Big foot

[Kev]

I'll take that as a no then.

Maybe the deafening silence is due to a lot of activity on the phones to suppliers and international freight forwarders  [wink]

hey kev i think you might be right. i think all the dealers are pulling together to make this happen for me

 

[Michael Kellough]

Do any Bigfoot dealers even sell Festool? Or read this forum out of envy curiosity?

 

[Deansocial]

No idea, but was hoping so done would be able to help me out. Unless anyone can suggest a saw that swings over to 75°

Ya, surely someone around you has a chainsaw!  [poke]

I want 1 for gang cutting rafters. As at the moment I can gang  cut birds mouths on 35° plus but not lower.i want ahead cutter aswell for the head cuts. The protool would do for that but is limited to 200mm cut which is a 150mm rafter really.

A couple of things:

1. I covered my keyboard in drool watching those mafell tools in action.

2. Bigfoot tools will do the same thing for 1/8th the cost.  It will take two passes for the bird's mouth.

I have the bigfoot 10 1/4" saw as well as the swing table on a skil 77m and I love the saw (get the diablo blade).  I would suggest geting the kit and either a skil 77m or bosch 1670m to go with it.  There is no need for the extra weight of the 77hd.

I can't coment on the head cutter other than to say that it wont be as comfortable to use as the mafell, but you have unlimited power and bar length by attaching it to a chain saw.

let me know if you need help on your quest.  I'd be happy to ship kit to you.

The History Channel has a lot more info about Bigfoot that you are not considering [eek]. Rumor  and some plaster casts show that his Domino is much bigger than even the XL...  [eek] careful what you ask for.

Cheers,

I loosest apt the mafell saws and theyg swing to 60° and I want 75°

 

[GhostFist]

does the Bigfoot allow you to do that? I was impressed with a 30° bevel off of plane. I've never seen a saw that can do 15°

 

[Deansocial]

It does with the swing table. My cheap saw does 55°/35°.
