Great review - the real test is when you've been using it for a while and had a chance to learn its strong points, weaknesses and quirks. You did a good job of covering them all - thank you!

GOD IT IS SO FUN TO USE 😂! Just an absolute joy. I very much appreciate that you have taken the time to review the saw after a full year, which is so much more useful than a first impressions video. Speaking of first impressions, mine is new and I’m still getting to know it, and my only complaint so far is battery life, specifically I think the batteries drain too much when not actually operating the saw, but since I’m just an artist working in my apartment, it hasn’t really been an issue. I haven’t really taken advantage of the MFT qualities of the stand yet, I’ll have to watch some “how does an MFT work” type videos. OH MAN, your point about craftspeople undervaluing ourselves is SO TRUE. I work in the theatrical costume industry in new York, and the race to the bottom among costume shops keeps wages for their workers embarrassingly low. I don’t have a solution sadly other than “escape from the clutches of capitalism,” which doesn’t seem super feasible 🤔. But if I ever have to have something built or fixed in my apartment, I will try very hard to be upfront about my budget and to never demand more than the people doing the work are reasonably able to provide within the funds I have available. And hopefully everyone involved will be operating in good faith.

glad you enjoy your tools. the thing that i liked most about the review was the last 2 minutes. i earn my income from working a factory but like to make nice things with nice tools

Absolutely priceless!!!

Too bad made in china. Only festool made there

What name of this hostler and how to get it ?

Nice review. Good to hear a long term review. I would love to hear your thoughts on the festool system as a whole...

Thanks for your 1 year video. The SYS 50 was one of my top two considerations for table saws. I ended up finding a great deal on a used SawStop CTS and went with that, but perhaps there will be a SYS 50 in the future. This is great insight when most creators don't do more than an intro video on gear.

That tabletop being brand new slick and Festool's extra nice riving knife saved your ass on that first cut.

Question. I think I heard the gun click when it was pushed in fully. Can you confirm that it has the retention of an all-kydex holder? I’m liking what I’ve seen on this holster so far.

Great video!

i have a fair amount of festool equipment but my sawzalls will always be milwaukee!

There is 0 chance for me, my recip has seen some serious abuse over the years, cutting open bellied sewer lines and having water and literal shit drip directly into it. There is only one brand I trust to keep going through it all. The main determining factors for how fast they cut is the stroke length of the tool and the quality of blade that you have on it. I'm sure that's a nice saw you got there, but the recip is one tool I don't want to have to baby.

Sooooo.... Where's the follow up?

Still TOO CLOSE. Experience a kick back just once. Then no one will ever have to tell you why that’s too close. Good luck.

Using a miter gauge and rip fence together is the FIRST thing you are taught to NOT DO in Woodshop class. Kick back is something that needs to be seen to believe.

when cross cutting like that you need to slide the fence back so it does not go further thasn the start of the blade. It is designed with that feature for exactly that reason. I was waiting for that 8' x 8' square of oak to catch and KICK. It might be a small saw but i know from experience that it has some serious power. I'm not trying to be that person who gives advice to everyone about everything, this is sound advice from a person who cares about others and doesn't like to see people hurt unnecessarily. cheers jim

That’s a lot of money for a toy saw. I cannot see cutting plywood thru that little thing.

Thank you for the info! I need to get one to refinish my floors 😍

Joe for your own safety, anytime you are cross cutting remove the fence. If not and that board gets bound up between the blade and the fence, YIKES !!! Right tilt table saws to me are dangerous. Especially considering I am right handed. Cutting a miter now places the waste piece under the blade. If you were to miter with the grain against the fence, your waste piece at that point has no where to go. In that instance you would have to move the fence to the other side of the blade for safety. The downfall is there isn't a lot of table to the left hand side of the blade for the fence. Limiting your board size to be cut. Right tilt table saws generally have the arbor nut to the left of the blade. . The benefit is that if you used dado blades you can still depend on the scale on the fence as a accurate measurement between the fist dado blade and the fence since the dados would stack away from the fence. FesTool makes great machines. In the portable table saw selection I'd lean towards a Saw Stop.

Did you change to a ripping blade when doing the rip test cuts?

That 1/2" cross cut looked like it was filmed in super slow motion. lol

Turn the music off. Square your video shots. That’s the first push stick you use?

Good god-you’re making a dangerous cut in the first 2 seconds! That must be a record.

I own one as well and I have the exact first impressions as you do! The fence becomes a real issue when you’re switching from glide saw to fenced saw, if you forget to lock your fence, it will fall. Unfortunately mine fell and broke the tab that holds the plastic pusher. It was easy to set up a warranty claim using the Festool app. I will update you when I get it back. Another issue is that I don’t feel comfortable doing longitudinal 45 deg. bevels since it only tilts towards the fence. I fixed the battery issue by purchasing an extra set of batteries. Other than that, this is by far the best table saw out there for the everyone to enjoy superb German craftsmanship and precision. I rarely use my SawStop Jobsite Pro anymore, I feel safe with this little one.

I still don’t understand why a station tool is designed from the get go to be battery powered. It is designed to be used with a dust extractor attached to it- there is a gigantic “cord” already attached to it. And the dust extractor itself is plugged into the wall and in turn has an auto-on receptacle on the front of it. Why the added cost of batteries, the added weight of batteries, the limited run time and grunt of batteries (I know they are very good)? The tool is already “tethered” to one spot on the jobsite in a manner of speaking. A corded CTC would be cheaper to purchase, lighter weight, “unlimited” amperage and runtime.

All sliding table saws bevel away from the slider. You'll get use to it.

Have you checked the angle of the slider with the table? I got mine today and it's not level. Off by about a degree and changing the height of the slider doesn't fix it. I'd need to put about a dozen sheets of paper on the far edge to get it aligned to the main table. I'll have to call them but wondering if yours is level or if I just got a dud.

Pretty sure the rip fence removed will slide onto the miter fence, which opens the door to aftermarket flip stops. I have the saw and just ordered a cheap flip stop on Amazon mainly to see what fits and what won’t.

It's got a retention screw too so you can tighten as much as you want

Pretty cool design. I've been looking into holsters for comfort and tulster or philster are my favorite right now. That half leather design looks interesting. I'll have to check it out

Its a good thing you showed you're veiwers how this holster is HIDDEN on you're BODY. I can't see myself buying a holster to sit on my COUNTER
