I went to the NEC 2010 to day! Well I couldn't come back empty handed! I went thinking I was just going to look at the Hammer Felder machinery! but then found BunnyBolts! who had Protool and Festool! I had been looking at the Protool Universe for a while on the internet but when I saw BunnyBolts had one and I had a look I had to buy it!! I then noticed he had the Protool Auto Feed screw gun and ofcorse I bought that! Well them two tools cost me £1200 including vat! Then I saw! Lamello magnet Invis kit! I had been looking at them months ago on the internet! but thought to my self they arn't any good cant see them being very strong! Well I was wrong! They are! They hold really well! I was really surprised how well they hold and a must buy! 10% off retail price but it was still going to cost me over £400 so I had to have a think about it so I went for a walk! Thinking I just spend £1200! Then I saw this KONIG repair kit I loved it and bought it cost me £200! So I was on £1400 Carried on walking then saw a MAFFEL section pretty big really didnt bother looking at the JIGSAW because I already own the Carvec but I loved the KSS300 circular saw its really tiny and both the flexible rail and the short spring loaded fit in a systainer! £490  I really wanted it! I was thinking I cant buy the Lamello Invis kit and Maffel! Well my mate loved the Mafel and bought it with a free blade! It made me want it more so we went out side for a drink and something to eat. Then my mate said I am not letting you go back into the NEC because your not spending any more money! So after talking to him and him telling me not to do it we went home! It was a lucky escape really! I cant help my self I just keep on buying!! Oh I had a feel of the CXS at bonny bolts and I must admit the drill feels nice and feels really light and small I kinda liked it. It was a good show! I did take my camera to take pictures but I wasnt comfortable to take pictures Sorry!!! Any way when the Protool Universe and Screw gun arrives ill do a quick little write up on it! Also asked my mate if I can have a play with the Mafel and take pictures and some videos he said no props so when he gets his ill do a little write up on HERE! |

Yes saw the new Hoover lol CTL 26 and T-locks and! T18 which felt pretty heavy but might be because I lifted the CXS just before that. Also saw the Festool WCR 1000.

I must agree with Dean! What stopped me buying the Protool online from him was 2 reasons! One I dont like the layout on his web site and their is no Info it feels kinda half hearted! Two! I didnt like the fact he has 3 websites! Protool Festool BunnyBolts I felt like its a company you could have trouble with like you do with these sister companies where they blame each other and you dont get any where with them seeing him in person has changed my opinion!
I said I know about his web site and I was going to say I think you should just have one site and put more info on it but then thought I want to try and get the best possible price so I dont really want to pee him off! lol

He didnt have any with him just the one he was Demoing! He said I should get it on Monday!! So soon as I get it ill use it trust me I wanna PLAY!!! I already know what I can cut with it so ill have it ready and give it some RIP! I had a look at the Mafel SWORD as you call it and DAM its MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But surprisingly not that heavy as it looks! Also looked at the large SWORD of the Protool but its not as big as the Mafel JMB |

What I really want is the Mafel birds mouth cutter! That would go well with the Sword! I can GANG cut the rafters with my new SWORD and then cut the birds mouth while they are clamped up! but £2000-3000 for a birds mouth cutter justs seems to much 2 me lol

I missed that topic! Dont know how I missed it thought! Big house! And yes the Protool sword and Mafel birds mouth would make light work of that roof! What did you use instead Jigsaw?! Circular saw and finish if with hand saw for the birds mouth?! The Mafel Sword can be set straight so can also be used for cutting birds mouths but for normal cutting he said have it angled to cut quicker. JMB |

Yes it sits on the Guide Rail! and the chain is about 5 mm from the splinter guard so it wont cut the splinter quard so it wont affect the TS55-75 JMB |

gang cut all birds mouths with circular saw (hitachi which goes over to 55deg) cost £119inc vat and 1700watt motor.
i mark all the rafters up when clamped up and cut as deep as i can while clamped up then finish off 1 by 1.

Seemed bigger than my CT22 only because I removed my top section I dont need it makes it bigger and bulky! But the CTL26 looking at it its permanently fixed. But being able to remove the top off completely is very nice much better than the CT22 which is hinged and it has a much larger volume! So when I can convince my self to buy another vacuum I will be buying the CTL26! JMB |

This ..  It feels and it is MASSIVE. I took a breath to lift it thinking it was going to be really heavy! but it wasnt that bad! I wish I asked him show us how it works but because of the price I kinda walked away after that lol! JMB |

whats good about that?! Looks like a normal circular saw. Oh did had a MASSIVE Mafel circular saw the blade was as big as me I wouldnt want that to kick back it would cut me in half! Edited; Oh I c it can have an attachment to make it like a larger groove cutter or birds mouth cutter um I like it. Does it cut as big as the Maffel?!?! JMB |

I dont know about the Mafel but im going to look now! But the Protool says it will only do 2 inch deep and 45degrees 45 degrees doesnt seem shallow enough. Here is a video of the Wide cutter in USE near the end of the video if you cant be bothered to watch all of it http://vidds.net/v/nl/protool-csp-range_A4I4O434J443N3U4Z2H363.htmlJMB |

no i dont think there is a wide housing for the csp 165.
the standard blade is 420mm.
i cant imagine how much the wide housing would be.
