Great Saw for Speaker Projects (Off Topic)

Hi Cappy,

If your hands are on the saw they aren't going to be cut by the blade --
makes sense.

Unlike a table saw, the plunging action of the Festool blade means the blade is almost never exposed outside of the work. The cutting operation can be achieved safely with only one hand. I tend to use the other hand to ensure power cable and dust collection hose do not get snagged.

Also it isn't expensive.

I found the price a bit daunting. I recommend using the Festool dust collection indoors, which about doubles the price. Add two 1.4m guides and connectors to cut 2.4m. It is a serious investment. However, I found the product to be very well engineered and revolutionised the way I cut and reduced the handling of large sheets. The workarea required to cut and handle sheets is reduced by over half.

Regards
Steve
