Base System.
The new Festool Carvex 420 jigsaws have six different application-specific tool-free swappable bases and base plates. One of the most noteable is the angle base. The dual beveling angle base allows you to make inside or outside angle cuts which increased precision and stability.

The angle base has two beveling feet that provide greater stability and accuracy when making inside or outside angle cuts. A steel base plate is available for metal-cutting applications. A guide rail adapter base gives you the ability to use Festool guide rails for straight, accurate cuts and also serves as the base for attaching the circle and radius cutting accessory. Use the hook-and-loop base plate with replaceable felts to prevent scratches on delicate materials. A dimpled base plate is available for uneven surfaces and is low-friction. The hard fiber base plate has an ultra-smooth surface with low friction.

For your best value, consider the Carvex Accessory Kit, which contains all of these bases as well as other accessories in a Systainer for organization.

Cut Line Visibility.
The new Carvex 420 jigsaws were designed to ensure high visibility of the blade and cut line. After all, your cut is only as good as your ability to see what you're cutting, right?

We started with four high-intensity LED lights that are stroboscopic, meaning that they pulse in unison with the blade. That strobe effect makes the blade appear to stand still as you cut making it easier to stay on course. The LEDs provide great visibility even in low-light conditions. The LEDs can be configured in three modes: always on, always off or stroboscopic.

The adjustable dust guard can be slid up or down to maximize visibility while ensuring effective dust collection.

Speaking of dust collection, Festool's reputation for great dust extraction means you won't have sawdust covering your cut line.

Splinter-Free Cuts.
When working with expensive materials like cabinet grade veneered plywood or MDF, it is important to have cuts that leave splinter-free edges to eliminate re-work or to minimize the amount of time spent cleaning up the cut.

Festool Trion and Carvex jigsaws have an innovative replaceable splinterguard that acts as a zero clearance for the blade. The splinterguard prevents tearing and chipping, leaving you with crisp, clean cuts. Splinterguards are made from clear plastic, so your cut line is unobstructed. The splinterguard simply slides into the base of the jigsaw without the need for tools or adjustments.

Festool's MMC electronics and a variable speed setting will ensure that a consistent and appropriate blade speed is used for the material being cut. MMC also protects the jigsaw from overheating and overload scenarios.

Perpendicular Cuts.
You've probably experienced less-than-square cuts with a jigsaw before. Well, that's a thing of the past with Festool Trion and Carvex jigsaws.

Festool's triple blade guidance system ensures that the blade stays perfectly perpendicular, even when cutting materials up to 4-3/4" in thickness. The guidance system prevents blade deflection and results in cleaner cut quality.
