This was a very educational video. And I love the saw! But I should appreciate the video much more if you had the effect sound and sound from the saw than the guitar!
Excellent saw and system. Well worth it for guys who have patience and care to do the job right. A little set up time in the beginning and a few dollars invested will pay off HUGE. But if you’re one of those know-it-all “old school” guys who fears technology and perceived overpriced tools then it’s not for you. Keep doing it your way (and keep complaining about everything).
Well said. I added one of these to my Festool collection today and will hit the ground running with it tomorrow - really looking forward to it. Cheers (now 2023) - Dave
Hello! My husband looks at your videos with great enthusiasm. and I admit to fancy fanatics. Unfortunately, I love her so much, but I can not even buy another used festool brand picike clamp. It honors your work, joy, and skill. I was thinking of staring at Christmas with a nice thing: I'd like to ask you for an autógram with a festoolous greetings: my husband's name is Gábor. please tell me that he would do that favor, because if not because of the proximity of Christmas I would think otherwise. Welcome to your wife's fan
on a 45° cut you have to hold the saw with both hands or it will come off the railing? for the price they charge for this saw you shoudnt have to. makita has fixed this issue in their saw how come the very expensive festool can't do the same?
Love Festool, BUT..... I thought all their tool power cords were a universal fit.... Not so..... I opened my TS 55 saw, and the power cord was missing (I may have borrowed it for my older Rotex 90 sander.) So I thought..."that's OK, I have a cord from my brand new Rotex 90". But alas, the newer Rotex power cord does not fit the saw....it is not universal. I can't use the saw. (the reason explained in my reply ,below)
Further research leads me to believe that Track Saws (and routers) require a thicker 16 gauge cord, where as the sanders only require a thinner 18 gauge power cord.....and these have different fittings, to prevent them from getting interchanged. The thicker gauge power cable will fit into the sanders, but a thinner sander cable will not fit into a plunge saw (and the routers), because they need a fatter cable
Anyone that knocks Festool must be too unskilled to see the difference to why it's the number one. I've used all the imitators and nothing compares to this saw apart for Mafell. This is for the more discerning craftsman rather than the majority of rough chippys out there. The lack in skill speaks for itself.
Watch Ave's teardown of the Festool ts 55 and you will see why the Chinese made skill saw is better :D The use of bronze bushings and axially loading radial ball bearings with helical cut gears and all sorts of disasters...
You're wrong, look to the bottom right of the movie, at that exact point, looking at the edge of wood as a reference, and you will see that it is in fact that camera that moves - it just begins to pan before it cuts to the next scene giving the appearance that the rail shifts
Festool has great inovations in design and pushing tools to be more accurate, but I cant help but feel who has the time for all this faff on trying to produce demands on site? I mean I have been cutting with a Makita circular saw with a straight edge for years and even free hand for less accurately needed tasks. Its a great concept but at the end of the day its just not practical and justifiably priced.
Got my saw today Found some good tips in here to remember. Thanks for sharing.
just bought one of these, by far the best saw I have ever used.
now try the mafell 55cc even better
in your opinion what makes the Mafell mt55 better? (i own neither by the way)
overthe hill 1/3 more power, stronger material used for body, easy to put a new blade on it. 1 screw nob instead of 2
sebastiaan pw - I seem to remember Mafell making a flexible guide rail that rolled up and stowed in the case. That was pretty cool!

love the saw. having that for 6 years worth of that money did a lot of accurate job.
What a very nice circular saw....

I have 2 of those sons and im still a proud father
I have one and I can confirm it works great 👍
The music from these festool videos gets stuck in my head.
In 7.45 was that an approved Festool screw driver?
Love the saw, accessories are eyewateringly expensive.
But zey ahh zee best from Shermany, ya? 🙂
Marvelous thank you so much 😘

carpenter33 because it has more drawbacks than benefits
carpenter33 nice 👍🏼 comment

I Love Festools, i wish i had the money to buy them
+ricardo rivera This saw is junk.
+ZS6JMP what would you recommend ?
goodall1bay
Probably an older festo or makita. AvE did a break down on one of these festools, and they are as I mentioned, junk.
i think that u work with 2x4´s. if u move to lets say furniture then you'll understand what it's capable of.
Is there a diamond blade coming for the TS 75?
anyone know if the guide rails can be used with the metabo circular saws???
Does it work for both 110v & 220v? Thanks in advance!!
The rail didn't move, but the hole sheet actually did. Look closely at the lowest right corner of the screen.
What is max. dept of cut for the TS 55?
55mm
I love mine!

9.38 Noooooooo did anyone else see that rail move!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like but the camera moved or whole table not the rail :-)
Jiri Laszy Have another look, def moves. Didn't stop me buying one though and the rails are great and don't move generally but it did here ;-)
***** Just seen that, your right, the wood moves.Bad editing Mr Festool!!!
You're wrong, look to the bottom right of the movie, at that exact point, looking at the edge of wood as a reference, and you will see that it is in fact that camera that moves - it just begins to pan before it cuts to the next scene giving the appearance that the rail shifts
Keep up flower.
Look at my invention "Parallel Guided Power Saw"
festool simpel en fast nou more diverse
Planets no1 tools (by wood) :)

Dustless jobsite and no need to set up outside in an occupied home
Yes for rough framing this is not practical but for cabinets and fine woodworking it’s a must have tool,
So why you are watching festool videos?
Lose the ring.
I CHLOTTe
I hate watching a video and having to read the freaking video. TALK.
this is for rich people,Just build a rail track, with your circular saw you can do same thing.
This is for people who work there ass of dont waste there money on the best phone tv or car
nor very friendly user.
it looks very flimsy
it is not... got one and it is very stable. Just remember to fasten to rail.... as with all systems - you work for DeWalt ?
Overpriced junk. Simples.
Elaborate rather than making a statement with no examples or explanations.
MINE LIKE MANY OTHERS SOUNDED TERRIBLE FROM DAY ONE.
WHY?
