The thoughtfulness of how Festool designs and engineers their products is mind blowing. It’s nice to see a company innovating beyond just popping a battery on everything. Kudos on the collab 🎉
I recently purchased this saw, along with their new TSV-60 track saw w/scoring blade. With the tracksaw to cut down sheet goods, the small table saw can handle 90% of what I need a table saw to do. I DID find that I miss having measurements and stops on the miter gauge, so I purchased Benchdog's miter fence for it. Nice combo. With a minor adjustment to the sliding table (see the discussion on the FOG message board, it's now the accurate saw I was hoping it would be. My current project of kitchen cabinet faceframes, doors and drawers is a good match for this saw.
I love the scoring blade feature on TSV-60, it’s such a great secondary blade for plywood cutting. What was the issue you had with the sliding table?
@@ClarasWoodshop It was angled just slightly down away from the blade and threw off my crosscuts when I was using the miter gauge and the sliding table. In the discussion on the Festool Owner's Group (aka, "FOG") people figured out how to shim the height adjusters under the sliding table mount to bring the sliding table level with the stationary table. ALL table saws I have worked with have had to be trued up in some way - my Delta Unisaw, Bosch contractor saw, Milwaukee battery powered saw - all had some adjustment to be made. Part of the deal of using a table saw. This isn't a big deal - 10 minutes, 2 pieces of blue tape... easy-peasy... I even did it for another owner.
Extremely well done. Great information. I'm subscibed! Thanks!!
Thank you so much!!! :-)
What a great review on this fine saw. Excellent in the way you described the experience with it. Happy woodworking 👍
Thank you! And I’m glad you can appreciate it 😁🙌
Congratulations on the collaboration with Festool. They were very smart to pick you. You both did an awesome job with this one.
Thank you, Ronin Dosho!!! It means a lot! We had a lot of fun with this collaboration :-)
My first use of the saw was at my remote cabin in Alaska, off road and off grid. I hauled it out on my snow mobile. So amaizingl easy to haul, worked so well.
That’s so awesome!!! Being able to work off the grid sounds amazing :-) Would love to see!
I have to say that I really like all your content. I'm going to check out this saw as I'm looking for a new one. Thankyou for the content.
Thank you! I appreciate that you enjoy the videos, Keith! Let me know if you have any questions!
Nice Video! That Crosscut fence is pretty sweet.
Yessss! I love that entire sliding table feature :-)
Thanks. I just ordered mine. I can't wait.
Let me know how you like yours!! I'm curious to hear other people's opinion on it :-)
It's perfect! I don't know if that's what you wanted to hear as it's quite expensive. I don't think it's quite worth the price, but neither is a Ferrari. It's very well designed and executed. Let me know what you decide.@@ClarasWoodshop
By the way, I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while. You're much more competent than I am. Love your work.@@ClarasWoodshop
What I like about it is probably not what engineers had really in mind while designing it... What I mean is its motor! It is battery powered and as aside effect it is brushless. All corded construction saws use universal motors with brushes which are very noisy. And nobody cares to make a proper one, fearing it will be to expensive. At least it fits to festool price.
Now, if I could only reproduce all these motorized adjustments for hand tool version of a table saw - bridge city tool works jointmaker pro, that would really make my dream come true!
That’s pretty amazing! Much of which, I had no idea :-) Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on it!
Great Vid and congrats on the collab! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you so much! 😁🙌
Congrats on the collab!
Thank you so much!!! 😁😁
why do you not use the blade guard?
my 4th video or 5th... im enjoying the content and going backwards in your time
That’s what I do when I find new channels too! Time travel 😂
Buy once cry once. 🙌🏻
lollll - buy once, cry once, and smile the rest 🤣
until the new version comes out with major improvements. they really cry.
its perfect for my wife. she does dollhouses (i got two CSC Sys 50) and a metric ton of batteries.
I absolutely think it’d be perfect for that!
I really should take pictures of all her Festool gear i got her.. she wont touch my Traditional Japanese tools.
👍👍
Keep being your best self!
Thank you so much, Gregory, I will! :-)
great video thank you, I'm a big fan of Festool, and have many of their tools, would love to own one of these saws , but.... why oh why do they not make a mains (240v here in the UK) model?!? Thanks again, have subscribed.
Very awesome post!
Thank you so much!!! 😁😁
❤ did you reverse the seat on the chair? it looked like the wider part of the board was on the back. awesome video, nice to see the behind the scenes 😊
I don't THINK I reversed it... but if I did, whoops lol
Have you tried beveled rips yet? Specifically all the way to 45 degrees? I got the whole kit and will try it out on that next week. According to the manual they want the rip fence in the low position and slid closer to the front of the saw.
No, I haven't made any beveled rip cuts yet so let me know how it goes! :-)
There is not a single piece of useful information. Just empty useless talk🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Bla Bla Bla 😖
What kind of information are you looking for in a diary documenting my experience and listing the pros and cons? I was pretty upfront about everything in the beginning.
maybe its hard for certain aspects to be covered because this is your first table saw correct?@@ClarasWoodshop
I have a SawStop contractor table saw. This was my experience and opinion from my first time using Festool’s table saw.
Ah ok, I too own the CTS and its good but the paddle switch already had to be replaced due to malfunction and the top is not as flat as I would like it to be. Sawstop sent me one for free quickly, good CS. I lengthened the fence with extrusion and made a removeable infeed extender on it while sitting on a cabinet with outfeed extended also. Festool should have put a rack and pinion fence on it like the CTS/dewalt, they own Sawstop. This is really targeted toward installers who need the smallest available package, who have extremely limited room in their vans and are already in the festool "system". I do not like the bevel toward the fence either. It is tempting, but the CTS has the finger saver tech, which is why I use it over my dewalt 7491rs, which I actually would rather use.... but I like my fingers more. @@ClarasWoodshop
@@ClarasWoodshop You are talking about nothing.....This is my opinion🤷♂️
great vid 👍
Thank you! 😁🙌
Amazing tool...
I like the dust extractor....and the battery....is really that small???......if its true that this is the tool I've been dreaming of
It's kind of mind blowing how tiny it is! And if you're thinking mostly small to medium sized projects, I'd say it's an all-around winner :-)
Oh man I like how you are chilling all relax like at the beach at 11:30 your a true tomboy in those overalls! 😂 you should grab a sword and shield battle goblins and monsters like link does in the legend of Zelda links awakening! A beautiful girl in those overalls fighting dodongos queen gohma and oktoroks on the beach and taking down ganon while in those overalls and saving Princess Zelda 😂 if you can take down ganon your the strongest tomboy ever in those overalls 😂😂 keep up the goodwork with your videos 😊 Hyrule is safe since this masculine and pretty woman in those overalls is running the beach 🥰
Paid content. Not even worth taking seriously. UA-camrs are so easily bought.
Interesting. I’m sorry you feel that way.
5 minutes in and you are still yapping on and on....this is a tool, people want to see the tool being used not hear your life story
It’s a video about my experience working with Festool on this project. I can’t give an in depth review off of less than a day of use and as I noted in my other reply, this isn’t a review video.
Jesus get to the point and just use the damnd saw....why do we need the entire backstory?
You don’t need the backstory. This video also isn’t a review video.
It's overpriced for its ability. People are wowed over by the digital dials. But there is no "distance to fence". That would make it worth its price to be able to resort back to a previous cut width. Blade height is not useful if no dado stack as you mentioned. Just eyeball and crank is fastest. Having to pack and unpack is also a time killer. My milwaukee cordless has a handle. That's it. Plop it up and start cutting. Grab it and throw it in the truck. No careful breakdowns and aligning perfectly placed pieces in the lid. It is a sweet looking tool, so if you are a rich festool fanboy, enjoy it for your dollhouses.
Dollhouses!? 🤭🤭🤭 Too funny 😂 I can totally understand where you’re coming from. Definitely not something I’d say could be the only saw if you’re doing some bigger projects, but it’s wonderful for tasks of medium to smaller scale - I suppose dollhouses qualifies for that too 🤣
Good thing people have Festool to make precision doll houses and Milwaukee to build slap up houses…
Hatorade!!!! The table saw is awesome and performs better than any other cordless table saw .
