*Great saw **MyBest.Tools** and track for the price can't beat it although the blade could be better but easily switched out.*
rogers plumbing background ensures he doesn't get overwhelmed by fancy features.
Agree with it being underpowered Roger. I’ve used the mafell 18v mt55 plunge saw that puts this to shame even tho it’s only 18v. Great series btw.
Had my cordless one for 3 years never had a problem with power use on oak fire doors all the time
You probably know already but the newer Festool batteries have an independent button to check charge out of tools.
Learning as you go Men. Gotta Love it
The later version has battery charge indicators on the back of each battery they are now much easier to remove as well. Single charger.
Great reviews guys but I don’t think this has been the best review of this saw with you having battery issues , I’ve heard it’s pretty powerful and on par with the Dewalt flexvolt , I think it’s because you had an older tool with the old batteries to , would you be able to get your hands on the newer model with the airstream batteries to try out as a comparison against the flexvolt . Cheers keep the great reviews coming 👍
That’s my biggest problem with 110v festool. Lacks bollocks. 1200w isn’t enough when mafell give 1400. I have the rip fence which is great but when the saw at arts to heat up it becomes torture.
Are you going to test the cordless Mafell track saw??
Great saw for light work. uses batteries up though had to get rid and go back to mains
seen some of the comments but thanks for showing the cordless anyway .are all of them 240v or have we any 110v as never seen anyone say if that make a difference . looking forward to the end results .
Hi there again, u know u two get on really nice together u would make a nice couple :). ....anyway yesterday I asked you about Mafell V festool corded. Would you still go for the mafell over this cordless festool plunge saw? Ps you did not mention the vacum bag - how good or bad it was,, any opinion?
Power, or lack there of: Surely its down the actually power rating of the motor - how many Watts was it? Compare that to one of the AC mains powered version, often the battery powered one are lacking in comparison. Also was it DC brushed, or Brushless motor? (which is actually a 3 phase AC motor + inverter electronics) - as I have seen with Makita one gets a lot more efficiency and useful power out your typical Li Ion battery pack with one of their latest Brushless tools.Just one other thing about a 2nd battery - it would add the same capacity to deliver extra power whether in parallel or serial , the main thing about using a higher voltage is less power loss in cables (I squared R) - higher voltage, less Amps will flow, and power loss is the square of current.
Good series lads. A little bit odd you are comparing cordless with corded though.
I completely agree, its not at all a fair comparison and is actually a little misleading - though I fully appreciate you are doing your best. Any reason Festool won't send you a loan tool to evaluate? My feeling is that if they won't, its because they no it won't fair as well as some of the (undoubtedly cheaper!) competition.
Used to own that, so under powered, currently using Makita cordless twice the power.
I sold my corded Festool TS55 and bought the Makita 36v tracksaw. It's a beast. Absolutely brilliant in my applications.
Which plungesaw is best to get david.im about to plunge in and buy my first .its all wet wall panelling im doing now
Really valid point about the depth of cut being measured off the rail 👍🏻
i think i had somthing realy good to say regarding tools, after reading paul and onells agressive banter, piss funny btw forgot what i was gunna put
I thought robin was going to give Roger a slap at the beginning😀
Will you do a series in portable table saws thanks
the reason why this saw seems under powered is due to it having the biggest kerf 2.2 mm thick no other brand uses a blade with this size kerf. but you will find the blade doesn't bend during cuts.
is that a g-tech ram with a saw blade?
Batteries need close attention. How quickly they can be recharged is for me a key parameter. I prefer two 3AHr batteries rather than one 6AHr battery since one battery can be on the charger while you use the tool. Choosing batteries with a fast charge rate is therefore Important so that you are not left waiting
Cant wait till someone says how amazing mafell are.
My festool saw is not under powerd 6.2 airstream battery cuts evrything a have asked it to do. Gd videos but guys
How many years warranty are on the saw and battery’s
So I guess you won’t be testing Screwfix scheppach 😢 we can’t all afford the big names
Gutless wonder. My dewalt would eat that alive. Great channel 👍
What Snickers trousers are you wearing Roger?
You don’t need to change the depth when using Fast Fix.
couldn't get a new tool fair enough, sure you could of put on a new blade though? would of given better comparison.
Yes we could spend money making manufacturers look better but they could have sent a new tool in and saved us all a bit of aggro
@@SkillBuilder yes you shouldn’t have to borrow one, come on Festool send them new saw with new airstream batteries.
Jesus I am 10 mins in and nothing on cutting and power
Don’t you just buy the brand of tool your already invested in. I’m in the Festool ecosystem so just buy the bare tool. They all pretty much do the same job
Festoon. Parts made in China, assembled in Germany?...
Assembled in Poland I think
it locks it by locking the plastic fan.
That is interesting.
Hi .
Why do a video about festool when you know nothing about it.
Hi Rob
I am assuming your question is genuine and not just rhetorical. Robin has owned a Festool for years. Roger had one but found it under-powered. They discussed this and talked about the pros and cons. The review was part of a series which culminated in them choosing their favourite saw out of all the ones they tested. Did Robin stick with Festool? Did Roger find something more powerful. Sorry if this was a difficult narrative for you to understand.
@@SkillBuilder Even worse if he actually owned it and still described it incorrectly.
He's using the old batteries...... I have the 5.2 amp batteries... they even have 6.2ah battery..... those batteries arent airstream. And also if the blade is old.... mine has plenty power in it.... never would store it outside in the cold. It feels on par with the 240v powered saws... so try using new equipment
The point is you want a tool that still works when it's not brand new
If Festool had sent us a new saw with new batteries we would have tested it. We did what we could, short of going out and buying one.
Mines is same as urs plenty of power and brilliant!
O.k but this saw struggled so there is no use pretending it didn't. They still have time to send a brand new saw out and we will test that as well.
Yea but your comparing it to totally new tools.... and that's just not fair. You also say about storage... if it's stored outside... all the cells in the battery won't work either... especially thru the bad weather.
