no substabute for a pannel saw with a scoring blade.
Those pannel saws are fantastic at cutting melamine and other fragile sheet goods, but they are huge and expensive. They can rip a 3 metre long sheet no problem so you can guess how big a space you need to house one.
This saw looks like a portable version that takes up no space and is portable to the job site. No pannel saw can do that.
I don't know how much festool is charging but I'm interested
Where buy it ...
Can’t you just use a regular track saw with the blade set really shallow and run the saw backward for the first cut? Then set it for full depth and run it forward. And I don’t wanna hear that this thing saves time because people who use Festool are not concerned with speed but rather cleanliness and accuracy. This includes myself as I love my Festool products.
a tool like this wanst needed 40 years ago and today only a small amount will need it mainly trades that build kitchen or work with other coated materials for many just the normal ts55 or 75 is good as is not even the kickback protection is needed if you work carefully with it
Don't understand the move to permanent cable.
Permanent cord???
This is cool.
How much?
