Thumbs up doesn’t mean you like the product, it says you appreciate this guy for doing work for us.
lol towards the end of the video I was thinking… and I saw your comment captured my sentiment.👍Thanks!
This guy runs his own channel and taught me SO much about the Festool Domino. I trust this guy. He's great.
He’s okay, but he probably gets all the Festool tools free, he doesn’t have to justify the cost of them.
I’ve never been in love with a pice of equipment before. That changed when I got this table saw.
Festool is the tesla of power tools. I especially like their domino tool. 5" sander is also outstanding. Festool dust collection is second to none. Great engineering.
to this day i still can't picture myself use a tablesaw without a powered outlet nearby. I really hoped they have a corded version of this, seem quite handy
The variable speed is pretty cool
I have a very small home with limited storage and want a small saw and this thing fits the bill perfectly! I absolutely love all the features except one, it's exclusively cordless. No thanks, I don't want to be forced into a subscription service having to buy extremely expensive batteries every few years just to be able to use the saw occasionally. Make a corded version and I will be happy to buy day one.
Festool delivers another great product.
Yes they do
This is a great complimentary tool that fits into the festool system perfectly. It can’t replace your main tablesaw but it brings enough to the table that it’s worthwhile owning. The batteries last more than long enough and it’s just a really useful piece of gear
Still don't understand why they made this a battery powered saw looks like a great bit of kit for cabinetry installs and finishing. I would probably of bought it already if they made it corded.
@sedgetool on this channel is a great crossover episode. Hope you guys feature more Festool on here!
Definitely a flooring guys wet dream. A little over the top for my uses. I prefer the wider rip capacity of other site saws just in case. The sled is also a no-go for me personally as I've had situations where I needed to move the fence to the other side of the blade in order to bevel plinth blocks that I couldn't do in one pass with maxed out blade height. I don't think their batteries are big enough either. I've used my DeWalt cordless exclusively for ~2 years now and you need some bigger options. I'm dying to dip my toe into Festool but this doesn't quite fit the bill. Cordless miter is still very appealing though. I'll never understand why they don't just say $2000. $1999 is not fooling anyone and after tax it'll be higher. Thank you for the video sir. I would pay $2000 for this long before I paid $900 for the sawstop.
well you're probably one of the smartest reviewers you didn't actually spend your money on it. Although this is pretty old news by now.
LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES! looks like the German slingshot guy!
“With Festool, it’s the small thing… the push stick is right here!” Hahahahahahaha for $2500 I get an underpowered tiny table saw with a push stick conveniently located in the exact same place as every Dewalt table saw ever lol
Thanks for the show as always!
Slowing down the rpm is great for lessening saw vibration and increased safety. Look at all the cheap table saws, they all have high rpm and dangerous high vibrations. I enjoy working with cabinet building table saws (belt driven) = low rpm and vibration. But when on job sites there's no choice but to use portable contractor table saws. Bosch offers a decent low rpm and slow start for around 1k.
Great video! Now, take a look at Mafell Erika 85. Nice German site saw with many nice features.
I'll stick with my DeWalt job site saw 32 inch rip and all these features with push stick and quick change riving knife
Anyone remember back when you could buy a 3hp Unisaw, or a Powermatic model 66 made in Tennessee , for around $1500.00. Yes, I know you couldn't take them out of the shop without a forklift .
Let's say that was 1970 (not sure what year you're casting your memory back to!). $1,500 in 1970 would be the inflation adjusted equivalent of (drumroll) $12,000 in 2024. In 1975, $1,500 would be $8,650 today. In 1980, $5,650 today.
I love festool and most of my kit is now cordless festool, but this is too expensive for me, I would only use it every now and then, so I think I’m going to go with the Milwaukee instead 😢
Sedge and Rob Robillard in one video! 👍 How soon are you going to get one Rob? I want one badly.
Hi Rob, If you do a review on this can you address the alignment issues/blade bevel accuracy adjustments( or non adjustable +- .02 degrees) that many people have brought in forums and some on youtube. Also wanted to ask if right blade tilt will be a problem if you do a lot of bevel/rip cuts? Thanks!
It looks like a great tool for finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and others who need to do precision work on a job site. It's not a replacement for a table saw in a shop.
I would agree but say this might also be an excellent small saw for fine woodworkers who simply don't have the space for a full size cabinet table saw and aren't typically working with full size sheet goods. The compatibility with Festool's awesome portable dust collectors also means no need for a large dust collection system. I don't currently own any, but I used several Festool products (domino and dust extractor) in a woodworking program and came away very impressed.
@@readyplayer2 You are correct. Festool's new saw might be a good fit for some small collection of fine woodworkers. However, for the overwhelming majority of woodworkers, there are better options for a table saw. For one thing, in the shop, battery power provides virtually no benefit for a table saw. Nor is extreme portability a great advantage in a shop saw. Even if you store the saw on a shelf when it's not being used, why store it in a sustainer just to put it on a shelf? Don't get me wrong, this saw has a lot of really cool features that most fine woodworkers would find attractive. Who wouldn't like the ability to repeatably and accurately set a blade angle with the push of a button? But, those features don't make up for what this saw lacks, which is capacity. It has a maximum rip capacity of 11", a cross cut capacity of less than 18", and a depth of cut of only 1-3/8". That's right, you cannot rip standard 2x lumber on this saw! Most woodworkers will need greater capacity than provided by this saw. It doesn't even accept a dado stack. (At least, Festool doesn't say it does.) If you need a compact table saw for a wood shop, there are simply better options for virtually all woodworkers. If all you make are relatively small items so the saw's lack of cut capacity doesn't limit you, then it might be a good fit. For most of us, it's not. But, Festool didn't make the saw for use in a shop. It's made for installers and others who need a precision job site saw and who can live with the saw's limited cut capacity. Were I still a finish carpenter, I'd order one today.
Agreed - Festool did not intend this to be a shop saw
@@DKWalserGood points re: capacity!
Depth of cut is 1-7/8” at 0 degrees according to specs on the festool site.
Audio is WAY out of sync after 4:25 mark.
Sorry - tough to record at trade shows
Not crazy expensive! Actually pretty good value compared to other products in festool’s line up! Not that I can afford any, just saying!
My only criticism with this tool is the lack of advanced finger / flesh saving safety features. Doesn't Festool's parent company (TTS) also own Sawstop? This Festool saw would come in around $200 more than Sawstop's Jobsite Saw Pro. While this looks like a superior small saw in almost every way, it's hard to overemphasize how nice it is to able to count to ten without taking your socks off, or to have to tell your customer that their job is going to be late because your guy just neatly removed his pointer finger. Even if there are patent licensing related issues between Festool and SawStop as different corporate entities, I believe Sawstop's patents have expired; couldn't Festool have incorporated similar technology? I would have liked the salesperson / product demonstrator to explain why in 2024 they're unveiling a new portable table saw without flesh detection technology.
This saw would be perfect for me if it was corded and had sawstop
This guy doesn’t have to buy the tools, and justify the price.
It's an expensive niche tool. Can do all in s well complemented job site saw 1/3 this price.
I wish they’d stop saying “cabinet makers” love this saw. Cabinet installers like it. This saw is useless for cabinet makers. I know he corrects himself, but like all KZhead videos that mention this saw, none of them seem to point out that it specifically ISN’T for cabinet MAKERS.
Correct a cabinet maker wants a full size cabinet saw and tables
It’s ridiculous money for a portable table saw, I’ll stick with my Dewalt in fact I think I would rather have my Dewalt, and I don’t really like the idea of a cordless table saw.
The DEWALT cordless saw is excelent
I think it’s junk, I would never buy a cordless table saw, it’s a stationary tool just plug it into the mains.
Too bad festool can’t get the table flat. Quality control issues such as flatness are zero excuse for festool. I love their tools but this was a big misstep. It makes me very nervous to purchase this product from them. Not to mention it can’t take a dado. Yeah Sedge. It is the little things. Like table flatness!!!!!
Look what I can do 😅, while I'm already done cutting and installing this guy's playing with his screen 😅
At $1800 without batteries it's 3x the price of the competition. Yeah no thanks
Any table saw with less than 24” of capacity is useless to me.
This thing is a toy, a very expensive underpowered toy.
